1st (11) Always Resolute (6/1 -33%)
Always Resolute

6/1(-33%)
(11) Always Resolute 6/1, Flat winner in September, but yet to fire over hurdles this season. Probably only of interest if he's backed in re-fitted headgear.
2
2nd (8) Eaton Hill (4.5/1 +31%)
Eaton Hill

4.5/1(+31%)
(8) Eaton Hill 4.5/1, Back on song before Christmas, first past the post in Doncaster handicap only to be disqualified (rider weighed in light). Promoted winner has boosted the form in the meantime and he could figure.
3
3rd (5) Haul Away (25/1 -178%)
Haul Away

25/1(-178%)
(5) Haul Away 25/1, Four-time hurdles winner in 2018 but he was off the track quite a while and has struggled in mixed company this season. Plenty to prove for top yard.
4
4th (1) Highway One O One (7.5/1 +46%)
Highway One O One

7.5/1(+46%)
(1) Highway One O One 7.5/1, Smart handicap chaser at his peak but has become disappointing, well beaten back over hurdles at Aintree in October, a rare poor run from him in this sphere. Leap of faith required.
5th
5th (7) Neachells Bridge (3.5/1 +30%)
Neachells Bridge

3.5/1(+30%)
(7) Neachells Bridge 3.5/1, A winner over both sets of obstacles and suspect his 2 runs at Wincanton this season haven't got to the bottom of him. Handicapper has helped and he's worth a look in first-time cheekpieces.
6th
6th (3) Not A Role Model (2.75/1 +21%)
Not A Role Model

2.75/1(+21%)
(3) Not A Role Model 2.75/1, Has continued his progress this season, making all in handicap chase at Wincanton and hurdle at Fakenham the last twice. This is tougher but he clearly can't be ruled out in current heart.
7th
7th (2) Mount Mews (25/1 -79%)
Mount Mews

25/1(-79%)
(2) Mount Mews 25/1, Temperamental sort, long since not been one to rely on in a finish and without a victory for 3 years. Poor at Musselburgh last time but has dropped yet further in the handicap.
8th
8th (9) Champagne City (16/1 +20%)
Champagne City

16/1(+20%)
(9) Champagne City 16/1, His last 2 campaigns have been a washout but he's now 13 lb lower in the weights than for a narrow defeat in 2m handicap at this meeting 2 years ago. Stamina to prove but he could stage a revival.
9th
9th (4) Aintree My Dream (16/1 -78%)
Aintree My Dream

16/1(-78%)
(4) Aintree My Dream 16/1, Rolled back the years to end a losing run in unsatisfactory Wincanton handicap chase last month. Of similar ability over hurdles but not an obvious one for the follow up in this.
10th
10th (6) Equus Millar (16/1 -60%)
Equus Millar

16/1(-60%)
(6) Equus Millar 16/1, Multiple hurdles winner who proved better than ever to double his tally over the larger obstacles at Haydock (2m) in December but was let down by jumping next time. On a fair mark back in this sphere.
11th
11th (10) Ruacana (80/1 -142%)
Ruacana

80/1(-142%)
(10) Ruacana 80/1, Very useful at his peak and landed back-to-back Lingfield handicaps (both heavy) in November 2019. However, struggling for form so far this term. Career-low mark now.

1st (5) Sir Ivan (8/1 -45%)
Sir Ivan

8/1(-45%)
(5) Sir Ivan 8/1, Not the easiest to catch right but this 11-y-o arrives having hit the frame all 3 starts over hurdles/fences so far this winter. No reason why he won't give another good account.
2
2nd (9) Valadom (10/1 +9%)
Valadom

10/1(+9%)
(9) Valadom 10/1, Showed benefit of his return effort in France when making all in a veterans' handicap at Newcastle (20f) in November. Creditable third over hurdles followed and expected to give another good account.
3
3rd (3) The Kings Writ (9/1 +25%)
The Kings Writ

9/1(+25%)
(3) The Kings Writ 9/1, Useful handicap chaser who ran right up to best when runner-up in Somerset National (26.7f) on penultimate start. Below par last time but no surprise to see him bounce back.
4
4th (4) Sizing Codelco (33/1 -18%)
Sizing Codelco

33/1(-18%)
(4) Sizing Codelco 33/1, Back-to-back winner at Aintree/Punchestown Festivals in 2017. Record very mixed in highly-competitive company since and hard to be enthusiastic about judged on pair of exploits this winter.
5th
5th (6) Singlefarmpayment (4.5/1 +31%)
Singlefarmpayment

4.5/1(+31%)
(6) Singlefarmpayment 4.5/1, Unreliable chaser who is without a win since 2016. Below-par fifth in 3m handicap at Doncaster last time but the return to veterans' company rates a plus from further reduced mark.
6th
6th (2) West Approach (8.5/1 -6%)
West Approach

8.5/1(-6%)
(2) West Approach 8.5/1, Smart performer when in the mood, cracking second behind Frodon at Cheltenham in October. Record typically mixed since but repeat of latest fourth in a 3m veterans' contest leaves him with claims.
7th
7th (1) Present Man (8.5/1 -113%)
Present Man

8.5/1(-113%)
(1) Present Man 8.5/1, Enhanced good record fresh when landing veterans event at Chepstow in October. Not disgraced in Badger Ales next time and whilst below par at Warwick in November bounce back rates a possibility.
|U|
|U| (10) Shantou Village (2.25/1 +44%)
Shantou Village

2.25/1(+44%)
(10) Shantou Village 2.25/1, Not the force of old but showed he still has something to offer when fourth behind Present Man at Chepstow (23.6f) in October. Well held at Kempton over Christmas but break may have perked him up.
|PU|
|PU| (8) Strong Pursuit (8/1 +0%)
Strong Pursuit

8/1(+0%)
(8) Strong Pursuit 8/1, Fragile sort who ran well returning from 11 months off when third to Potters Legend at Warwick (3m) in November. However, not in anything like the same form at Sandown in January. Tough to assess.

1
1st (7) Umbrigado (6/1 +8%)
Umbrigado

6/1(+8%)
(7) Umbrigado 6/1, Useful hurdler who has taken well to fences this term, readily landing odds in 19.5f Fontwell novice then following up in 2m Wetherby handicap. 5 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely.
2
2nd (9) Killer Clown (4/1 +20%)
Killer Clown

4/1(+20%)
(9) Killer Clown 4/1, Point winner who has shown promise over fences this season, improving again to win traditionally strong 20.5f Kempton novice handicap on Boxing Day. Raised 15 lb but definitely more to come.
3
3rd (3) The Big Bite (11/1 +0%)
The Big Bite

11/1(+0%)
(3) The Big Bite 11/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who is progressive over fences, winning on 2m Aintree return before improving again when chasing home Ibleo at Doncaster (2m again). Has won over 2½m. Considered.
4
4th (12) Senior Citizen (7/1 +7%)
Senior Citizen

7/1(+7%)
(12) Senior Citizen 7/1, Won 2 of first 4 starts over fences. Improved again when second at Huntingdon (19f) in November and much better than result (didn't see out 21f on heavy) in Grand Sefton at Aintree. Interesting.
5th
5th (11) Barton Knoll (28/1 -12%)
Barton Knoll

28/1(-12%)
(11) Barton Knoll 28/1, All the better for his C&D return when seeing off 8 rivals at Doncaster (19f) in November. Suspicion a 7 lb higher mark may find him out in this deeper race on his first outing since.
6th
6th (13) Another Crick (8/1 +27%)
Another Crick

8/1(+27%)
(13) Another Crick 8/1, Looked a chaser going places in 2018/19, including a course win. Missed all of last season but latest Warwick fourth in a competitive handicap suggests his ability remains.
7th
7th (10) Born Survivor (14/1 +0%)
Born Survivor

14/1(+0%)
(10) Born Survivor 14/1, Smart chaser at his best. Some way removed from that so far this season but mark has come down 11 lb since the start of the campaign and yard's very good recent form provides hope for revival.
8th
8th (1) Capeland (40/1 -60%)
Capeland

40/1(-60%)
(1) Capeland 40/1, Enhanced excellent record at Wincanton when winning there (2½m) in January. Hampered early and probably worth forgiving his subsequent Ascot run. Career best needed under top weight, though.
9th
9th (2) Grand Sancy (6/1 -33%)
Grand Sancy

6/1(-33%)
(2) Grand Sancy 6/1, Smart hurdler and quickly reached same level over fences, winning 19.5f Chepstow listed on return. Disappointed at Wincanton 4 weeks later but freshened up since and yard has excellent record in this.
|U|
|U| (14) The Russian Doyen (16/1 +0%)
The Russian Doyen

16/1(+0%)
(14) The Russian Doyen 16/1, Jumping has held him back over fences of late but he did win a 2m course handicap off 6 lb higher in early-2019 and it's possible a change of yard (has left Colin Tizzard) could spark a revival.
10th
10th (6) Gala Ball (25/1 -14%)
Gala Ball

25/1(-14%)
(6) Gala Ball 25/1, Confirmed himself as good as ever when runner-up on C&D return in November but all of a sudden has something to prove after 2 very disappointing runs since. Refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces.
11th
11th (8) Pistol Whipped (7/1 +42%)
Pistol Whipped

7/1(+42%)
(8) Pistol Whipped 7/1, Didn't go on from winning chase debut last term but got his career back on track when second on 20.5f Kempton return in January. Needs to prove he can build on that given what happened last season.
12th
12th (4) Windsor Avenue (16/1 +20%)
Windsor Avenue

16/1(+20%)
(4) Windsor Avenue 16/1, Smart performer but his record this season is patchy, following third in Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby over Christmas with poor run at Ascot. First-time headgear combination needs to make difference.
13th
13th (5) Gold Present (66/1 -65%)
Gold Present

66/1(-65%)
(5) Gold Present 66/1, Smart handicap chaser at his best but those days look behind him and suspicion he'll find this a bit too competitive for his liking nowadays.

Tegerek

Sofia's Rock

50/1(-52%)
(1) Sofia's Rock 50/1, Useful on Flat and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles in 2018/19, winning twice. Raced too freely when well held in handicap at Cheltenham final start last term. Off 13 months.

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.
