1	10 1st (10) (6/5 +36%) Quinta Do Lago	1.2 6/5(+36%)	(10) Quinta Do Lago 6/5, Overcame greenness for a highly promising debut when a 5 1/2l winner of a juvenile hurdle at Cork; trainer in form; effective 2m and acts on good ground; should improve and could follow up. Ran a bit green when winning an academy hurdle at Cork, could be hard to beat.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 -71%) Ole Ole	6 6/1(-71%)	(9) Ole Ole 6/1, Made a promising debut when third, beaten 2l, in a juvenile hurdle at Clairefontaine; returning from a break; effective 2m and handles cut; ex-French and now with a top yard, open to progress.

Flat winner over 1m4f on yielding, placed on first two hurdle starts, should go close.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +57%) Hardy Stuff	12 12/1(+57%)	(5) Hardy Stuff 12/1, Yard has won two of the last nine renewals; pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Cork latest; hood first time; likely capable of better if settling and setting steadier fractions. Hung badly left when pulled up in the Cork academy hurdle win by Quinta Do Lago, hood on.
5th	11 5th (11) (80/1 -60%) Rua Mor	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) Rua Mor 80/1, Keen and made mistakes but showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Cork; effective 2m and handles good ground; should improve slightly with experience. Well beaten at this venue on Flat debut, similar story in a maiden hurdle at Cork.
6th	14 6th (14) (125/1 -279%) Good Thoughts	125 125/1(-279%)	(14) Good Thoughts 125/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Fairyhouse last time; may need more time to develop over hurdles. Was beginning to feel the pinch when falling three out at Gowran early this month on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (15/2 -67%) Glen To Glen	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(4) Glen To Glen 15/2, Yard has won two of the last five runnings; rallied and made a promising hurdle debut when comfortably held in a maiden over 2m at Navan; top course trainer; effective 2m; ran well at Royal Ascot, type to do well hurdling. Flat win was obtained at 6f, beaten 15l in fifth on last Sunday's hurdles debut at Navan;.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/2 +42%) Mont Star	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(8) Mont Star 7/2, Trainer won this race last year; ran to form when second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a 3yo event over 12f at Senonnes-Pouance; needs to find more. Ran well on soft on the Flat in France, interesting recruit to a top stable.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -21%) Mcloughlin	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Mcloughlin 40/1, Poorly placed to challenge but showed minor promise on debut when down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Navan; effective 2m and suited by cut; could progress if ridden more positively. 80-rated Flat maiden, well held by fifth-placed Glen To Glen on Navan running last Sunday.
10th	1 10th (1) (300/1 -200%) Antoine De Paris	300 300/1(-200%)	(1) Antoine De Paris 300/1, Pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Down Royal last time; effective over 12f; yet to convince with stamina or jumping in hurdle races. Won a middle-distance claimer for Noel Meade, pulled up at Down Royal on hurdles debut.

Failed to make much impact in two starts on the Flat, 7lb claimer up for hurdling debut.
12th	13 12th (13) (80/1 -100%) Dream Angel	80 80/1(-100%)	(13) Dream Angel 80/1, May have found the ground too soft when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Carlisle last time; returns from a short break; suited by 1m and a sound surface, best form on turf. Handicap winner over 1m in Britain on good-to-firm, the ground might be against her.
13th	15 13th (15) (200/1 -150%) Shakita	200 200/1(-150%)	(15) Shakita 200/1, Far too free and showed little when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on debut; limited Flat form and stamina to prove over hurdles. Low-rated Flat maiden, beaten almost 40l in eighth on hurdling debut at Gowran.

GLEN TO GLEN won a Curragh maiden in March and finished off his Flat campaign with a rating of 87. The Dawn Approach gelding was far from disgraced on his hurdling debut at Navan last Sunday, when fifth behind the highly-regarded Barbizon, and should benefit from that experience. Combs also won a Flat maiden at Tipperary this year and is now fitted with cheekpieces after being placed on both hurdles starts, while Quinta Do Lago won at Cork in good style and is another to consider along with French import Mont Star.

Effectively a winner without a penalty, having taken an academy hurdle at Cork, QUINTA DO LAGO shaped as if he would improve

7th	17 7th (17) (11/1 -10%) Ready For Road	11 11/1(-10%)	(17) Ready For Road 11/1, Promising debut when fourth, beaten 14l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Cork; tongue-tie on for the first time; debut form franked and should improve.

12	12 \|U\| (12) (125/1 -25%) Lejolicoeur Du Mou	125 125/1(-25%)	(12) Lejolicoeur Du Mou 125/1, Ran to form when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park last time; may improve for further in time. Will need to get a handicap rating judged on two maiden hurdle outings at Gowran.

19th	22 19th (22) (66/1 -32%) Urbs Intacta Manet	66 66/1(-32%)	(22) Urbs Intacta Manet 66/1, Lucky Speed gelding. Yard in good form but may just need this experience. Dam well beaten in points is half-sister to two winners who stayed well.
20th	27 20th (27) (150/1 +25%) The Dancen Kid	150 150/1(+25%)	(27) The Dancen Kid 150/1, Never threatened and looked in need of a stiffer test when modest on debut, well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m here; longer trip should help but has plenty to find. Second reserve, 66-1 when finishing in midfield over 2m on debut, longer trip may help.
21st	4 21st (4) (200/1 +0%) Dan Lauren	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Dan Lauren 200/1, Green and made mistakes on a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Cork last time; showed little in points or under rules and has plenty to prove.

SANTO SOSPIR won a bumper here on debut in February and finished fourth when reappearing in a 2m maiden hurdle at Wexford last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding should progress from that experience and is likely to appreciate this step up in trip. Sound As A Bell won a point-to-point in good style this spring, while stablemate Ready For Road made a creditable start over hurdles recently at Cork. L'as De Watt filled the runner-up spot behind the odds-on I'm Slippy on his hurdles debut at Cork earlier this month and is also noted.

Course bumper winner SANTO SOSPIR should benefit from the step up in trip following his introduction to hurdling at Wexford.

4	9 4th (9) (5/1 -11%) Shuffle The Deck	5 5/1(-11%)	(9) Shuffle The Deck 5/1, Won a novice hurdle at Naas over 2m by 3l last time, doing it easily on better ground; top jockey resumes the ride; brings in useful hurdles form; likely to progress again over fences.

KITZBUHEL is a smart recruit to fences and may prove difficult to beat. The French import joined Willie Mullins last season and scored twice over hurdles, including the Grade 3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran. Riding arrangements suggest Shuffle The Deck is preferred of the JP McManus-owned quintet, and the point-to-point winner was successful twice over hurdles at Naas. James's Gate also won twice over hurdles last term, while Cork maiden hurdle winner Sky Lord is another interesting prospect.

Willie Mullins has won the last two editions of this race with Gaelic Warrior and Ballyburn. KITZBUHEL has good claims on hurdles form

13:05 Punchestown (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Progressive over hurdles last season, ROCKY'S DIAMOND looks the one to beat. The Declan Queally-trained gelding won a Grade 2 at Gowran in January before subsequently finishing fourth in the Stayers' Hurdle. An impressive winner on his chasing debut at Galway in September, he ran into a decent opponent when narrowly beaten at Wexford last time. A Listed winner over flights, Oscars Brother has always given the impression he would make a better chaser. Runner-up on his first two starts over fences, the son of Malinas scored easily on his latest start. Koktail Divin completes the shortlist.

ROCKY'S DIAMOND has made a positive start to his chasing career and a repeat of his Wexford Listed second in open company should do.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (12/1 -20%) Dee Capo	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Dee Capo 12/1, Hampered as the race began to develop and never threatened when down the field in the Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham last time; effective around 2 1/2m and acts on any going but inconsistent, with this mark asking more. A Leopardstown beginners' winner last year but soundly beaten twice after; jumping issues.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -67%) High Class Hero	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(1) High Class Hero 10/3, Well backed and improved when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, finishing 4 1/2l third in the bet365 Gold Cup over 3m5f at Sandown last time; has a bit to find. Got off the mark over fences here last term before a fine 4th in bet365 Gold Cup; player.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 -11%) Drumgill	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Drumgill 10/1, Returned to form when dropped in grade, beaten 3l off 126 over 2m at Gowran Park last time; effective from 2m to 3m and best on a sound surface, though inconsistent overall. Pulled-up in Munster and Cork Nationals but better over 2m at Gowran since; considered.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -115%) Sa Majeste	14 14/1(-115%)	(3) Sa Majeste 14/1, Pulled up in the Irish Grand National over 3m5f at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 3m and acts on heavy or good to soft ground; a useful novice last season who returns off a fair mark. Two chase wins last term and 3rd over 3m2f at Cheltenham; this trip looks a bit sharp.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +43%) Shannon Royale	8 8/1(+43%)	(4) Shannon Royale 8/1, Needed the run when helping set the pace for closers and was well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Galway last time; enjoys making the running and should be suited by further. Beat High Class Hero in a 3m beginners here last term but form went off; needs a revival.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/8 +59%) Waterford Whispers	1.375 11/8(+59%)	(5) Waterford Whispers 11/8, Ran to form but looked in need of a stiffer test when 5 1/4l third in a novice chase over 2m2f at Galway last time; wants around 2 1/2m and, having had issues, looks very interesting back up in trip off a lenient opening mark based on debut form. Dual hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but some decent runs; a player on h'cap bow.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +18%) Walnut Beach	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Walnut Beach 33/1, Made too much use of the pace and was well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Limerick last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m but inconsistent. Back to the mark off which he won a Killarney listed chase in 2024 but was poor last time.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (7/1 -56%) Talk In The Park	7 7/1(-56%)	(7) Talk In The Park 7/1, Hampered early, travelled well and flattened out late when up in trip but far from disgraced, finishing fourth beaten 15l in the Munster National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) over 3m at Limerick last time; effective over 2m6f and may stay 3m with more to come over fences. Yet to win over fences but some decent runs; this trip may suit better than 3m last time.

The Ross O'Sullivan-trained TALK IN THE PARK can open his account over fences. Having been handicapped over the minimum trip, the seven-year-old ran a huge race when runner-up in a beginners chase at Galway in August. Subsequently third on his first start in handicap company at Listowel, he ran well in a much stronger race when fourth in the Munster National last time. Smart hurdler Waterford Whispers has yet to replicate that form over fences, but gives the impression that he has more to offer. It would be no surprise to see an improved performance upped in distance here. High Class Hero, third in the bet365 Gold Cup, has to be respected if fit and ready on his seasonal reappearance.

Having run well in defeat several times in novice events, WATERFORD WHISPERS can get off the mark over fences now entering handicaps

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1/5 +60%) Lossiemouth	0.2 1/5(+60%)	(4) Lossiemouth 1/5, Won the Aintree Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m4f by 3l last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on any ground. A top-class performer whose form was franked last term; the one to beat on return, provided she gets a decent test at the trip. Put two blots on her record last season but should be much too good for these three rivals.
2	1 2nd (1) (28/1 -27%) Glen Kiln	28 28/1(-27%)	(1) Glen Kiln 28/1, Quickened clear easily to win the Conditions Hurdle here over 2m3f by 3 1/2l last time, backing up recent improvement down in grade. Likes to make the running, effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on any ground, and remains progressive. 2m3f course winner last month when suited by race conditions, that is not the case here.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -100%) Ndaawi	18 18/1(-100%)	(3) Ndaawi 18/1, Stable won this race last year. Ran to form when beaten 7 1/4l in a 2m2f handicap at Newmarket last time, having been in good form beforehand. The top jockey returns to the saddle, and he remains a progressive type. High-class dual-purpose handicapper, steps into the big league now, fit from the Flat.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -43%) Irancy	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Irancy 5/1, Yard has won three of the last five runnings of this race. Won the Champion Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) here by 9l last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Had an issue but is progressing and already proven at top level as a novice. Ended last season on a high note with two significant wins, stiff task against Lossiemouth.

14:10 Punchestown (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

In the absence of State Man, LOSSIEMOUTH can prove an able deputy for Willie Mullins. A dual Grade 1 winner at this track, the six-year-old mare signed off last season with an impressive victory at Aintree in April. Having always run well off the back of a break, the top-class grey is likely to be fairly straight for this first start of the new campaign. Stablemate Irancy could well represent the biggest danger. A winner here at the Festival in April, the seven-year-old is lightly raced and open to further improvement. Galway Hurdle winner Ndaawi needs to step forward again, but is not without his chance.

Although her 2m efforts last season were not attended by success, LOSSIEMOUTH faces a relatively straightforward task here

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +22%) Son Of Anarchy	7 7/1(+22%)	(3) Son Of Anarchy 7/1, From the yard that won this last year; ran to form when fourth beaten 22l in a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Galway last time. Returning from a break; effective from 2m to 2 3/4m, handles any ground; consistent type who may find a little more in handicaps. Runner-up in a C&D maiden hurdle but below that level at Galway since; has to jump better.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 -64%) Rakki	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(8) Rakki 9/2, Ran to form when winning a 2m maiden hurdle at Roscommon by 5l last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Fairly treated on UK form with more to come for this yard. Won a 2m Roscommon maiden hurdle last time; big player if staying plus ground is a query.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/2 +17%) Sticwiththeprocess	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(6) Sticwiththeprocess 5/2, Ran to form and idled when winning a 2m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse by 2l last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles cut. More to come in handicaps, mark looks lenient though can race lazily. Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle over 2m; stays this trip and go close with cheekpieces on.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 +0%) Union Park	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Union Park 33/1, Back up in trip but failed to get home when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and generally better over fences. Not beaten far last time and is dropping down the handicap but others make more appeal.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +64%) Saint Le Fort	4 4/1(+64%)	(5) Saint Le Fort 4/1, Had too much to do and was unsuited by the drop in trip when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a 2m handicap hurdle at Cork last time. Trainer in form; effective at 2 1/2m and may stay a bit further. Better at Cork last time over 2m; the step back up in trip can suit and one to consider.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 -20%) Aruntothequeen	9 9/1(-20%)	(7) Aruntothequeen 9/1, Improved again when second beaten 4l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m. A progressive Listed bumper winner who can improve over hurdles with jumping experience; opening mark may prove lenient. Listed bumper winner but not as good over hurdles so far; needs more on handicap bow.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +22%) Rockymountainbleu	7 7/1(+22%)	(1) Rockymountainbleu 7/1, Ran to form when tiring late back from a break, finishing fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and a consistent performer. C&D winner ran well on comeback here last time; should be a big player off the same mark.
8th	13 8th (13) (28/1 -100%) Catchabird	28 28/1(-100%)	(13) Catchabird 28/1, Ran a bit below form but was not disgraced having done plenty early when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a 2m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2m, handles cut and is consistent; may do better over further. Consistent in defeat during the spring over 2m; needs more up in trip back after a break.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 +30%) Mic Drop	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Mic Drop 14/1, Had every chance but below form when fourth beaten 18l in a 2m2f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time. Off a short break; acts on any ground and may benefit from a longer trip, though his mark demands more. Maiden over hurdles hasn't been at his best on his last few starts and has to do more.
10th	2 10th (2) (28/1 -133%) Cafe Con Leche	28 28/1(-133%)	(2) Cafe Con Leche 28/1, Returned to form maintaining a good record here when narrowly landing a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Cork off 112. Effective from 1m2f to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground; consistent on the Flat though less reliable over hurdles. Has to repeat Cork winning form under the same rider but a 6lb rise makes this tougher.
11th	4 11th (4) (18/1 -13%) Collaborative	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Collaborative 18/1, Ran to form when third beaten 21l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and may stay further, though the handicapper could now be catching up. Below form when beaten 21l into third at Fairyhouse when last seen; needs best on return.
12th	12 12th (12) (125/1 -279%) Gamigin	125 125/1(-279%)	(12) Gamigin 125/1, Never threatened when finishing down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Navan most recently. Usually held up. Inconsistent in both codes. Soundly beaten on the Flat lately; has to improve on his hurdles form of earlier this year.
13th	11 13th (11) (28/1 +30%) Quornofamonday	28 28/1(+30%)	(11) Quornofamonday 28/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap chase at Galway last time. Cheekpieces applied for the first time. Well beaten on last number of starts and cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

A winner at Fairyhouse earlier this month, STICWITHTHEPROCESS can follow up back in handicap company. Having landed the odds in a maiden hurdle, the handicapper decided to leave him on the same rating and with the form of his previous run in handicap company having been well advertised by the winner, the Ted Walsh-trained gelding could be nicely treated. Collaborative, who was a well-beaten third behind Sticwiththeprocess in April, is almost certainly better than that form suggests. His win at Fairyhouse a couple of months earlier looks strong given the subsequent exploits of the runner-up. Saint Le Fort, who caught the eye at Cork last time, is one to consider for an in-form stable.

Preference is for STICWITHTHEPROCESS who won a 2m maiden at Fairyhouse despite idling and is proven over this trip and ground.

1	2 1st (2) (10/11 +44%) Ballyfad	0.909091 10/11(+44%)	(2) Ballyfad 10/11, From a yard that has won two of the last five renewals; made a game and very promising debut when a 1/2l winner in a bumper at Down Royal. Effective over 2m and could defy a penalty. Point winner took a Down Royal bumper on rules debut; a big player even penalised 7lb.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/4 +8%) Rojuco Mac	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(7) Rojuco Mac 11/4, Produced a very promising debut when third, beaten 9l, in a 2m bumper here. Trainer in form and returning from a long layoff. Effective over 2m, acts with cut, and debut form has been franked. Third in a 2m bumper at this track in February; should run well even after his absence.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -83%) Tountinna	33 33/1(-83%)	(8) Tountinna 33/1, Showed minor promise on debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a mares' bumper over 2m at Galway. Effective at the trip but needs more to get off the mark. Should have improved from debut and run respectably; hood worn then retained.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 +29%) Raise You Up	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(6) Raise You Up 17/2, 5,000 euros Wings Of Eagles gelding; half-brother to De Tellers Fortune, fair from 24f to 26f. Runner-up on sole point start back; should be capable of a decent showing on rules bow.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -21%) Barrakilla Vage	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) Barrakilla Vage 80/1, Outpaced before keeping on when beaten 9l in a 2m bumper at Kilbeggan last time. Returns from a short break; effective over 2m and acts on any ground, but needs plenty more to open his account. Modest in points but beaten only 9l in a Kilbeggan bumper in August; has to build on that.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/3 -67%) Grandy Lane	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(4) Grandy Lane 10/3, Made a highly promising bumper debut when second, beaten a head, at Clonmel last time. Effective over 2m and handles soft and good ground. In good form and only just denied by a useful rival. Narrowly beaten in a maiden hurdle and a bumper; ground-versatile and a big player.
7th	1 7th (1) (66/1 -136%) Arctic Craft	66 66/1(-136%)	(1) Arctic Craft 66/1, Outclassed up in grade when fourth, beaten 29l, in a bumper at Down Royal last time. Returning from a long layoff and effective over 2m, acts on good ground but looks vulnerable under a penalty. Bumper winner in 2024 but absent for over a year so others make more appeal.
8th	5 8th (5) (200/1 -33%) Huckleberry Lad	200 200/1(-33%)	(5) Huckleberry Lad 200/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a Ladies bumper over 2m at Fairyhouse on his only start. Has plenty to prove. Beaten 40l on debut in a Fairyhouse bumper and is best watched for now.

A promising third on his racecourse debut here in February, ROJUCO MAC can make a winning reappearance. The form of that contest looked above average at the time, and the fourth proved that theory right when subsequently landing a bumper. Unlikely to want for fitness coming from these quarters, the Charles Byrnes-trained gelding can make the breakthrough on this second start. Runner-up on both appearances under Rules to date, Grandy Lane shouldn't be long in registering a first victory. Down Royal bumper scorer Ballyfad has to carry a penalty for that success, but the point-to-point winner has to be respected in his bid to maintain his unbeaten record.

Ballyfad is a big player but may find it hard to concede 7lb to GRANDY LANE, a close runner-up in a Clonmel bumper last time

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.
