1st (6)  (6/1 +33%)Fight For It |
6/1(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fight For It 6/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and similar form in this sphere when third of 10 in novice over C&D 18 days ago. Shortlisted. | |||
2nd (5)  (8/1 -7%)Zucayan |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zucayan 8/1, Modest hurdler. 13/2, creditable fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f) 22 days ago, not knocked about. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should still improve. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.1/1 -33%)Leylak |
1.1/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Leylak 1.1/1, Cheekpieces on and much improved when third of 14 in 2m juvenile hurdle at Ascot 13 months ago. Holds very good form claims on that form if fully tuned up after absence. | |||
4th (1)  (2/1 +33%)Blenkinsop |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blenkinsop 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Very good third of 11 in novice hurdle (14/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f) 63 days ago. Considered. | |||
5th (4)  (18/1 +36%)White Turf |
18/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) White Turf 18/1, Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs, visored when creditable second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f) 9 months ago. More needed on his return. | |||
6th (2)  (66/1 -136%)Cityzen Serg |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cityzen Serg 66/1, Fair winner at 9f on flat. 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. Needs to build on it now. | |||
7th (7)  (200/1 -60%)Torino |
200/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Torino 200/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but he has offered little in two runs in this sphere, eighth of 10 in novice over C&D 18 days ago. Others appeal more. |

1st (11)  (20/1 +39%)Fenney Brook |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Fenney Brook 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who is bred to have ability but hasn't shown much yet. | |||
2nd (10)  (3.5/1 -5%)The Wild Wild Sea |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Wild Wild Sea 3.5/1, Returned from 4 months off with an improved display to land a 14-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell last month. Still potentially well treated on bumper form, but profile is a bit iffy. | |||
3rd (6)  (10/1 -67%)Kilchreest Moon |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kilchreest Moon 10/1, Modest hurdler who was all out to make all at Stratford when last seen 6 months ago. More required now, and might need this return. | |||
4th (4)  (2/1 +33%)Mr Yeats |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mr Yeats 2/1, Thrived towards the end of last year and returned to action with an excellent second at Plumpton 3 weeks ago. Can generally be relied upon and this is a weak race, so could take the beating. | |||
5th (2)  (8.5/1 +15%)Beau Haze |
8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Beau Haze 8.5/1, Consistent type who scored at Chepstow in MArch and wasn't discredited when fourth there last time. Should give another good account. | |||
6th (13)  (11/1 +31%)Bizerta |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Bizerta 11/1, Poor maiden hurdler who failed to make an impact at Southwell last time. Others make more appeal. | |||
7th (7)  (33/1 +34%)Spiritus Mundi |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Spiritus Mundi 33/1, Modest hurdler who might lacks consistency and wasn't at his best when only seventh at Hereford 70 days ago. Others make more appeal. | |||
8th (8)  (11/1 +45%)Charming Getaway |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Charming Getaway 11/1, Well held in 3 quick runs in 2m maiden/novice hurdles and was unable to up his game on handicap debut at Huntingdon. This longer trip should help. | |||
9th (12)  (11/1 -22%)Anuas Ar An Bpost |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Anuas Ar An Bpost 11/1, Modest maiden handicap hurdler in Ireland. Ran his best race for this yard when third over fences at Wincanton in March but unable to complete on both subsequent starts. Return to this sphere could help. | |||
10th (5)  (10/1 -33%)Brandy Cove |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Brandy Cove 10/1, Fair start to hurdles career when second in a four-runner Hereford novice in October and, while he's yet to build on it, he's dangerous to dismiss with his stable in rude health. | |||
11th (3)  (66/1 -164%)Call Blue |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Call Blue 66/1, Has hinted at ability but, upped markedly in trip for her handicap debut, she folded pretty tamely at Hereford last month, so has a bit to prove on the back of that. | |||
12th (1)  (66/1 -450%)Running Cloud |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Running Cloud 66/1, Just modest form in a couple of outings over hurdles for Alan King back in 2018/19 and, while he's fair on the Flat, he wasn't at his best in that sphere last time. |

1st (3)  (4/1 -33%)Ultimate Getaway |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ultimate Getaway 4/1, Dual bumper winner who developed into a fair hurdler last summer. Plenty to find on hurdles form but should make a chaser (placed in a point) and not taken lightly with doubts surrounding his 2 rivals. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.5/1 -20%)Eminent Poet |
1.5/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eminent Poet 1.5/1, Useful staying hurdler who goes well in the mud. Showed he retains most of his ability after 27 months off when fourth at Exeter in February, though he did have the run of the race. Makes chase debut. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.1/1 +37%)Balko Saint |
1.1/1(+37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balko Saint 1.1/1, Mixed record over hurdles last season but did win a small-field Kempton listed novice in October. Well held sole chase start in France in September but shaped as if needing the run that day. Stamina to prove (significantly up in trip). |

1st (4)  (1.62/1 +60%)Sofia's Rock |
1.62/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sofia's Rock 1.62/1, Took advantage of a drop to selling company at Stratford in March and runner-up in 2m Kempton handicap off this mark since. Player if showing up in similar form. | |||
2nd (5)  (3.5/1 -40%)Coolnaugh Haze |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coolnaugh Haze 3.5/1, Promise when second on sole Flat start and has gone the right way over hurdles for this yard since, winning a Plumpton maiden in January and Huntingdon handicap in April (both 2m). 8 lb rise demands more but has the potential for better. | |||
3rd (1)  (3/1 -20%)Just The Man |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Just The Man 3/1, Likeable type who was back to winning ways in smooth style over C&D in March. Creditable second in a novice here 18 days ago. Mark not obviously generous now but he should give another good account. | |||
4th (6)  (25/1 -56%)Inn The Bull |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Inn The Bull 25/1, Well behind the reopposing Sofia's Rock back hurdling at Kempton 25 days ago. Eased another 4 lb since but he's hard to fancy after that run. | |||
5th (7)  (5.5/1 +31%)Aliomaana |
5.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Aliomaana 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways after 3 months off when making all in 15-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton in March. Below that level in a couple of handicaps since, although she did move well for a long way at Cheltenham (17f) last time and this return to a sharper track will suit. Considered. | |||
6th (2)  (22/1 -83%)Peaked Too Soon |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peaked Too Soon 22/1, Won first 2 hurdles last summer. Last 2 efforts have been disappointing, although he might have needed it back from a break at Cheltenham last month. | |||
7th (3)  (16/1 -129%)Chasamax |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chasamax 16/1, Bagged a maiden and novice event at this sort of trip last June. Not in the same form when only fourth of 5 in a Bangor handicap last August and not seen since. |

1st (3)  (5.5/1 +21%)Reine Fee |
5.5/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Reine Fee 5.5/1, Made frame on each of her last 3 starts, including in better race than she need contest at Haydock last month. On a winless run of 22 but can give another good account. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 +12%)Astra Via |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Astra Via 7.5/1, Produced a career-best to score at Leicester in March and was unsuited by the drop to 17f when mid-field at Sedgefield last time. Substance of her last win looks questionable and bit of improvement likely needed. | |||
3rd (5)  (5.5/1 -22%)Stamina Chope |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Stamina Chope 5.5/1, Capitalised on falling mark to get off the mark for this yard at Sedgefield last time, very much aided by the way the race developed. Up 3 lb and still well treated on Irish form, but this is likely to take more winning. | |||
4th (2)  (1.62/1 +68%)Lost In Montmartre |
1.62/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lost In Montmartre 1.62/1, Well suited by quick ground when winning at Hereford in October and wasn't disgraced behind a classier rival there last time. Returns after winter break and may have more to come as a chaser. | |||
5th (1)  (2.5/1 -108%)Barden Bella |
2.5/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barden Bella 2.5/1, Productive last season, winning 3 times and filling the runner-up spot on same number of occasions, including at Cheltenham (26f) last month. Equally as good over this shorter trip and another bold show likely in first-time cheekpieces. |

1st (2)  (1.5/1 +63%)Gris Majeur |
1.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gris Majeur 1.5/1, Bumper winner who proved a different proposition on third start over hurdles when landing 5-runner novice (10/1) at Hereford (21.7f, good), suited by increase in trip. Stiff task at Cheltenham since but this much more realistic. | |||
2nd (6)  (0.91/1 +64%)Tikitov |
0.91/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tikitov 0.91/1, Pulled up in points but has made a sound start under Rules, only just denied at this C&D 7 weeks ago. Should go well again. | |||
3rd (4)  (6/1 +25%)Kabrit |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kabrit 6/1, Improved for the switch to fences last summer, winning a couple of handicaps. Might need this back over hurdles after 8 months off. | |||
4th (3)  (66/1 +67%)Dreams Of Gold |
66/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dreams Of Gold 66/1, Pulled up in novice/maiden hurdle 3 months apart. Blinkered for 1st time. | |||
|PU| (5)  (50/1 +67%)Minella Zoom |
50/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Minella Zoom 50/1, Made the frame in a point but showed nothing on Rules debut. |

2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) You Name Him 2.25/1, Fair hurdler who took a firm step back in the right direction when third at Uttoxeter 8 days ago. Handicapped to win if he can build on that encouragement, so warrants strong consideration. | |||
2nd (9)  (16/1 +52%)Letter At Dawn |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Letter At Dawn 16/1, Maiden who continues to show little over hurdles. Steps up in distance. | |||
3rd (5)  (14/1 -17%)Akentrick |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Akentrick 14/1, Modest maiden hurdler who has been struggling for form lately, so needs cheekpieces to perk him up. | |||
4th (6)  (33/1 -175%)Tom O'roughley |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tom O'roughley 33/1, Maiden hurdler for Alastair Ralph and produced a lacklustre display in a handicap chase on stable debut 3 weeks ago. Others preferred. | |||
|F| (1)  (1.75/1 -7%)Groom D'Oudairies |
1.75/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Groom D'Oudairies 1.75/1, Improved when placed in handicaps at Ludlow (21f) and Taunton (19f) and still looked in form (took strong hold under an amateur) at Ayr last month. Fancied to open his account. | |||
|PU| (3)  (6.5/1 -18%)Braganza Bay |
6.5/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Braganza Bay 6.5/1, Has been unable to kick on from an eye-catching hurdling debut, pulled up at Uttoxeter 8 days ago. Questions to answer now, but could be the type to respond well to blinkers. | |||
|PU| (8)  (7/1 +65%)Meechlands Magic |
7/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Meechlands Magic 7/1, Showed ability in bumpers and, while yet to replicate that over hurdles, he might do better now handicapping from a lowly mark. | |||
|PU| (2)  (22/1 -120%)Fantomas |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fantomas 22/1, Fair in bumpers but patchy form over jumps and back in this sphere following a break after 2 poor runs over fences. Quick ground should suit and the handicapper has given him a chance. | |||
|PU| (7)  (33/1 -106%)Rose Kar |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rose Kar 33/1, Well held in bumpers and yet to feature over hurdles. With a shrewd stable and he's up in trip with cheekpieces applied for this handicap debut (has also been off 172 days), so could prove a different proposition. |

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.
