(3)  (0.67/1 +16%)Soft Risk |
0.67/1(+16%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Soft Risk 0.67/1, Easy winner of Ayr bumper on debut in May and again looked a good prospect when taking a maiden hurdle at the same course (2m) on return last month. The one to beat. | |||
1st (2)  (0.62/1 +85%)Since Day One |
0.62/1(+85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Since Day One 0.62/1, Promise on Rules debut fourth in a Carlisle bumper and duly improved starting out over hurdles when landing a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago. Further progress likely and he's a big player. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 +14%)East Street |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) East Street 3/1, Runner-up on second of his 2 starts in maiden points and made a winning Rules debut in 2m Wetherby novice last month. More needed here under a penalty, but he's open to improvement. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 +50%)King Of Unicorns |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) King Of Unicorns 4/1, Improved when making it third time lucky in bumpers here last month. More on his plate now switched to hurdles, but interesting to see how he gets on. | |||
5th (5)  (50/1 +24%)Black Minster |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Black Minster 50/1, Winning start in AW bumper here in January, but little impact both starts since, including on hurdles bow at Aintree when last seen during the spring. | |||
6th (9)  (50/1 -100%)Cresswell Queen |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cresswell Queen 50/1, Unplaced in an Irish point and little impact under Rules so far. | |||
7th (8)  (100/1 +0%)Uncle Gez |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Uncle Gez 100/1, Well held in bumpers 5 months apart and failed to pull up any trees switched to hurdles at Kelso recently. | |||
8th (4)  (80/1 +20%)Ballytobin |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballytobin 80/1, Well held in a pair of Irish bumpers and similar story in Kelso novice events earlier this year. |

1st (3)  (5/1 -43%)Planned Paradise |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Planned Paradise 5/1, Second of 2 finishers sole start in Irish points (Dec 2020). Better effort in maiden hurdles when sixth at Worcester on debut for this yard in June and type to do better now handicapping. | |||
2nd (4)  (9/1 +25%)Les's Legacy |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Les's Legacy 9/1, Maiden who fared as well as could be expected from well out of the weights when fourth of 6 at Musselburgh 12 days ago. Back on his correct mark here. | |||
3rd (9)  (3.5/1 +50%)Brickadank |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Brickadank 3.5/1, Still to get his head in front but he posted good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f) in October. Didn't finish race off with much conviction here last week but return to 2m will suit. | |||
4th (8)  (3.2/1 +51%)Edmond Dantes |
3.2/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Edmond Dantes 3.2/1, Tailed off in a 4-y-o hurdle in France but having undergone a breathing operation, he has hinted at better to come in handicaps this autumn. Unexposed and one to consider. | |||
5th (10)  (7.5/1 -50%)Baraboy |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Baraboy 7.5/1, Back to peak fitness on third start back from a lengthy absence when landing handicap hurdle at Hexham last month. Fair third at Sedgefield since and he can remain competitive. | |||
6th (6)  (12/1 -9%)Lleyton |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lleyton 12/1, Not straightforward and was again disappointing (had his supporters) at Wetherby in March. Pulled up on reappearance 16 days ago so has a lot to prove. | |||
7th (2)  (11/1 +56%)Hajey |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hajey 11/1, Modest maiden on Flat who is not straightforward and has gone backwards from a mildly encouraging hurdling debut in March. | |||
8th (5)  (66/1 -32%)Jess's Corner |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jess's Corner 66/1, Yet to win a race of any description and hard to get excited about both efforts for this yard in recent weeks. | |||
9th (7)  (28/1 +15%)Stowaway John |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Stowaway John 28/1, Displayed ability in bumpers for Ronald O'Neill but yet to make any impact over hurdles for current yard, often failing to impress with his jumping. | |||
10th (1)  (7/1 -155%)Royal Reserve |
7/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Royal Reserve 7/1, Well held both starts over fences returning from a lengthy lay-off in May. Bit more like it returned to timber when third at Ayr fitted with headgear last month and he's a previous C&D winner. | |||
11th (11)  (100/1 -203%)Filou D'anjou |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Filou D'anjou 100/1, Looks limited and he's 8 lb out of the weights. |

1st (1)  (1.62/1 -95%)Bavington Bob |
1.62/1(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bavington Bob 1.62/1, Made it 3 handicap hurdle wins in a row when getting up close home on return at Hexham. Encouraging enough start over fences when runner-up at Sedgefield (21f) and a bold show is on the cards here. | |||
2nd (3)  (4.5/1 -29%)Houston Texas |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Houston Texas 4.5/1, Winner at third attempt in Irish points, but offered little in 3 starts for Alistair Whillans last season and effort on return/debut for new yard in a Kelso novice hurdle wasn't overly encouraging. | |||
3rd (4)  (14/1 +13%)Choctaw Brave |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Choctaw Brave 14/1, Placed multiple times in Irish points, but no show in a trio of novice hurdles and vast improvement needed now tackling the larger obstacles. | |||
4th (2)  (1.25/1 +50%)Tango Boy |
1.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tango Boy 1.25/1, Bumper winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles. Possibly needed the run on return/chase debut at Worcester (16.5f) and needs considering back up in trip here off a 3 lb lower mark. |

8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Valence D'Aumont 8/1, Scored at Kelso in May but his form has been in and out since, last of 4 in 19f handicap at Doncaster 22 days ago. More is needed now. | |||
2nd (6)  (2.5/1 +62%)Scottish Accent |
2.5/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scottish Accent 2.5/1, Gained breakthrough win at Carlisle in February. Had wind op but he looked rusty after 8 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Much respected with cheekpieces refitted now. | |||
3rd (3)  (3.33/1 -33%)Fete Champetre |
3.33/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fete Champetre 3.33/1, Fairly useful hurdle winner who has made a promising start over fences, runner-up in 2m Ayr handicap 26 days ago. He looks to have more to offer, and is weighted to go one better. | |||
4th (2)  (5/1 -67%)Brelan D'As |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brelan D'As 5/1, C&D winner but he jumped less well than usual when last of 3 in 2m handicap at Doncaster 22 days ago. Sort to bounce back. | |||
5th (1)  (3.5/1 -17%)Defi Sacre |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Defi Sacre 3.5/1, Back to form when fourth of 5 in minor chase at Fontainebleau (17.9f) 19 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces now, and he can't be ruled out off an easing mark. | |||
6th (5)  (9/1 +25%)Ard Chros |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ard Chros 9/1, More miss than hit since his Carlisle success 13 months ago, though he looked rusty after 8 months off when fifth of 10 in 23f handicap at Kelso 13 days ago. He needs a big step forward. |

3.33/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Headscarf Lil 3.33/1, Back on the scoresheet when getting on top close home over 2½m at Carlisle in October. Matched that when third over extended 3m there since and sound each-way claims again. | |||
2nd (4)  (6.5/1 +0%)Off The Hook |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Off The Hook 6.5/1, Losing run is mounting up but she arrives here having run well re-united with present stable when third at Ayr (20.5f) last month. May have tightened up a little for that | |||
3rd (6)  (3.5/1 +22%)Rubytwo |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rubytwo 3.5/1, Bounced back to best in first-time blinkers when beaten only by an improver at Sedgefield (19.8f) 3 weeks ago. 2-lb rise shouldn't prevent another good showing. Respected. | |||
4th (7)  (4.5/1 +44%)Sophie Olivia |
4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sophie Olivia 4.5/1, Winning hurdler/chaser, but very lightly-raced in recent years and she failed to live up to market expectations on return/debut for new yard at Hexham (16.2f) last month. | |||
5th (8)  (18/1 +10%)Lissen To The Lady |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lissen To The Lady 18/1, Kelso winner in May who ran better than on return when midfield in a 12-runner handicap here (23.7f) last month, running on. However, drop back in trip may not help on evidence of that run. | |||
6th (3)  (8/1 -23%)West End Lady |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) West End Lady 8/1, Off 5 months before opening account in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham in October. Not disgraced either start in novice company since and no reason why she won't go well again. | |||
7th (2)  (9/1 -38%)Fiadh |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fiadh 9/1, Bumper winner who landed a weak C&D mares' maiden hurdle last month. Creditable third under a penalty at Kelso (20.8f) subsequently and switch to handicaps rates more suitable now. |

4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Avoid De Master 4/1, Fair handicap hurdler for Fergal O'Brien and similar form over fences for this yard when runner-up in handicaps at Musselburgh and Hexham last month. | |||
2nd (3)  (7.5/1 +6%)Maid O'Malley |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Maid O'Malley 7.5/1, Maiden but was in good form when last seen in the spring, finishing second at Carlisle and Wetherby. Much depends on whether she's primed after 9 months off. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.88/1 -36%)Trooper Turnbull |
1.88/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Trooper Turnbull 1.88/1, Hurdle winner who struck at the second time of asking over fences in 2m Wetherby handicap last month. Did that cosily and should have more to come so fancied to defy 5 lb rise. | |||
4th (2)  (2.5/1 +9%)Burrows Diamond |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Burrows Diamond 2.5/1, Improved form over hurdles during spring, winning pair of handicaps. Second on chase debut and looked set to run another good race when falling 4 out in Wetherby contest won by Trooper Turnbull. | |||
5th (5)  (6.5/1 +7%)Ugo Du Misselot |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ugo Du Misselot 6.5/1, Has reached the frame in a pair of 2m handicap hurdle in recent weeks. Unexposed now chasing (likely would have won his sole point but for falling last). |

1.2/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Trolley Boy 1.2/1, Strong in the betting and showed plenty to work on when second at Market Rasen a couple of months ago. That form is proving very strong, so he's well worth a chance to go one better. | |||
2nd (3)  (5/1 +23%)Iceman Dennis |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Iceman Dennis 5/1, £24,000 3-y-o, Spanish Moon gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler/top-class chaser Cilaos Emery and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Amalfi Doug, stays 3¼m. Obvious player. | |||
3rd (2)  (22/1 -120%)Bolton |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bolton 22/1, Eagle Top gelding. Half-brother to 11f-17f winner Another Lincolnday (by Desideratum): dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/winner sole start over fences (stayed 25f) My Arch. Considered. | |||
4th (1)  (3/1 +0%)Le Fils De Force |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Le Fils De Force 3/1, Flat-bred gelding who confirmed debut promise when opening his account at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, going away at the finish. Promising conditional negates the penalty, so he makes plenty of appeal. | |||
5th (9)  (9/1 +50%)Belleloise |
9/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Belleloise 9/1, Blue Bresil filly. Dam (c89/h103) 2m-3¼m hurdle/chase winner. Pedigree suggests he will need more time and distance. | |||
6th (5)  (22/1 -83%)Nortonthorpebanker |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nortonthorpebanker 22/1, Charming Thought gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 5f/6f winner Waking Warrior. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) April Allegro. Worth a market check. | |||
7th (4)  (16/1 +0%)Mr Mccall |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mr Mccall 16/1, Has a speedy Flat pedigree and, while he appeared to see out 13f when fourth to Le Fils de Force at Doncaster first time out, it's hard to envisage him reversing form with that rival. | |||
8th (11)  (150/1 -355%)Redesdale Angel |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Redesdale Angel 150/1, Half-sister to 4 winners on the Flat but her debut at Wetherby lacked promise, so hard to imagine she'll make any sort of impact. | |||
9th (7)  (18/1 -50%)Snow Joeking |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Snow Joeking 18/1, Snow Sky gelding. Dam, little impact in points, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Imjoeking and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Go Odee Go. | |||
10th (6)  (50/1 -100%)Profiles Mix |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Profiles Mix 50/1, Has a moderate pedigree and finished down the field having pulled hard at Aintree first time out. Others make more appeal. | |||
11th (10)  (100/1 -355%)Mayway |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mayway 100/1, Didn't offer much on debut at Market Rasen and, while there was a bit more encouragement in her Wetherby forth a couple of weeks ago, there's still a chunk of improvement to find if he's to feature. |

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.
