Miranda

5.5/1(+61%)

18/1(+28%)
(3) Fransham 18/1, Better than ever this season, recording back-to-back 2m handicap victories at Wetherby to end 2020. Good efforts in defeat twice since and strong-travelling style should be suited to a race like this.

Langer Dan

5/1(+0%)
(12) Langer Dan 5/1, Useful juvenile last term. Caught the eye on first run back after wind surgery when keeping on from well off the pace to finish fourth behind a couple of these at Market Rasen recently. Interesting.

8.5/1(+23%)

Marshmallo

25/1(+0%)
(7) Marshmallo 25/1, Stepped up on an encouraging start when defying odds of 20/1 at Doncaster last time, looking suited by the emphasis on stamina. Will likely be outclassed in this company, though.
(10) Sheila Nash (33/1 -32%)
Sheila Nash

33/1(-32%)

Swincombe Fleat

40/1(-82%)
(13) Swincombe Fleat 40/1, Confirmed debut promise when opening her account at Fontwell a couple of months ago. Needs a much more significant step forward if she's to make a similar impression up in grade, though.
(17) Legendary Grace (125/1 -56%)
Legendary Grace

125/1(-56%)
(17) Legendary Grace 125/1, Just modest form in bumpers to date, so looks well out of her depth in this company.

3.5/1(+46%)

Limited Reserve

11/1(+31%)

Prairie Town

22/1(-10%)
(8) Prairie Town 22/1, Seemingly perked up by the refitting of headgear when ending a losing run at Leicester 13 months ago. None too reliable, though, and well held since (including on the Flat early this year).
(6) Dustin Des Mottes (33/1 +34%)
Dustin Des Mottes

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.
