John Constable

5/1(+17%)
(3) John Constable 5/1, Smart handicapper at best and confirmed he retains plenty of ability when runner-up at Uttoxeter in July. However, underlined why he's such a frustrating sort nowadays when well beaten since.

Pasley

10/1(+29%)

First Quest

4/1(+0%)
(5) First Quest 4/1, Was bang there when falling at the last at Kempton (16f) on debut for new yard last season and showed benefit of reappearance when fourth at Plumpton earlier this month. Merits consideration.

Temur Khan

33/1(-32%)
(9) Temur Khan 33/1, Fair 12f Flat winner but only poor form in a trio of starts over hurdles this autumn and is one to keep an eye on in the market on handicap debut.

2.25/1(+0%)
(2) Kauto The King 2.25/1, Much improved from hurdles form when easily taking 7-runner handicap at Wincanton (20.2f, good) on debut over fences and backed that up when third under a penalty at Hereford. Should go well again.

Hey Bud

6.5/1(+24%)
(5) Hey Bud 6.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who shaped promisingly when third in 21f handicap chase at Stratford on return. However, not in anything like the same form when well held at Wincanton since. Headgear applied.

Forgetthesmalltalk

8.5/1(-31%)

God Knows Why

28/1(-211%)
(7) God Knows Why 28/1, Runner-up in Irish maiden points. Efforts over hurdles at Taunton and Newton Abbot not completely devoid of promise, but this demands a significant step forward on chase/handicap bow.

12/1(-9%)
(6) Foreign Secretary 12/1, Hurdles winner for John Halley in Ireland and placed on 2 of his 4 starts for new connections, runner-up off this mark here (16.5f) last month. Still, more needed if he's to go one better this time.

4.5/1(+0%)
(14) Sheshoon Sonny 4.5/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has finished in the money on 4 of his 6 starts in this sphere, good third on return/handicap bow at Sandown (2m). Step back up in trip will help and merits respect.

12th (5) Tight Call (9/1 +0%)
Tight Call

9/1(+0%)
(5) Tight Call 9/1, Looked better than ever when adding to his tally at Ludlow (21.2f) a fortnight ago. 6 lb rise fair enough, but another personal best will be needed in order to follow up in this stronger race.

9/1(-80%)
(12) Dave And Bernie 9/1, Ended time with Michael Barry in Ireland in good form and produced a career-best when making a winning start for this yard at Ludlow (15.8f). 5 lb rise fair and another bold show anticipated.

Adman Sam

66/1(-164%)
(16) Adman Sam 66/1, Wide-margin winner of Warwick handicap chase on debut for this yard last November, but absent since misfiring at Ffos Las a month later and opposable back in this sphere.

9/1(+25%)
(7) Melekhov 9/1, Dual bumper winner who struck at the third attempt over hurdles at Exeter (17f) in April 2019. However, well held sole start last term and recent Sandown reappearance wasn't overly encouraging either.

6th (8) Drumhart (25/1 +0%)
Drumhart

25/1(+0%)
(8) Drumhart 25/1, Modest chaser when last seen under Rules. Has won a few times in points since but recent efforts in that sphere nothing to get excited about ahead of Rules return.

Ri An Rian

25/1(-14%)
(9) Ri An Rian 25/1, Opened account in Tipperary chase on final start for Liz Doyle in July 2018, but yet to get seriously competitive for current yard, albeit his latest outing was probably needed after 15 months off.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
