1st (5)  (3.33/1 +5%)Bbold |
3.33/1(+5%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bbold 3.33/1, Second win for this yard when seeing off 6 rivals over 3m here last July. Not seen again until fifth of 7 at Cheltenham last month, fading before 2 out. Should be sharper for the run and respected back at a venue which clearly suits. | |||
2nd (1)  (1/1 +28%)Via Dolorosa |
1/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Via Dolorosa 1/1, Useful in France and matched that form for current yard when landing 3m handicaps here and at Fakenham in March. Latest Market Rasen second shows he's still in good form. Bold show likely. | |||
3rd (3)  (10/1 -43%)Springtown Lake |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Springtown Lake 10/1, Talented sort who ended his time for Philip Hobbs out of sorts and well held on completed start for new stable last winter. Been off a further 117 days. | |||
|PU| (4)  (4.5/1 -50%)Ofalltheginjoints |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ofalltheginjoints 4.5/1, Made a promising start to his chase career in autumn 2020 but much more miss than hit since, finishing a remote last of 3 at Kempton (3m) last time. Temperament under suspicion. | |||
|PU| (2)  (12/1 -33%)Shoal Bay |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shoal Bay 12/1, Useful at his best but lost his way last season, finishing a remote third at Newton Abbot last month on his completed start since joining Olly Murphy. On a winning mark but hard to know whether he's in good enough form to take advantage. Can make mistakes. |

1st (3)  (1.5/1 +14%)Floating Rock |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Floating Rock 1.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 11/4, encouraging second of 5 in novice chase at Hexham (20.1f) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Needs to take a step forward though if he's to trouble the market leaders. | |||
2nd (5)  (22/1 +33%)Glan Y Gors |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Glan Y Gors 22/1, Modest hurdler who was pulled up in handicap chase (28/1) at Uttoxeter (22.5f) on debut over fences 4 days ago. Lots to find on form. | |||
3rd (6)  (0.57/1 -43%)Allavina |
0.57/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Allavina 0.57/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Yet to score in this sphere but not disgraced when second of 3 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f) 50 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to improve his jumping, but is the clear form pick. | |||
4th (2)  (250/1 -150%)Earth Spirit |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Earth Spirit 250/1, Had wind op before coming in last of 3 in novice chase at Worcester (16.5f). Off 9 months with lots of work to do. | |||
|PU| (4)  (250/1 -67%)Glacier Fox |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glacier Fox 250/1, Poor hurdler/chaser. 66/1, pulled up in handicap chase here 35 days ago. Down in trip and easy to look elsewhere. |

1st (5)  (1.75/1 +30%)Loughermore |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Loughermore 1.75/1, Some creditable efforts at up to 21f this spring but he faded when stepped back up to 3m at Perth last week so it remains to be seen whether this even longer trip plays to his strengths. | |||
2nd (1)  (11/1 -100%)Zoffalee |
11/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zoffalee 11/1, Multiple hurdles winner in Ireland. Yet to really shine over fences but his mark has come down and he did hint at a revival when third of 4 over 19f at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Can figure if his stamina holds over this significantly longer trip. | |||
3rd (3)  (2/1 -60%)Tikk Tock Boom |
2/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tikk Tock Boom 2/1, On a good mark judged on past efforts and back in better form when placed twice this spring. This looks a nice opening for her. | |||
4th (2)  (3.5/1 +36%)Frisco Bay |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Frisco Bay 3.5/1, Was still in front when unseating 3 out at Wetherby (3m) in March, but he's added to his patchy record by pulling up twice since. Blinkers worn last time quickly discarded in favour of usual cheekpieces. Hard to know what mood he'll turn up in. | |||
5th (4)  (8/1 -7%)Happy Larry |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Happy Larry 8/1, Distant last of 5 on Fontwell chase debut in March. Ran better over hurdles there since but can only really be watched back over fences given what happened on the first attempt. |

1st (4)  (3.2/1 +4%)Victory Club |
3.2/1(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Victory Club 3.2/1, £8,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Quinlandio. Dam 2m hurdle winner. Off mark in points at second attempt in February and of obvious interest on Rules debut for top yard. | |||
2nd (1)  (25/1 -25%)Gone In Sixty |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gone In Sixty 25/1, Sixties Icon gelding. Brother to 16.6f winner on Flat Hewouldwouldnthe and half-brother to to 7f-1m winner Waspy. Dam 1¼m winner. No forlorn hope. | |||
3rd (10)  (25/1 +11%)Bella Ciao |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Bella Ciao 25/1, Big price and didn't offer a great deal at Cheltenham first time out. Hooded now, but others make more appeal. | |||
4th (8)  (66/1 -65%)Robber's Bridge |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Robber's Bridge 66/1, £20,000 3-y-o, Frammassone gelding. Brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Gabbys Cross, stays 3m,. Wears hood. | |||
5th (5)  (2/1 -60%)Benefact |
2/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Benefact 2/1, €80,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Wide Receiver, stayed 2½m, and half-brother to 2 winners, including useful chaser Soldier of Destiny. Has to be on the shortlist for leading stable on debut. | |||
6th (3)  (6/1 -33%)Huntsman's Call |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Huntsman's Call 6/1, Flat-bred gelding who has shown modest form to date, third at Kelso earlier in the month. Likely to be thereabouts, but obviously vulnerable to anything above-average. | |||
7th (9)  (150/1 -355%)Youconduit |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Youconduit 150/1, Conduit gelding. Dam (c77/h72) 3m/3¼m hurdle/chase winner out of 2m-2½m hurdle winner Sillymore. Likely to need time and distance. | |||
8th (2)  (25/1 +24%)High Yield |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) High Yield 25/1, Yet to show anything in two starts and cheekpieces are now applied as well as a tongue strap. Hard to fancy. | |||
9th (7)  (22/1 -38%)Dubai Jeanius |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dubai Jeanius 22/1, Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat but there wasn't much promise in his debut at Ludlow 28 days ago. Hard to make a case for. | |||
10th (6)  (3/1 +45%)Captain Lara |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Captain Lara 3/1, Maxios gelding. Dam, 1m/8.4f winner who stayed 10.3f, half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 21f) Thomas Hobson. Notable newcomer. |

1st (9)  (4/1 +0%)Lunar Shadow |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lunar Shadow 4/1, Dam, bumper/19f-2½m hurdle winner, sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 3¼m) The Dutchman. Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1½m, down the field last time. Should take to hurdling. | |||
2nd (8)  (4/1 -60%)Ultimate Fame |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ultimate Fame 4/1, Reportedly suffered from heat stress when disappointing on final bumper start in September. Did win in that sphere though and while her recent hurdles debut was one to forget, this will reveal a lot more. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.88/1 +32%)Miss Chantelle |
1.88/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Miss Chantelle 1.88/1, Left bumper form behind when third of 7 starting out over hurdles at Kempton in March. Similar form when occupying same spot despite a few untidy jumps at Market Rasen and that sets the standard. | |||
4th (7)  (12/1 +45%)Symbolic Spirit |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Symbolic Spirit 12/1, Limited impact in bumpers over the winter and has had a wind op ahead of this hurdles bow. Tongue tie also goes on. | |||
5th (1)  (4/1 -14%)Chocca Mocha |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chocca Mocha 4/1, Dam, bumper/17f hurdle winner, out of smart 2m-21f hurdle winner Chomba Womba. Mid-field in a bumper at Newcastle on debut in March and offered something to work on sent hurdling when fourth at Market Rasen. | |||
6th (6)  (18/1 -50%)Sweet Dime |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sweet Dime 18/1, Half-sister to useful hurdler Discovery Bay (2m winner, by Dansili). Fair on Flat, stays 12.5f but didn't jump too well on hurdles debut for Jedd O'Keeffe. In-and-out on the level for current yard. | |||
7th (4)  (150/1 -200%)Posh Spice |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Posh Spice 150/1, Showed some promise when seventh in Newcastle bumper but last completed start over hurdles in 2021. Since had a wind op. | |||
|PU| (2)  (12/1 +14%)Kingston Sunflower |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kingston Sunflower 12/1, Fair maiden at best on Flat in France. Has left L. Loisel and joined excellent NH yard so sure to be well prepared for this. | |||
|PU| (5)  (80/1 -264%)Power Of Power |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Power Of Power 80/1, Fared better than she did in Irish bumpers when sixth of 11 at Southwell for new yard last month. Readily brushed aside on hurdles debut, though. |

5.5/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kings Creek 5.5/1, Proving consistent for all he's not added to his juvenile hurdle success, second in 2m Hexham seller last time. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 -88%)High Grounds |
7.5/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) High Grounds 7.5/1, Scored in 23f Market Rasen handicap hurdle in first-time tongue tie in December and back to form when second over shorter there 12 days ago. Can make his presence felt back up in trip. | |||
3rd (2)  (4.5/1 -50%)Our Three Sons |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Our Three Sons 4.5/1, Proved he retains a fair level of ability as he scored for the first time in almost 4 years in 25f Plumpton handicap hurdle recently. Potentially well treated under a penalty if in the same form. | |||
4th (1)  (1.88/1 +46%)Kennack Bay |
1.88/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kennack Bay 1.88/1, All-or-nothing profile but ran well under a positive ride after 8 months off when second, beaten 4 lengths, at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago, headed before home turn having made most. Big shout if backing that up. | |||
5th (9)  (9/1 +18%)Cut And Run |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cut And Run 9/1, Bangor maiden hurdle winner over shorter in August 2019. Not in much form when last seen in January. | |||

33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shantou Boudicca 33/1, Little show over hurdles, including on handicap debut upped in trip at Hexham (23.3f) 18 days ago. | |||
7th (6)  (11/1 -120%)Taras Day |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Taras Day 11/1, Won C&D handicap at this meeting in 2019 and right back on track when second in messy race here under this rider 26 days ago. She should get a fairer shake of the dice this time and can go well. | |||
8th (8)  (12/1 +0%)Realms Of Fire |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Realms Of Fire 12/1, Poor jumper but won this last year from the same mark and could figure. | |||
9th (11)  (250/1 -100%)Moroval |
250/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Moroval 250/1, Long-standing maiden showing little when last seen in October. | |||

28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rare Clouds 28/1, Wasn't firing when last seen and, while he's down the weights, it's hard to make a strong case for him back from 5 months off in a competitive race. | |||
2nd (6)  (150/1 +0%)Zinat |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zinat 150/1, Won twice in Ireland in autumn 2020 but hasn't been close to that level since. Down the field at Fontwell on first outing for new stable 40 days ago. | |||
3rd (5)  (7.5/1 +25%)Do No Wrong |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Do No Wrong 7.5/1, Off the mark at fourth attempt over timber on handicap debut at Sedgefield in September. However, subsequent efforts were underwhelming so a leap of faith is required to support him. | |||
4th (12)  (16/1 -33%)Dan Gun |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Dan Gun 16/1, Little promise in 2021/22 after leaving Dan Skelton but, having dropped in the weights/visor added, ran best race for this yard when third at Newcastle (20.3f) last month. Needs to build on that run. | |||
5th (8)  (1.75/1 +36%)Masterdream |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Masterdream 1.75/1, Returned with a career-best effort to score comfortably at Worcester a weak ago and, off the same mark, he should go well again with the fixed-brush obstacles obviously to his liking. | |||
6th (4)  (1.75/1 +0%)Camembert Electric |
1.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Camembert Electric 1.75/1, Off the mark at Wetherby in February and resumed winning ways with a degree of comfort at Newton Abbot. Further progress on the cards, particularly at this trip, so excellent claims. | |||
7th (7)  (10/1 -33%)Beat The Heat |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Beat The Heat 10/1, Fair Flat winner. Only modest form at best over hurdles so far but does possess scope in this sphere from his current mark, and he was third at Fontwell last time. Considered. | |||
8th (1)  (7/1 +7%)Balleticon |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balleticon 7/1, Maiden hurdle who bounced back to form when runner-up at Fakenham 15 days ago. Has some handicapping scope if he can build on that up in trip. | |||
9th (9)  (50/1 +24%)Black Lightning |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Black Lightning 50/1, Scored at Fontwell in October but well below form since, including at the same course recently. Plenty to prove. | |||
|PU| (10)  (80/1 -142%)Red Ochre |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Red Ochre 80/1, Finally shed maiden tag when landing a handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.8f) in October. However, he has followed that with a string of poor efforts and is hard to warm to. |

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.
