1st (3)  (1/1 +47%)Presuming Ed |
1/1(+47%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Presuming Ed 1/1, Unreliable type who got off the mark at the 11th attempt returning to handicap company when making all here in November. Ran another good race at Leicester 4 weeks ago, and highly respected. | |||
2nd (5)  (25/1 +11%)Ensel Du Perche |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ensel Du Perche 25/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland but yet to figure in 3 starts for new stable and hard to make a case for. | |||
3rd (4)  (6/1 +29%)The Raven's Return |
6/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Raven's Return 6/1, Fair hurdler who took a step back in the right direction on first outing for this yard when third in a handicap here in August. Below par all 3 starts since though, so needs to bounce back. | |||
4th (1)  (10/1 -67%)The Twisler |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Twisler 10/1, Dual winner last term but has offered little this year, either on the Flat or over hurdles. Hopes pinned on first-time visor sparking a revival. | |||
5th (6)  (3.5/1 +7%)Trusty Scout |
3.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Trusty Scout 3.5/1, Fair on Flat for David O'Meara but made mistakes when down the field on hurdling debut last month and similar story at Leicester 8 days later. Worth a second look on handicap debut all the same. | |||
6th (7)  (50/1 +0%)Fast Deal |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fast Deal 50/1, Poor maiden hurdler who has offered little in recent starts. Well out of the handicap again and faces another struggle. | |||

(6)  ( )Duke Of Rockingham |
() | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Duke Of Rockingham , Kayf Tara gelding who landed a bumper at Uttoxeter and was unfortunate not to make a winning start over hurdles when a fast-finishing second at Lingfield a month ago. Can make amends. | |||
1st (1)  (2.25/1 -29%)Lydford |
2.25/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lydford 2.25/1, Useful 12f handicapper on Flat for Roger Varian and built on promising hurdling bow when comfortably off the mark at Southwell 26 days ago. Type to do better still, so respected despite the penalty. | |||
2nd (4)  (0.57/1 +77%)Charlie's Glance |
0.57/1(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Charlie's Glance 0.57/1, Well-related Newbury bumper winner who shaped with encouragement amidst inexperience when making his seasonal/hurdling debut in a novice there a month ago. Open to improvement. | |||
3rd (2)  (22/1 +27%)Algesiras |
22/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Algesiras 22/1, Half-brother to ungenuine but fairly useful hurdler Castletown. Held in a couple of races over hurdles (trained by Tom Lacey first time then sold cheaply) and hard to fancy. | |||
4th (9)  (12/1 +45%)Secret Trix |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Secret Trix 12/1, Bred more for stamina than speed and shaped in kind when third in a Fakenham bumper on debut. Similar story on hurdling bow at Uttoxeter recently, so unlikely to peak until tried over further. | |||
7th (8)  (50/1 +38%)Radetzky March |
50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Radetzky March 50/1, Showed some promise in a couple of spring bumpers but is yet to beat a rival over hurdles. | |||
8th (7)  (66/1 +18%)Noahthirtytwored |
66/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Noahthirtytwored 66/1, Yet to show any ability in various disciplines. |

1.2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tokay Dokey 1.2/1, Winner of sole bumper start and 2-3 over hurdles. Well held on chase debut back from a lengthy absence, but much better when second to Brave Seasca (winner again since) at Warwick (2m) 17 days ago. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 -25%)Generous Day |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Generous Day 7.5/1, Now 2 lb lower than for his clear-cut Hereford victory in February, but he hasn't fired in 3 starts so far this season and needs to bounce back in a significant way. | |||
3rd (5)  (3/1 +25%)First Angel |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) First Angel 3/1, Made the frame both starts in bumpers and improved with each of his 3 hurdles starts, most recently finishing second in 16.8f Sedgefield maiden. Possibilities if taking to fences at the first attempt. | |||
4th (3)  (12/1 -9%)Sambezi |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sambezi 12/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who landed a maiden hurdle at Fontwell in March. However, got no further than the first fence on debut in this sphere at Lingfield on penultimate start. | |||
5th (2)  (4/1 -45%)Fabrique En France |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fabrique En France 4/1, Fairly useful novice hurdler last term and, having undergone a second wind op, he made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up on return at Chepstow (2m). One to consider. |

2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bobhopeornohope 2.75/1, Low-mileage hurdler (successful twice) and took a step forward on the back of a wind op on chasing debut/return when finishing third at Exeter. However, failed to build on that at Sandown next time. | |||
2nd (1)  (3.33/1 -11%)Omar Maretti |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Omar Maretti 3.33/1, Dual winning pointer who is 2-2 under Rules following back-to-back hurdles victories at Catterick earlier this year. Likely capable of better still now sent chasing and he's a must for the shortlist. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.25/1 -29%)Seven No Trumps |
2.25/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Seven No Trumps 2.25/1, Promise in 3 starts hurdling and duly improved for the switch to fences when landing a 2½m Lingfield handicap chase in a first-time tongue strap last month. Up 9 lb, but likely he has more to offer. | |||
4th (7)  (6/1 +33%)Zyon |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Zyon 6/1, Fairly useful 21f winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls, but yet to threaten over fences, for all that he wasn't disgraced at Sandown last time. Others preferred. | |||
5th (6)  (12/1 +33%)French Paradoxe |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) French Paradoxe 12/1, Made it third time lucky over hurdles in a Newbury novice (20.5f) last December. However, well held in handicaps next 2 starts and needs to get back on track now making the switch to fences. | |||
|PU| (2)  (10/1 -43%)Fugitives Drift |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fugitives Drift 10/1, Useful hurdler who made a positive start over fences when making all in maiden at Cartmel in May. However, reappearance effort at Sandown was poor and he's opposable on the back of that. | |||
|PU| (4)  (50/1 -25%)Marajman |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Marajman 50/1, Ran right up to form when third in a Punchestown handicap hurdle on final start for Willie Mullins in October. However, below par both starts for new yard, beaten a long way on recent chase debut. |

22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Generator City 22/1, Ex-Irish winning chaser who took advantage of a drop in the weights to record a first win in Britain at Carlisle. Let down by jumping at Musselburgh but back on track when going close at Huntingdon. | |||
1st (1)  (4.5/1 -35%)Sidi Ismael |
4.5/1(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sidi Ismael 4.5/1, Won staying Kelso handicap hurdle for Keith Dalgleish in April and made it 2 from 2 for this yard on chase bow at Wetherby 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress up in trip. | |||

8.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cash To Ash 8.5/1, Notched second success over fences when landing 3m handicap at Ayr in March. Good runner-up efforts at Wetherby and Kelso this season and remains unexposed beyond 3m. | |||
3rd (7)  (16/1 -100%)Brother Pat |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Brother Pat 16/1, Has taken to fences extremely well, scoring for the fourth time when a wide-margin winner in 27f handicap chase at Sedgefield. In process of running well when falling 2 out at Southwell next time. | |||
4th (9)  (6.5/1 +13%)The Late Legend |
6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Late Legend 6.5/1, Five-time chase winner last term who had a couple of spins over hurdles this term and good second back over fences at Exeter last time. Likeable type and should go well again. | |||
5th (8)  (10/1 +17%)Who's In The Box |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Who's In The Box 10/1, Improved for a switch to fences last season, scoring in this race before backing it up with a couple of good seconds. Shaped well at Carlisle on return but flopped in headgear at Kelso next time. | |||
6th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Cobra De Mai |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cobra De Mai 12/1, It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2019 but placed on 2 of his last 3 starts, second of 9 in handicap chase (25/1) at Wetherby (24.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. | |||
|F| (3)  (2.5/1 +67%)Eclair Mag |
2.5/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eclair Mag 2.5/1, Ex-French recruit who sprung a surprise on British debut in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen. At least respectable efforts to end the campaign but below par both starts this term. | |||
|PU| (5)  (5.5/1 +0%)Powerstown Park |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Powerstown Park 5.5/1, Winning pointer who was expertly prepared to win 3 handicap hurdles in 8 days in March. Came good at the third attempt over fences at Hereford 2 weeks ago and can do better again. | |||
|PU| (2)  (33/1 -83%)Sharp Response |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sharp Response 33/1, Twice a winner in 2018/19 and all the better for following season's reappearance when second at Haydock. Surely needed the run after more than 2 years off there 25 days ago. |

1st (9)  (12/1 -41%)Russian Service |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Russian Service 12/1, Fair hurdler who put up another solid showing when third at Southwell a fortnight ago, only overhauled on the run-in. Likely to give another good account, but he has little in hand. | |||
2nd (1)  (10/1 -186%)Made For You |
10/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Made For You 10/1, Scored twice here last season and was back on the up when successful at Leicester a month ago. Late idling masked the amount in hand he had there, so should remain competitive after a small rise. | |||
3rd (2)  (40/1 -150%)Sayar |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sayar 40/1, Has never stood much racing and losing sequence dates back to 2017. Only sixth at Leicester on return, but should come on for the run. | |||
4th (3)  (10/1 +29%)Niblawi |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Niblawi 10/1, Hurdles winner who hasn't looked the force of old on the level for his present stable this year, but put up a respectable effort when fourth at Lingfield on return to this sphere 18 days ago. | |||
5th (5)  (3.33/1 +26%)Midnight Ginger |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Midnight Ginger 3.33/1, Lightly raced for current stable and put up a career-best effort when landing a handicap hurdle over 16.6f here earlier in the month. Solid claims if he's able to back that up. | |||
6th (6)  (10/1 -43%)Chuvelo |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chuvelo 10/1, Dual bumper winner who finally justified short odds over hurdles at Bangor in May. Jumping again let him down on handicap debut next time and he's been off for 6 months since. | |||
8th (4)  (1.62/1 +51%)Potenza |
1.62/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Potenza 1.62/1, Showed fair form in 2 hurdles outings earlier this year and has looked better than ever on the Flat since, so worth chancing back in this discipline from potentially lenient opening mark. | |||
9th (8)  (8/1 +0%)Master Blaze |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Master Blaze 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France who failed to come up to expectations when only sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster on debut for current yard. Dropped 3 lb and may come on for the run. |

(4)  (3/1 +0%)Son Of The Somme |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Son Of The Somme 3/1, Improved plenty on handicap debut at Doncaster last month, just failing to reel in a well-ridden front runner, but pulled miles clear of the remainder. 6 lb higher now, but has more to offer. Player. | |||
(3)  (12/1 +25%)I Will Follow Her |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) I Will Follow Her 12/1, Best form came when runner-up on debut, but failed to stay longer trip (23f) on handicap debut at this course last month, so is best not judged on that. Hood back on now and too soon to write off. | |||
(12)  (33/1 +0%)Eairsidh |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Eairsidh 33/1, Has a stamina-laden pedigree and left the impression he is in need of a much stiffer test on handicap debut at Taunton last month. Will likely prove better than this mark in time. | |||
1st (2)  (2/1 +71%)Fever Roque |
2/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fever Roque 2/1, Shown improved form since handicapping, producing a career-best effort when third at Kelso 3 weeks ago, pulling clear of the remainder. Will be competitive again from same mark. Respected. | |||
2nd (9)  (7/1 -17%)Zara's Universe |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Zara's Universe 7/1, Poor maiden hurdler who ran as well as could be expected from 6 lb out of the handicap at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Given a lot to do that day and not discounted now back on her proper mark. | |||
4th (1)  (4/1 -14%)Fox's Socks |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fox's Socks 4/1, Left previous form well behind when making a mockery of his opening mark at Uttoxeter on final start for Tom Lacey in July. Since changed hands for £20,000 but is now 16 lb higher in the weights. | |||
5th (10)  (7/1 +42%)Keeper Chris |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Keeper Chris 7/1, In the process of running well back over hurdles when suffering a heavy fall 2 out at Doncaster last month. Better off at the weights with Son of The Somme now and that form makes him interesting. | |||
6th (8)  (12/1 +0%)Bravantina |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bravantina 12/1, Modest winner on Flat who ran creditably in handicaps for Mark Walford last season. Has since moved to a yard that do well with new recruits (has had a wind op) and the market may reveal more. | |||
7th (11)  (9/1 +78%)Burdigala |
9/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Burdigala 9/1, Fair form in France, but has struggled for this yard, and offered little on return from 7 months off at Newcastle earlier this month. | |||
8th (13)  (33/1 +18%)Givehimhisdew |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Givehimhisdew 33/1, Well beaten when finishing on recent starts and makes little appeal back in a handicap. 1 lb out of the weights. | |||
|PU| (7)  (14/1 -27%)New Delhi Express |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) New Delhi Express 14/1, Merely hinted at ability in maiden hurdles and failed to improve in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Hexham in August. Has run respectably on Flat since, but others look stronger. | |||
|PU| (6)  (22/1 -10%)Finoah |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Finoah 22/1, Fairly useful on Flat and showed first form in this sphere at Southwell last month. Should stay this longer trip and opening mark looks fair enough based on the pick of his Flat form. |

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.
