2nd (10)  (5.5/1 +31%)Turpin Gold |
5.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Turpin Gold 5.5/1, Fair in bumpers and stepped up on her hurdling debut when third in a 15.8f novice at Uttoxeter in early July. More needed for win purposes, though. | |||

9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Duesenberg 9/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1m) who was given a considerate introduction to hurdling with a hood fitted after 12 months off when sixth at Worcester (2m) 37 days ago. Entitled to do better. | |||
5th (2)  (22/1 +12%)Bbob Alula |

28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Testflight 28/1, Cheap purchase who showed more than on debut when third in 6-runner bumper at Newton Abbot in June but failed to repeat that effort at Warwick the following month. Makes hurdles debut. | |||
9th (6)  (125/1 -56%)Productive |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Productive 125/1, Poor maiden on Flat so makes little appeal. | |||

2.75/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coal Stock 2.75/1, Fairly useful 19f winner over hurdles for Joe Tizzard. Not disgraced on his yard/chasing debut when fourth of 6 in a C&D handicap last month but he failed to build on that fitted with blinkers at Bangor. | |||
2nd (1)  (6/1 +0%)El Paso Wood |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) El Paso Wood 6/1, Just the one win for this yard upon his transfer from France last year. Recent efforts have lacked spark but this is a slight drop in class. | |||

1.88/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lock's Corner 1.88/1, Stopped the slide on the back of another wind operation when second of 6 at Worcester last month. Up 3 lb but retains plenty of handicap scope now he's back in some sort of form. | |||

2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Helford River 2/1, Won a pair of 3-runner events on his first 2 starts over fences but profile has been patchy since. |

4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Litterale Ci 4/1, Strike rate has taken a hit in recent times but stuck at it pretty well when second of 3 at Ludlow in March.

2nd (5)  (5.5/1 +21%)Vision Des Flos |
5.5/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Vision Des Flos 5.5/1, Running creditably when falling heavily 3 out in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft, 7/2) 59 days ago, looking booked for third at the time. Back over hurdles now and eased a further 2 lb. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.5/1 +8%)Hooper |
1.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hooper 1.5/1, Useful hurdler who posted respectable third of 7 at Stratford (16.3f, good) 41 days ago, going in snatches. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on for 1st time. Has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of his form. | |||
4th (2)  (3.5/1 -17%)Dandy Mag |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dandy Mag 3.5/1, Stopped the slide when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 62 days ago, well positioned. Possibilities if building on that. | |||
|PU| (6)  (9/1 +25%)Al Roc |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Al Roc 9/1, Four chase wins in a productive summer but has run poorly last 3 starts, including over hurdles the last twice. | |||

20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eritage 20/1, Dual-handicap chase winner in 2020/21 and signed off time with Paul Nicholls with a ready success at this venue in May. Well held on both completed starts for this yard though, so has a lot to prove at present. |

1st (5)  (3/1 +10%)Romanor |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Romanor 3/1, Headstrong sort who showed fine attitude when scoring over C&D in June. Left impression he should have gone closer when third over C&D latest. Has had wind surgery. Much respected. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.25/1 +32%)Mercian Prince |
2.25/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mercian Prince 2.25/1, Hurdle/chase winner in the first half of last season. Good second over C&D in June and has won and finished second over hurdles in France since then. Should give another good account. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.38/1 +39%)Bathiva |
1.38/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bathiva 1.38/1, Useful chaser who returned to hurdles to win in novice company at Southwell last month and better than even when dominating a small field back over fences at Worcester since. Faces competition for the lead this time but should still go well. | |||
|U| (2)  (8/1 -23%)Leapaway |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Leapaway 8/1, Largely reliable, including a win at Warwick in May, which suggests it won't take him too long to bounce back from a below-form fourth at Worcestrer last month. |

2nd (5)  (7.5/1 -200%)Loved Out |
7.5/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Loved Out 7.5/1, Scored at Ffos Las in June but only twelfth in Flat handicap there 18 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with a bit to prove back hurdling. | |||
3rd (4)  (3/1 +25%)Maria Magdalena |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Maria Magdalena 3/1, Twelve runs since last success in 2019. but she posted a very good third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 29 days ago. Winner has gone in since so she has to be taken seriously off a 1 lb lower mark. | |||
4th (2)  (4.5/1 +18%)Faint Hope |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Faint Hope 4.5/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Worcester (20f, good) 25 days ago. In the mix eased 1 lb now. | |||

6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidden Depths 6/1, Two wins from 4 runs last season. Only fourth of 5 in handicap at Bath (14f) 39 days ago though so more is needed back in this sphere. | |||

14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Every Breakin Wave 14/1, C&D winner but pulled up in handicap hurdle (10/1) at this C&D (good) 40 days ago, losing touch before 4 out. Needs to get right back on track. |

1.75/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Restandbethankful 1.75/1, Bumper winner who gained third victory over hurdles in a Huntingdon handicap in December. Well below that level next 2 starts but resumed progress after 3 months off when 7 lengths second of 4 to Byzantine Empire on chase bow at Southwell. Folded tamely behind that rival at Perth. | |||

22/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Treacys Jim 22/1, Poor maiden chaser who is out of his depth. |

4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Karannelle 4.5/1, In fine form last month, runner-up at Worcester prior to bagging handicaps at this course and Market Rasen. This struggled off this mark twice since, however. | |||
3rd (1)  (10/1 +9%)Cadeau D'or |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cadeau D'or 10/1, Fairly useful 10f Flat winner for Andrew Balding who showed a bit in a couple of novice/maiden hurdles.

28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Borak 28/1, Sprang a surprise when making a successful start for this yard at Newton Abbot in September but has been out of form since, including on the Flat. | |||

7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Snug As A Bug 7.5/1, Winner at Newton Abbot in September. Ended the season out of sorts, though, and was pulled up at Uttoxeter on reappearance a couple of months ago. | |||

1.75/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Captain Square 1.75/1, Fair on the Flat for Andrew Balding and already a dual winner in juvenile hurdles. Gets a generous amount of weight for age, and may do better still, so boasts leading claims. | |||

100/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) To Dream 100/1, No show on the Flat and it's been a similar story over hurdles, so hard to make any sort of case for. | |||

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.
