1st (1)  (1.5/1 +20%)Toronto |
1.5/1(+20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Toronto 1.5/1, Fairly useful at best on Flat and ran to a similar level to make second hurdle start a winning one at Wincanton. Disappointing at Newton Abbot next time, though, and will need to settle better in order to defy his penalty here. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.67/1 -26%)Tardree |
0.67/1(-26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tardree 0.67/1, Point/bumper winner who stepped up on his hurdles debut effort when third of 12 in a Market Rasen maiden last spring. Successful twice over fences since and obvious chance back in this sphere atfer 7 months off with conditions to suit. | |||
3rd (4)  (18/1 +45%)Stigwood |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stigwood 18/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for Eve Johnson Houghton and didn't show much in two juvenile hurdles during the autumn. | |||
4th (3)  (18/1 +78%)Mr Anderson |
18/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mr Anderson 18/1, Flat-bred gelding who failed to make an impact in a couple of bumpers for Christian Williams in December. Sizeable step forward needed now switched to hurdles for new yard. | |||
|R| (5)  (200/1 -100%)Phyllis |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Phyllis 200/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and beaten a country mile on recent hurdles debut at Southwell. |

1st (2)  (2.75/1 +8%)Light N Strike |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Light N Strike 2.75/1, Wide-margin winner at Plumpton back from a break last month and surely would've finished closer but for hitting the third-last at Kempton (2¼m, good) recently. Big player off the same mark. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.8/1 +10%)Give Me A Moment |
1.8/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Give Me A Moment 1.8/1, Enhanced good strike rate over fences when getting the better of dual subsequent winner Clear The Runway at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to firm) last month. 6 lb rise fair and another bold show on the cards. | |||
3rd (3)  (12/1 -41%)Vision Des Flos |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Vision Des Flos 12/1, Returned to form when bagging handicap chases from the front at Uttoxeter and Warwick in September. However, pulled up on his last two starts and opposable back from a six-month break. | |||
4th (5)  (22/1 -120%)Due Reward |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Due Reward 22/1, Useful hurdler/chaser on his day in Ireland, but profile is rather hit and miss and he was pulled up back from a break on first appearance following a wind op at Aintree last month. | |||
5th (6)  (8/1 +11%)Fat Sam |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fat Sam 8/1, Won three times over fences between July and October last year, including over this C&D. Shaped as though in need of the run back from a break when last in a 4-runner Fontwell handicap and better can be expected here. | |||
|F| (7)  (8/1 +11%)Lost In Montmartre |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lost In Montmartre 8/1, Well suited by quick ground when opening chase account at Hereford in October. Possibly needed the run back from a six-month absence at Ludlow recently, but looks vulnerable here from 3 lb out of the handicap. | |||
|PU| (4)  (5/1 +9%)Fanzio |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fanzio 5/1, Not the most consistent of performers, but he stopped the slide when third in a Class 2 Perth handicap (20.1f, soft) last month. Down another 2 lb and he's 2-3 at this course, so there's cause for optimism. |

1st (1)  (1.62/1 +35%)Shantou Express |
1.62/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shantou Express 1.62/1, Returned to form to capitalise on a falling mark at Market Rasen in March. By no means disgraced when fifth in a competitive 16-runner Haydock handicap (24.3f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and definite chance off 1 lb lower here. | |||
2nd (3)  (14/1 +0%)Ennistown |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ennistown 14/1, Won a Fakenham hunter chase in March 2021 and this veteran proved that some ability remains when fourth of six back hurdling at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good). Now 3 lb lower and should make his presence felt. | |||
3rd (4)  (0.83/1 -24%)Arthur's Seat |
0.83/1(-24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Arthur's Seat 0.83/1, Useful dual bumper winner for Keith Dalgleish in 2020/21. Placed on four of his six starts since switched to hurdles, just touched off upped to 26.6f at Perth (soft) last month, and may well go one better here with cheekpieces/tongue strap enlisted. | |||
4th (2)  (10/1 -18%)Ratfacemcdougall |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ratfacemcdougall 10/1, Healthy strike rate in this sphere (7-22), but he has plenty to prove following a string of poor efforts. |

1st (2)  (9/1 +10%)Larch Hill |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Larch Hill 9/1, Won over C&D last autumn before following up at Huntingdon. Shaped as if needing run on return earlier this month and may do better here. | |||
2nd (6)  (1.38/1 +66%)Atlantic Storm |
1.38/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Atlantic Storm 1.38/1, Down in weights and produced his best showing for a while when runner-up on return at Warwick last month, though again didn't fully convince with finishing effort. 3-time C&D winner merits consideration. | |||
3rd (5)  (4.5/1 -64%)Somekindofstar |
4.5/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Somekindofstar 4.5/1, Scored at Fakenham in January and returned to form with a good second at Huntingdon 16 days ago. Not certain to be in same form this time but a repeat effort would see him go close. | |||
4th (4)  (2.5/1 +0%)Dogon |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dogon 2.5/1, Temperamental sort for Paul Nicholls but made a winning start for new yard at Fontwell 9 days ago. 6 lb higher mark requires more but yard do well with similar types. | |||
5th (1)  (20/1 -208%)Tikkinthebox |
20/1(-208%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tikkinthebox 20/1, C&D winner was largely consistent last summer but ended his season with 2 alarmingly poor runs. Probably best watched on return. | |||
6th (3)  (8/1 +0%)Jamacho |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jamacho 8/1, Productive last summer, winning twice over hurdles before making at second time lucky over fences at Huntingdon in October. Fell on return last month but remains on fair mark. |

1st (5)  (2.5/1 +44%)Thirsty Farmer |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thirsty Farmer 2.5/1, Still very lightly raced for one his age and made the frame on 2 of his last 3 completed outings (hampered and unseated last time). Holds place claims if returning in same form. | |||
2nd (8)  (7/1 +30%)Vinnie's Icon |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vinnie's Icon 7/1, Poor maiden never better than mid-field again at Exeter last time. Unlikely to figure. | |||
3rd (2)  (3/1 -33%)Lil Codey |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lil Codey 3/1, Slightly underwhelming at Worcester last time but she has largely held form since joining this yard and can give another good account in change of headgear. | |||
4th (1)  (4.5/1 -50%)Crimson King |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Crimson King 4.5/1, Fair but temperamental sort on the Flat (won twice on AW this winter). Didn't match that level in a handful of hurdles starts in 2020 but likely remains capable of better in this sphere. | |||
|F| (3)  (12/1 +40%)Sure Listen |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sure Listen 12/1, Promise in point but little impact under Rules. Needs more on handicap debut. | |||
|PU| (7)  (6/1 +25%)Telefina |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Telefina 6/1, Poor Flat maiden has looked no better over hurdles and needs to find more, even in this low grade. | |||
|PU| (4)  (20/1 -67%)Lady Of Authority |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lady Of Authority 20/1, Largely exposed as a poor hurdler and though her most recent start in September was a career-best in this sphere, she remains largely opposable for win purposes. |

1st (2)  (14/1 -27%)Forgot To Ask |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Forgot To Ask 14/1, Won at Market Rasen last spring and was placed twice in the autumn. Has a good record fresh and isn't discounted despite a stiff-looking mark. | |||
2nd (3)  (2/1 +0%)Dhowin |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dhowin 2/1, Got off the mark over fences in comfortable fashion at Fontwell earlier this month. Up 6 lb but very much appeals as the type to have a productive summer and set to go well again. | |||
3rd (5)  (4/1 +11%)Danny Whizzbang |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Danny Whizzbang 4/1, Down in the weights when getting off the mark for this yard at Huntingdon in April. Not seen to best effect over hurdles since but remains with clear handicapping scope back up in trip. | |||
|PU| (1)  (4.5/1 +18%)Ask A Honey Bee |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ask A Honey Bee 4.5/1, Useful but his jumping and attitude are become increasing concerns. Surely capable of posing a threat down in grade from current mark, but whether he allows himself to do so is a different question. | |||
|PU| (4)  (5/1 -11%)El Paso Wood |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) El Paso Wood 5/1, Stiff tasks on last 3 outings, performing with most credit when fourth in the Midlands National. Had a busy couple of months but should prove capable in this company. | |||
|PU| (6)  (8.5/1 +29%)Beatthebullet |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Beatthebullet 8.5/1, Made a winning start over fences at Exeter in November but largely poor since and again showed little at Cheltenham last time. Something to find on form. | |||
|PU| (7)  (16/1 -45%)Templehills |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Templehills 16/1, Veteran who scored over C&D in October (only other win since 2018 also came here). Typically sketchy jumping an issue again when coming down here on return but can't be discounted turned out quickly given course record. |

3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Noahthirtytwored 3.33/1, Made a successful handicap debut at Southwell in April and ran at least as well when third from 1 lb lower mark at Newton Abbot 10 days ago. Should go well again. | |||
2nd (8)  (7/1 +30%)Tarseem |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tarseem 7/1, Ran a decent race when fourth at Uttoxter in March (final outing for Dan Skelton) but has been below best both starts for this yard and needs to bounce back. | |||
3rd (6)  (10/1 +0%)Grandee |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Grandee 10/1, One-time useful Flat performer who remains low mileage over hurdles, shaping as if better for run when mid-field at Newton Abbot sole start in 2021/22. Hard to know what to expect after 10-month absence. | |||
4th (2)  (2.25/1 -20%)Greystoke |
2.25/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Greystoke 2.25/1, Fairly useful on the Flat at up to 1¼m and has improved run to run over hurdles, getting off the mark at Newton Abbot earlier this month. By no means the finished article yet but should prove tough to beat on these terms. | |||
5th (7)  (16/1 +36%)Jack The Farmer |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jack The Farmer 16/1, Only poor form in novice hurdles and hasn't improved as anticipated for the switch to handicaps. Must improve in first-time cheekpieces. | |||
6th (9)  (22/1 -10%)Invincible Wish |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Invincible Wish 22/1, Demoted to second having been first past the post at Newton Abbot last summer but struggled subsequently, including over fences. Makes return over hurdles with questions to answer. | |||
7th (5)  (3.33/1 +0%)Gerard Mentor |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gerard Mentor 3.33/1, Placed on 4 consecutive starts before getting off the mark at Market Rasen 15 days ago, despite saddle slipping on run-in. 6 lb higher here but likely to continue in good form. | |||
8th (1)  (16/1 -78%)Scudamore |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scudamore 16/1, Fair winner on Flat but hasn't gone on from promising hurdles debut, well beaten in Wetherby novice 51 days ago. Probably needs to show more to make a winning start in handicaps. |

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.
