Bashful

12/1(-60%)
(7) Bashful 12/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Andrew Balding, but hasn't made much impression in 3 starts over hurdles so far. Tongue strap on 1st time as he makes handicap hurdle debut. Unexposed so could do better.

Infiniti

40/1(+39%)
(15) Infiniti 40/1, Placed at this course/Leicester on her final 2 starts for Barry Leavy but has gone with no promise for this yard, reapplication of blinkers failing to spark her up at Sedgefield last month. Easy to look elsewhere.
2
2nd (9) High Grounds (8/1 +0%)
High Grounds

8/1(+0%)
(9) High Grounds 8/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who left previous hurdle form behind when scoring in first-time tongue strap at this track (23.1f) in December. Not so good since, but did take a step back in the right direction when sixth at Warwick in February (lost a shoe). May well feature back at this venue.

Methusalar

9/1(-29%)
(2) Methusalar 9/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who bounced back to form after 4 months off when third at Chepstow last month, proving his stamina for the trip in the process. Nudged up 1 lb and there's a slight concern whether he'll be able to hold things together.
4
4th (1) Benito (1.75/1 -7%)
Benito

1.75/1(-7%)
(1) Benito 1.75/1, Failed to meet expectations when well backed at Warwick on New Year's Eve but improved to get off the mark after 3 months off at Chepstow last time, his strength at the finish suggesting it'll hardly be surprising if he does better again. Up 11 lb and should be bang there.
5th
5th (8) Fine By Her (10/1 +50%)
Fine By Her

10/1(+50%)
(8) Fine By Her 10/1, Still a maiden, and below-form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f) just under 6 weeks ago. Others more persuasive.

6th (7) Mackie Dee (22/1 -10%)
Mackie Dee

22/1(-10%)
(7) Mackie Dee 22/1, Hit-and-miss since scoring over fences at Huntingdon in November 2020 and, while he returned to the smaller obstacles with a good second in a seller at Exeter recently, he's not certain to back it up.
7th
7th (10) Misscarlett (20/1 -25%)
Misscarlett

20/1(-25%)
(10) Misscarlett 20/1, Has recorded two wins in mares' handicaps this season, the latest coming at this track (23f) in November. Below form in 4 starts since though, including on the Flat on the second occasion.
8th
8th (11) Goldrapper (8/1 +60%)
Goldrapper

8/1(+60%)
(11) Goldrapper 8/1, Yet to register a victory and recent efforts hardly offer much encouragement that that is about to change. Mark continues to fall as a result.

Do No Wrong

11/1(-22%)
(4) Do No Wrong 11/1, Off the mark at fourth attempt over timber on handicap debut at Sedgefield in September. However, both subsequent efforts were underwhelming so a leap of faith is required to support him on reappearance.
10th
10th (3) Pateen (12/1 +0%)
Pateen

12/1(+0%)
(3) Pateen 12/1, Successful twice over hurdles upon joining present stable, latterly at Cartmel in July. Returned to form with cheekpieces refitted when third at Newcastle last month but stamina concerns remain kept to this trip.
11th
11th (6) Forever Forward (28/1 -250%)
Forever Forward

28/1(-250%)
(6) Forever Forward 28/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat but has offered little in a trio of starts over hurdles, latest at Bangor back in November. Yard are in better order and he should make more of an impact now handicapping. Visor applied and has been gelded since last seen.
12th
12th (13) Mawlood (33/1 -83%)
Mawlood

33/1(-83%)
(13) Mawlood 33/1, Dual hurdles winner who failed to progress over fences for Phil Middleton. Offered little on first start for his new yard after an absence at Southwell a fortnight ago and needs the reapplied cheekpieces to work miracles.

13th (16) Crakehall Lad (125/1 -89%)
Crakehall Lad

125/1(-89%)
(16) Crakehall Lad 125/1, Without a win since 2016 and her last effort at Carlisle back in October hardly signified that any promise was around the corner. Easy to look elsewhere on reappearance.

Penpal

7.5/1(+17%)
(14) Penpal 7.5/1, French claiming winner has largely struggled since joining this yard, though wasn't disgraced when a well-beaten third at Sedgefield last month. Mark continues to tumble and yard have been among the winners recently.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
