1	5 1st (5) (40/1 -233%) Sopelana		40 40/1(-233%)																															(5) Sopelana 40/1, Outclassed when fourth, beaten 36l, in a juvenile hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time. Effective over 2m on soft and good ground. A hurdles winner but has shown little on the Flat. Won on soft at Ballinrobe in September; poor in two starts since but should enjoy ground.
2	3 2nd (3) (15/2 +6%) I'll Be Handy		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(3) I'll Be Handy 15/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 4 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse, appreciating a more positive ride. Trainer in good form. Effective at 2m and acts on any ground. Progressing and remains competitive. Runner-up in 3yo maiden at Fairyhouse (2m, soft to heavy) nine days ago; in the mix.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/4 +55%) Mode Avion		1.25 5/4(+55%)																															(4) Mode Avion 5/4, Made a promising debut with a 2l win in a juvenile bumper over 12f at Le Lion-D'Angers. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and should be thereabouts on hurdle/stable debut. Won 1m4f newcomers AQPS Flat race; reportedly schooling well at home; big player.
4	7 4th (7) (2/1 -150%) In My Teens		2 2/1(-150%)																															(7) In My Teens 2/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l, in a handicap over 10f at The Curragh last time. Flat winner proved useful in that sphere and has leading claims for top connections on hurdling debut. Rated 98 on the Flat, has to be high on the shortlist on hurdles bow.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/2 +40%) In The Minus		4.5 9/2(+40%)																															(1) In The Minus 9/2, Improved for a ready win when landing a maiden hurdle at Galway by 5l last time. Effective over 2m and handles soft and good ground. Progressing but will need more to defy the penalty. Galway winner on latest; penalty to carry in deeper race and would prefer better ground.
6th	2 6th (2) (200/1 -60%) Ahellofaman		200 200/1(-60%)																															(2) Ahellofaman 200/1, Found little after briefly threatening when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Best watched for now over hurdles. Well related but never a factor in a bumper and hurdle to date; unlikely winner.

A 98-rated filly on the Flat, IN MY TEENS looks an exciting recruit to jumping. A maiden winner on the level at Down Royal in June, the Gavin Cromwell-trained daughter of Camelot was subsequently runner-up in two above-average contests. Connections have wasted little time in making the switch to hurdling, something that suggests the filly may well have impressed in her schooling. French bumper winner Mode Avion is the obvious alternative. While the form of that race has yet to be tested, the Taj Mahal gelding could do no more than win and is in the right hands to progress. In The Minus carries a penalty for his Galway success but is still a major contender.

Gordon Eliott's MODE AVION is reportedly schooling well at home and the French AQPS Flat winner could be tough to beat on his Irish bow

1	9 1st (9) (10/11 +48%) Koktail Brut		0.909091 10/11(+48%)																															(9) Koktail Brut 10/11, Below form when comfortably held in a bumper here last time; placed at Graded level in bumpers prior; remains a potential threat on hurdle debut. Smart bumper horse last season, not far behind Colcannon at Leopardstown, promising novice.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/10 -21%) Colcannon		1.1 11/10(-21%)																															(5) Colcannon 11/10, The yard has won two of the last eight renewals of this race; ran to form when third, beaten 8 1/4l, in the Champion I.N.H. Flat Race (Grade 1) over 2m1f here last time; the one to beat on balance of form. Not far off the best of last season's bumper crop, Grade 2 winner, third here in Grade 1.
3	12 3rd (12) (11/2 +31%) Splendid Fellow		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(12) Splendid Fellow 11/2, The yard has won two of the last eight renewals of this race; outpaced but promising hurdle debut when fourth, beaten 18l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; expected to improve and should stay further in time. Third in a point, can improve form from last month's hurdling debut at Limerick.
4	7 4th (7) (100/1 -203%) Eyetrap		100 100/1(-203%)																															(7) Eyetrap 100/1, Found little when finishing down the field in a handicap over 10f at Naas last time; returns from a break and is hard to recommend. Dual Flat winner in Britain, latest at Chester on heavy in June over 1m4f, weak Irish form.
5th	21 5th (21) (50/1 0%) Sarah's Express		50 50/1(0%)																															(21) Sarah's Express 50/1, Below hurdles form when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Galway last time; shows some ability around 2m but bred for further once tackling hurdles. Well held in two maiden hurdles last season, in rear in a bumper at Galway last month.
6th	18 6th (18) (80/1 -60%) Little Ivy		80 80/1(-60%)																															(18) Little Ivy 80/1, Green and made mistakes when running poorly on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Gowran Park last time; drop back in trip not sure to suit on point form. Remote fourth in a point last season, in rear at Gowran on hurdling debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (25/1 -25%) Can Happen		25 25/1(-25%)																															(3) Can Happen 25/1, Outpaced and below debut form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; acts with cut and may need further than 2m to be seen to best effect. Has shown enough promise to suggest he can win a race but faces a stiff task here.
8th	17 8th (17) (22/1 -83%) Fedneys Park		22 22/1(-83%)																															(17) Fedneys Park 22/1, The yard has won two of the last eight renewals of this race; outpaced but rallied for a promising hurdle debut when third, beaten 27l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; should improve with experience and likely to get further in time. Point winner, remote third on hurdling debut, Darragh O'Keeffe prefers Splendid Fellow.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 +0%) Daymer Bay		80 80/1(+0%)																															(6) Daymer Bay 80/1, Ran to current form when third, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap over 12f at Galway last time; wears a hood for the first time and comes from a yard in form but faces a tough task. 25-race maiden on Flat, placed five times, has a basement rating, no hurdling experience.
20	20 |F| (20) (150/1 -50%) On The High Seas		150 150/1(-50%)																															(20) On The High Seas 150/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here on only start; pedigree suggests easier ground will suit but has plenty to prove. Dam won a bumper, big price first time out at this venue and ran accordingly.
10th	14 10th (14) (66/1 -100%) The Dancen Kid		66 66/1(-100%)																															(14) The Dancen Kid 66/1, Dansant gelding; half-brother to War Anthem, a fair performer at around 16f. Eighth foal; half-brother to a 2m hurdle winner, in good hands, leading rider aboard.
11th	15 11th (15) (80/1 -186%) The Shanty Field		80 80/1(-186%)																															(15) The Shanty Field 80/1, Workforce gelding; the yard can get them ready first time and the market may offer clues. Brother to point winner Force In Milan, dam bumper winner, comes from a respected source.
12th	10 12th (10) (80/1 -60%) Lunar Landscape		80 80/1(-60%)																															(10) Lunar Landscape 80/1, Outclassed when stepped up in grade and not suited by the ground when finishing down the field in a 10f handicap at The Curragh last time; faces a stiff task. Placed six times on the Flat, never threatened on only juvenile hurdles start in 2023.
13th	1 13th (1) (150/1 +0%) Ardgillan		150 150/1(+0%)																															(1) Ardgillan 150/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; yet to show much under rules. Nothing in two bumper runs or a first hurdles run to suggest he can play a featuring part.
14th	16 14th (16) (66/1 -65%) Cool Summer		66 66/1(-65%)																															(16) Cool Summer 66/1, Failed to build on hurdles debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective over 2m on decent ground but looks up against it. Placed on the first of two maiden hurdles outings, hard to fancy in this company.
15th	11 15th (11) (66/1 0%) Simpson's Paradox		66 66/1(0%)																															(11) Simpson's Paradox 66/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l in a handicap over 8f at Gowran Park last time; effective at 1m and suited by cut but currently out of form in both codes. Flat winner regressive in 2024, well beaten in two races over hurdles, fair recent run.
16th	22 16th (22) (125/1 -89%) The Cobblers Wife		125 125/1(-89%)																															(22) The Cobblers Wife 125/1, Affinisea mare; best watched for small yard. Second foal; dam unplaced in point/2m hurdle, closely related to bumper winner O'Sogood.
17th	19 17th (19) (125/1 -150%) Lizzymac		125 125/1(-150%)																															(19) Lizzymac 125/1, 19,000 euros Capri filly; half-sister to Cadell, a useful performer from 23f to 26f. Fourth foal, closely related to hurdle/chase winner Cadell, half-sister to a point winner.
18th	8 18th (8) (100/1 +33%) Just Dennis		100 100/1(+33%)																															(8) Just Dennis 100/1, Fell early in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Galway last time; returning from a break and showed nothing in three summer maidens, leaving plenty to prove. Tailed off in maidens at Cork and Ballinrobe, fell at first at Galway, no apparent chance.
19th	2 19th (2) (125/1 -25%) Call Me Flash		125 125/1(-25%)																															(2) Call Me Flash 125/1, Imperial Monarch gelding; the yard has yet to record a winner this year and he is best watched. First foal, dam unplaced, sister to a point winner, not one of the more obvious contenders.
20th	13 20th (13) (100/1 -150%) Tarquin The Proud		100 100/1(-150%)																															(13) Tarquin The Proud 100/1, Shantaram gelding; half-brother to Carlo Du Berlais, a moderate performer at 23f. Half-brother to 3m chase winner Carlo Du Berlais, unraced dam, likely to need experience.

Dual bumper winner COLCANNON looks the horse to beat on his hurdling debut. A Grade 2 winner at Leopardstown in February, the Noel Meade-trained gelding ended his campaign with a highly creditable third in the Grade 1 bumper at the Festival here. A horse who has run well fresh in the past, he is sure to be well schooled. Koktail Brut, who was fourth behind the selection in the aforementioned Leopardstown bumper, looks the danger. A point-to-point winner, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has already proven he can jump. Limerick fourth Splendid Fellow is a dark horse who shouldn't be discounted, despite taking on a couple of smart rivals.

Two good bumper horses clash. COLCANNON, third in the Grade 1 bumper at this venue, can confirm Leopardstown form with Koktail Brut

1	1 1st (1) (10/11 +44%) Powerful		0.909091 10/11(+44%)																															(1) Powerful 10/11, Ran to form when just flattening out late after a break, finishing a 10l third in a maiden hurdle at Navan on his latest start. Off a short break again; effective over 2m with cut, and his opening mark looks lenient. Narrow defeat at Kilbeggan; third at Navan in September; should offer more handicapping.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -20%) Zuzukel		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Zuzukel 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 6l in a 10f handicap at The Curragh on his latest outing. Has a bit to find back over hurdles. Never figured in 6 starts over hurdles but good efforts on the Flat of late; watch market.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -45%) Dont Go Yet		4 4/1(-45%)																															(3) Dont Go Yet 4/1, Ran to form appreciating the drop in trip when beaten 2 1/4l off 122 here last time. Thrown in on chase form and likely to have a bit more to come in this discipline. 19lb lower mark back over hurdles; major player if primed after a break.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 +32%) Space Warrior		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(5) Space Warrior 15/2, Had no obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time. Blinkers go on for the first time; effective over 2m on good or soft ground but currently out of form. Midfield here last month but disappointing at Cork 11 days ago; blinkers now reached for.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/2 +66%) Marelly		5.5 11/2(+66%)																															(6) Marelly 11/2, Found little when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recently. Effective over 2m and needs some give; inconsistent but the handicapper has eased his mark, and easier ground will suit. Good penultimate run at Galway; best form in the mud; Tiernan Power Roche is back on.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -233%) Felicity Smoak		25 25/1(-233%)																															(8) Felicity Smoak 25/1, Raced freely and did too much too soon when beaten 8l in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Effective over 2m and acts on good ground; opening mark looks fair though conditions may be a concern. 7th in Cork maiden 4 weeks ago; market will reveal expectations on handicap hurdle debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 -25%) Speakasyoufind		25 25/1(-25%)																															(7) Speakasyoufind 25/1, Outpaced and in need of a stiffer test when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Galway latest. Usually held up; effective from 2m to 2 1/4m and could improve when returned to a longer trip. In rear and never a factor on handicap debut at Galway last month; others preferred.
2	2 |PU| (2) (25/1 -257%) Gone For Tea		25 25/1(-257%)																															(2) Gone For Tea 25/1, Well held up in grade and on a stiff mark when down the field in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Galway last time. Returns from a long absence and has something to prove. Off the track 470 days; first run for new yard; wants better ground; opposable.

Although clearly a better chaser, DONT GO YET is difficult to ignore off this mark. Rated 19lb lower over flights, the Edward Cawley-trained veteran has twice finished runner-up in this code and almost certainly has a race in him. Last seen when taking minor honours in a Listed handicap chase at the Festival here in May, the 11-year-old is worth chancing. Zuzukel has yet to reach the frame in 12 starts, but gives the impression that he is capable of better. A strong traveller who doesn't always find as much as expected, he is likely to be held up for a late run. Gone For Tea has to be respected on stable debut.

A few here with ground concerns but no such worries for MARELLY, who thrives in the mud and can finally get back to the winner's circle

1	2 1st (2) (4/6 +62%) Yeshil		0.666667 4/6(+62%)																															(2) Yeshil 4/6, Green and made mistakes when needing the run on hurdle debut, well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Leopardstown last time; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m; bumper form looks strong and there should be more to come over hurdles. Fine second in the 2024 Goffs Defender Bumper, ran in a good maiden last Christmas.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 -200%) Vitorio Piel		2.5 5/2(-200%)																															(1) Vitorio Piel 5/2, Below form on hurdle debut, set it up for a closer when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m here last time; effective at 2m; bumper form has been franked and there should be more to come over hurdles. Course winner of a 20-runner bumper, excuse offered for odds-on defeat on hurdling debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +29%) Jonny Carrol		10 10/1(+29%)																															(6) Jonny Carrol 10/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Tipperary last time; effective from 2m to 2½m and acts on good ground; from a good yard but past form has had knocks, so a bit more is needed back from a break. Needs to raise his game to win a maiden judged on displays at Limerick and Tipperary.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -11%) Eagle's Quest		10 10/1(-11%)																															(5) Eagle's Quest 10/1, Modest flat debut, down the field in a maiden over 12f at The Curragh most recently; consistent in bumpers and a value selection based on the balance of form. Fair form in bumpers, not a bad run in midfield in a recent 1m4f Curragh maiden.
5th	3 5th (3) (300/1 -200%) Kofino		300 300/1(-200%)																															(3) Kofino 300/1, Poor debut, well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Clonmel last time; yet to show any ability in points or under rules. Pulled up in two points, soundly beaten in a bumper and a maiden hurdle in April.

With a valid excuse for his odds-on defeat here on his hurdling debut, VITORIO PIEL can make amends. A bumper winner at this track on his introduction back in May, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding was sent off a strong favourite on his return, but failed to give his running having been struck into. This looks a nice opportunity for the son of Spanish Moon to register a first victory over hurdles. Following a promising stable debut in a good maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas, Yeshil is entitled to be very competitive. Campbell Black has shaped well enough in two starts to date to be competitive now.

A stylish debut bumper winner at the festival here in May, VITORIO PIEL had an excuse for his eclipse on hurdling debut at the venue

Chase winner was pulled up last time; 0-7 over hurdles; has a bit to prove in this sphere.
2	7 2nd (7) (20/1 -135%) My Good Pal		20 20/1(-135%)																															(7) My Good Pal 20/1, Returned to form when 5l third in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last time; effective around 2 1/2m on good ground; generally reliable but conditions could test him. Back to form when third of 20 here last month but best form is on decent ground.
3	21 3rd (21) (11/1 -22%) Yoursimplythebest		11 11/1(-22%)																															(21) Yoursimplythebest 11/1, Showed some improvement when beaten 2l off 75 in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; effective around 2 1/2m on good ground; needs to confirm that form on easier going. Third of 11 at Sligo off this mark last month; no form in the mud would be a concern.
4	15 4th (15) (5/1 +58%) Spanish John		5 5/1(+58%)																															(15) Spanish John 5/1, Won by 4l off 57 over 12f at Bellewstown three starts ago and ran to form when ninth, beaten 11l off 66 last time; effective at 12f and acts on any ground; maintained good form across both codes this summer. Thrown in off 86 over hurdles if he can put it all together; won off this mark in the past.
5th	22 5th (22) (28/1 +15%) Rideau Canal		28 28/1(+15%)																															(22) Rideau Canal 28/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when down the field in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Cork; returning from a break and likely to prefer further than 2m. Not a bad effort when 5th at this course over 3m in June but has generally been regressive.
6th	20 6th (20) (80/1 +20%) Rajjnatin		80 80/1(+20%)																															(20) Rajjnatin 80/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last time; effective at 2 1/2m but yet to show any worthwhile ability. Never a factor in eight career runs and handicap company hasn't helped; safe to rule out.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +61%) Great Island		11 11/1(+61%)																															(6) Great Island 11/1, Probably needed the run when below form up in grade, well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Navan last time; trainer in good form; returning from a long layoff and holds an outside chance. Only had one run last season when tailed off at Navan; best watched after 257-day absence.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 -60%) Sean Mc		40 40/1(-60%)																															(11) Sean Mc 40/1, Ran to form but never threatened when down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Naas last time; effective at 2m and handles soft ground; plenty more needed to defy this opening mark. No good in four maidens but could be of interest now handicapping; watch the betting.
9th	4 9th (4) (13/2 -8%) Welcome Aboard		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(4) Welcome Aboard 13/2, Finished strongly when beaten 2l off 93 over 3m here last time after benefitting from a late pace collapse; still unexposed and can win off this mark. Big improver on handicap debut; shorter trip not sure to suit but respected.
10th	1 10th (1) (14/1 -40%) Accustomed		14 14/1(-40%)																															(1) Accustomed 14/1, Improved when stepped back up in trip, finishing second and beaten 11l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f here last time; effective at around 2 1/2m on yielding or good ground; needs to confirm that latest progress but could be well treated. Second in course maiden last month; chance on handicap bow but faces different conditions.
11th	3 11th (3) (5/1 +23%) Aswellasabentley		5 5/1(+23%)																															(3) Aswellasabentley 5/1, Travelled well and ran to form before flattening out late when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l, in a 2m1f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; effective between 2m and 2 1/4m on soft or good ground; showing steady progress. Best work at finish when fourth at Downpatrick last month; step up in trip should suit.
12th	16 12th (16) (50/1 +0%) Halsafari		50 50/1(+0%)																															(16) Halsafari 50/1, Pulled up in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; effective around 2 1/2m and handles cut; has dropped sharply in the weights but must prove his ability remains after a layoff. Veteran had been off the track since October 2023 when pulled up at Wexford last month.
13th	14 13th (14) (7/2 +42%) Without Exception		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(14) Without Exception 7/2, Stable won this last year; ran to form benefitting from a pace collapse when beaten 1 1/2l off 84 at Fairyhouse; effective at 2 1/2m and suited by soft ground; progressive and may stay 3m. Course winner on heavy in February; fine return effort at Fairyhouse; shortlisted.
14th	5 14th (5) (14/1 +0%) Blue Reed		14 14/1(+0%)																															(5) Blue Reed 14/1, Made mistakes and faded back down in trip, doing too much early when well held over 2m at Kilbeggan last time; did best of those who raced prominently; returns from a short break and rates a leading contender on race times. Runner-up in successive handicap hurdles at the start of the year on easy ground.
15th	19 15th (19) (12/1 -33%) Ballinaboola Jet		12 12/1(-33%)																															(19) Ballinaboola Jet 12/1, Improved on recent form when beaten 2 1/2l off 76 over 2m4f at Wexford last time; effective around 2 1/2m but not one to rely on repeating that effort. Just behind Roccabaker last time; can challenge for the places again if building on that.
16th	13 16th (13) (16/1 -100%) Roccabaker		16 16/1(-100%)																															(13) Roccabaker 16/1, Returned to form back up in trip when beaten 2l off 85 over 2m4f at Wexford last time; effective around 2 1/2m on soft ground; well treated now proven ability remains and holds strong claims. Runner-up at Wexford (2m4f, yielding) on latest; should be in the mix again up 2lb.
17th	9 17th (9) (20/1 +60%) Kinturk Maggie		20 20/1(+60%)																															(9) Kinturk Maggie 20/1, Pulled up in a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; may need this easier ground to show her best. Return to softer ground should help on reappearance but she's hard to fancy.
18th	17 18th (17) (40/1 -82%) Run For Cover		40 40/1(-82%)																															(17) Run For Cover 40/1, Raced keenly and went clear mid-race before tiring when down the field in a 3m handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; usually held up and may want further in time. Good run behind Without Exception here in February; enters calculations on that run.
19th	18 19th (18) (80/1 -100%) Three County Star		80 80/1(-100%)																															(18) Three County Star 80/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when down the field in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; effective at 2m on good ground but yet to prove up to this mark. Best of maiden runs was at Kilbeggan in June; needs to pull out more on handicap bow.
20th	12 20th (12) (33/1 -32%) My Boy Christy		33 33/1(-32%)																															(12) My Boy Christy 33/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces though may have hit the front too soon when fourth, beaten 16l, in a 2m maiden hurdle at Wexford; effective at 2m on yielding ground but needs more off this opening mark. Fourth at Wexford in first-time cheekpieces last month; leading rider booked again.
24	24 |PU| (24) (100/1 -100%) Ponderosa Lady		100 100/1(-100%)																															(24) Ponderosa Lady 100/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when down the field over 2m6f at Ballinrobe; visor on for the first time; usually held up and returning from a short break; modest maiden who may stay 3m.

SPANISH JOHN looks to have decent claims for trainer Pat Fahy. Twice successful on the Flat this year, the seven-year-old appears well treated back over flights relative to that mark. Having landed his sole previous victory over hurdles off an identical rating, he has plenty in his favour and with Harry Sexton claiming 7lb, it is difficult to see him not playing a leading role. Aswellasabentley has to be respected on what is only his third run for Gavin Cromwell, and stepping back up in trip should suit. Welcome Aboard, who finished third here on his handicap debut, is entitled to be all the better for that experience.

SPANISH JOHN (nap) is running off a lenient mark back over hurdles and will handle underfoot conditions

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. 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.
