1st (8)  (8/1 -45%)Racy Lacey |
8/1(-45%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Racy Lacey 8/1, Half-sister to modest hurdler Lace Bonnet (2m winner). Fair maiden on Flat, stays 1¾m, respectable effort in handicap last time for Ger Lyons. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.25/1 +44%)Joyful Kit |
2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Joyful Kit 2.25/1, Modest form in bumpers in Ireland and has only reached a similar level over hurdles for current stable. Failed to land the odds at Plumpton last month but cheekpieces now and she really should be a factor. | |||
3rd (4)  (3/1 -20%)Miss Chantelle |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miss Chantelle 3/1, Left bumper form behind when third of 7 starting out over hurdles at Kempton last month. Winner successful since so a repeat of that level will see her involved. | |||

3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chocca Mocha 3.5/1, Dam, bumper/17f hurdle winner, out of smart 2m-21f hurdle winner Chomba Womba. Mid-field in a bumper at Newcastle on last month's debut and starts out in an ordinary race over hurdles. | |||
5th (2)  (50/1 +38%)Inajiffy |
50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Inajiffy 50/1, Showed nothing for George Bewley in 2017 and similar story for Dianne Sayer the following year. Hood fitted. | |||

|PU| (5)  (200/1 -33%)Outofthegloom |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Outofthegloom 200/1, Has looked limited in various company. |

1st (4)  (2.2/1 +27%)Let's Have Another |
2.2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Let's Have Another 2.2/1, Showed promise when third in sole bumper start and similar story in this sphere, very much catching the eye on handicap bow when ninth at Huntingdon over this trip a couple of months ago (finished full of running having been steadied into 3 out and 2 out). Major player back in maiden company. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.62/1 +41%)Dusky Days |
1.62/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dusky Days 1.62/1, Fairly useful at best in bumpers but ran to only a modest level on hurdling debut at Fontwell 4 weeks ago. Up in trip with more needed. | |||
3rd (1)  (2.75/1 +31%)Dehradun |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dehradun 2.75/1, Well held sole Flat outing in 2018 but returned from a long time off to show a fair level of ability over hurdles in early-2020. Well worth a look up in trip despite another lengthy absence. | |||
4th (5)  (7.5/1 -7%)Uranus Des Bordes |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Uranus Des Bordes 7.5/1, Promise amidst inexperience when second at Huntingdon on debut but well held a month on at Fontwell. Up in trip. | |||

50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grand Mario 50/1, Little impact in bumpers. Tongue tie on for hurdles debut up in trip. |

1st (4)  (0.73/1 +12%)Thirtyfourstitches |
0.73/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Thirtyfourstitches 0.73/1, Likeable front-runner who has already notched 6 wins this season, including a career-best victory here (23f) 18 days ago. Up another 5 lb but this thriving sort looks the one to beat again. | |||
2nd (2)  (8.5/1 +29%)Gloire D'athon |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gloire D'athon 8.5/1, Won a maiden hurdle for Henry de Bromhead in July but has gone with little promise in 2 starts for this yard. Something to prove at present. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.62/1 +46%)Mega Yeats |
1.62/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mega Yeats 1.62/1, Well-treated on best form but hasn't stood much racing since winning here for Ruth Jefferson in 2019. Promising recent return at Ayr, but she wouldn't be fully guaranteed to build on that. | |||
4th (5)  (50/1 -43%)Simply Loveleh |
50/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Simply Loveleh 50/1, Disappointing since scoring for Dan Skelton at Aintree in May, well held on sole start for this yard back in November. Hard to make a case for. |

2.5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lucky Flight 2.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win but has been holding his form well this season, despite not always finding much for pressure. Second of 3 in handicap at Kelso (17.1f) last time and can go one better. | |||
2nd (6)  (25/1 +38%)Rann Of Kutch |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rann Of Kutch 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler who ran to a similar level when fourth in handicaps on her first 2 starts over fences in March last year. Beaten a long way when last seen 12 months ago. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.62/1 -8%)Blueberry Wine |
1.62/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blueberry Wine 1.62/1, Off mark over fences at second attempt after 10 weeks off/wind op at Sedgefield (17f) on Boxing Day. Didn't need to improve to get back to winning ways at same course (19.3f) last time. Respected. | |||
4th (4)  (3.33/1 +5%)High Noon |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) High Noon 3.33/1, Scored twice in handicaps here (up to 21.4f) last summer but has been below form on his last 3 starts. Off 6 months but interesting back at this course with stable going well. | |||
5th (1)  (7.5/1 +17%)Faro |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Faro 7.5/1, Won twice over hurdles in France but offered little encouragement in a Doncaster handicap hurdle on return from a long absence for new yard in March. Fared no better back over fences last time. | |||
6th (5)  (14/1 +65%)Fair To Dream |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fair To Dream 14/1, Poor hurdler/chaser who finished well held on return from 10-month absence over hurdles at Hereford. No better in cheekpieces returned to chasing both starts since. |

1st (2)  (1.38/1 +39%)Give Me A Moment |
1.38/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Give Me A Moment 1.38/1, Off the mark at third attempt for this yard at Catterick in November and resumed progress to win last 2 starts at Stratford and Fontwell, making all and jumping well. Must be respected despite revised mark (12 lb higher). | |||
2nd (4)  (2/1 -100%)Clear The Runway |
2/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Clear The Runway 2/1, Landed a gamble in good style on chase debut at Musselburgh (20.3f). Unlucky not to follow up over the same C&D (would've won but for a mistake 2 out) but made amends in good style at Southwell, leaving the impression he has more to come still. | |||
3rd (1)  (4/1 +43%)Mick Maestro |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mick Maestro 4/1, Useful hurdler, recording back-to-back wins at Catterick this winter. Found the Imperial Cup at Sandown too competitive last time and facing no easy task on belated chase bow. | |||
4th (3)  (7/1 +0%)Golden Taipan |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Golden Taipan 7/1, Multiple hurdles winner who finally got off the mark over fences in a 4-runner Ludlow handicap in October. Wasn't beaten far off this revised mark at Wincanton next time but let down by jumping when a remote second at former track when last seen in December. |

1st (4)  (3/1 +14%)The Bogmans Ball |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Bogmans Ball 3/1, Well-related 5yo who didn't come up to expectations when fifth of 16 in Exeter bumper 4 months ago. Likely to show more with the benefit of experience. | |||
2nd (5)  (9/1 +55%)The Plumber |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Plumber 9/1, Shirocco gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful 2¼m hurdle winner Glan. Unplaced completed start in Irish points (Nov 14). Others make more appeal. | |||
3rd (6)  (3.5/1 +13%)Whodini |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Whodini 3.5/1, Every chance when short of room and ran out before last sole outing in Irish points. Subsequently changed hands for £60,000 and showed something when fourth at Stratford on Rules bow. Considered. | |||
4th (3)  (1.38/1 +15%)Mount South |
1.38/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mount South 1.38/1, Promising third on debut at Navan then, having switched stables, filled the same position at Fontwell 49 days ago. Sets the standard, and may well open his account at the third attempt. | |||
5th (1)  (25/1 +0%)Bai D'opale |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bai D'opale 25/1, Fourth on his completed start in Irish points (May 2021) but only seventh in a bumper at Warwick on first Rules outing. Hard to envisage him getting involved. | |||
6th (7)  (10/1 +17%)Switch Partner |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Switch Partner 10/1, Promising start when second of 8 over C&D last September. Tailed off in better race at Aintree the following month but could get back on track after almost 6 months off. |

1st (5)  (7/1 -56%)Railway Muice |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Railway Muice 7/1, Completed a 4-timer (last 3 wins for this yard) at Huntingdon in October, but his form dipped at the end of 2021. Needs to have been refreshed by a 145-day break. | |||
2nd (6)  (10/1 +60%)The Very Thing |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Very Thing 10/1, Scored over fences at Catterick in January but well held twice (back hurdling latterly) and he's 10 lb out of the handicap here. | |||
3rd (3)  (14/1 +36%)Paris Texas |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Paris Texas 14/1, Well beaten in a pair of 3m handicap chases for his new stable in recent months. Can only be watched for now. Has a first-time tongue strap added to his usual hood. | |||
4th (1)  (2.25/1 -29%)Smuggler's Blues |
2.25/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Smuggler's Blues 2.25/1, Had cheekpieces on first time when snapping a losing run at Warwick in January. Ran poorly next time but back on track when only just edged out in Wincanton veteran's event 4 weeks ago. Player | |||
5th (2)  (2.75/1 +45%)Sir Jack Yeats |
2.75/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sir Jack Yeats 2.75/1, Fairly useful chaser but below par in 3 runs this season. Mark on the slide as a result and certainly wouldn't be a shock to see him revive. Needs keeping an eye on in the betting. | |||
6th (7)  (80/1 +20%)L'es Fremantle |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) L'es Fremantle 80/1, Decidedly limited sort who hasn't won since 2018. 23 lb out of the handicap. | |||
|U| (4)  (3/1 -50%)Dragonfruit |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dragonfruit 3/1, Doubled his chase tally at Bangor (3m) on return and backed it up with a creditable second at Ayr. Not so good since but his stamina may have been stretched over a longer trip at Haydock last time and he's back on a favourable mark. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

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.
