1st (8)  (9/1 +82%)Captain Potter |
9/1(+82%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Captain Potter 9/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) for Mark Walford. Remote fourth on the back of a wind op in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen on his hurdling bow a month ago. Flat maiden who was well beaten at 40-1 on last month's hurdle debut at Market Rasen. |
|||
2nd (3)  (Evens +50%)Golden De Coeur |
Evens(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Golden De Coeur Evens, Fair but winless in bumpers (Ireland) but successful in a couple of points last year and placed both starts over hurdles for this yard at Ffos Las. Sets the standard. Placed at Ffos Las on first two hurdle starts; sets a good standard for the rest to aim at. |
|||
3rd (1)  (20/1 +39%)Final Edgar |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Final Edgar 20/1, Mid-field both starts in bumpers for Roger McGrath in Ireland during the summer, looking slightly ungainly in the process. Showed some ability in Ireland (bumper/point) but improvement needed on hurdle debut. |
|||
4th (4)  (8/1 -33%)Jake Stevens |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jake Stevens 8/1, Failed to threaten both starts between the flags but was still in touch when falling 3 out on hurdles debut here over 16.8f and he found only one too good over the same C&D 19 days later. 2m1f second here last time; others have stronger form but this longer trip can help. |
|||
5th (7)  (40/1 -60%)No I Didn't |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) No I Didn't 40/1, FIrst foal, dam (c118/h118) 2m-25f hurdle/chase winner. Makes debut with yard going well but against rivals who have already shown lots of promise. |
|||
6th (6)  (33/1 +0%)Tanking Along |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tanking Along 33/1, €7,000 3-y-o: third foal: brother to useful hurdler Eabha Grace (21f/2¾m winner): dam (h131), 2m-2¾m hurdle winner, half-sister to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser (2¼m-21f winner) Bob Olinger. Potential in pedigree; check betting on debut but Jake Stevens may be yard's chief hope. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (7/4 +13%)Get A Superstar |
7/4(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Get A Superstar 7/4, Getaway gelding who showed ability on bumper debut at Tipperary back in the spring and made second start for current yard a winning one at Newcastle last month, idling but always holding on. That's a good platform for hurdling. Bumper winner who is bred to be suited by the step up in trip on hurdle debut; player. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (250/1 -150%)Miss Raindrop |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Miss Raindrop 250/1, Poor maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m). Didn't take to hurdling at the first attempt a fortnight ago. Poor maiden on the Flat and tailed off at 200-1 on hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GOLDEN DE COEUR posted another valiant effort in defeat when third at Ffos Las last month and a similar bid may suffice in what looks a slightly weaker affair. Get A Superstar makes his hurdles debut after scoring in a Newcastle bumper on his most recent outing and the six-year-old is feared most, ahead of One More Stroke, who offered something to work with on his Rules debut at Musselburgh.
Having finished runner-up in a brace of points, ONE MORE STROKE shaped with lots of promise when occupying the same spot in a bumper at Musselburgh 3 weeks ago. Sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, he's selected in favour of Golden de Coeur and Get A Superstar.
Two-time point winner GOLDEN DE COEUR has run well to be placed on his first two hurdle starts and is taken to come out on top.

1st (1)  (7/2 +36%)Hauraki Gulf |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hauraki Gulf 7/2, Bumper debut winner but maiden hurdler and he came in only fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, soft) 56 days ago. Makes chase debut with more required. Promise in novice hurdles and may have needed the run last time; now goes chasing. |
|||
2nd (3)  (5/2 +38%)New Found Fame |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) New Found Fame 5/2, A fair winning hurdler who has made a positive start in this sphere, still holding every chance when bad error 5 out at Chepstow (16f, soft) 49 days ago and coming in third. Can do better. He's better than he showed at Chepstow and he should have more to offer; one to consider. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/4 -57%)Horacio Apple's |
11/4(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Horacio Apple's 11/4, Progressive chaser who got off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner handicap chase (6/4) at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) 28 days ago, soon clear. Open to further improvement. Leading claims. Won easily at Bangor on third chase run; up 10lb but in good hands to continue to progress. |
|||
4th (7)  (80/1 -100%)Stowaway John |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Stowaway John 80/1, Remains a maiden after 17 runs and he came in last of 6 in handicap chase here (17f, heavy) 45 days ago. A stone out of the handicap too. Tailed off in November when back from long absence and 14lb out of the handicap today. |
|||
|F| (6)  (2/1 -13%)Coniston Clouds |
2/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Coniston Clouds 2/1, Made a promising start in this sphere when landing 14-runner handicap chase (11/2) at Catterick (19.2f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Up 5 lb but form has been franked so he's expected to be bang there. Powered ahead on chase debut at Catterick, which bodes well for today's extra yardage. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Horacio Apple's found the drop in trip to his liking when coming home in splendid isolation over an extended 2m4f at Bangor last month, and he merits respect in his follow-up bid. However, a 10lb rise will certainly make life tougher for the Saddex gelding, which brings NEW FOUND FAME into the reckoning. Kerry Lee's charge wasn't disgraced on his first completed start over fences when third at Chepstow in November and there should be more to come. Coniston Clouds enters calculations too.
CONISTON CLOUDS looked a good chasing prospect when going in at the first time of asking at Catterick and can edge out Horacio Apple's who is improving by the run over fences and rates a big threat despite taking a 10 lb hike in the weights for his Bangor victory. New Found Fame appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
Horacio Apple's won easily at Bangor but preference is for CONISTON CLOUDS, who is taken to make it 2-2 over fences.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8)  (10/3 +5%)I'm Too Tired |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) I'm Too Tired 10/3, Yet to win under both codes but he has been placed on all 5 hurdle starts since joining this stable, beaten 6 lengths into third behind Halpha Soleil and Coup de Gold in a C&D handicap on latest. Likely to be in the mix again. Third to Halpha Soleil over C&D on handicap debut and could be thereabouts. |
|||
2nd (11)  (50/1 +0%)Swift Reply |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Swift Reply 50/1, Unseated in a point and limited encouragement so far over hurdles, pulling up on 3m Newcastle handicap debut on latest outing 7 weeks ago. Very lightly raced 8yo who has shown some ability here, but claims are hardly compelling. |
|||
3rd (6)  (17/2 +47%)Big Bee Hive |
17/2(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Big Bee Hive 17/2, Much improved when landing big-field handicap hurdle at Clonmel in March 2022 for Philip Rothwell. Below that level in a very light career in Britain since but he did fare a bit better when fifth of 14 to Halpha Soleil over C&D on Boxing Day and being eased another 3 lb can only help. Step back in right direction when fifth over C&D last time but was behind a few of these. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 +30%)Copper Fox |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Copper Fox 7/1, Below his best over hurdles and fences lately. Has dropped to a career-low mark as a result and it wouldn't be a shock were he to stage a revival in a first-time tongue tie. Not shaping as though he's about to win, but not ruled out off a dangerous mark. |
|||
5th (12)  (16/1 +0%)Getaway With You |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Getaway With You 16/1, Maiden who bettered previous exploits when fourth of 13 in novice handicap hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f) in November. However, more needed if he's to play a part here from 7 lb out of the handicap. 7lb out of the handicap but lightly raced and improvement is possible; not written off. |
|||
6th (9)  (4/1 +0%)Coup De Gold |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Coup De Gold 4/1, Arrives on a long losing run but he is in form, finishing 2½ lengths second of 8 to Halpha Soleil (I'm Too Tired third) over C&D on Boxing Day. One to consider. Poor strike-rate but runner-up here the last twice and can give another good account. |
|||
7th (4)  (14/1 +65%)Cailin Dearg |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cailin Dearg 14/1, Recorded back-to-back wins over C&D in December 2021 but well beaten in 2 comeback outings in recent months, including here. Reduced mark appeals on 2021-22 form but she's struggled since returning from long absence. |
|||
8th (10)  (22/1 -120%)Robin Goodfellow |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Robin Goodfellow 22/1, Poor maiden on Flat who ran his best race back hurdling after 4 months off when third of 10 to El Jefe over 2m here in November. That form is solid for the grade so he's a contender from an unchanged mark, particularly as this trip may help. Fair third over 2m1f here last time and shaped as though this longer trip might suit. |
|||
9th (7)  (25/1 -213%)Better Be Definite |
25/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Better Be Definite 25/1, Modest form in bumpers/hurdles but stands a much more realistic chance now handicapping for first time. One to keep an eye on in the betting. Makes handicap debut off a lowly mark and in a modest race; not discounted; watch betting. |
|||
|F| (2)  (18/1 -50%)Jubilee Gold |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jubilee Gold 18/1, Built on debut promise in Ireland when landing 2m novice hurdle at Fakenham in May 2022 but not seen again until pulling up in a 2m Ludlow handicap in November. Can only be watched after that. Pulled up on h'cap debut but after long absence; interesting to see how he goes in betting. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (3/1 -33%)Halpha Soleil |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Halpha Soleil 3/1, Successful twice in French bumpers and came good over hurdles in a C&D handicap on Boxing Day, seeing off the reopposing Coup de Gold by 2½ lengths. A 5 lb rise may not stop him. Won over C&D on Boxing Day on third handicap start and he's respected up 5lb. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (66/1 -230%)Follow Your Arrow |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Follow Your Arrow 66/1, Won over fences at Hexham in summer 2022. Also placed twice over fences at the beginning of this season but has lost his way since. Remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles and first-time headgear helps to spark a revival. Struggling over fences; major turnaround needed now back over hurdles in cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Boxing Day C&D scorer HALPHA SOLEIL appeared to win with something in hand on that occasion and a double could be on the horizon off a 5lb higher mark. There is a sneaking suspicion that Jubilee Gold could unlock some improvement now faced with a stiffer test of stamina and, despite pulling up on his handicap debut at Ludlow in November, he shouldn't be underestimated. Coup De Gold and I'm Too Tired are others to note.
The C&D handicap won by HALPHA SOLEIL on Boxing Day looks the key piece of form here. Micky Hammond's charge could have more to offer and is taken to confirm his superiority over reopposing pair Coup de Gold and I'm Too Tired. Robin Goodfellow is worth a try over this trip and also makes the shortlist.
The 5yo ROBIN GOODFELLOW kept on well for third over 2m1f here last time and this step up in trip can be the catalyst for a first win.

1st (7)  (7/2 +13%)Bebside Banter |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bebside Banter 7/2, Course winner in November. Folded as if amiss home turn and pulled up quickly in handicap chase (9/4) at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) last month but remains handily weighted if back on song. Won here on chase debut & heavy ground may have been too much at Hexham; retains potential. |
|||
2nd (8)  (11/2 +61%)Robins Field |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Robins Field 11/2, Runner-up twice last spring (including here) but has been below par this winter. Mark drops another 4 lb but needs to show more stepped back up in trip. Had a wind operation. Perhaps wind surgery will prompt a return to form and he's down to an attractive mark. |
|||
3rd (5)  (17/2 +39%)Living's Boy An Co |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Living's Boy An Co 17/2, Off the mark in emphatic fashion over fences at Market Rasen in October 2022 but not much to write home about since (including over hurdles). 10 lb lower than when last seen in this sphere and needs the switch back over fences to spark a revival. Didn't run badly over hurdles last month and fences may well suit better; a possible. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/1 +13%)Royle Steel |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royle Steel 7/1, Fair 2m winner over hurdles who got off the mark in this sphere in a weak contest over C&D in October. Rather predictably not in anywhere near the same form at Catterick 6 weeks later and is easy to oppose given his profile. Disappointing at Catterick latest but won over C&D previously and may get back on track. |
|||
5th (1)  (4/1 -45%)Dr Sanderson |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dr Sanderson 4/1, Failed to land a gamble when fourth of 8 at Catterick (15.7f) last time but that effort represented a step back in the right direction nonetheless. Down another 2 lb (now 28 lb lower than for his last success in July 2022) and must have a huge shout dropping further in grade. Step back in right direction when fourth at Catterick and may be able to build on it. |
|||
6th (2)  (40/1 -21%)Mizuma |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mizuma 40/1, Just bits and pieces of form when trained by Vincent Laurence Halley in Ireland and offered little after 11 weeks off on yard debut at Catterick last month. Market check advised on second stable start but he struggled at Catterick last time. |
|||
7th (9)  (16/1 +0%)Ashjan |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ashjan 16/1, Won 3 times over fences (twice around here). Recent efforts not all that inspiring and a return to chasing failed to spark him back to life over C&D in November, merely passing beaten horses having gone in snatches. Down another 3 lb but very hard to fancy. Two-time course winner who has dropped down the weights, but for good reason. |
|||
|F| (4)  (9/2 -157%)Heeztheboy |
9/2(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heeztheboy 9/2, Offered next to nothing in a bumper/over hurdles but having attracted support, proved a different proposition sent chasing despite being 9 lb out of the weights when scoring at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) on return last month. Step up in trip should pose no problems so he's one to consider. Won by 5l at Hexham on chase/handicap debut and holds strong claims up 7lb. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (10/1 +0%)Eurkash |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eurkash 10/1, Went backwards from a tough race on his reappearance at Southwell but back on track when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) last month. It's now 14 starts since his last success, however. Good runs on two of his last three starts and has more going for him than most of these. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BEBSIDE BANTER's most recent run at Hexham was too bad to be true and he is better judged on his penultimate success here in November, when making his debut over the larger obstacles. Chris Grant's charge is narrowly preferred to Heeztheboy, who was a taking winner over shorter at Hexham last month. Unbeaten in two starts here, Royle Steel can also have a say in proceedings.
Alhough unable to justify strong support at Catterick last month, DR SANDERSON still took a big step back in the right direction from a tumbling mark so Ben Haslam's 10-y-o gets the nod to snap a losing streak dating back to summer 2022 at the expense of Heeztheboy, who proved a different proposition sent chasing when scoring at Hexham recently and could well build on that here. Bebside Banter and Eurkash can fight out third.
The very lightly raced 7yo HEEZTHEBOY (nap) won by 5l at Hexham last month on his chase and handicap debut, and can defy a 7lb rise.

1st (2)  (4/5 +36%)Sunday Soldier |
4/5(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sunday Soldier 4/5, Verging on fair in bumpers in Ireland and left previous hurdling efforts behind when scoring readily on handicap debut at Musselburgh. Improved further when following up over same C&D last week and can complete the hat-trick under a penalty. Easy wins at Musselburgh the last twice; ahead of the handicapper; should be tough to beat. |
|||
2nd (9)  (12/1 +52%)Celestial Fashion |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Celestial Fashion 12/1, Modest maiden who ran creditably from 6 lb out of the weights when fourth in 8-runner handicap hurdle (22/1) at Ayr (16f, soft) 32 days ago. Hood back on. Inconsistent 13-race maiden but form of last-time-out 4th at Ayr has worked out very well. |
|||
3rd (8)  (10/1 -33%)Melvich Bay |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Melvich Bay 10/1, Running creditably when brought down in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good, 9/1) 159 days ago. Can make presence felt if turning up in similar form. 0-12 but some fair form earlier this season and has an each-way chance back from a break. |
|||
4th (1)  (10/1 -33%)Chicago Gal |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chicago Gal 10/1, Fair maiden on Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling on 2 of her 3 starts in juvenile events last winter. Clearly not 100% when pulled up on the level at Kempton in March and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests back over hurdles when third to Sunday Soldier at Musselburgh in December. Fair 3rd on last month's h'cap hurdle debut at Musselburgh; can give another good account. |
|||
5th (6)  (17/2 +74%)Fairland |
17/2(+74%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fairland 17/2, Poor maiden who shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 45 days ago, weakening run-in. Has had a breathing operation since. Ran okay when fifth over C&D last time but needs something extra to post first rules win. |
|||
6th (3)  (8/1 -45%)Callin Baton Rouge |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Callin Baton Rouge 8/1, Showed more than previously in handicaps with cheekpieces discarded when fourth of 9 at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Possibilities if building on that. Back on song with good fourth at Fontwell, after wind op, and can go well once more. |
|||
7th (5)  (17/2 -55%)Riccirella |
17/2(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Riccirella 17/2, Placed in bumpers and got back on track over hurdles switched to a handicap when fourth in 11-runner event at Doncaster (16.6f, good, 40/1) 56 days ago, staying on well. Likely to prove herself well treated when getting a well-run race. Eyecatching fourth at Doncaster and could prove well treated when things really click. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SUNDAY SOLDIER continues to go from strength to strength and a hefty 14lb rise may not be enough to stop her landing the hat-trick following another easy success at Musselburgh last week. The slight step up in trip should not inconvenience either and she gets the vote ahead of Callin Baton Rouge and Riccirella, who ran arguably a career best when not beaten far at Doncaster.
SUNDAY SOLDIER is improving in leaps and bounds and can make it 3 from 3 in handicaps. Riccirella is likely to prove herself well treated when getting a strong pace to aim at, while Melvich Bay and Chicago Gal are a couple of others with solid place claims.
It is very difficult to oppose SUNDAY SOLDIER, who made it 2-2 in handicaps when bolting up at Musselburgh last Friday.

9/1(+87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Im The Boss 9/1, €52,000 3-y-o, £8,500 5-y-o, Sea Moon gelding. Brother to fair 17f hurdle winner The Moon Sea's Me. Wears hood. Unplaced both completed starts in Irish points (latest May 2023). No impact in points but has joined up-and-coming yard for rules career; check the betting. |
|||
1st (9)  (9/2 -64%)Speed Davis |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Speed Davis 9/2, Successful sole start between the flags and, while he fell below expectations on Rules debut at Kelso 9 months ago, there's scope for better. Point winner; only sixth when favourite on bumper debut but could take big step forward. |
|||
2nd (6)  (22/1 -57%)Lawrenny |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lawrenny 22/1, Dam (h95), lightly raced over hurdles, 1¾m-2m winner on Flat. Showed something when fourth of 5 Bangor on debut but more needed if he's to seriously feature. 4th of five on debut at Bangor; open to improvement, particularly if getting better gallop. |
|||
3rd (3)  (3/1 -100%)Future Fortune |
3/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Future Fortune 3/1, Out of a winning chaser but showed enough know-how to make a successful bumper debut at Hereford in October. Came up short in listed company next time but capable of getting back to winning ways in calmer waters. Won on debut at Hereford; tailed off in Listed race since; leading claims on initial form. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This represents a drop in grade for FUTURE FORTUNE and, having disappointed in Listed company last time out at Ascot, the Hereford winner can get back on track. She should have too much for Speed Davis and Lawrenny, who shaped with a bit of promise on debut at Bangor last month. Newcomers Ada's Day and Noble Don must also enter calculations.
FUTURE FORTUNE's winning debut was quite impressive and she's worth excusing a lesser effort in a higher grade since, so she's fancied to resume winning ways for all that Speed Davis is expected to fare better than on his Rules debut. Noble Don is another one to consider.
Point winner SPEED DAVIS was an unplaced favourite on his bumper debut at Kelso last April but retains potential and earns the vote.

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.
