(1)  (3/1 +10%)Paso Doble |
3/1(+10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Paso Doble 3/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who quickly reached a similar standard over hurdles, making it 2 wins from 5 starts when landing odds at Taunton in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 17 days ago. Respected. | |||
1st (2)  (0.33/1 +47%)Broomfield Burg |
0.33/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Broomfield Burg 0.33/1, Looked a good prospect when winning bumper and has improved on each outing since a successful start over hurdles, strong-travelling second in a Cheltenham handicap last time. Leading claims. | |||
2nd (4)  (4.5/1 +55%)Black Poppy |
4.5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Black Poppy 4.5/1, Made a winning debut in a Warwick bumper in March. Fair form when in the frame on both completed starts in novice hurdles this term. More will be needed here, though. | |||
3rd (3)  (16/1 +11%)Corrigeen Rock |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Corrigeen Rock 16/1, Point winner who made successful start over hurdles at Kelso in October. Disappointing when only sixth at Ayr since but it's likely something was amiss (hung right) and he remains capable of better. | |||
4th (5)  (50/1 +24%)Highstakesplayer |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Highstakesplayer 50/1, Fair form in bumpers and shaped as if better for the run on hurdling debut after 10 months off at Aintree in October. Disappointing next time, and firmly up against it in this company. | |||
5th (6)  (11/1 -29%)Robelli |
11/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Robelli 11/1, Bumper winner who returned to action with a solid start over hurdles when runner-up at Warwick last month. Needs a marked step forward if he's to go one better in this, though. |

1st (5)  (11/1 +21%)Jacamar |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jacamar 11/1, Pretty useful hurdler and has shown even better form in defeat over fences, going down only narrowly at Wincanton 12 days ago. 2 lb rise looks fair given he came clear of the third. Cheekpieces added. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 +22%)Mister Coffey |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mister Coffey 3.5/1, Progressed into useful hurdler last season, ending campaign with good fourth of 22 in Grade 3 handicap at Aintree. Sound start to his chase career when third of 5 at Newbury last month. More to come. | |||
3rd (7)  (9/1 +25%)Your Darling |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Your Darling 9/1, Bumper winner who tasted success over hurdles in May and surpassed that with impressive chase debut win at Huntingdon (2½m) in October. Only fifth at Aintree since but remains type to do better. | |||
4th (4)  (3.5/1 -27%)Danny Kirwan |
3.5/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Danny Kirwan 3.5/1, Both hurdle wins on right-handed tracks. Looks the part for chasing and made a promising start when 3 lengths second of 5 in Cheltenham novice handicap in October. Form boosted. Major player. | |||
5th (6)  (16/1 -33%)Iconic Muddle |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Iconic Muddle 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler and already better over fences, opening his account in this discipline with a ready success at Huntingdon in May. 7-month absence to overcome but likely he has more to offer. | |||
6th (8)  (8/1 +33%)Killer Kane |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Killer Kane 8/1, £300,000 buy from the pointing field. Came good over hurdles with 17f Exeter maiden win in March. Failed to build on chase debut third when beaten at short odds since but still it's early days. | |||
|F| (3)  (3.5/1 -17%)Bothwell Bridge |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bothwell Bridge 3.5/1, Useful in bumpers and won twice in novice hurdles last term. Successful start over fences in Sandown novice handicap at the beginning of December. Sure to improve for top stable. | |||
|PU| (1)  (7.5/1 +12%)Sebastopol |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sebastopol 7.5/1, Useful hurdler who reached a similar level at second time of asking over fences when 4¾ lengths second of 4 to Third Time Lucki in Cheltenham Grade 2. In control when falling last over 2¼m here since. |

1st (2)  (1.2/1 -32%)Bravemansgame |
1.2/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bravemansgame 1.2/1, One of last season's leading novice hurdlers and has, predictably, taken well to chasing, now 2 from 2 in this sphere after a superb display of jumping at Haydock last month. Excellent claims. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.1/1 +12%)Ahoy Senor |
1.1/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ahoy Senor 1.1/1, Successful pointer/unbeaten hurdler (including Grade 1) who landed the John Francome novices chase at Newbury last month by a wide margin. Exciting prospect who is set to put up another bold bid. | |||
3rd (3)  (28/1 +30%)Kiltealy Briggs |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kiltealy Briggs 28/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who has looked as good as ever lately, landing a 4-runner novice at Haydock with little to spare 25 days ago. He's not up to the top level, though. | |||
4th (4)  (10/1 +60%)Tea Clipper |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tea Clipper 10/1, Useful and progressive hurdler who created excellent impression when landing 2m4f listed event on chasing debut. Disappointing at Newbury last time, however, and this is a stiff task for him. |

1st (5)  (0.8/1 +12%)Epatante |
0.8/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Epatante 0.8/1, Three-time Grade 1 winner who probably wasn't ideally suited by speed-blunting conditions when dead heating for first with Not So Sleepy in the Fighting Fifth. The one to beat. | |||
2nd (1)  (28/1 +44%)Glory And Fortune |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glory And Fortune 28/1, Improver this term, scoring at Plumpton before taking the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las. Far from disgraced in good-quality handicaps subsequently but very much looks up against at this level. | |||
3rd (3)  (8.5/1 -13%)Soaring Glory |
8.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Soaring Glory 8.5/1, Impressive winner of Betfair Hurdle last term and took his form up another notch with Ascot listed handicap success on return. Not seen to best effect in a small field last time and retains potential. | |||
4th (4)  (4/1 +33%)Tritonic |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tritonic 4/1, Smart on Flat and seemed well suited by a test of stamina at this trip when landing the Betfair Exchange Trophy under a well-judged ride at Ascot (15.7f) last week. This obviously requires more. | |||
5th (2)  (4/1 -33%)Not So Sleepy |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Not So Sleepy 4/1, Very smart hurdler who proved better than ever fit from the Flat when dead heating for first with Epatante in 6-runner Fighting Fifth Hurdle 29 days ago. Should go well again. |

1st (9)  (28/1 +0%)Tornado Flyer |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tornado Flyer 28/1, High-class chaser. 18/1, creditable 8 lengths fifth of 10 to Allaho in John Durkan at Punchestown on reappearance but his record suggests he's not quite up to this level. | |||
2nd (3)  (3.5/1 -5%)Clan Des Obeaux |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clan Des Obeaux 3.5/1, Impressive winner of this in 2018 and 2019. Below-form third to Frodon last year but back to form with a bang in cheekpieces in spring, winning Grade 1s at Aintree and Punchestown. Bold bid likely. | |||
3rd (8)  (25/1 +0%)Saint Calvados |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Saint Calvados 25/1, Capable of mixing it at Grade 1 level at best for Harry Whittington, including fourth to Frodon in this last year. Had wind surgery (also tongue tied first time) ahead of first run for Paul Nicholls. | |||
4th (4)  (7/1 -8%)Frodon |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Frodon 7/1, Top-class chaser who made all in this last year. Had Minella Indo behind when landing another Grade 1 win on Down Royal reappearance. Superb jumper who is unlikely to give up crown without a fight. | |||
5th (5)  (28/1 -75%)Lostintranslation |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lostintranslation 28/1, Pulled up in the last 2 runnings of this but got his career back on track after wind surgery with 21f Ascot Grade 2 win in November. This is a whole lot tougher, though. | |||
|F| (1)  (6/1 +8%)Asterion Forlonge |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Asterion Forlonge 6/1, High-class chaser who took his form up another notch with easy win in handicap company at Punchestown in April. Looked a threat when unseating 3 out in John Durkan on reappearance there. | |||
|PU| (2)  (3/1 +33%)Chantry House |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chantry House 3/1, Ended excellent novice chase campaign with Grade 1 successes at Cheltenham and Aintree. Warmed up for this with easy win in a match at Sandown. This his toughest task but there could be more to come. | |||
|PU| (6)  (3.33/1 +0%)Minella Indo |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Minella Indo 3.33/1, Saw off stablemate A Plus Tard to win Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. Shaped as if needing run when 5 lengths third to Frodon on Down Royal return. Cheekpieces added. The one to beat on Gold Cup form. | |||
|PU| (7)  (33/1 -18%)Mister Fisher |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mister Fisher 33/1, Dual Grade 2 chase winner who ended last season with a close second to Frodon in Sandown Grade 2 in April. Likely to need a big career best to go close on this reappearance, though. |

(9)  (28/1 -75%)Hydroplane |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hydroplane 28/1, Progressive over timber last term, notching 4 victories (latest in April). Good third in Chester Plate back on the Flat but pulled up back hurdling at Doncaster a month ago. Tongue tie now fitted. | |||
(10)  (80/1 +0%)Albert Van Ornum |
80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Albert Van Ornum 80/1, Fair ex-French 13f Flat winner. Clear signs of ability in juvenile/maiden hurdles but beaten a long way out in a lesser handicap than this last time and is 10 lb out of the weights here. | |||
1st (2)  (7.5/1 +12%)Marie's Rock |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Marie's Rock 7.5/1, Couple of underwhelming runs last term after an absence but step back in right direction after wind op when third in listed company at Wetherby, Just a fair effort back in a handicap at Cheltenham. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.5/1 +22%)An Tailliur |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) An Tailliur 3.5/1, Is improving at a rate of knots, readily completing the five-timer in 23f Exeter handicap prior to unseating at the first at Cheltenham. Cast that mishap aside when going in again at Taunton. Player. | |||
3rd (8)  (6.5/1 +28%)On To Victory |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) On To Victory 6.5/1, Very useful on the Flat and also won twice in this sphere last term. Fit from the level and already expensive to follow over hurdles in recent weeks. Now tries a new trip. | |||
4th (5)  (14/1 +0%)Commanche Red |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Commanche Red 14/1, Bounced back from a quiet spell to capitalise on a reduced mark in first-time visor in April. Shaped quite well back there last month and well handicapped if he is the right mood. | |||
5th (3)  (8.5/1 -13%)Ecco |
8.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ecco 8.5/1, Second in this a year ago and added jumpers' bumper in February. Had a wind op prior to reappearance and though he may have needed it at Doncaster, it's not the first time he's finished weakly. | |||
6th (1)  (4/1 +33%)Earlofthecotswolds |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Earlofthecotswolds 4/1, Lower in the weights over hurdles but better than ever last month, following up his easy Wetherby win at Newbury. Up 5 lb for latter success but demands respect. | |||
|PU| (7)  (5.5/1 +0%)Our Surprise |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Our Surprise 5.5/1, Landed the odds in maiden company in April and better form when placed twice switched to handicap company at up to 19.7f during the autumn. Unexposed and looks worth a go at this trip. | |||
|PU| (6)  (6.5/1 -44%)Heross Du Seuil |
6.5/1(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Heross Du Seuil 6.5/1, Ex-French bumper winner who landed 2m course juvenile on yard debut a year ago. Not quite at that level despite finishing runner-up both starts since and current mark looks a shade too high. |

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
