5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Belvedere Blast 5/1, Modest at best on the Flat but better over hurdles, finishing second here before going one better at Hexham (2½m) 27 days ago. | |||

1st (1)  (2.25/1 +50%)Ask Paddington |
2.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ask Paddington 2.25/1, 8-y-o who arrives on a roll, running right up to his best when completing hat-trick over extended 20f here 2 weeks ago, closed down only late on. Well worth a look from 4 lb higher in bid to land 4-timer. | |||
2nd (3)  (4.5/1 -35%)Galileo Silver |
4.5/1(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Galileo Silver 4.5/1, Dual chase winner in December who cemented positive start returned to timber when successful at Ffos Las (23.8f) last month, by 1 length from Jersey Wonder. Possibilities with visor replacing cheekpieces now. | |||
3rd (6)  (4.5/1 +50%)Giovanni Change |
4.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Giovanni Change 4.5/1, Front-runner who returned to form when fourth in a C&D event in May but disappointed when pulled up in this sphere at Cartmel later that month and he never figured back on Flat at Doncaster (16.5f) at the start of the month. Others arrive with more pressing claims. | |||
4th (7)  (8.5/1 -13%)Could Be Trouble |
8.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Could Be Trouble 8.5/1, Consistent 4-time winner over hurdles who opened chase account in a Warwick mares' novice (20f) in May. Not convinced in jumping department either outing since but she's no forlorn hope returned to smaller obstacles given she's unexposed at the trip. | |||
5th (4)  (6/1 -9%)Jersey Wonder |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jersey Wonder 6/1, Cashed in on a falling mark to land 3-runner Fontwell handicap (25.7f) in May and found only Galileo Silver too good at Ffos Las (23.8f) in June. 2 lb better off with that rival now. Should continue in form. | |||
6th (2)  (10/1 -43%)Romain De Senam |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Romain De Senam 10/1, Smart chaser at best who opened his account for this yard at Newton Abbot in May and was just touched off by a progressive course specialist at Cartmel next time. Went well for a long way in Summer Cup at Uttoxeter and lower mark to operate from back over timber. | |||
7th (5)  (7/1 -75%)Apache Creek |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Apache Creek 7/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who resumed progress in line with step up in trip on the back of 5 months off to score at Warwick (25f) in May. leading narrowly when left clear last. Only 4 lb higher now and that may not be his limit at this sort of trip. |

1st (3)  (22/1 -57%)Pisgah Pike |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pisgah Pike 22/1, Promising hurdler in 2020 and scored twice switched to fences last year. Beaten a long way out back from eight months off in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot, but looked rusty that day and better expected off an attractive mark back in this sphere with cheekpieces enlisted. | |||
2nd (10)  (12/1 -20%)Castel Gandolfo |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Castel Gandolfo 12/1, Got back on track in blinkers when second of 11 at Haydock in April. Mistakes proved costly when fourth in a six-runner Kelso handicap (16.2f, good to firm) next time and will need to jump more fluently if he's to play a leading role here. | |||
3rd (1)  (10/1 +9%)Wolf Prince |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wolf Prince 10/1, Returned to form when second in a decent Punchestown contest (19.8f, good) on final start for Gavin Cromwell in May. However, on a stiff-looking mark starting out for new yard here and Castel Gandolfo appears to be the stable first-string. | |||
4th (9)  (5/1 +0%)Galata Bridge |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Galata Bridge 5/1, Has returned from a break in good order, third at Warwick prior to scoring in emphatic fashion at Huntingdon (15.8f, good). Up 12 lb for that, but he was useful on the Flat and could easily have more to offer in this sphere. | |||
5th (8)  (2.5/1 +9%)Cirque Royal |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cirque Royal 2.5/1, Useful Flat performer who opened hurdles account at Perth in May. Duly followed up in a Kelso novice (16.2f, good to firm) later that month and, with further progress likely now that he makes the switch to handicap company, a bold show is on the cards. | |||
6th (5)  (9/1 +25%)Hisnameis Mrdevitt |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hisnameis Mrdevitt 9/1, Irish raiderwho acquitted himself well on first two handicap starts in this sphere prior to hitting the crossbar in a maiden at Roscommon (15.4f, good) recently. Likely to get his head in front sooner rather than later, but may find this too competitive. | |||
7th (11)  (6.5/1 +24%)Caramelised |
6.5/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Caramelised 6.5/1, Took well to hurdles last year, scoring twice at Stratford. Found Grade 2 company too hot on latest start in this sphere, but this is more realistic and confirmed wellbeing by scoring on the Flat last month. High on the shortlist. | |||
8th (6)  (8.5/1 +23%)Hurricane Ali |
8.5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hurricane Ali 8.5/1, Enhanced good strike rate over hurdles with victories at Bangor and Aintree before finishing a solid third off this mark Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Not without each-way hope, but needs a career-best if he's to bag this prize. | |||
9th (2)  (18/1 -13%)Gaelik Coast |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gaelik Coast 18/1, Useful winning chaser who made it 3-5 in this sphere when landing a six-runner handicap at Worcester (2½m, good to soft) last month. Needs a new personal best up 6 lb in this stronger race, though. | |||
|F| (4)  (10/1 +29%)Ingleby Hollow |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ingleby Hollow 10/1, Notched third hurdles success at Doncaster in November and decent efforts in defeat since, including when fifth of 13 in a competitive Cartmel handicap (17.2f, good to soft) last time. Remains on a fair mark and he's not discounted. | |||
10th (7)  (40/1 -150%)Toronto |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Toronto 40/1, Fairly useful at best on the Flat and made it two wins from four hurdles starts when getting the better of subsequent scorer Tardree in a Stratford novice (16.3f, good to soft) last time. Much more on his plate on handicap debut in this sphere. |

1st (3)  (5/1 +9%)Francky Du Berlais |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Francky Du Berlais 5/1, Bagged this prize off 2 lb lower 12 months ago and added to his tally at Uttoxeter in April. Not disgraced back at that course last time and likely he has been primed for another bold show in this valuable contest. | |||
2nd (12)  (8/1 -7%)La Domaniale |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) La Domaniale 8/1, Fair hurdler who has improved immediately for switch to fences. Produced a good round of jumping when accounting for her two rivals in good style at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) recently and there should be better to come from this 5-y-o. | |||
3rd (13)  (10/1 +17%)Statuario |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Statuario 10/1, Has found just one too good on each of his three starts since returning from a break in April, most recently chasing home Mahler's Promise over this C&D. However, good deal more needed if he's to resume winning ways. | |||
4th (5)  (28/1 -12%)Rapid Response |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rapid Response 28/1, Useful chaser in Ireland when on-song, but more miss than hit since landing a mares' handicap chase at Punchestown last spring and others make more appeal here. | |||
5th (2)  (25/1 -25%)Peregrine Run |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peregrine Run 25/1, Smashing campaigner who added to his tally on the Flat last summer. Has performed with credit in handicaps at Ballinrobe at Cartmel back in this sphere the last twice, but looks vulnerable for win purposes here. | |||
6th (4)  (6.5/1 +13%)Manofthemountain |
6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Manofthemountain 6.5/1, Below par during the spring, but returned from a break/wind op with a solid effort at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) where he found just one too good in a competitive handicap. Solid each-way chance. | |||
7th (1)  (16/1 +0%)Light N Strike |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Light N Strike 16/1, Decisive winner of two of his three starts since returning from a break. 7 lb rise for latest success at Stratford (19.4f, good to soft) doesn't look excessive, but this is a much deeper race. | |||
8th (14)  (10/1 +0%)Rostello |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Rostello 10/1, Dual winner over fences last term and did the job in fine style at Stratford (22.6f, good) last weekend. That performance was on par with the pick of his French efforts and he has to enter calculations under a penalty. | |||
9th (9)  (5.5/1 +27%)Texard |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Texard 5.5/1, Successful four times over fences in France and has sprouted wings for present connections the last twice. Dominant from the front at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) on Wednesday and merits serious consideration under a penalty. | |||
|F| (8)  (22/1 +0%)Tardree |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tardree 22/1, Wide-margin winner of a four-runner handicap chase over 19f on latest visit here last summer. In good form over hurdles since returning from a break, but on a tough-looking mark back in this sphere. | |||
|U| (10)  (7.5/1 +6%)Mahler's Promise |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mahler's Promise 7.5/1, Won at Newton Abbot last summer and deservedly doubled his tally in this sphere with a career-best performance over C&D 29 days ago. This is more demanding up 5 lb, but should give a good account all the same. | |||
|PU| (6)  (7/1 -27%)Mortlach |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mortlach 7/1, Warwick maiden hurdle winner in April and has taken very well to fences, making it 3-3 in this sphere at Aintree (19.9f, good) last month. 6 lb rise for that is fair enough and he remains open to improvement as a chaser. | |||
|PU| (7)  (25/1 +0%)Al Roc |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Al Roc 25/1, Kept busy and a real success story over fences this year, recording win number four in dominant fashion over this C&D on penultimate start. Below par back hurdling at Newton Abbot recently, though, and he may find this too competitive. | |||
|PU| (11)  (33/1 +0%)Licklighter |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Licklighter 33/1, Four-time chase winner, the latest a Perth handicap last June. Off the mark at the twenty-third attempt over hurdles when running away with a 2f novice here last month, but much more on his plate back in this sphere. |

(3)  (3/1 -9%)Stoner's Choice |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stoner's Choice 3/1, Useful hurdler. Winning start over fences in a match race at Kempton (20.5f) in May but let down by his jumping in a more competitive race at Perth since. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue strap. | |||
1st (1)  (0.67/1 +44%)Hang In There |
0.67/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hang In There 0.67/1, Smart hurdler who won has made a good start over fences this summer, winning 2½m novices at Uttoxeter (beat Cary's Commodity) and Worcester. Taken to give the weight away and complete the hat-trick. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 +6%)Shetland Bus |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shetland Bus 7.5/1, Completed hat-trick over hurdles at Perth last summer for Justin Landy but has looked a long way off that form in 4 outings over fences for this yard, falling heavily at Fakenham latest. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.75/1 +36%)Carys' Commodity |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Carys' Commodity 1.75/1, Useful hurdler and translated all that ability to fences in recent months, 5 lengths second to Hang In There at Uttoxeter before going one better at Stratford. Meets Emma Lavelle's charge on 5 lb better terms now so it should be closer between them this time. |

0.91/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Getaway Jewel 0.91/1, Finally got off the mark as a chaser in 9-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good, 9/1) 13 days ago, helped by the way things developed. This looks another good opportunity. | |||
2nd (2)  (3/1 +25%)Go As You Please |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Go As You Please 3/1, Tricky sort who failed to build on previous promise when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 52 days ago, but he's now 4 lb below last winning mark at least. | |||
|PU| (1)  (2.25/1 +36%)Any Givin Sunday |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Any Givin Sunday 2.25/1, Bumper winner in Ireland who made a successful start over hurdles for new yard in Huntingdon novice (15.8f). Not in the same form next 3 starts, though, including when failing to meet expectations on chase/handicap bow here on return in May. |

1st (6)  (3/1 -33%)Karannelle |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Karannelle 3/1, Ended a long losing run when landing a 7-runner event at Newton Abbot in comfortable fashion 5 days ago. Should go well again if handling the quick turnaround. | |||
2nd (5)  (6.5/1 +59%)Soldier On Parade |
6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Soldier On Parade 6.5/1, Front runner who bagged 3 juvenile events here in 2020. Mixed bag since, not really firing on the Flat the last twice, but obviously well suited by this track. | |||
3rd (1)  (20/1 -67%)Nebuchadnezzar |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Nebuchadnezzar 20/1, Off the mark in a weak handicap chase at Wincanton in February but disappointed at Stratford next time. Has left Alan King (off 4 months) since, and his hurdling record is a mixed bag. | |||
4th (4)  (3/1 +0%)Kayfast Warrior |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kayfast Warrior 3/1, 10/3, career best when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 16 days ago, kept up to work. Had something to spare and should put up another bod bid after a small rise. | |||
5th (7)  (9/1 +25%)Major Snugfit |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Major Snugfit 9/1, Back to winning ways in Hexham conditional jockeys' in June and may well have found the race coming too soon at Uttoxeter a week later. Not one to discount. | |||
6th (8)  (4.5/1 -64%)Mi Laddo |
4.5/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mi Laddo 4.5/1, Poor handicap hurdler but on a fair mark and shaped better than the result (poorly placed) when fourth at Uttoxeter 11 days ago. Can build on that if the pace is solid. | |||
7th (2)  (10/1 +17%)Sid Hoodie |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sid Hoodie 10/1, Fair hurdler who is hard to catch right but shaped as if better for the run in a handicap at Worcester on return. Not completely discounted from reduced mark. | |||
8th (3)  (9/1 +25%)Ceolwulf |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ceolwulf 9/1, Fair form in bumpers and positive first go hurdling when second at Sedgefield in February. Disappointing at Carlisle next time but still early days and he's been given a 4-month break since. |

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.
