1st (6)  (2/1 +27%)Sophosc |
2/1(+27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sophosc 2/1, Fairly useful performer on Flat (stays 13.5f), who did quite well over inadequate trip last time. Makes hurdles debut and likely player on Flat ability. | |||
2nd (5)  (12/1 +57%)Save Face |
12/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Save Face 12/1, Maiden Irish pointer who was always behind in maiden hurdle at Fontwell 7 weeks ago. | |||
3rd (7)  (5/1 +9%)Tip Top Tonto |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tip Top Tonto 5/1, Hinted at ability in bumpers but was let down by his jumping sent hurdling at Taunton on yard debut last month. | |||
4th (8)  (4/1 +38%)Pure Bubbles |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pure Bubbles 4/1, Fair maiden on Flat though seems to be going the wrong way temperamentally. First go over hurdles here and ones from this yard can never be discounted. | |||
5th (2)  (18/1 -50%)Blood Eagle |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blood Eagle 18/1, Poor maiden hurdler. Off 6 months. | |||
6th (4)  (4.5/1 +18%)Psyche |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Psyche 4.5/1, Fair on Flat nowadays, stays 13f, runner-up last 2 starts. Claims if taking to this game at the first attempt. | |||
|F| (1)  (7.5/1 -150%)Alioski |
7.5/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alioski 7.5/1, Modest Flat winner who has got better with each run over hurdles, second here in September. Decent effort back on the Flat on first start since at Wolverhampton last month and sets a fair standard back in this sphere. | |||
|PU| (9)  (80/1 -142%)Springar |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Springar 80/1, No encouragement in bumpers. | |||
|PU| (3)  (500/1 -150%)Haraz |
500/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Haraz 500/1, Poor on the Flat nowadays and makes little appeal on belated debut in this sphere. |

1st (3)  (5.5/1 -83%)Royal Ruby |
5.5/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Ruby 5.5/1, Fair winning hurdler who defied an 18-month absence in some style on chase debut at Stratford last July. Mixed round of jumping on both outings since, latest when fourth at Huntingdon 3 months ago. Off since but can go well fresh. | |||
2nd (1)  (10/1 +0%)Shentri |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shentri 10/1, Went down fighting when edged out in first-time cheekpieces over fences at Warwick in September but well below that level on both subsequent outings (latest over hurdles). Returns back over the larger obstacles and likely to find a few too strong. | |||
3rd (7)  (7.5/1 +12%)Catch The Cuban |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Catch The Cuban 7.5/1, Hit and miss profile overall but he had been holding his form over winter and gained reward with victory at Taunton back in November. Not on a going day back there a fortnight later and having had a wind op since, he will need to hit the ground running on return to feature. | |||
4th (2)  (12/1 +33%)Dindin |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dindin 12/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles/fences in France, winning listed chase at Nantes in October. Below form since, far too free when pulled up early in straight on first start for this yard at Exeter 24 days ago. Down 4 lb but percentage call is to look elsewhere. | |||
5th (6)  (2.75/1 -10%)Salamanca School |
2.75/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Salamanca School 2.75/1, Showed the benefit of a recent run to double his tally in an incident-packed race over C&D 3 weeks ago, not left with a great deal to beat but jumping efficiently out in front nonetheless. 7 lb rise to contend with but expected to be in the mix. | |||
|F| (4)  (3.5/1 -27%)Mystical Clouds |
3.5/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mystical Clouds 3.5/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to record a first success for over 2 years at Newcastle in March. Shorter trip probably against him at Kempton next time and he's one for the shortlist with the step back up in distance sure to be in his favour. | |||
|PU| (5)  (4.5/1 +68%)The Flying Sofa |
4.5/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Flying Sofa 4.5/1, Just fair form over fences last season but ran no sort of race when pulled up mid-race over hurdles in selling handicap at Fakenham 5 days ago. Quick enough turnaround and hopes pinned on a return to the larger obstacles sparking a revival. |

14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Our Three Sons 14/1, Lost his way over hurdles for Jamie Snowden in 2019 and offered little back under Rules for new stable at Stratford in March. Has lots to prove at present. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +25%)Danzini |
2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Danzini 2.25/1, Not fully exposed and in the frame on all 3 handicap starts, the latest over 20.5f here. Steps up significantly in trip now. | |||
3rd (2)  (4.5/1 -157%)The Tin Miner |
4.5/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Tin Miner 4.5/1, In the frame on all 6 outings last season, going down by only a short head over C&D on latest start 3 weeks ago. Left on the same mark. Another prominent showing likely. | |||
4th (3)  (12/1 -33%)Bonanza Sam |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bonanza Sam 12/1, Chase winner off this mark in blinkers during his time with Jennifer Mason. Left her yard after pulling up at Wincanton in December. Needs keeping a close eye on in the betting on first outing for a stable which does so well here. Has cheekpieces on first time. | |||
5th (6)  (2.5/1 +38%)Mr Woody |
2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mr Woody 2.5/1, Responded well to blinkers when runner-up in big-field Uttoxeter handicap last May. Not in the same form at Southwell 18 days later. Off since but has joined another top yard ahead of this return to action. Market support could prove significant. | |||
6th (1)  (4.5/1 +18%)D'Jango |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) D'Jango 4.5/1, Pretty useful chaser in France. Not close to that level for new yard but he has been runner-up in handicap hurdles on 2 of his last 3 starts and ought to be competitive again. | |||
7th (9)  (40/1 -60%)Invincible Cave |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Invincible Cave 40/1, Temperamental sort. C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Fontwell 40 days ago. Bounce back needed returned to hurdles. | |||
|PU| (8)  (50/1 +0%)Soarlikeaneagle |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Soarlikeaneagle 50/1, Sole win from 24 starts came at Fontwell last April but he wasn't in anything like the same form this time round, finishing last of 7. 2 lb out of handicap. Others preferred. |

1st (4)  (5.5/1 -57%)Tamaroc Du Mathan |
5.5/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tamaroc Du Mathan 5.5/1, Grade 2 novice chase winner. Ran his best race since when second in valuable Newbury handicap over this trip in March. Excuses in the Topham last time and couldn't be dismissed here. | |||
2nd (5)  (18/1 +0%)Mercian Prince |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mercian Prince 18/1, Successful twice in first half of last season and goes in the re-fitted cheekpieces he wore when he won this in 2019. One to consider. (Ran in void race here April 18th). | |||
3rd (7)  (3/1 +57%)Mahler's Promise |
3/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mahler's Promise 3/1, Had a fine first season over fences, winning at Newton Abbot (21f) and another good run from the front in valuable Haydock handicap 3 weeks ago. Respected. | |||
4th (6)  (10/1 -25%)Rose Sea Has |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rose Sea Has 10/1, Proved consistent last term and on a hat-trick after March wins at Fontwell and Wetherby. Seems sure to go well if staying longer trip. (Ran in void race here April 18th). | |||
5th (2)  (2.75/1 -22%)Slate House |
2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Slate House 2.75/1, Revitalised by the drop in trip of late, winning 18f handicaps at Kempton in good style. Remains well treated on best form under a penalty and lots to like in hat-trick bid. | |||
|U| (1)  (20/1 +0%)Us And Them |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Us And Them 20/1, Smart handicap chaser who proved unreliable for Joseph O'Brien (just 1-23 over fences, though twice placed at the Cheltenham Festival). Has had a wind op since last seen in July and different headgear tried on return. Interesting. | |||
|PU| (3)  (3/1 +40%)Annual Invictus |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Annual Invictus 3/1, Winner of 2 of his first 3 starts over fences and fair efforts back here and at Ascot (Grade 2, first-time cheekpieces) last twice. Can go well back in a handicap. (Ran in void race here April 18th). |

1st (4)  (3/1 +25%)Thibault |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Thibault 3/1, Back to winning ways in small-field Fontwell handicap in March. Found a competitive Aintree handicap too much next time but showed he's still in good form with a Chepstow Flat win 10 days ago. | |||
2nd (6)  (18/1 -50%)Warranty |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Warranty 18/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and made a fine yard/handicap debut when narrowly beaten at Fontwell in March. Pulled up at Kempton since, though. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -9%)Reserve Tank |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Reserve Tank 6/1, Inconsistent sort who has drawn a blank since winning a Wincanton Grade 2 in November 2019. Not enough promise in his recent hurdle efforts to suggest he's likely to snap that losing run here. | |||
4th (2)  (1.2/1 +31%)Sainte Doctor |
1.2/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sainte Doctor 1.2/1, French Flat winner who has raised her game in this sphere following a breathing op/fitting of a tongue strap, scoring at Uttoxeter and over C&D this spring. Further 7 lb rise unlikely to prevent her making a bold bid for the hat-trick. | |||
5th (5)  (33/1 -230%)Hypnotik |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hypnotik 33/1, Bumper/hurdle winner in France. Last seen pulling up in a Compiegne chase in November. Joined a good stable and would come into it if the betting speaks in his favour. | |||
6th (3)  (5/1 -25%)Smurphy Enki |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Smurphy Enki 5/1, Below par on both starts since his Boxing Day second at Fontwell but he's been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper as a result and it would be no surprise were he to stage a revival. |

1st (5)  (10/1 +17%)Systemic |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Systemic 10/1, Still a maiden in this sphere, and cheekpieces on when last of 7 on the level at Goodwood 9 days ago. Others are preferred. | |||
2nd (1)  (4/1 +50%)Sambezi |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sambezi 4/1, Got back on track after a wind op (tongue strap also on) when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f) 20 days ago. Needs to back it up now. | |||
3rd (2)  (2.5/1 +29%)Sami Bear |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sami Bear 2.5/1, Got off the mark with career-best effort in 18f handicap hurdle here 20 days ago. Up 6 lb but he still merits consideration. | |||
4th (3)  (1.88/1 -88%)Kolisi |
1.88/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kolisi 1.88/1, Fairly useful on Flat and he's on the up in this sphere, readily completing his hat-trick at Exeter 24 days ago. Hit with another 7 lb rise but he's still weighted to go in again back in trip. | |||
5th (4)  (5.5/1 +35%)Wells Glory |
5.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wells Glory 5.5/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who was placed on his first two starts over hurdles. Had breathing surgery before a heavy defeat on handicap debut behind Sami Bear here 20 days ago (not knocked about). Visor on 1st time and remains with potential. | |||
6th (8)  (80/1 -60%)Uae Soldier |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Uae Soldier 80/1, Poor maiden hurdler who came in last of 10 in 1m handicap at Lingfield on Flat 39 days ago. Has lots to find reverted to hurdles from 8 lb out of the weights. | |||
|PU| (9)  (50/1 +0%)Devious Dicks Dame |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Devious Dicks Dame 50/1, C&D winner who quickly reverts to hurdles having offered little on her chasing bow when fourth of 5 here (17f) 21 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. |

1.38/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Blame The Game 1.38/1, Capitalised on a handy mark over hurdles here 20 days ago and, while his chase record is pretty uninspiring, the handicapper has given him a big chance, so he could take this. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 +0%)Tikk Tock Boom |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tikk Tock Boom 7.5/1, On a good mark judged on past efforts and latest third at Stratford was a bit better, so she's not without hope. | |||
3rd (7)  (14/1 +30%)Auld Sod |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Auld Sod 14/1, Limited sort who looks up against it from out of the weights. | |||
4th (6)  (4.5/1 +10%)Hoot At Midnight |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hoot At Midnight 4.5/1, Lost her maiden tag at Fontwell in November and could be forgiven a poor run at Lingfield (had been on the go a long time) since. Warrants respect back from 5 months off. | |||
|PU| (2)  (6.5/1 -8%)Uallrightharry |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Uallrightharry 6.5/1, C&D winner who found his run of good form coming to an abrupt halt when pulled up here 3 weeks ago. He's the type to bounce back quickly, though. Change of headgear. | |||
|PU| (3)  (8.5/1 +6%)Prairie Town |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Prairie Town 8.5/1, Unreliable sort who scored again at Leicester in January. Hasn't fired since although did win this last year. | |||
|PU| (1)  (9/1 +10%)Wick Green |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wick Green 9/1, Multiple point winner who has scored a couple of times under Rules and wasn't discredited at Exeter last time. He struggles for consistency, however. |

3/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Times Are Blue 3/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Dam, point winner, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 31f) Rocky Bender. Stable going well and considered on debut. | |||
2nd (1)  (0.91/1 +9%)El Muchacho |
0.91/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) El Muchacho 0.91/1, £50,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, French 17f-3m hurdle/chase winner (including Group 1), half-sister to smart hurdler (stays 2½m) Le Patriote. Wears tongue strap. Lots to like on paper, and point winner last month. Interesting newcomer. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.25/1 -50%)Red Windsor |
2.25/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Red Windsor 2.25/1, Placed on all his three starts in bumpers, staying-on third of 6 at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) 80 days ago. Staying type. Holds good claims. | |||
4th (2)  (40/1 +39%)Razzo Italiano |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Razzo Italiano 40/1, Offered little when fifth of 6 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, soft, 125/1) 81 days ago. Big step forward is required. | |||
5th (4)  (66/1 +34%)The Red Cleric |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Red Cleric 66/1, 66/1, last of 13 in bumper at Stratford 8 months ago. Lots more needed. |

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.
