(2)  (28/1 -12%)Blame The Farrier |
28/1(-12%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blame The Farrier 28/1, Half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Strange Notions. 16/1, showed a bit when fifth of 9 on Southwell bumper debut but not enough to suggest he's likely to play a leading here. | |||
1st (1)  (0.14/1 +44%)Richmond Lake |
0.14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Richmond Lake 0.14/1, Showed some promise on sole bumper start in Ireland and made a winning hurdling debut in good style at Bangor in November. Similar form when third in better race at Aintree since. Can't oppose. | |||
3rd (4)  (4.5/1 +10%)Tiger Jet |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tiger Jet 4.5/1, Failed to threaten in points but showed plenty when chasing home Bold Endeavour on his C&D hurdle debut. Unsuited by drop back to 2m at Ayr since and retains potential back over further. | |||
4th (6)  (125/1 -56%)Songbird's Tale |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Songbird's Tale 125/1, Big prices and down the field in 4 bumpers. Big outsider now hurdling back from nearly 8 months off. | |||
5th (3)  (80/1 -60%)Lenny |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lenny 80/1, Well held in 2 bumpers in recent weeks ahead of this switch to hurdles. |

(3)  (8/1 +20%)Calliope |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Calliope 8/1, Reliable mare who has slipped to 3 lb below last winning mark. Form of last time out fourth (17.2f, soft) at Carlisle 48 days ago now reads well and has good claims. Cheekpieces replace blinkers. | |||
(1)  (9/1 -29%)Joie De Vivre |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Joie De Vivre 9/1, Only 4 lb higher than winning over C&D in October, emphatically beating a well fancied stable debutant. Two poor runs since but she may bounce back down in class. | |||
(12)  (28/1 +0%)Skipness |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Skipness 28/1, Has shown very little in 5 handicap starts over hurdles, despite a tumbling mark. Pulled up at Hexham (2m7f, 40/1) 18 days ago and is opposable. | |||
(7)  (80/1 -21%)One Step Too Far |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) One Step Too Far 80/1, Showed signs of ability in a pair of novice hurdles in the spring but ran poorly when pulled up at 80/1 on handicap debut at Wetherby 58 days ago (21.2f). Now tongue tied. 1st preference 1.35 Wetherby | |||
1st (6)  (2.25/1 +36%)Cailin Dearg |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cailin Dearg 2.25/1, Showed benefit of seasonal appearance when a clear cut course and distance winner 23 days ago. Unexposed and under seemingly ideal conditions is a big player off 6 lb higher. | |||
2nd (10)  (2.5/1 -25%)Shoeshine Boy |
2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Shoeshine Boy 2.5/1, Improved significantly for step up in trip on handicap debut when second of 9 (7/2, 20.1f) at Hexham 39 days ago. Winner Shoughall’s Boy has gone in again and he has a big chance under Brian Hughes. | |||
3rd (2)  (7.5/1 +0%)Cash Again |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cash Again 7.5/1, Handicapper quick to drop him after two poor runs without the cheekpieces that brought about improvement last season. Return to form for the C&D winner could coincide with those being reapplied today. | |||
4th (9)  (18/1 +45%)Lostnfound |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lostnfound 18/1, Struggled for form when last seen in June and boasts a less than inspiring strike rate. Now 4lb lower than when winning here in November 2020, but a lot is to be taken on trust to side with. | |||
5th (14)  (12/1 +64%)Bollin Phoenix |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Bollin Phoenix 12/1, Handicap debutant with little form in three novice starts. 100/1 when 7th of 10 at Newcastle (2m, good to soft), though the form of the race is starting to work out. Worth a market check. | |||
6th (8)  (12/1 +25%)Miracle Eagle |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Miracle Eagle 12/1, Failed to feature on handicap debut in June off what looked to be a stiff looking mark. Has performed respectably on the Flat since and visor applied for the first time over jumps off 3 lb lower. | |||
7th (13)  (28/1 +44%)Ribeye |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Ribeye 28/1, Yet to show form over hurdles to date, but has been kept to the minimum trip since hurdling debut. His pedigree suggests he needs further to show his true ability and more may be revealed today. | |||
8th (11)  (28/1 +58%)Trac |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Trac 28/1, Shown only glimpses in 3 starts since arriving from France, last of 10 latest at Wetherby (100/1, 24.1f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces worn previously go on here back down in trip so market check needed. | |||
|F| (5)  (5.5/1 +27%)Don Brocco |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Don Brocco 5.5/1, Lightly raced five-year-old who showed best form to date 12 days ago, when an excellent third of 17 at Catterick behind a gambled on winner. Claims if able to back that up on softer going. |

(8)  (10/1 +0%)Coeur Aimant |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Coeur Aimant 10/1, Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth in 20f handicap at Hexham 39 days ago. Makes chase debut now, and he shouldn't be dismissed. | |||
1st (1)  (10/1 -67%)Blueberry Wine |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blueberry Wine 10/1, Tongue strap on when never-dangerous eighth of 12 in handicap at Kelso (17.1f) on his debut over fences 64 days ago. More is needed now after a wind op. | |||
2nd (3)  (3.5/1 +42%)Barnay |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Barnay 3.5/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. Best of his three runs in this sphere when third of 12 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f) 12 days ago. Not discounted off 3 lb lower mark here. | |||
3rd (4)  (3.5/1 +30%)Fightfortheroses |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fightfortheroses 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 22 runs, but he posted respectable fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) 39 days ago. Bit more is needed if he's to gain a first win here though. | |||
4th (6)  (5/1 +17%)Budarri |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Budarri 5/1, Scored twice over fences during early 2019. Not totally disgraced after long absence this term, third of 9 in handicap at Hexham (15.6f) 18 days ago. Shortlisted off a reduced mark. | |||
5th (2)  (3/1 -9%)Gouet Des Bruyeres |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gouet Des Bruyeres 3/1, Bagged 2m Worcester handicap chase in September and not disgraced back over hurdles when third at Bangor (16.7f) 16 days ago. Weighted to go well returned to this sphere. | |||
|U| (5)  (7/1 +0%)Roxyfet |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Roxyfet 7/1, Six-time course winner, but he's not the force of old nowadays and came in a below-par fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) 18 days ago. Unreliable type, too. |

8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Twoshotsoftequila 8/1, Fair form in a couple of bumpers. Offered something to work on when third in a 2m Hexham novice on hurdle debut but has failed to reproduce that in his 2 runs since. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 -13%)King Arise |
2.25/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Arise 2.25/1, Won sole point and ran to a fair level when 6 lengths third of 9 on his 2m Southwell hurdle debut 26 days ago. May do better and looks sure to go well. | |||
3rd (1)  (4.5/1 +0%)Adelphi Sprite |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Adelphi Sprite 4.5/1, Has reached the frame 3 times in course bumpers, running his best race when third last month. Hurdle debut. | |||

50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kiltorcan Boy 50/1, Looks more one for handicaps based on his runs at Hexham and Newcastle last month. | |||

22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Doors Breaker 22/1, £30,000 half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Flag of Honour (2m winner). Dam dam 6f-9f winner. Has had wind surgery ahead of debut. Betting should help guide to expectations. | |||
|F| (2)  (1.38/1 -25%)Barnabas Collins |
1.38/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barnabas Collins 1.38/1, Made a winning start to his career in a Carlisle bumper for Stuart Crawford in November 2020. Bought for £40,000 the following month. Very interesting hurdle newcomer for leading stable. |

25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Melvich Bay 25/1, Went backwards from her debut bumper second when only thirteenth in similar event at Newcastle 17 days ago. Has the form to play a part if getting back on track in first-time hood. | |||

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.
