1
1st (3) Notlongtillmay (2.75/1 -22%)
Notlongtillmay

2.75/1(-22%)
(3) Notlongtillmay 2.75/1, Hurdles winner for Chris Gordon last term and immediate improvement switched to fences for new yard this season, making it 2-2 in this sphere with a dominant display over C&D last month. Up 10 lb but that may not stop him given that he probably has more to offer.
2
2nd (5) Half Shot (16/1 -60%)
Half Shot

16/1(-60%)
(5) Half Shot 16/1, Opened chase account back from a break at Sedgefield in October before following over hurdles here the following month. By no means disgraced when third returned to this sphere (again at this course) last time but he lacks the potential of some of these rivals.
3
3rd (6) Diamond State (50/1 -25%)
Diamond State

50/1(-25%)
(6) Diamond State 50/1, Looked rather fortuitous (left clear at the last) when getting off the mark over fences in a 4-runner handicap over 2m here in December. However, put in his place behind Notlongtillmay over C&D next time and he's 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights.
4
4th (2) Bear Ghylls (6.5/1 -18%)
Bear Ghylls

6.5/1(-18%)
(2) Bear Ghylls 6.5/1, Had a fine season as a novice hurdler in 2020/21, winning his first 3 starts. Shaped better than the bare result after 20 months off when third on chase debut at Carlisle and, with his subsequent Uttoxeter effort best overlooked (race came too soon), he remains with potential in this sphere.
|F|
|F| (4) Halo Des Obeaux (4.5/1 -29%)
Halo Des Obeaux

4.5/1(-29%)
(4) Halo Des Obeaux 4.5/1, Things didn't go to plan for this French recruit last season but he got his career back on track when landing a Sandown handicap hurdle in November. Good effort at second attempt over fences when runner-up at Newbury (22.4f, soft) last time and likely to play a part in the finish.
|U|
|U| (1) Drumbear (1.25/1 +44%)
Drumbear

1.25/1(+44%)
(1) Drumbear 1.25/1, Dual hurdles winner last season, including here, and looks set to prove at least as good in this sphere judged on his chase debut success at Limerick (17.7f, heavy). This Irish raider is a big player with improvement on the cards.

1st (12) Magna Sam (22/1 +33%)
Magna Sam

22/1(+33%)
(12) Magna Sam 22/1, Wide-margin winner of back-to-back, small-field handicap chases over 3m here for Sophie Leech last season. However, pulled up at Aintree on final run of that campaign and entitled to come on for this belated seasonal reappearance/debut for new yard.
2
2nd (6) Captain Cattistock (10/1 -25%)
Captain Cattistock

10/1(-25%)
(6) Captain Cattistock 10/1, Ended last season on a high, accounting for The Wolf and 4 others in this race 12 months ago prior to scoring over 3¼m at Cheltenham. Failed to build on encouraging reappearance when only fourth back at Prestbury Park last time but he merits respect all the same.
3
3rd (10) Flower Of Scotland (6/1 +0%)
Flower Of Scotland

6/1(+0%)
(10) Flower Of Scotland 6/1, Built on encouraging reappearance third at Carlisle when landing the Scottish Borders National (32.4f, soft) in decisive fashion, making it 3-3 at Kelso in the process. This 8 lb higher demands a new personal best but she has to enter calculations.
4
4th (13) Just Don't Know (11/1 +21%)
Just Don't Know

11/1(+21%)
(13) Just Don't Know 11/1, Successful twice last term and deservedly got his head back in front when landing a 4-runner Kelso handicap (23.4f, heavy) from the front last month, despite racing lazily at times. Promises to stay this far and not without each-way hope.
5th
5th (3) Truckers Lodge (5.5/1 +21%)
Truckers Lodge

5.5/1(+21%)
(3) Truckers Lodge 5.5/1, Winless since landing the 2020 Midlands Grand National but he is steadily coming down the weights and was by no means disgraced when fourth of 17 in the Welsh National at Chepstow (30.6f, soft) last time. Couldn't rule out.
6th
6th (5) The Wolf (9/1 -6%)
The Wolf

9/1(-6%)
(5) The Wolf 9/1, Back on track (following another wind op) when second on return at Cheltenham in October. However, hasn't been in the same form both starts since and others are more appealing, for all that he was runner-up in this off 2 lb higher last year.
7th
7th (2) Mighty Thunder (50/1 -52%)
Mighty Thunder

50/1(-52%)
(2) Mighty Thunder 50/1, Won the 2021 Scottish Grand National but has failed to complete on 4 of his 5 subsequent starts over fences, including when pulled up in this race 12 months ago. Plenty to prove at present.
8th
8th (11) The Ferry Master (10/1 +38%)
The Ferry Master

10/1(+38%)
(11) The Ferry Master 10/1, Progressed very well over fences during 2020/21 campaign, notably finishing fourth in that season's Scottish Grand National. However, he has subsequently failed to reproduce that level of form and looks up against it here.
9th
9th (1) Slipway (4/1 +11%)
Slipway

4/1(+11%)
(1) Slipway 4/1, Progressive sort who made it 3 wins from 4 completed starts over fences when landing the 11-runner Southern National at Fontwell (27.7f, good) in November. 7 lb rise tolerable and another bold show anticipated.
|PU|
|PU| (4) Doyen Breed (6.5/1 +7%)
Doyen Breed

6.5/1(+7%)
(4) Doyen Breed 6.5/1, Hexham novice chase winner and was twice runner-up in Grade 2 events last season. Safely held on return over hurdles (first run following a wind op) at Doncaster but likely he'll be sharper back over fences here with cheekpieces refitted.
|PU|
|PU| (7) Regina Dracones (14/1 +13%)
Regina Dracones

14/1(+13%)
(7) Regina Dracones 14/1, Three wins as a novice last season but let down by her jumping this term, last seen taking a heavy fall in the Welsh National. Probably best to look elsewhere.
|PU|
|PU| (9) Tide Times (18/1 -64%)
Tide Times

18/1(-64%)
(9) Tide Times 18/1, Back-to-back winner over 23.8f at Ludlow last season and again hit the target at that course when landing a 6-runner handicap (25.6f, soft) last month. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this is a stiffer assignment.
|PU|
|PU| (8) Innisfree Lad (22/1 -10%)
Innisfree Lad

22/1(-10%)
(8) Innisfree Lad 22/1, Useful form at best last year (third in Eider Chase at Newcastle) and all the better for reappearance run when second at Carlisle in October. However, below par both subsequent starts and there's an air of vulnerability about him.

1st (5) Inis Oirr (7.5/1 +46%)
Inis Oirr

7.5/1(+46%)
(5) Inis Oirr 7.5/1, Runner-up in Irish point and has gone with promise on all his three hurdling runs, staying-on sixth of 12 in handicap at Kelso (22.7f) 37 days ago. Not discounted over this longer trip.
2
2nd (2) Outlaw Peter (2.5/1 -39%)
Outlaw Peter

2.5/1(-39%)
(2) Outlaw Peter 2.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Exeter in November. 11/2, pulled up in the mud in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f) 21 days ago but is the sort to bounce back.
3
3rd (1) Glen Cannel (8.5/1 +0%)
Glen Cannel

8.5/1(+0%)
(1) Glen Cannel 8.5/1, Made it 2-2 in this sphere in 5-runner novice hurdle (6/1) at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 33 days ago. This demands more however.
4
4th (3) Rexem (3/1 +0%)
Rexem

3/1(+0%)
(3) Rexem 3/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler, latest success at Killarney in August. 5/4, last of 6 in novice at Cheltenham (24f) 105 days ago so needs to bounce back after his break.
5th
5th (6) Shadows In The Sky (66/1 -100%)
Shadows In The Sky

66/1(-100%)
(6) Shadows In The Sky 66/1, Easily off mark in Irish points and encouraging second of 7 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago. This is a tough ask, though.
|F|
|F| (4) Hemlock (2/1 +11%)
Hemlock

2/1(+11%)
(4) Hemlock 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler who comes here on the back of a good third of 14 in novice at Navan (20f) 14 days ago. Proven over this longer trip and holds very strong form claims.

1
1st (9) Collingham (5.5/1 +27%)
Collingham

5.5/1(+27%)
(9) Collingham 5.5/1, C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet when landing 6-runner handicap at Wetherby on return in October. Creditable efforts in defeat since, notably when chasing home reopposing stablemate Nayati over C&D on New Year's Day. Big player off an unchanged mark.
2
2nd (6) Parisencore (9/1 +0%)
Parisencore

9/1(+0%)
(6) Parisencore 9/1, Made it three wins from his last four starts in 2m handicap hurdle at Wetherby in October, just holding on. Not in same form in a better race at Newbury since and needs to bounce back after a 10-week break.
3
3rd (8) Kihavah (5.5/1 +45%)
Kihavah

5.5/1(+45%)
(8) Kihavah 5.5/1, In winning form on the Flat last year and he resumed over timber with a good second of 12 in a competitive 2m handicap at Market Rasen in September. Has failed to complete on both hurdle starts since but his recent AW Flat fifth was respectable. Has first-time cheekpieces added to a tongue strap.
4
4th (7) Grivetana (4.5/1 -50%)
Grivetana

4.5/1(-50%)
(7) Grivetana 4.5/1, Dual winner last term and progressed again when runner-up in handicap company over 2m at Newbury (good/good to firm) on first 2 outings this season. May well have been unsuited by testing ground when well held there on New Year's Eve. Capable of bouncing back. Yard won this twice in recent years.
5th
5th (3) Nayati (4.5/1 +0%)
Nayati

4.5/1(+0%)
(3) Nayati 4.5/1, Has returned better than ever from a long lay-off, scoring readily at Bangor before bagging a nice prize over C&D (Collingham 2 lengths back in second) on New Year's Day. That form has been boosted so a 3 lb rise looks more than fair.
6th
6th (5) Inca Prince (16/1 +27%)
Inca Prince

16/1(+27%)
(5) Inca Prince 16/1, Free-going front-runner who won a pair of C&D juveniles at the start of 2022 but has struggled over hurdles/on the Flat since. A 4-month break needs to have had a reviving effect.
7th
7th (10) Socialist Agenda (11/1 +0%)
Socialist Agenda

11/1(+0%)
(10) Socialist Agenda 11/1, Won this race 12 months ago. Another good effort over C&D when runner-up in December but he was well behind reopposing Donald McCain pair Nayati and Collingham back here on New Year's Day. Cheekpieces off this time.
8th
8th (1) Camprond (14/1 +0%)
Camprond

14/1(+0%)
(1) Camprond 14/1, Smart effort to win a big-field handicap at the Punchestown Festival last spring but didn't take to fences on return to action in November and well beaten on completed start back hurdling last month. Hood refitted.
9th
9th (4) Lebowski (5.5/1 -10%)
Lebowski

5.5/1(-10%)
(4) Lebowski 5.5/1, Looked promising when easily winning 2m novice hurdles at Ffos Las and Ayr last season and got off the mark in handicaps at the second attempt with a taking success at Wetherby (2m again) on his reappearance. Raised 7 lb but he has the potential for better again. Respected.
|PU|
|PU| (2) Band Of Outlaws (80/1 -100%)
Band Of Outlaws

80/1(-100%)
(2) Band Of Outlaws 80/1, One-time useful hurdler who has been seen out sparingly in the last couple of years. Well beaten on his return to action for a new stable at Sandown last month. The handicapper has dropped him 5 lb for that but he could only be considered if backed.

1st (10) Scots Poet (8.5/1 +23%)
Scots Poet

8.5/1(+23%)
(10) Scots Poet 8.5/1, Stratford bumper winner who made if fourth time lucky over hurdles in a Sedgefield novice in May. Hasn't kicked on in handicaps since, but latest C&D third was a bit better and he's been eased another 3 lb since.
2
2nd (1) Rewired (2.75/1 +45%)
Rewired

2.75/1(+45%)
(1) Rewired 2.75/1, 5-y-o who doubled hurdles tally for this yard at Huntingdon (2m) in November and matched that form without proving a match for the winner when second at Kelso (2m again) in December, Likely to remain competitive.
3
3rd (3) Cuban Cigar (4.5/1 -13%)
Cuban Cigar

4.5/1(-13%)
(3) Cuban Cigar 4.5/1, Consistent sort who ran well again when fourth to Nayati in a C&D Class 2 on New Year's Day (first outing since wind surgery). Dropped 2 lb which looks generous given that the third and fifth in that race have won since. Major player down in grade.
4
4th (11) Smart Lass (5.5/1 -10%)
Smart Lass

5.5/1(-10%)
(11) Smart Lass 5.5/1, Dual scorer on the level here in 2021 and off the mark over hurdles when taking this race 12 months ago. Been running respectably back hurdling this winter and likely to be in the shake-up again. Has cheekpieces and a tongue strap combined for the first time.
5th
5th (5) Zamond (14/1 -100%)
Zamond

14/1(-100%)
(5) Zamond 14/1, Back to winning ways in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.5f) in December. Didn't get the chance to show what he could do from his new mark when unseating around halfway at Catterick since. Respected.
6th
6th (13) Flylikeaneagle (12/1 -33%)
Flylikeaneagle

12/1(-33%)
(13) Flylikeaneagle 12/1, Has notched 4 Flat wins (including here) since coming over from Ireland but he seems to have stamina limitations over hurdles, fading to finish sixth over C&D at the beginning of January. One of 4 runners from his stable.
7th
7th (7) Iceman Dennis (12/1 +40%)
Iceman Dennis

12/1(+40%)
(7) Iceman Dennis 12/1, A touch disappointing since his near miss in a bumper on debut and he could only manage a well-held fourth on his Market Rasen handicap bow in December (first outing since wind surgery). Zamond the more obvious of yard's pair.
8th
8th (12) Wilhelm Vonvenster (66/1 -230%)
Wilhelm Vonvenster

66/1(-230%)
(12) Wilhelm Vonvenster 66/1, Gained his breakthrough win at Sedgefield in November 2021 but has largely found life tough since (including on the Flat when last seen in the autumn). Has dropped below that successful mark but others arrive with more pressing claims.
9th
9th (8) Iolani (33/1 -32%)
Iolani

33/1(-32%)
(8) Iolani 33/1, Course winner who was a fair fourth at Sedgefield in September but has disappointed twice since (tailed off when unseating 3 out back at Sedgefield latest).
10th
10th (6) Blooriedotcom (8/1 +27%)
Blooriedotcom

8/1(+27%)
(6) Blooriedotcom 8/1, Dual C&D winner in early 2020 and another good effort over C&D when third to Smart Lass in this race a year ago. Below his best in 2 chases at Hexham last May and has been absent since then so it might be best to look elsewhere despite his good record here.
11th
11th (9) Crecerelle (50/1 +0%)
Crecerelle

50/1(+0%)
(9) Crecerelle 50/1, Modest maiden hurdler who was well beaten in a Down Royal handicap when last seen in August. Could only consider if backed.
12th
12th (4) Simple Star (25/1 -233%)
Simple Star

25/1(-233%)
(4) Simple Star 25/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 11f) who was runner-up in maiden/novice hurdles at Perth in the summer. Given a break since a lesser effort on the Flat in September (final start for Iain Jardine). Opening handicap hurdle mark looks workable now setting out for a new stable. Has a hood added.
13th
13th (2) Our Marty (11/1 +21%)
Our Marty

11/1(+21%)
(2) Our Marty 11/1, Made winning start over hurdles at Perth (2m) in September but disappointing on both starts since. Early days but he needs to get back on track now handicapping.

1st (1) Cyclop (8/1 +6%)
Cyclop

8/1(+6%)
(1) Cyclop 8/1, Multiple winner over hurdles/fences during 2020/21. Seen just once last season but some decent efforts in defeat this term. Stays very well so needs a good test at this trip.
2
2nd (3) Mr Muldoon (2.5/1 +0%)
Mr Muldoon

2.5/1(+0%)
(3) Mr Muldoon 2.5/1, Dual scorer over fences in 2020/21. Mainly struggled after, but with yard in better heart, he capitalised on a much-reduced hurdles mark to score under hands and heels at Chepstow (19.5f) 27 days ago. Remains on a potentially good mark back in this sphere.
3
3rd (4) Stylish Moment (20/1 +9%)
Stylish Moment

20/1(+9%)
(4) Stylish Moment 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best for Eoin Doyle. Shaped as if as good as ever on third start for present yard when third over fences at Carlisle (24.5f) in October but hasn't gone on from that in 2 subsequent starts, running poorly at Newcastle latest.
4
4th (5) Nick Lost (5.5/1 -57%)
Nick Lost

5.5/1(-57%)
(5) Nick Lost 5.5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2018 but hinted at a revival in this headgear when sixth of 20 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f, good to soft, 20/1) in October, doing too much too soon. Stiff task at Punchestown since so not dismissed back in calmer waters.
5th
5th (2) Didero Vallis (2.12/1 +29%)
Didero Vallis

2.12/1(+29%)
(2) Didero Vallis 2.12/1, Useful chaser at his best (third in last season's Kim Muir) and good placed efforts both completed starts this term. Big shout in this company.
6th
6th (6) Jack Devine (6/1 +14%)
Jack Devine

6/1(+14%)
(6) Jack Devine 6/1, Yet to hit top form this term, only fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f) 71 days ago, finishing rather tamely having briefly looked a threat. Returns to chasing with something to prove.
7th
7th (7) Juge Et Parti (11/1 +0%)
Juge Et Parti

11/1(+0%)
(7) Juge Et Parti 11/1, Did well in handicap chases last season, winning twice over 3m. Respectable hurdling return at Wetherby but ran poorly reverted to chasing at Kelso 37 days ago. Type to bounce back given his overall profile.

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.

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.
