33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Boomslang 33/1, Schiaparelli gelding who went with some encouragement in a couple of bumpers but was never involved on hurdles debut last month. | |||

11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dr Shirocco 11/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs but he recorded a good second of 12 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f) 12 days ago. 10 lb out of the handicap here, though. | |||

2nd (4)  (3/1 +33%)Basford |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Basford 3/1, Failed to kick on after a winning start in bumpers last season and ran to modest level when fourth on hurdles bow at Bangor (16.7f) in October.

9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Astroman 9/1, Step back in right direction when third in handicap hurdle here (16.8f) in December and not discredited when fourth at Market Rasen (20.6f) next time. Remains a maiden over hurdles but has dropped further in the weights. | |||

7th (3)  (40/1 -60%)Moonlight Glory |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moonlight Glory 40/1, Twice a winner over hurdles in Ireland and good start for new yard when runner-up in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f) in March. Has gone backwards since then. though. Others more persuasive back hurdling again. | |||

50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Iolani 50/1, C&D winner who produced one of his better efforts this season when fourth here in September. However, let down by jumping when pulled up at Carlisle the following month. | |||
|PU| (2)  (12/1 -60%)Benito |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Benito 12/1, Doubled tally over hurdles at Cartmel (22.1f) in June prior to finishing runner-up next 2 starts. Jumped none too fluently when turning in a rare poor effort at Ayr in November, but no surprise to see him bounce back. | |||
|PU| (12)  (40/1 -60%)No Mor Isolation |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) No Mor Isolation 40/1, Upped in trip and in first-time cheekpieces, again finished well held in handicap at Musselburgh (23.8f) on New Year's Day. Application of visor and tongue tie needs to spark major improvement. | |||
|PU| (6)  (150/1 -50%)Wonderoftheworld |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wonderoftheworld 150/1, Dual winning pointer/one-time useful chaser but nothing like same force in hunters nowadays.

1/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tom Creen 1/1, Landed a point in May and returned to Rules with a polished display to see off a thriving rival over C&D and again went with enthusiasm when second at Catterick 12 days ago. Fancied to resume winning ways. | |||
2nd (8)  (5.5/1 +0%)Cash Again |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cash Again 5.5/1, C&D winner who returned to form when second here 71 days ago. Leniently treated and worthy of consideration. | |||

25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Relkadam 25/1, Won off a higher mark at Catterick last season but has been out of sorts this term. Others more persuasive. | |||
4th (9)  (25/1 -14%)Lucky Robin |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lucky Robin 25/1, Let down by jumping on the whole over fences and failed to fire over hurdles at Market Rasen last time. Needs visor to perk him up. | |||
5th (4)  (6/1 +25%)Zuckerberg |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zuckerberg 6/1, Well backed when belatedly opening his account on these shores at this course in November in November. Disappointing next time but has won on the Flat since, so can't be discounted. | |||
6th (5)  (4/1 -14%)Large Action |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Large Action 4/1, 25/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago, easily. Carries penalty. Should make his presence felt if in the same mood. | |||
7th (3)  (50/1 -213%)Ashjan |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ashjan 50/1, Won 3 times in the spring this last year but found good run of form coming to a halt when last seen at Kelso in May and below best here 42 days ago. Might strip fitter for that outing. | |||
|PU| (11)  (12/1 -20%)Graystown |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Graystown 12/1, Sketchy jumper who fell at Hexham 58 days ago. Capable off this mark on his day, so not ruled out stepping back up in trip. | |||
|PU| (1)  (28/1 -211%)Ard Chros |
28/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ard Chros 28/1, Front-runner who landed hat-trick of wins between 2m-2½m at Carlisle and Ayr (2) late last season. Almost certainly needed his return at Ayr last month and could bounce back with blinkers refitted. |

2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Onestepatatime 2.5/1, Shaping up quite well over fences, finishing a place in front of the re-opposing Sir Apollo at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained. Respected. | |||
2nd (3)  (16/1 -60%)Morningside |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Morningside 16/1, Upped his game when runner-up twice last March but he didn't offer much in 2 comeback outings towards the end of 2022. A recent wind operation needs to help him to get back on track. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.33/1 -11%)Morozov Cocktail |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Morozov Cocktail 3.33/1, Ended last season with win in 6-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (3m) in April. Better effort this term when third of 11 at Kelso over Christmas. Thereabouts. | |||
4th (4)  (1.75/1 +30%)Sir Apollo |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sir Apollo 1.75/1, Off the mark in C&D handicap in November. Better than the result when sixth of 13 at Wetherby on Boxing Day, seeming to pay for racing prominently in a well-run affair. Bold show on the cards back here. | |||
5th (6)  (14/1 +22%)Cudgel |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cudgel 14/1, All 4 wins gained at Hexham, most recently over fences last March. Off 5 months, ran poorly in a hurdle there in November so does have a bit to prove now back chasing at a different venue. | |||
|PU| (1)  (10/1 -186%)Forpaddytheplumber |
10/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Forpaddytheplumber 10/1, Irish point recruit who won a bumper and maiden hurdle for this yard last season. Made an inauspicious start to his chase career at Ayr (20.5f) in November but given time since and no surprise were he to do a lot better this time. Significantly up in trip. |

11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ravenscar 11/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who deservedly opened her account over hurdles in a Newcastle handicap (16.2f) last season. However, not in same form at Musselburgh on final hurdle outing and ran no sort of race back on the level at Redcar in October. | |||
2nd (5)  (5/1 -11%)Somewhat Cloudy |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Somewhat Cloudy 5/1, Won a mares' maiden last season and has returned from 9 months off with a pair of respectable efforts. Eased a further 2 lb and likely to be competitive. | |||
3rd (7)  (7.5/1 -15%)Poppy Rose |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Poppy Rose 7.5/1, Failed to improve after 9 weeks off when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, heavy, 28/1) 15 days ago. More needed. | |||
4th (2)  (3.33/1 -21%)Maggie Barrett |
3.33/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Maggie Barrett 3.33/1, Built on her stable debut when landing 4-runner maiden hurdle here (19.8f, soft) 52 days ago, edging ahead dying strides. Her mark looks fair back in handicap company on that evidence and handy conditional also takes over in the saddle. Leading claims. | |||
5th (8)  (3.2/1 +42%)Misty Mani |
3.2/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Misty Mani 3.2/1, Returned from a break in fine form, completing a hat-trick at Market Rasen in September, and has run well in defeat on her completed starts since. Should remain competitive. | |||

7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Toughasoldboots 7/1, Made a successful debut over hurdles in a race that fell apart at Huntingdon in May. Hasn't yet built on that, though wasn't disgraced after 5 months off on just her second handicap start when third at Leicester (15.5f) 43 days ago. Merits consideration. | |||
7th (1)  (10/1 +29%)Red Reminder |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Red Reminder 10/1, Fair hurdler who resumed winning ways in a handicap at Hexham in March 2021. Ran only respectably up in trip at Kelso the following month and has been absence since then. Market best guide to expectations on return. | |||
|U| (6)  (10/1 -33%)Licit |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Licit 10/1, Twice a winner on the Flat in the autumn and wasn't overly knocked about returned to this sphere (first run over hurdles for the best part of 2 years) in a 20.3f novice at Newcastle in November. Drop back in trip should help and opening mark looks fair. |

2nd (1)  (2.5/1 +9%)Ballygeary |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ballygeary 2.5/1, £25,000 5-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (2m-2¼m winner) Blue Shark. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Oct 1) and he's a most interesting bumper debutant for good yard. | |||
3rd (2)  (5.5/1 -10%)Bells Express |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bells Express 5.5/1, €10,000 3-y-o, £50,000 5-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Top Cat Henry. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful staying hurdler Latchford. Had wind op and he's an interesting debutant (yard 4-6 in this sphere this term). | |||
4th (5)  (2.5/1 -11%)Shady Daisy |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shady Daisy 2.5/1, Sister to a couple of bumper winners and solid start when third at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in May. Likely to have gone close but for running out at Stratford (2m) a month later and that best put down to greenness for now. One to consider. | |||

12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Darjink 12/1, Dartmouth gelding. Dam (h110) 2¾m hurdle winner, also 11.6f winner on Flat. Easy to back, showed a bit amidst greenness when fifth in 6-runner Ayr bumper (2m) in November and he's entitled to come on for that. | |||

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.
