1st (5)  (1.1/1 +33%)Eagle's Realm |
1.1/1(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Eagle's Realm 1.1/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (10/3) at this C&D (good) 39 days ago, running on. Looks sure to go well again in a thin race. | |||
2nd (3)  (3.33/1 +61%)Balearic |
3.33/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Balearic 3.33/1, Fairly useful on Flat and placed first 2 starts over hurdles. Handicap debut at Bangor 20 days ago was disappointing but he remains with potential. | |||
3rd (8)  (28/1 +15%)Brooklyn Belle |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Brooklyn Belle 28/1, Limited sort who, although lightly raced for this stable, is yet to hint that he's capable of winning a handicap. Back from a couple of months off with a tongue strap refitted. | |||
4th (7)  (6.5/1 +19%)Stigwood |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Stigwood 6.5/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and has achieved a similar level over hurdles. Disappointing at Market Rasen last time and others make more appeal. | |||
5th (2)  (3.5/1 +68%)Henry Box Brown |
3.5/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Henry Box Brown 3.5/1, Winner of a Wexford bumper on debut/sole start in Ireland and step forward on handicap bow in this sphere when third at Fontwell in May. Let down by his jumping on both subsequent outings, though. |

1.25/1(-37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sea Prince 1.25/1, Dual winner over hurdles who has made a bright start over fences, regaining second dying strides at Bangor last time. Could be hard to beat back against the novices in a thin contest. | |||
2nd (5)  (7/1 +42%)Touchthesoul |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Touchthesoul 7/1, Modest hurdler who has shown a bit back over fences again at Worcester the last twice, although held by Whispering Gypsy on latest running. Drops back in trip. | |||
3rd (3)  (2/1 +11%)Whispering Gypsy |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Whispering Gypsy 2/1, Bumper/hurdle winner. Offered something to work on sent chasing after 10 weeks off at Worcester (20f) 4 weeks ago, though was again rather found wanting in the latter stages. Drops back in trip. | |||
4th (4)  (18/1 +18%)Tremwedge |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tremwedge 18/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Alan King but has lost his form, well beaten in 2 runs over fences for current trainer this summer. | |||
5th (2)  (6.5/1 +0%)Petit Palais |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Petit Palais 6.5/1, Novice hurdle winner here in his younger days and successful twice in France for current yard. Needs to leave behind some poor runs now going chasing but this is a modest heat. |

2nd (2)  (14/1 -100%)Tiger Orchid |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tiger Orchid 14/1, Dual bumper winner last summer and off the mark over hurdles in match event at Southwell (20.5f) in May. His indifferent jumping found him out in a deeper race at Worcester since. | |||
3rd (3)  (0.33/1 +51%)Manofthemountain |
0.33/1(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Manofthemountain 0.33/1, Useful chaser who returned from a break to finish a good second in Uttoxeter handicap in May. Shaped as if still in form when sixth in Summer Plate at Market Rasen since. Tongue tied first time back hurdling. Leading claims. |

1.88/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) La Domaniale 1.88/1, Promising sort who found further improvement when close second of 14 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) 33 days ago. 5 lb higher now but may have more to offer yet. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.2/1 +20%)Larch Hill |
3.2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Larch Hill 3.2/1, Bagged fourth win from last 7 starts when taking 5-runner handicap chase at this course (17f, good) 32 days ago, always holding on. 3 lb rise fair and ought to go well again. | |||
3rd (5)  (6/1 +50%)De Barley Basket |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) De Barley Basket 6/1, Won 4 of his last 5 starts prior to pulling up (said to have made a respiratory noise) at Worcester last month. Tongue strap reapplied now and clearly comes with some risks attached. Had wind operation. | |||
4th (7)  (14/1 +13%)Admiral's Sunset |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Admiral's Sunset 14/1, Course winner who bounced back to form when runner-up here (17f) in June. Below that level at Worcester since, however, and has never scored over this sort of trip before. | |||
5th (6)  (7.5/1 -7%)Rostello |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rostello 7.5/1, Back on scoreboard over this course (22.6f, good) last month but rather found out in deeper contest at Market Rasen since and is on a career-high mark now. | |||
|PU| (3)  (4.5/1 -13%)Destrier |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Destrier 4.5/1, Capitalised on a much-reduced mark in 20f handicap chase at Aintree in May and backed that up with good third at Uttoxeter (20f). Fell early on latest and could be a player here. | |||
|PU| (1)  (33/1 -65%)Arvico Bleu |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arvico Bleu 33/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season but yet to threaten this term and was disappointing over hurdles at Perth last time. |

1st (10)  (11/1 +63%)Colonel Lesley |
11/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Colonel Lesley 11/1, No impact both starts for this yard so it's easy-enough to looks elsewhere despite his basement mark. Blinkers off. | |||
2nd (4)  (3/1 +0%)Sergeant |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sergeant 3/1, Solid record for this yard in the first half of last season, winning 3 times and second on 3 other occasions. Sound return to action at Newton Abbot and his mark remains a workable one. | |||
3rd (9)  (4/1 +27%)Encashment |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Encashment 4/1, Wasted no time getting back on track when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month, collared close home by Durragh. Should give it another good go. | |||
4th (2)  (10/1 +17%)Order Of St John |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Order Of St John 10/1, Flat winner for yard who showed plenty from the front in maiden hurdles to end 2021. Limited impact in handicaps but fit from a recent spin on the level. | |||
5th (3)  (4.5/1 -29%)Durragh |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Durragh 4.5/1, Win number 3 since the spring when battling well to land 2m handicap at Uttoxeter last month (Encashment second). That attitude will stand her in good stead. | |||
6th (6)  (10/1 -82%)Rains Of Castamere |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rains Of Castamere 10/1, Four-time winner on the level, but not at the top of his game in that sphere and hurdles efforts hardly set the pulse racing. This is his handicap debut, though. | |||
7th (8)  (16/1 -33%)Madeeh |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Madeeh 16/1, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat and found only one too good over hurdles in May. Needs to cast aside a heavy defeat on the level last month. | |||
8th (5)  (9/1 -6%)Near Kettering |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Near Kettering 9/1, Bagged handicap hurdles at Market Rasen and Carlisle in 2021 but out of sorts since. Can only be considered if the market speaks in his favour. | |||
9th (11)  (50/1 +0%)Tiffany Rose |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tiffany Rose 50/1, Modest bumper winner but little to get excited about over hurdles so far. | |||
10th (7)  (25/1 -25%)Sideshift |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sideshift 25/1, Flat winner who showed fair form in juvenile hurdles in Ireland last year. Continues to disappoint for present stable, though. | |||
11th (1)  (16/1 +20%)Hey Bob |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hey Bob 16/1, Looked more straightforward than has been the case in recent times, winning 4 times in all, including for new yard in June. Looked anchored by revised mark at Bangor 3 weeks ago. |

22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Call Of The Loon 22/1, Just 1 win from 26 NH runs in Ireland and not seen since March. Market may provide best guide to claims on return/yard debut. | |||
2nd (5)  (14/1 -40%)Regaby |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Regaby 14/1, Did well over fences last season, winning 3 times between August and November. Lightly raced and mostly disappointing since, however, and something to prove now. | |||
3rd (4)  (4/1 +11%)Judge Earle |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Judge Earle 4/1, Scored for second time in last 3 starts when taking 4-runner handicap chase (5/6) at Uttoxeter (24f, good) 36 days ago. Just 3 lb higher now and not taken lightly. | |||
4th (9)  (7/1 +68%)Master Sunrise |
7/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Master Sunrise 7/1, Temperamental sort who was returning from 10 months off when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can build on that, though. | |||
5th (10)  (6/1 +40%)Tom O'roughley |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tom O'roughley 6/1, Made the frame several times this term but may not be capable of defying even his basement mark in a race that looks fairly competitive for the grade here. | |||
|F| (7)  (3.2/1 +57%)On Time |
3.2/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) On Time 3.2/1, Off the mark when easily winning mares' handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f) last month and posted creditable third at this course (22.6f) since. Return to longer trip no issue and should be in the mix. | |||
|U| (1)  (7.5/1 +17%)Port O'clock |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Port O'clock 7.5/1, Made a winning start over fences at Exeter in April and posted solid runner-up efforts next 2 starts. However, run of good form came to halt at Uttoxeter latest and needs to bounce back. | |||
|PU| (8)  (6.5/1 -8%)Mr Woody |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mr Woody 6.5/1, Joined excellent yard and made second start a winning one over fences at Ffos Las (23.8f) in June. Somewhat disappointing back over hurdles at Worcester since but merits consideration back over larger obstacles here. | |||
|PU| (3)  (12/1 -9%)On The Bandwagon |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) On The Bandwagon 12/1, No easy ride and makes limited appeal after running poorly the last twice. |

3.33/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Leave Her To Me 3.33/1, Only ninth of 12 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm, 9/2) on NH debut 59 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind if she's to land this. | |||
2nd (1)  (33/1 -106%)Amidnightstar |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Amidnightstar 33/1, Midnight Legend mare. Dam 1¼m/10.3f winner. Second in match sole start in points (Apr 18). Others make more appeal. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.5/1 +13%)Miss Paige |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Miss Paige 3.5/1, Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Lofgren and modest chaser Gatacre Street. Likely to be clued up, so one to consider. | |||
4th (7)  (11/1 -38%)Teeceethree |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Teeceethree 11/1, Native Ruler filly. Dam (c107/h105) temperamental 19f-25f chase winner. Highly respected on debut. Wears tongue strap. Notable newcomer. | |||
5th (3)  (1.25/1 +0%)Spy Lady |
1.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Spy Lady 1.25/1, Shirocco mare. Dam unraced half-sister to modest hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Pete The Feat. Wears hood. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 22). Strong claims. | |||
6th (4)  (22/1 -120%)Astro Babe |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Astro Babe 22/1, Telescope filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Weather Babe, stayed 27f, and modest hurdler Bathwick Junior, stayed 2½m. One to note. | |||
7th (6)  (14/1 +22%)Maskara |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Maskara 14/1, Kayf Tara filly. Dam (h123), bumper/ungenuine 19f-2¾m hurdle winner, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3m) Annsam. Interesting on paper. |

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.
