1st (4)  (11/1 -69%)Stamina Chope |
11/1(-69%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stamina Chope 11/1, Fair maiden hurdler at best who hasn't really fired for this stable. Better effort over fences when second at Ffos Las recently, but hard to be sure that he'll back it up. | |||
2nd (2)  (2/1 -14%)Moonlight Glory |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moonlight Glory 2/1, 12/1, first run since leaving Brian M. McMahon when creditable second of 13 in handicap chase at Hexham. New yard is going well, so he's worth a chance to go one better. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.25/1 +38%)Spot On Soph |
1.25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Spot On Soph 1.25/1, Going the right way over fences lately, scoring comfortably at Catterick a month ago. Runner-up has let that form down since but it's backed up by the time, and this sharp track should suit her (travels well). | |||
|U| (1)  (3.5/1 -17%)Anightinlambourn |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anightinlambourn 3.5/1, Fair hurdler who matched that form for the first time over fences when scoring at Huntingdon 23 days ago. Solid claims if she can back that up. |

1st (5)  (7/1 +7%)Not What It Seems |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Not What It Seems 7/1, Fair maiden hurdler who ran up to his best when second in a Catterick maiden (19.3f) in February, though flattered by proximity to the winner. Well held in handicap company last time. Others preferred. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -33%)Haas Boy |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Haas Boy 3/1, Fair form in bumpers and made a smooth transition to hurdling when winning maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f) 23 days ago. Should improve up in trip. Major player. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.38/1 +50%)Where's Hector |
1.38/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Where's Hector 1.38/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Does He Know. Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles, runner-up all 4 starts including in C&D novice 33 days ago. Vulnerable again for win purposes. | |||
4th (2)  (2/1 -14%)Gold Miner |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gold Miner 2/1, Winning pointer who shaped well when placed in maiden/novice hurdles towards the end of 2020. Stepped up on comeback when runner-up at Musselburgh (19.8f) last month. Can get off the mark in 1st time cheekpieces. | |||
5th (3)  (250/1 -150%)Karapiro Doug |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Karapiro Doug 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden who has finished well held in bumpers/novice hurdles. Needs another run for a mark. | |||
6th (4)  (66/1 -371%)Last One To Show |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Last One To Show 66/1, Off 15 months prior to his second start over hurdles, not knocked about when fourth of 5 in novice at Kelso (16.2f) 13 days ago. Upped in trip, but could be more one for the future (chaser on looks). | |||
|PU| (7)  (300/1 -200%)Galaxy Dancer |
300/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Galaxy Dancer 300/1, Has shown little in a pair of bumpers 11 months apart, finishing down the field at Catterick in February on return. Up in trip for hurdles debut. |

1st (5)  (2.25/1 -20%)Bonne Vitesse |
2.25/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bonne Vitesse 2.25/1, Surpassed Flat form on hurdles debut when springing a bit of a surprise at Wetherby in January. Hasn't progressed as expected over hurdles yet, but looks to have been found a fine opportunity to get back on track here. | |||
2nd (1)  (0.5/1 +32%)Minelladestination |
0.5/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Minelladestination 0.5/1, Winning start to her career in a 2m Wetherby novice hurdle in February and a similar level of performance should see her win this, though she was a shade disappointing when only second at Hexham last time. | |||
3rd (4)  (50/1 -25%)Shantou Boudicca |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shantou Boudicca 50/1, LIttle impact in bumpers/over hurdles. | |||
4th (2)  (10/1 -43%)Chestnut Rose |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chestnut Rose 10/1, Looked a longer-term prospect in bumpers for Gordon Elliott and likely best watched on first start for new yard. | |||
5th (3)  (300/1 -355%)Outofthegloom |
300/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Outofthegloom 300/1, Little form on the flat and struggled before pulling up on hurdles debut over C&D 15 days ago. A very unlikely sort. |

1st (6)  (5/1 +9%)Myburg |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Myburg 5/1, Upped in trip and much improved when off the mark in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f) in February. Unsuited by going back over shorter at Newcastle next time. Interesting on chase debut. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -20%)Fulgurix |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fulgurix 3/1, 7-y-o who ran up to best when runner-up at Leicester (15.9f) in February. Possible 19f on heavy ground stretched him when filling same spot at Exeter last month. Respected. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.25/1 +10%)Cool Country |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cool Country 2.25/1, In the process of running his best race for a long time when falling at the last at Catterick in March, but gained compensation when making all in handicap here (19.3f) 15 days later. Cheekpieces back on. Leading player. | |||
4th (7)  (8.5/1 -6%)Onenightintown |
8.5/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Onenightintown 8.5/1, Remains a maiden following 23 attempts under Rules but ran 2 of his better races when runner-up twice last month, including in novice handicap here (19.3f) on second occasion. Below form last time though. | |||
5th (5)  (40/1 +20%)Rocco Storm |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rocco Storm 40/1, Still to get his head in front in 13 starts over hurdles, offering little in 3 starts for his current yard. Makes chase debut with a lot to prove. | |||
6th (9)  (50/1 -25%)Chance Finale |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Chance Finale 50/1, Little form over hurdles and always behind in novice handicap at Wetherby on chasing debut. Unfortunate circumstances when hampered and fell at the second next time, but others still preferred. | |||
|U| (2)  (10/1 -43%)Bourbon Borderline |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bourbon Borderline 10/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden hurdler who, after 11 months off, shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 6 on chasing/stable debut at Stratford in August. Unexposed but has another 7-month absence to overcome. | |||
|PU| (3)  (7/1 -8%)Leeswood Lily |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Leeswood Lily 7/1, Winner of back-to-back handicap hurdles here (16.8f) earlier in the year. Below par at Musselburgh next time but back on track when mid-field upped in class at same course last time. Makes chase debut. | |||
|PU| (8)  (14/1 +0%)That's Your Lottie |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) That's Your Lottie 14/1, Ran poorly on chase debut at Carlisle in December but runner-up in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f) next time. However, that remains a standout effort so she has enough to prove back over fences. |

80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) That's My Dubai 80/1, Arrives out of sorts, well beaten on all 3 completed starts this season. Easy enough to look elsewhere. | |||
1st (13)  (3/1 +54%)Great Raffles |
3/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Great Raffles 3/1, Produced best effort for current yard when third in handicap at Wetherby (19.7f) in February and stepped up again when finally off the mark at the same course (24.1f) 17 days ago. Longer trip could suit. | |||
2nd (9)  (4/1 -20%)Cresswell Queen |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cresswell Queen 4/1, Unplaced in an Irish point and had showed little under Rules prior to winning handicap hurdle over C&D 15 days ago. Had a bit in hand and can go well again back here. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 +56%)Atomic Angel |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Atomic Angel 4/1, Winner of handicap hurdles at Hexham and over C&D this season. May have preferred softer ground at Musselburgh (23.8f) 14 days ago, but could find one or two too strong in this contest. | |||
4th (11)  (8.5/1 -55%)Bobbie The Dazzler |
8.5/1(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bobbie The Dazzler 8.5/1, First run since leaving Kenny Johnson when causing a shock from out of the weights in handicap hurdle over C&D 33 day ago, getting the better of Bird On The Wire. Needs to be able to back that up. | |||
5th (4)  (5.5/1 +21%)Dequall |
5.5/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dequall 5.5/1, Has been running well this season without getting his head in front, finishing in the frame at around 25f in his last 2 starts in this sphere. Third over fences 22 days ago. Interesting trying this longer trip over hurdles. | |||
6th (8)  (11/1 -22%)Bonny Houxty |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bonny Houxty 11/1, More encouraging signs when fourth in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f) last month but unable to step forward from that effort at Ayr since. Continues to fall in the weights as a result. Up in trip. | |||
7th (12)  (25/1 +24%)Realms Of Fire |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Realms Of Fire 25/1, In the process of outrunning odds of 66/1 when fell 2 out (still every chance) in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f) in February. However, ran poorly when pulled up at the same C&D 8 days ago. | |||
8th (2)  (33/1 -18%)Hideo |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hideo 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France but has quickly dropped in the weights after failing to show much in 4 starts for current yard. Needs return to hurdling over this longer trip to spark a revival. | |||
|PU| (7)  (12/1 -20%)The Wise Traveller |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Wise Traveller 12/1, Produced best effort so far when third in novice handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f) in January, but went with little encouragement over fences last 2 starts. Cheekpieces applied reverted to hurdling. | |||
|PU| (10)  (66/1 -65%)Nakadam |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Nakadam 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in handicap chase at Hexham (31.9f) back in November 2020. Form has gone the wrong way following that success. Back over hurdles for the first time since 2016. |

3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Well Cliche 3.33/1, Placed twice this season, including over C&D 43 days ago. Possibly stretched by the trip on that occasion but she looks competitive on form. | |||
2nd (6)  (12/1 -41%)To The Limit |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) To The Limit 12/1, Unable to make any impact from well out of the handicap last time but did score at Kelso in January and isn't ruled out back at a more realistic level. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -71%)Wake Up Early |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wake Up Early 6/1, Sketchy jumper when trained in Ireland by F. Flood but produced a career-best on debut for this yard when scoring at Fakenham last month. Stable continues in form and further progress likely. | |||
4th (10)  (14/1 +44%)Hidden Glen |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hidden Glen 14/1, Well treated on his best form but wasn't with Dr Richard Newland long and he's looked regressive for current yard. Hard to recommend. | |||
5th (9)  (9/1 -6%)Kildrum |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kildrum 9/1, Poor maiden over hurdles and has seemingly been going through the motions as a chaser, soundly beaten over C&D 43 days ago. Hard to fancy. | |||
6th (7)  (3.5/1 +22%)Ballintogher Boy |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ballintogher Boy 3.5/1, Seemingly improved for the application of a tongue strap, confirming the promise of C&D second to get off the mark at Newcastle last month. 4 lb higher here but should give another good account. | |||
7th (2)  (22/1 -144%)Justforjames |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Justforjames 22/1, Veteran tends to go well here but ran no sort of race at Catterick last time and looks vulnerable for win purposes. | |||
8th (5)  (7.5/1 +46%)Going Mobile |
7.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Going Mobile 7.5/1, Seemingly went off the boil after a heavy summer campaign, but could prove well-treated if returning from a 6 month break in better form. | |||
9th (4)  (18/1 -13%)Loch Linnhe |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Loch Linnhe 18/1, Lightly raced and no great encouragement since landing a handicap chase at Southwell (3m) in spring 2019, so hard to much confidence returning to fences here. | |||
|PU| (3)  (8/1 -7%)Classic Escape |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Classic Escape 8/1, Ran respectably over hurdles last time but is prone to mistakes over fences and others looks more persuasive. |

10/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hey Bob 10/1, Enjoyed a productive season, scoring at Plumpton amongst a couple of creditable placed efforts. Showed why he's not one to fully rely on when wandering there last time but he should have enough to figure prominently here. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.5/1 +44%)William Cody |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) William Cody 2.5/1, Consistent type who ran a creditable race when fifth at Southwell last month. Best form all comes over notably further, though, so needs to prove he is as effective at this trip. | |||
3rd (7)  (4/1 +47%)Penpal |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Penpal 4/1, French claiming winner has largely struggled since joining this yard, though produced a standout recent effort when fourth at Carlisle in February. Didn't back that up last time, though. | |||
4th (1)  (14/1 +0%)Kiss My Face |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kiss My Face 14/1, Still to register a victory but not discredited in handicaps during the autumn. Disappointing so far in 2022, though, so now has something to prove. | |||
5th (4)  (20/1 -67%)Top Attraction |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Top Attraction 20/1, Temperamental type on the Flat who has made an inauspicious start to his hurdling career. Best effort in this sphere did come at this track, but hard to warm to. | |||
6th (9)  (40/1 +0%)Ivors Involvement |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ivors Involvement 40/1, Veteran lightly-raced on the Flat/over hurdles in recent years. Only minor promise when fifth of 9 on his first hurdles start for a year at Wetherby last time and hard to know what to expect from this C&D winner. | |||
7th (10)  (28/1 -133%)Infiniti |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Infiniti 28/1, Placed at Market Rasen/Leicester on her final 2 starts for Barry Leavy but has gone with no promise for this yard and needs the reapplication of blinkers to spark her up. | |||
8th (11)  (18/1 -64%)Baraboy |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Baraboy 18/1, Inconsistent type nowadays but proved his capabilities from this sort of mark when winning at Hexham in November and he's not ruled out if able to quickly bounce back from recent C&D flop. | |||
9th (8)  (9/1 +10%)One Step Too Far |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) One Step Too Far 9/1, Fair maiden on Flat up to 1¼m, but just modest form at best over hurdles and failed to justify support in a handicap at Newcastle last time. May prove capable of better. | |||
10th (5)  (2.75/1 +0%)Killane |
2.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Killane 2.75/1, Winner of 3 races this season, including at Carlisle 19 days ago. Previously struggled from marks in the 80s but there's not much depth to this race and he's likely the one to beat again. | |||
|PU| (13)  (50/1 +50%)Jupiter Road |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Jupiter Road 50/1, Yet to show any aptitude for hurdling and easily passed over again in 1st-time cheekpieces. |

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.
