1st (2)  (2/1 -33%)Give Me A Cuddle |
2/1(-33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Give Me A Cuddle 2/1, Promise in bumpers this spring, winning at Huntingdon 4 weeks ago. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree so this longer trip should suit now hurdling. Leading claims. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.5/1 +25%)Glengeever |
2.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glengeever 2.5/1, Fair form over hurdles, finishing runner-up in maiden/novice events at Fontwell and Ffos Las on her last 2 outings. Another prominent showing on the cards. Cheekpieces on first time. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 +20%)Armchair Farmer |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Armchair Farmer 6/1, Didn't achieve much when sixth in 2 bumpers last year (trained in Ireland on debut) but still early days with this good stable. Has had wind surgery (also tongue tied) ahead of this switch to hurdles. | |||
4th (5)  (2/1 +20%)Royal Lake |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Royal Lake 2/1, Easily best run over hurdles last term when runner-up in 21f Warwick maiden at the end of March. Unlikely to be too far away if showing up here in similar form. | |||
|PU| (4)  (300/1 -140%)Hoochygoochyman |
300/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hoochygoochyman 300/1, No show in bumpers/novice hurdles (tailed-off last of 3 latest). Big outsider again. |

1st (2)  (2.25/1 +10%)Howdilyoudo |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Howdilyoudo 2.25/1, Enjoyed a productive spell over hurdles last year, winning twice at up to 23f prior to filling runners-up spot final 2 starts. Good third on return at Ffos Las (21.8f) in April and that should have put her spot on ahead of this switch to chasing. | |||
2nd (5)  (6/1 +50%)Daenerys Stormborn |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Daenerys Stormborn 6/1, Long-standing maiden who has yet to better poor form in handful of starts over hurdles/fences for present yard, never involved over timber at Ludlow (21.2f) last month. Needs to sharpen up in the jumping department back over fences. | |||
|F| (4)  (3/1 +10%)Achy Breaky Heart |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Achy Breaky Heart 3/1, Hurdles/chase winner who failed to meet expectations on return over hurdles at Huntingdon (25f) 10 days ago. Still, not underestimated back over fences having scored comfortably from a 4 lb lower mark in this sphere back in the autumn. | |||
|F| (6)  (3/1 +10%)Princess Midnight |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Princess Midnight 3/1, Dual winner over fences over 2m last term who ran respectably back from 5 months off when third at Worcester (20f) in April. Operating from 2 lb out of weights here but no surprise to see her give a good account. | |||
|F| (3)  (9/1 -157%)Rose Ohara |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rose Ohara 9/1, Modest maiden hurdler who showed some improvement for switch to chasing when runner-up in 4-runner mares' handicap at Worcester (23f) last month. That didn't look the strongest of contests but not ruled out. | |||
|U| (1)  (22/1 -100%)Admiral's Sunset |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Admiral's Sunset 22/1, Finally off the mark over fences here (17f) in August and quickly followed up at Worcester (16.5f) a month later. Never figured from higher marks in 3 subsequent starts and this run may just be needed on return. |

1st (8)  (7.5/1 -36%)Appreciate |
7.5/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Appreciate 7.5/1, Little to shout about over hurdles and on the Flat this year, latest when down the field at Bath 3 weeks ago. Back over hurdles today and he may feature in this company. | |||
2nd (6)  (40/1 -60%)Overtougeorge |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Overtougeorge 40/1, Boasts little in the way of solid form, finishing midfield at Southwell back in March. Back over timber here but needs to step up to figure. | |||
3rd (2)  (12/1 +40%)Canal Rocks |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Canal Rocks 12/1, Fairly useful at best on Flat and has made a low-key start over hurdles, again well held at Newton Abbot last month. Tongue tie applied. | |||
4th (3)  (4/1 +20%)Full Aux Rois |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Full Aux Rois 4/1, Showed ability in maiden hurdles for Emmet Mullins in Ireland but has failed to land a meaningful blow in 5 starts since switched to handicaps for this yard (very headstrong). Fancied to make more impact dropped into selling company today. | |||
5th (5)  (3/1 +0%)Janus |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Janus 3/1, Fair middle-distance handicapper on the Flat who offered encouragement in 4 starts over hurdles in 2020. Returns after 17 months off the track and there's every chance he will have a say in proceedings provided he's ready to roll. | |||
6th (4)  (50/1 +24%)Gealach Ghorm |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gealach Ghorm 50/1, Long-standing maiden on Flat and having not been seen since 2018, he's tough to make a case for on hurdling debut. | |||
7th (12)  (2.75/1 -10%)Top Brass |
2.75/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Top Brass 2.75/1, Flat winner for John Gosden and bettered hurdling debut when fourth in a juvenile at Stratford in March, albeit running to only a modest level. Not in same form at Hereford 11 days later and first-time cheekpieces are applied. Shortlisted in this grade. | |||
|R| (11)  (22/1 -10%)Thesethingshappen |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Thesethingshappen 22/1, Down field in minor events on Flat for David O'Meara in 2021 but has joined a top yard ahead of this hurdling debut. Market check advised. | |||
|PU| (13)  (8/1 +20%)Donya |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Donya 8/1, Modest handicapper on Flat who wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time, left poorly placed the way the race was run. Market check advised on hurdling debut. | |||
|PU| (9)  (10/1 +29%)Royal Advice |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Royal Advice 10/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat who has lost his way, last at Wolverhampton 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but probably best watched on hurdles bow. | |||
|PU| (10)  (66/1 -313%)Shielded |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Shielded 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Simon & Ed Crisford. No show in juvenile/novice hurdles and offered little upped in trip back on the level at Wolverhampton recently. Blinkers now tried. | |||
|PU| (14)  (66/1 -65%)Sunline |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Sunline 66/1, Behind in various events on the Flat, including for this yard after 8 months off in February. Offered little on hurdles bow at Plumpton 4 weeks ago so very tough to recommend on that showing. | |||
|PU| (7)  (200/1 -300%)Sukat |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sukat 200/1, Yet to even hint at ability, tailed off in maiden hurdle at Southwell last month. | |||
|PU| (1)  (200/1 -203%)Absolute Altitude |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Absolute Altitude 200/1, Little to shout about on the Flat back in 2020 so easy to look elsewhere on his first start over timber after a lengthy absence. |

1st (1)  (1.62/1 -62%)Ragamuffin |
1.62/1(-62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ragamuffin 1.62/1, In fine form over hurdles last summer, winning back to events at Uttoxter/Newton Abbot. Matched his hurdles form at first attempt when second at Warwick on chase bow 2 weeks ago and entitled to build on that. Obvious claims back down in class. | |||
2nd (5)  (10/1 +50%)Begoodtoyourself |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Begoodtoyourself 10/1, Remains a maiden under Rules following 21 attempts and arrives here out of form. 4 lb out of the handicap. | |||
3rd (4)  (3/1 +0%)Gambie Tiep |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gambie Tiep 3/1, French bumper winner who didn't shape badly starting out for new connections when fourth in a Wincanton maiden hurdle and built on that at the second attept when runner-up in handicap there 8 weeks ago. Interesting chasing debutant. | |||
4th (2)  (6.5/1 +24%)Pawpaw |
6.5/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pawpaw 6.5/1, Just respectable efforts at best over hurdles last season and not an obvious chasing type. | |||
|F| (3)  (4/1 +38%)Above Suspicion |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Above Suspicion 4/1, Maiden who has been below form over hurdles last 2 starts and didn't convice over fences earlier on last season. |

1st (3)  (7.5/1 +17%)Shantou Sunset |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shantou Sunset 7.5/1, Landed pair of staying handicaps in the first half of the season but has completely lost way since and is hard to have confidence in under 10 lb claimer. | |||
2nd (5)  (6.5/1 +46%)Viking Ruby |
6.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Viking Ruby 6.5/1, Shaped as if better for run on return at Huntingdon last week and remains on a good mark if finding her best form again, but she was largely underwhelming for majority of last season and has bit to prove now. | |||
3rd (4)  (1.25/1 -14%)Lily Glitters |
1.25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lily Glitters 1.25/1, Went with zest when notching a second career success at Ludlow (23f) last month. 3 lb rise shouldn't stop her from going close in her follow-up bid. | |||
4th (2)  (2.25/1 +10%)Martha Brae |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Martha Brae 2.25/1, Well backed when making winning return on yard debut at Exeter (21f) in November but hasn't really gone on since, Nevertheless, mark has dropped slightly and she may bounce back now fresh again. | |||
5th (1)  (8/1 -45%)Catchmeifyoucan |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Catchmeifyoucan 8/1, Won at Uttoxeter and Cartmel amidst a consistent spell last summer but didn't fully carry that form over into the winter, pulled up on latest outing in December. Given a chance by the assessor. |

1st (3)  (3.5/1 +13%)Vernon Subutex |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Vernon Subutex 3.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France, boasting a record of 7 wins from 24 starts. Most recently scored over hurdles at Fontainebleau in March and yard has done well with similar types recently. Dangerous. | |||
2nd (5)  (3/1 +33%)Helford River |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Helford River 3/1, Landed back-to-back 3-runner events at Newton Abbot and Fontwell in the autumn but failed to beat rival home on return from 6-month absence last month (had wind-op in break). Can still improve further but this is a tougher assignment. | |||
3rd (4)  (11/1 +0%)Realm Keeper |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Realm Keeper 11/1, Dual winner in 2020/21 but was badly out of sorts last season and has lots to prove currently. | |||
4th (1)  (1.25/1 +0%)Lakota Warrior |
1.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lakota Warrior 1.25/1, Off mark over fences at first attempt at Doncaster in March but disappointed in follow-up bid at Perth last month (made bad error early). Retains potential to do better in this sphere and well worth another chance. | |||
|F| (2)  (7/1 -56%)Templehills |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Templehills 7/1, Experienced sort scored over C&D on his penultimate outing back in October (only other win since 2018 also came here). Typically sketchy jumper but can't be ruled out on return to this track after 6 months off. |

0.8/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Copshill Lad 0.8/1, €20,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Hazzaar, stays 19f. Runner-up sole outing in Irish point (Feb 12), and stables bumper runners continue to impress. | |||
2nd (6)  (2.75/1 -22%)The Kniphand |
2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Kniphand 2.75/1, Half-brother to French 9.5f winner and showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Bangor on debut, doing his best work at the finish. Might not need to improve on that to go one better. | |||
3rd (1)  (4.5/1 +10%)Mullinaree |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mullinaree 4.5/1, Promise both outings in bumpers, not ideally placed when third at Limerick 4 months ago. Notable contender on British debut. | |||
4th (7)  (20/1 -43%)Petit Bijou |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Petit Bijou 20/1, Delegator mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Ganbei and fair hurdler/fairly useful 2½m chase winner John Louis. One to note on pedigree. | |||

18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gentleman Jake 18/1, Proconsul gelding. Dam ran once over hurdles/modest maiden on Flat. Doesn't make much appeal on breeding, but stable has been in rude health lately. | |||
6th (3)  (50/1 +0%)Democritus |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Democritus 50/1, Universal gelding. Brother to fairly useful 19f hurdle winner Universal Dave. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (2½m/21f winner) Rathcor. | |||

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.
