4/1(+20%)

(5) Code Name Lise 8/1, Opened her account in a bumper at Ascot in February. Matched that form when returning from wind surgery to finish third in listed company in November but low-key hurdles debut needs casting aside.

(10) Maclaine 5/1, €70,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding who shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth in a course bumper. Again showed ability on hurdles bow 5 weeks ago and he's dangerous if settling better.

Ben Lilly

25/1(-56%)
(4) Ben Lilly 25/1, Useful Flat winner at up to 2m for David Brown. Ran below that level sent hurdling after 4 months off when a well-beaten fourth at Taunton recently and he'll need longer trips than this.

14/1(+13%)
(5) Card Dealer 14/1, Third both starts in points and filled the same position on Rules debut in an Ascot bumper in October. Not so good back there 3 weeks later and makes hurdles bow here.

Hara Kiri

50/1(-52%)
(7) Hara Kiri 50/1, Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers (trained by Willie Mullins first 2 starts) but was too free when fifth on hurdles bow at Plumpton recently. Will be of more interest in handicaps.

7th (3) Alghazaal (40/1 -150%)
Alghazaal

40/1(-150%)
(3) Alghazaal 40/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Michael Bell and shaped better than bare result on hurdles debut at Doncaster (16.6f). Since undergone a wind op and can be expected to leave that form behind in time.

100/1(+20%)
(8) Hiway One O Three 100/1, Showed ability in a trio of bumpers, but has cut little ice in a couple of outings over hurdles, fifth over this C&D 3 weeks ago. Plenty more needed.

Enchantee

400/1(-60%)
(13) Enchantee 400/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m. Little show at huge odds for current handler so easy to look elsewhere on hurdling debut.

Systemic

125/1(+17%)
(11) Systemic 125/1, Fairly useful but temperamental on Flat (stays 1¾m) who showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when fifth at Plumpton last month. Will need another big step forward to feature.

Son Of Camas

10/1(-18%)
(5) Son Of Camas 10/1, Bumper/hurdles winner in 2019/2020. Yet to fully convince over fences, his Sandown effort possibly a flash in the pan judged on his poor run at Ludlow since. Blinkers reached for back from a break.

Light N Strike

2.5/1(+50%)
(2) Light N Strike 2.5/1, Has quickly progressed over fences, off the mark at Plumpton (17f) in November while he might have followed up at Southwell but for losing momentum late on. Back from a break and worth considering.

Amarillo Sky

1/1(-10%)
(1) Amarillo Sky 1/1, Hasn't always looked straightforward, but has done little wrong since sent chasing, winning at Wincanton before finishing second in similar event at Ascot that has worked out. Set to go well.

Howling Milan

18/1(+0%)
(5) Howling Milan 18/1, C&D novice winner who went closer than he has for a while when second over 3m here 11 months ago. Not at that level next 2 starts but he may have needed September's Warwick return. Back in trip now.
(1) Canford Light (50/1 +0%)
Canford Light

50/1(+0%)
(1) Canford Light 50/1, Bagged 21f Ludlow novice on yard bow in October and yet to be asked for his effort when falling in handicaps at Aintree/Taunton more recently. Remains low-mileage and return to 2m will hold no fears.

John Betjeman

Sheldon

3/1(+54%)
(10) Sheldon 3/1, Fakenham maiden winner (2m) who has run with credit in hitting the frame in pair of Lingfield handicaps (19.5f) in recent months, albeit seemingly holding no excuses. Still, each-way player again.

Kuraka

10/1(-11%)
(12) Kuraka 10/1, Sole hurdles success was gained in a Limerick maiden for Gordon Elliott back in April 2018. On a handy mark nowadays and possible refitting of blinkers will put an edge on him on latest evidence.

Fontana Ellissi

6.5/1(+59%)
(8) Fontana Ellissi 6.5/1, Dual novice hurdles scorer (at 21f) for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Seemingly finding his feet in a couple of starts for new stable but he will need to settle better if he's to play a lead role here.

6th (3) Alborkan (18/1 -125%)
Alborkan

18/1(-125%)
(3) Alborkan 18/1, Hooded for first time when landing a Plumpton maiden in April. Best effort since switched to handicaps when runner-up with cheekpieces/tongue strap added at Uttoxeter in December. However, this deeper

Nobby

16/1(-14%)

Mascat

8.5/1(-13%)
(9) Mascat 8.5/1, Useful Flat performer (stays 1¼m) and perfect start over hurdles when landing a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) in October. Creditable third under a penalty there since. Handicap debut.

Ar Mest

33/1(+18%)
(11) Ar Mest 33/1, Managed to get his head back in front in a Fakenham selling hurdle (2m) in May but not in same form over fences/hurdles for 2 different stables thereafter. Looks best watched back from a short break.

(10) Wayfinder 3.33/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who landed 26f handicap chase at Chepstow 15 months ago. Below form both outings so far this term, but travelled well to a point at this course last time. Not completely dismissed.
(8) Mellow Ben (8/1 -7%)
Mellow Ben

8/1(-7%)
(8) Mellow Ben 8/1, Arrives on a lengthy losing run, but latest chase run in June was encouraging. Too free over hurdles at Kempton a couple of months ago on sole outing since, but can't be dismissed from handy mark.
(6) The Devils Drop (20/1 -67%)
The Devils Drop

20/1(-67%)
(6) The Devils Drop 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler and similar form over fences. Hard to catch right nowadays and was pulled up at Wincanton last month. Others make more appeal.

Tango Boy

5.5/1(+83%)

(2) Landofsmiles 7/1, Four-time winner over fences in 2021 but handicapper has his measure as a result and latest effort at this course was pretty tame.

Keep Wondering

3/1(-50%)
(4) Keep Wondering 3/1, Hasn't had much racing as a chaser and justified support with a gutsy success in the mud at Haydock last time. Had a hard race there, but remains with scope and has only gone up 3 lb.
5th
5th (9) Cuban Pete (11/1 +21%)
Cuban Pete

(9) Cuban Pete 11/1, Dual chase winner last term but this season's efforts have been uninspiring. Back from a short break with his stable still in terrific form, though.

Hawthorn Cottage

3.33/1(+33%)

Voice Of Calm

3.5/1(-40%)
(2) Voice Of Calm 3.5/1, Score decisively at Cartmel in May and good efforts in defeat on each of her last three outings, narrowly denied by Gran Luna over C&D 3 weeks ago. Should be thereabouts once more.

Gran Luna

2.75/1(-57%)
(3) Gran Luna 2.75/1, Enhanced an impressive strike rate when narrowly denying Voice of Calm with a gutsy display over C&D last time. Has only gone up 2 lb and she's generally progressive, so capable of following up.

Miss Heritage

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.
