1st (4)  (4/1 -20%)Alien Storm |
4/1(-20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Alien Storm 4/1, Getaway gelding from good jumping family. Improved with each outing in bumpers, held only late on when second in 4-runner event here (17.7f) 4 weeks ago. Should make his mark over timber and interesting if strong in betting. Yard in good form. | |||
2nd (5)  (4/1 +33%)Our Champ |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Our Champ 4/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Successful sole start in points and showed plenty when finishing close fourth on Rules/bumper debut at Killarney (17f) back in May. Has since switched yards ahead of hurdles bow and the betting should prove a useful guide. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.88/1 -7%)Rewired |
1.88/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rewired 1.88/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat who opened hurdles account at fourth attempt in a Fakenham maiden (2m) in March. Good third in juvenile handicap later that month and experience could count for a good deal on return. | |||
4th (3)  (1.88/1 +32%)Kilfilum Woods |
1.88/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kilfilum Woods 1.88/1, Acquired for £70,000 after finishing third in a point. Fair form when midfield in Huntingdon bumper in March and similarly offered something to work on when second in 4-runner Kempton maiden hurdle (21f) in May. Feasible to see him build on that. | |||
5th (2)  (200/1 +20%)Haraz |
200/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Haraz 200/1, Poor on the Flat nowadays and he made mistakes at first 2 hurdles prior to saddle slipping when pulled up in a C&D maiden hurdle on his penultimate start in May. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |

1st (1)  (2.5/1 +17%)Ozzie Man |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ozzie Man 2.5/1, Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts in bumpers at Fontwell in February 2021. Failed to build on hurdles debut promise at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) when last seen 12 months ago but this former point winner is of strong interest now switched to fences. | |||
2nd (5)  (1.25/1 +38%)Who Is That |
1.25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Who Is That 1.25/1, Offered little over hurdles but looked the most likely winner when falling at the last on second chase start at Fontwell in March. Made amends when landing a 4-runner handicap chase back at Fontwell (19.5f, good) on recent reappearance and nudged up just 2 lb for that. | |||
3rd (2)  (12/1 -85%)Abaya Du Mathan |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Abaya Du Mathan 12/1, Creditable third on second run following a wind op when third of 12 at Worcester (23f, good) in August. Well held both completed starts but he's now 2 lb below the mark off which he hit the target over a similar trip to this at Ffos Las during the spring. | |||
4th (3)  (18/1 -100%)Notnow Seamus |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Notnow Seamus 18/1, Good strike rate over hurdles (5-11) but most recent success in that sphere was back in September 2018 and chase record stands at 0-12. On the upside, the handicapper is cutting this 11-y-o some slack (11 lb lower than he was this time last year). | |||
|F| (6)  (3.33/1 -48%)Agent Saonois |
3.33/1(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Agent Saonois 3.33/1, Opened hurdles account when scoring at Uttoxeter and positive enough start over fences when runner-up over this C&D (good to firm) last month. Possibilities off the same mark if able to build on that. |

1st (2)  (2.25/1 +36%)Cornicello |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cornicello 2.25/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in Germany and has made the frame on all 5 completed starts over hurdles, including when fourth on return in a 10-runner novice at Warwick (2m, good) where he was considerately handled. Remains capable of better and he has to enter calculations. | |||
2nd (4)  (5.5/1 +69%)Henry Box Brown |
5.5/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Henry Box Brown 5.5/1, Winner of a Wexford bumper on debut/sole start in Ireland and he was a good third on his handicap bow in this sphere at Fontwell in May. Form has nosedived since, though, and others are more appealing. | |||
3rd (8)  (5/1 +23%)Encashment |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Encashment 5/1, Still seeking first taste of success following 11 attempts in this sphere. Conversely, she's finished in the money on 6 of her 8 starts since switched to handicaps and it's not hard to envisage her play a part in the finish. | |||
4th (7)  (3.5/1 +36%)Hill Station |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hill Station 3.5/1, Gambled on and all set to make a winning hurdles bow when coming down at the last at Newton Abbot in June. Recent defeat in a Fontwell juvenile event (17.7f, good) was at the hands of a progressive type who was completing the hat-trick, and he's of strong interest now pitched into a handicap. | |||
5th (1)  (3/1 -20%)Mordred |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mordred 3/1, Dual Flat winner who opened hurdles account at the seventh attempt here last month. Only needed the one attempt to get it right over fences, making a successful chase debut at Sedgefield (17f, good to soft) 9 days later, and should remain competitive back in this sphere, despite going up 7 lb. | |||
6th (3)  (25/1 -127%)Martin Spirit |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Martin Spirit 25/1, Winner over fences in France and while initial efforts for present yard were poor, he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue strap when second in a Fontwell handicap hurdle (17.7f, good) in May. However, record in this sphere stands at 0-17 and goes without headgear this time. | |||
7th (6)  (40/1 +0%)Many Words |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Many Words 40/1, Very modest form in this sphere to date and recent effort on the Flat at Brighton was hardly inspiring. |

1st (5)  (1.1/1 +45%)Pasvolsky |
1.1/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pasvolsky 1.1/1, Winner of a match over C&D on his second chase start in December. Well held in that sphere next time and on his return when fifth of 7 over hurdles at Fontwell in May. Handily weighted though if resurgent after a break. | |||
2nd (6)  (1.2/1 +56%)Fairway Freddy |
1.2/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fairway Freddy 1.2/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Won 7-runner handicap chase at Stratford (20.9f, good, 40/1) 2 days ago. Not discounted on the back of that. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -50%)I See You Well |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) I See You Well 6/1, Enjoyed a productive 2021/22 campaign, gaining his third win at Fontwell (26f) in April. Consistent sort so he's not reuled out on his seasonal return. |

1st (2)  (2/1 +43%)Mark Of Gold |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mark Of Gold 2/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat who took well to hurdles last term, scoring for third time in 2m Newbury handicap in April. One to consider for his in-form yard on his comeback start. | |||
2nd (6)  (10/1 -11%)Tara Iti |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tara Iti 10/1, Fair 1m winner on the level for Ed Dunlop who scored twice over C&D for his current yard early in 2022. Yard is going well so he's not ruled out despite a seven-month absence. | |||
3rd (3)  (3.5/1 -17%)Overpriced Mixer |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Overpriced Mixer 3.5/1, Dual Flat winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Kempton (2m) last October. Signed off with a good sixth on his handicap debut at Ascot (2m) in March so he merits serious consideration on his return after a wind op. | |||
4th (1)  (8/1 +6%)Glimpse Of Gold |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glimpse Of Gold 8/1, Completed a hat-trick in 2m hurdles from April to June and has continued in good order, second of 7 in handicap over C&D 29 days ago. Firmly in the picture nudged up only 1 lb. | |||
5th (4)  (16/1 +43%)Illico Des Places |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Illico Des Places 16/1, Scored on his sole start in France but proved too headstrong all four runs in Britain for Tom Symonds, having a wind op before coming in a well-held eighth in 2m Warwick handicap in May. Lots more needed on his reappearance/yard debut. | |||
|F| (5)  (2.5/1 -11%)Sergeant |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sergeant 2.5/1, Has taken his form up a notch this season, scoring at Stratford in August before fourth over C&D last month when set plenty to do. Strong traveller who can go well again. |

2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Art Of Illusion 2.25/1, Fair form over hurdles and looks worthy of note starting out over fences. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.25/1 -102%)Blade Runner |
1.25/1(-102%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blade Runner 1.25/1, Evens, didn't need to improve to win 3-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good). Off 6 months. Well capable of following up in a weak race. | |||
3rd (3)  (3/1 +33%)Artemision |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Artemision 3/1, Best effort to date when runner-up at Taunton (23f) in January. Bit disappointing since but has has moved stables wince last seen 6 months ago, so worth a market check. | |||
|U| (4)  (12/1 -9%)Kind Witness |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kind Witness 12/1, Limited hurdler/chaser who will probably struggle to get involved. |

8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Harry's Hottie 8.5/1, Minor promise only so far over hurdles and was pulled up at Huntingdon when last seen 7 months ago. Others make more appeal. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.88/1 +0%)Milanese Rose |
1.88/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Milanese Rose 1.88/1, Good sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good, 7/1) 34 days ago. Should be thereabouts again, but lacks the potential of her stablemate. | |||
3rd (6)  (3.2/1 +47%)Universal Island |
3.2/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Universal Island 3.2/1, Limited impact in the pointing field and remote fourth on both hurdling outings so far. Will be well suited by a step up to 3m and is worth chancing on handicap debut. | |||
4th (7)  (7.5/1 +46%)Dark Heather |
7.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dark Heather 7.5/1, Has yet to trouble the judge and will probably struggle again from out of the weights. | |||
5th (5)  (5.5/1 +66%)Kalaya |
5.5/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kalaya 5.5/1, Limited impact on Flat/over hurdles and hard to fancy despite a respectable third at Fontwell 43 days ago. | |||
|PU| (3)  (5.5/1 -10%)Hana Collonges |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hana Collonges 5.5/1, Improved for step up to 3m/switch to handicap company when scoring at Ffos Las in May but most disappointing on both subsequent outings. |

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.
