1st (4)  (5.5/1 -38%)Zafar |
5.5/1(-38%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zafar 5.5/1, Fine start for new yard this summer, winning maiden/novice events around this trip. Remained in form since without suggesting he has much in hand of his mark. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.25/1 +0%)Diamond State |
2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Diamond State 2.25/1, Has improved to win a pair of course handicaps this season, the latter over this trip. Thriving and merits plenty of respect on this hat-trick bid. | |||
3rd (7)  (2.5/1 +50%)Smart Lass |
2.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Smart Lass 2.5/1, Dual scorer on the level here in 2021. Best run since returning to hurdles when third of 8 over 2m here a fortnight ago. | |||
4th (6)  (18/1 -50%)Blooriedotcom |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Blooriedotcom 18/1, In fine form when scoring twice over 2m here in early-2020 but he's made it to the track only twice since. Entitled to come on for Kelso comeback run last month but can only be watched for now. | |||
5th (3)  (33/1 -32%)Celtic Flames |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Celtic Flames 33/1, Scored at Perth and over C&D in autumn 2020 but not in the same form in a pair of comeback runs early last summer. Been off another 6 months. On a winning mark but has too much to prove. | |||
|PU| (5)  (3/1 +25%)Lanty Slea |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lanty Slea 3/1, Bumper winner in 2020. Fair form when second in 21f Kelso novice hurdle last May and close up when stumbling and unseating on home turn at Sedgefield last month. Opening handicap mark looks workable. |

(5)  (12/1 +0%)The Big Jetaway |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Big Jetaway 12/1, Showed ability when third on Carlisle hurdling debut in November but failed to build on that at same course since. Had wind operation. | |||
1st (1)  (2/1 +27%)Drumbear |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Drumbear 2/1, Won Downpatrick bumper on debut and posted good third in follow-up bid at Ayr (16f, good) when last seen 8 months ago. Warrants respect on switch to hurdling. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.25/1 +34%)Salvino |
1.25/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Salvino 1.25/1, Winning pointer who posted a fairly useful effort, on only his second run over hurdles, when second of 13 in novice at this course (20.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Likely to do better still. | |||
3rd (6)  (16/1 -60%)Starlyte |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Starlyte 16/1, Stepped up on debut when comfortably off the mark at Kelso (16.2f) in May. However, no impact in either start this term. | |||
4th (2)  (3.5/1 -40%)Garde Des Champs |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Garde Des Champs 3.5/1, Run to fair level both starts over hurdles, latest when second of 8 in novice over C&D (good to soft, 9/2) 28 days ago, clear of rest. Should go well again. | |||
5th (4)  (33/1 +34%)Songofthelark |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Songofthelark 33/1, Made the frame both starts in this sphere, latest when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago. More required to make an impact here, though. |

1st (3)  (3/1 +14%)Mackenberg |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mackenberg 3/1, Fairly useful novice hurdle winner who shaped well when third on his Wetherby return. Dropped away tamely at Haydock since but subsequently had a wind op and retains potential now chasing. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.62/1 -17%)Broadway Joe |
1.62/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Broadway Joe 1.62/1, Is improving in leaps and bounds, and he maintained his unbeaten record over fences in impressive fashion over C&D a fortnight ago. Hiked up another 10 lb but still looks weighted to go in again. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.88/1 -7%)Kakamora |
1.88/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kakamora 1.88/1, Winning pointer who ended last term on the up over hurdles and he made a promising start in this sphere (had wind op/tongue tied) when patiently-ridden third in 20f Wincanton handicap. More to come. | |||
|PU| (2)  (11/1 +8%)O Connell Street |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) O Connell Street 11/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who won at Perth in September and was caught only late under aggressive ride when third at Fairyhouse (21f) 37 days ago. Not ruled out for new yard. |

1st (4)  (10/1 +9%)The Steward |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Steward 10/1, Only the one win over hurdles and seemingly not the same horse as the one that won a jumper’s bumper early last year. Opposable after 6 months off. | |||
2nd (12)  (40/1 +0%)That's Your Lottie |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) That's Your Lottie 40/1, Last of 7 on Carlisle chase debut last month and makes little appeal returned to hurdling here. 1 lb out of the handicap. | |||
3rd (9)  (28/1 -100%)Silkstone |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Silkstone 28/1, Not scored under either code for some time but does figure off a decent mark on his return to hurdling. | |||
4th (5)  (20/1 -25%)Wilhelm Vonvenster |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wilhelm Vonvenster 20/1, Opened his account in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f) in November under this rider and can have follow-up bid ignored (minimal assistance from saddle). | |||
5th (6)  (14/1 +0%)My Macho Man |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) My Macho Man 14/1, Still looking for first success over hurdles and never really threatened (albeit from well out of the handicap) over C&D 28 days ago. | |||
6th (1)  (50/1 -43%)Jack Yeats |
50/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jack Yeats 50/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and promising hurdles debut (for John Halley) when third at Limerick in June 2020. Little impact in various race-types for this yard, though, and is readily opposed. | |||
7th (11)  (40/1 -21%)Jess's Corner |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Jess's Corner 40/1, Yet to win a race of any description and hard to get excited about both efforts for this yard in recent weeks. | |||
8th (3)  (6/1 +20%)Sarvi |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sarvi 6/1, Won over C&D before but arrives on back of below-par effort here last month. | |||
9th (7)  (5/1 +9%)Court Jurado |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Court Jurado 5/1, Only one win from 24 runs, but wasn't disgraced over a longer trip at Catterick last time and remains on a workable mark. | |||
|F| (10)  (5/1 -11%)Ultra Violet |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ultra Violet 5/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France and stepped forward from his hurdling debut when third in a juvenile over C&D in November. Unexposed switched to handicaps and is an interesting contender. | |||
|U| (2)  (3.5/1 +0%)Gemologist |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gemologist 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 24 NH runs but posted creditable second of 8 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft, 5/2) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Likely to be thereabouts. | |||
|PU| (8)  (5/1 +23%)Les's Legacy |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Les's Legacy 5/1, Clear of rest when second of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Newcastle (16.2f, good) 16 days ago. Can race off same mark again and merits consideration. |

1st (6)  (6.5/1 +35%)Pookie Pekan |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pookie Pekan 6.5/1, Scored at Perth in June but he jumped sketchily when only fair fifth of 10 in 20f handicap chase at Newcastle on his return 37 days ago. Bit more is needed now. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.5/1 +30%)First Account |
1.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) First Account 1.5/1, Course winner who comes here on the back of good second of 6 in 20f handicap at Carlisle 56 days ago, edged out near finish. High on the shortlist nudged up just 2 lb. | |||
3rd (2)  (4.5/1 -100%)Eaglehill |
4.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eaglehill 4.5/1, Made light of a six-month absence when landing 3-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (3m) in October. Up 2 lb but he's now 3-5 in this sphere, so he rates a player after another break. | |||
4th (4)  (14/1 -75%)Brian Boranha |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Brian Boranha 14/1, Gained first win since 2018 in 25f handicap chase at Catterick 45 days ago. Veteran can't be ruled out off 2 lb higher mark. | |||
5th (3)  (6/1 +14%)Dino Boy |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dino Boy 6/1, Arrives below par, making mistakes when only eighth of 13 in 4m handicap chase at Kelso 29 days ago. Others are preferred more. | |||
6th (5)  (10/1 +9%)That's A Given |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) That's A Given 10/1, Fairly useful winner for Noel Williams, but he came in last in handicap hurdle here on yard bow after 5 months off. Cheekpieces back on returned to fences and no surprise to see him step forward. | |||
7th (7)  (9/1 +25%)Elmono |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Elmono 9/1, C&D winner but he arrives below par, only fourth of 6 in handicap chase here 65 days ago. Back from a wind op now with more required. |

1st (4)  (1.62/1 +7%)Holmes St Georges |
1.62/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Holmes St Georges 1.62/1, Fetched €50,000 as a 3-y-o and encouraging start to his career when fourth of 9 at Ballinrobe last May. Yard does well in bumpers on this side of the pond and he's a must for the shortlist. | |||
2nd (8)  (2.75/1 -38%)Champagnesocialist |
2.75/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Champagnesocialist 2.75/1, Showed plenty when runner-up in bumpers for Tom Taaffe at Roscommon and Galway early last season. 14-month absence to overcome for new yard here, but she's the one to beat all the same. | |||
3rd (7)  (18/1 +28%)Roan |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Roan 18/1, €12,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Dam 2m hurdle winner, also 1¾m-2m winner on Flat. Yard saddles the occasional bumper winner and this one is worth a peek in the betting. | |||
4th (3)  (5/1 +44%)Hard Iron |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hard Iron 5/1, €32,000 3-y-o. Closely related to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Royal Rendezvous and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Centurion Steel. Yard can ready a newcomer and market check strongly advised. | |||
5th (5)  (100/1 +0%)Our Sam |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Our Sam 100/1, No show in bumpers at Perth and Carlisle, and it's hard to envisage him faring any better here. | |||
6th (2)  (7.5/1 -36%)Dom Bosco |
7.5/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dom Bosco 7.5/1, Nicely bred and showed plenty to work on when third at Ludlow first time out. Yard's runners usually come on for a run and, if that proves to be the case with this 5-y-o, he should be in the mix. | |||
7th (9)  (250/1 -25%)Heaventree |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Heaventree 250/1, No immediate signs of ability when tailed off on debut at Carlisle. | |||
8th (11)  (6.5/1 -8%)Clova Hotel |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Clova Hotel 6.5/1, Sixties Icon gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Simply Rouge. Yard is hardly a regular source of first-time-out winners, but this 4-y-o receives weight all round and is well worth a second look. | |||
9th (6)  (50/1 +38%)Raythehandyman |
50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Raythehandyman 50/1, Underwent a wind op following inauspicious deput display last spring and showed more spark when fifth on return at Ayr in October. However, anothe sizeable step forward will be needed here. | |||
10th (1)  (100/1 +0%)Big Arthur |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Big Arthur 100/1, Out with the washing on debut in a Newcastle bumper last month and it's best to look elsewhere. | |||
11th (10)  (100/1 -100%)Notnowkate's |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Notnowkate's 100/1, Decent enough pedigree, but she offered precious little starting out in a Hexham bumper last spring. |

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.
