1	5 1st (5) (6/4 +55%) Reddys Island		1.5 6/4(+55%)																															(5) Reddys Island 6/4, Creditable third of 14 in handicap chase (10/3) at Down Royal (24f, soft) 19 days ago. Stable in red-hot form and Jack Kennedy on board for the first time. Probably capable of winning a minor handicap at some stage, yard continuing in great form.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 +38%) Toofareastiswest		10 10/1(+38%)																															(4) Toofareastiswest 10/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time, took a step back in right direction when fifth of 14 in handicap chase (22/1) at this course (18.4f, soft) 7 days ago. Must build on that now. Beaten around 12l in fifth over a shorter trip here last week, may do better.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -71%) Dundaniel		3 3/1(-71%)																															(1) Dundaniel 3/1, Made a successful start under Rules in straightforward fashion in hunter at Cork in April. 3/1, ran well when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at same course (21f, soft) 4 days ago. In the mix provided this doesn't come too soon. Fifth in a handicap of a higher standard than this at Cork on Sunday, strong contender.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -56%) Ardera Ru		7 7/1(-56%)																															(2) Ardera Ru 7/1, Course winner last month. 6/1, not in same form from 9 lb higher when sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, soft) 18 days ago. Course winner over shorter trip last month, soundly beaten at Naas off her revised mark.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -191%) Dorans River		16 16/1(-191%)																															(7) Dorans River 16/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this season. 6/1, perhaps found race coming too soon after just 5 days off when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft) 71 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Can cash in on his lower chase mark after a break. Has enjoyed a new lease of life over hurdles this year, 18lb lower than hurdles mark.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 +40%) Glenmalure Lodge		12 12/1(+40%)																															(9) Glenmalure Lodge 12/1, Belatedly shed maiden tag over fences at Ballinrobe (23f) in September. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, soft, 16/1) 18 days ago. Almost all her best performances have been at Ballinrobe, no threat at Naas on latest.
7th	6 7th (6) (17/2 +39%) Black Samurai		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(6) Black Samurai 17/2, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, turned in best effort of the season when third of 11 in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft) 2 weeks ago, bad mistake 2 out. Three wins in 2021, signs of a return to form when third at Punchestown two weeks ago.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -100%) Slige Dala		18 18/1(-100%)																															(3) Slige Dala 18/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Found run of good form coming to a halt when pulled up in handicap chase (17/2) at Clonmel (20.7f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Must bounce back. Pulled up at Clonmel five weeks ago, fair chance of making the frame if restored to form.
8	8 |PU| (8) (18/1 +55%) Getaway Train		18 18/1(+55%)																															(8) Getaway Train 18/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good) 6 months ago, weakening before last. Makes chase/handicap debut. Won a maiden point, hard to make a case for him on last season's hurdles form, chase debut.

LTO Selection:

DUNDANIEL ran well from 3lb out of the handicap in a better race last Sunday and might now defy top weight. He was beaten just 3.5 lengths in Sunday's race and while his quick reappearance isn't ideal, is helped by stepping up a furlong and runs from a favourable rating. Reddys Island, a four-year-old point-to-point winner in 2021, returned to form recently and ran well in two recent northern chases. She is 3lb higher than when third at Down Royal but also drops in class today. Ardera Ru was beaten from a career high mark at Naas but being an October course winner, might fare better here. Toofareastiswest wasn't beaten far here last week and steps back up in trip while Black Samurai returned to form at Punchestown. Dorans River was well beaten at Listowel in September and while rated 18lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles, is a 13-year-old. Getaway Train failed to land a gamble in February but might do better over fences.

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to DORANS RIVER, who was clearly in great heart despite his advancing years during the summer and operating from a much lower chase mark returning from a break, he can notch a fourth success of the year. Gordon Elliott couldn't be in much better form and his Reddys Island can chase home the selection, ahead of Dundaniel and Ardera Ru.

Providing Sunday's Cork outing has not left a mark DUNDANIEL has sound prospects of conceding weight to his rivals in this lesser race

First run for yard after leaving Mlle D. Mele. Should have more to offer. Placed in Compiegne conditions hurdle in April; respected reappearing for champion trainer.

Eighth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, heavy, 11/1) 30 days ago, never nearer. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Good on last hurdle run. Flat form not encouraging but last season's hurdle form puts him in the mix.

Open to progress. Ground possibly too testing at Gowran; better ground here to suit and remains of interest.
5th	14 5th (14) (25/1 -56%) Bobbi Gin Tree		25 25/1(-56%)																															(14) Bobbi Gin Tree 25/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

Kiely when second of 15 in novice hurdle (6/4) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Open to improvement. Recent Gowran second; given a cleaner round of jumping should go close.

Third of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 8/1) on NH debut 19 days ago. Stable in good form. Shortlisted. Closely matched with Joyeux Vivo on Gowran debut run; sure to be thereabouts.

Fair winner at 16f on flat. 50/1, sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, soft) 90 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. AW winner opposable on hurdling evidence so far.
9th	12 9th (12) (150/1 -50%) Safran Et Bleu		150 150/1(-50%)																															(12) Safran Et Bleu 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy) 21 days ago. Two recent hurdling efforts moderate and needs to jump better.
11	11 |U| (11) (100/1 -52%) Ragmans Corner		100 100/1(-52%)																															(11) Ragmans Corner 100/1, Kalanisi gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Longview Lady. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stays 21f) Bob Olinger. Nicely-bred newcomer for whom market likely best guide.
15	15 |U| (15) (200/1 -100%) Inatosha		200 200/1(-100%)																															(15) Inatosha 200/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. 40/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on debut. Off 16 months. Well held on sole Flat run at Dundalk last year; yard have a stronger contender in Whimsy.

Too keen and paid the price on last month's Limerick debut; best watched for now.

LTO Selection:

LOMBRON debuts for Willie Mullins having finished third on his only previous run, in an April hurdle. That Compiegne race is difficult to assess but the fourth-placed horse won an Auteuil chase subsequently and it is very encouraging he reappears in November with Paul Townend booked. Joyeux Vivo and Nathan Wells were separated by a neck when finishing second and third respectively to an impressive winner at Gowran recently. Joyeux Vivo was reappearing and Nathan Wells was debuting, so improvement can be expected from both but are nonetheless vulnerable to smart types. Whimsy ran well on Galway hurdles debut but faces a tougher task while Dollar Nolimit (beaten by Joyeux Vivo at Punchestown in April) can improve from a recent hurdles debut. Bobbi Gin Tree should improve from debut while stablemate and third-reserve The Great Unknown is from the family of Rhinestone Cowboy and ran well on point-to-point debut.

LOMBRON looks an interesting recruit from France and can make a winning start for his top stable. There are plenty of potential improvers in opposition, headed by Joyeux Vivo and Nathan Wells.

An interesting rematch between Joyeux Vivo and NATHAN WELLS, the latter taken to overturn Gowran form

1	3 1st (3) (3/10 +59%) Fun Fun Fun		0.3 3/10(+59%)																															(3) Fun Fun Fun 3/10, Ready winner of first two starts in bumpers, including Grade 2 at Leopardstown. Pulled hard when only fourth at Punchestown on final outing but still looks an excellent prospect for novice hurdles. Won Grade 2 mares' bumper at Leopardstown last season, holds leading chance on that basis.
2	12 2nd (12) (16/1 +52%) Sansrisk		16 16/1(+52%)																															(12) Sansrisk 16/1, Went backwards from an encouraging debut when sixth of 12 in bumper at Tipperary (16.2f, soft, 9/1) 60 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Out of a half-sister to Chacun Pour Soi, Cork debut better than last month's Tipperary run.
3	10 3rd (10) (28/1 +30%) Jekiki		28 28/1(+30%)																															(10) Jekiki 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 40/1, tenth of 19 in maiden hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Well-related filly from a top stable, no progress since debut third in a bumper in May.
4	2 4th (2) (100/1 +0%) Cast A Spell		100 100/1(+0%)																															(2) Cast A Spell 100/1, Fair bumper winner but folded tamely on Fontwell hurdle debut in August. Bumper winner in Britain, out of her depth on Irish debut in a Listed bumper at Navan.
5th	15 5th (15) (80/1 +47%) True Or False		80 80/1(+47%)																															(15) True Or False 80/1, Modest chaser who has been well held on all her completed starts over hurdles. Placed twice in hunter chases, soundly beaten in two maiden hurdle starts in the autumn.
6th	6 6th (6) (3/1 +10%) Rockstown Girl		3 3/1(+10%)																															(6) Rockstown Girl 3/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who ought to have made a winning start over hurdles when second of 16 in maiden (7/4) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 59 days ago, novicey mistakes but finishing with running left. Sure to progress. Smart form in bumpers bit has a bit to find with Fun Fun Fun and Gaillimh A Run.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +52%) Straight Home		12 12/1(+52%)																															(7) Straight Home 12/1, Bumper winner who has made little impact in maiden hurdles but remains capable of better. Winner of a point and of a Cork point-to-point bumper, hurdles form is unconvincing.
8th	11 8th (11) (150/1 -50%) Mabel In May		150 150/1(-50%)																															(11) Mabel In May 150/1, Well held in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft, 125/1) on debut 54 days ago. Never involved first time out at Fairyhouse, down in trip, will need to pick up experience.
9th	13 9th (13) (150/1 +0%) Sineads Fancy		150 150/1(+0%)																															(13) Sineads Fancy 150/1, Well held in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Towards the rear in two bumper runs last year, has struggled in two maiden hurdles.
5	5 |F| (5) (12/1 +14%) Molly's Gamble		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Molly's Gamble 12/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but has run to only a modest level both starts over hurdles, including in first-time blinkers at this course last time. 76-rated dual Flat winner, needs to raise her game to win a maiden of this standard.
9	9 |PU| (9) (150/1 -127%) Getaway Rua		150 150/1(-127%)																															(9) Getaway Rua 150/1, Modest at best in bumpers and made a discouraging hurdle debut when pulled up in maiden at Tramore (21f, heavy) 104 days ago, behind when slow 4 out. Back down in trip. Hints of ability in two 2021 bumper runs, missed all of last year, struggling since return.
8	8 |PU| (8) (150/1 -50%) Deise Bella		150 150/1(-50%)																															(8) Deise Bella 150/1, 66/1, unseated rider in bumper at this course (16.3f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut. Hooded for 1st time. Looked an awkward ride even before unseating her rider in a bumper in February, hooded now.
14	14 |PU| (14) (150/1 +0%) The Belmont Girls		150 150/1(+0%)																															(14) The Belmont Girls 150/1, No impact in 2 maiden hurdles. Pulled up on debut at Wexford, completely tailed off at Navan, can be safely discounted.

FUN FUN FUN should prove hard to beat here if taking to hurdling on her jumping bow. The Martaline mare was among the leading fancies for the Cheltenham bumper following an impressive demolition job in the Grade 2 mares contest at Leopardstown last February. She made little impression at Cheltenham, and was turned over at a short price at Punchestown subsequently, but remains an exciting prospect given the level of ability she has shown. Gaillimh A Run was also a dual bumper winner and wasn't disgraced when sixth in the Grade 2 contest at Aintree. She could be the one to give the selection most to do. Rockstown Girl already has hurdling experience, having been a fine second to Leah Tricks at Fairyhouse early last month. She also has to be on the shortlist.

FUN FUN FUN and Gaillimh A Run both showed plenty in bumpers and rate good hurdle prospects, but preference is for the former, who quickened clear of her rivals in taking fashion in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in February. Rockstown Girl was let down by some novicey mistakes on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse and she shouldn't be taken lightly with that initial experience behind her.

Patrick Mullins maintains a link with FUN FUN FUN that has yielded two wins and a Grade 3 fourth. If she settles well, she should score

Left N. Clement for €210,000 in July of that year and he's a most interesting hurdling debutant for top yard. Bought for 210,000euros at Arqana July Sale after touched off in Saint-Cloud Flat maiden.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +14%) Cleatus Poolaw		3 3/1(+14%)																															(3) Cleatus Poolaw 3/1, Comfortably off mark in points at second attempt. 4/5, promising second of 11 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 19 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Trainer going well. Player. Down Royal bumper second shapes like a staying type and may need in excess of 2m.
3	7 3rd (7) (2/1 -6%) Irish Panther		2 2/1(-6%)																															(7) Irish Panther 2/1, Promising second of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. This useful bumper performer is firmly in the picture. Bit novicey at Clonmel when clear second; major player if brushing up his jumping.

Second of 21 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut. Off 23 months so market can guide.

Brother to fairly useful hurdle/useful chase winner around 2m Baddesley Knight and useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Aarons Day, Betting can prove a good indicator. Unlikely sort to make an immediate impact but worth a look for future reference.
7th	16 7th (16) (66/1 -32%) Grace Faraday		66 66/1(-32%)																															(16) Grace Faraday 66/1, Poor hurdler. Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 200/1) 12 days ago. Bits and pieces of form in bumpers but lots to find on recent Navan maiden hurdle run.
8th	2 8th (2) (200/1 -100%) Arion Soldier		200 200/1(-100%)																															(2) Arion Soldier 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 200/1) on NH debut 39 days ago. Never sighted on last month's hurdles debut at Limerick; easily passed over.

Lots to find on previous two maiden runs, likely of more interest in handicaps.

DADDY LONG LEGS was just denied when staying on strongly on his sole outing on the Flat in his native France and could be another nice pick up for Willie Mullins. The Almanzor gelding showed a nice attitude first time up when going down by a short-head at Saint-Cloud in May 2022 and cost 210,000 euros at the sales subsequently. Cleatus Poolaw was turned over at a short price on his 'track' debut but looked a touch green then and the point-to-point winner could improve for going over an obstacle now. Irish Panther has been knocking on the door and had some strong bumper form. He was no match for Farren Glory on his hurdling debut at Clonmel three weeks ago and needs to step forward from that.

The market should prove a valuable guide but Willie Mullins' newcomer DADDY LONG LEGS, who showed plenty of promise on his sole Flat run in France, is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere. Irish Panther rates a big threat but might have to settle for second once more, with Gordon Elliott's hurdling debutant Cleatus Poolaw also well in the mix in an intriguing maiden.

Willie Mullins introduces DADDY LONG LEGS, touched off in a Saint-Cloud Flat maiden and who is Grade 1-entered at Christmas

1	15 1st (15) (13/2 +19%) Woodstream Lad		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(15) Woodstream Lad 13/2, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 109 days ago. First run for yard after leaving R. K. Watson. Back from a break for new, in-form yard so don't rule out.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/4 +18%) Herculaneum		2.25 9/4(+18%)																															(1) Herculaneum 9/4, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft, 13/2) 7 days ago, driven out. Carries penalty. Merits consideration. Last week's C&D winner in fine form; mandatory 7lb penalty and has his chance again.
3	13 3rd (13) (11/2 -38%) Be My Hero		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(13) Be My Hero 11/2, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. 7/2, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 75 days ago. Balance of his form for this yard gives him claims. Has been waiting for better ground and leading contender on Bellewstown near miss.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 +20%) Junot		40 40/1(+20%)																															(7) Junot 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 94 days ago, pulled up early final circuit. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Back in trip here with cheekpieces tried and may improve.
5th	17 5th (17) (16/1 +52%) Miala Araya		16 16/1(+52%)																															(17) Miala Araya 16/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 110 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Mark Cahill. Needs a couple of these to falter. First start for new yard after three months' break and best watched over inadequate trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (10/1 -43%) Romella		10 10/1(-43%)																															(10) Romella 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (15.9f, soft, 7/1) 42 days ago. No forlorn hope. Regressive but place claims on latest C&D effort.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 -85%) Port Rashid		12 12/1(-85%)																															(3) Port Rashid 12/1, Veteran C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Tramore (16f, heavy) 49 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and not out of things on pick of his form. Veteran a C&D winner in February; needs to bounce back from a poor Tramore run.
8th	12 8th (12) (66/1 -164%) Restless Son		66 66/1(-164%)																															(12) Restless Son 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in novice hurdle (300/1) at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy) in October. Makes handicap hurdle debut following 5 weeks off but only market support would make him of interest. Soundly beaten in three maidens on softer ground; market best guide on handicap debut.
9th	5 9th (5) (40/1 -100%) County Graduate		40 40/1(-100%)																															(5) County Graduate 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, bit below form tenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) in June. Goes handicapping now following 6 months off and more needed. Nothing in maidens and hard to be confident in on handicap debut.
16	16 |F| (16) (17/2 +58%) Katzoff		8.5 17/2(+58%)																															(16) Katzoff 17/2, 40/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 6 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 7/10 on last chase outing. 0-12 hurdling and remains opposable off this basement mark.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 -125%) Cafe Del Mar		18 18/1(-125%)																															(11) Cafe Del Mar 18/1, Course winner. 13/2, respectable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24f, good to soft) in April. This marked drop in trip may well be on the short side back from 7 months off. Won over 2m7f here last year; marked drop in trip on seasonal return won't suit.
11th	8 11th (8) (18/1 +45%) Mighty Oak Lad		18 18/1(+45%)																															(8) Mighty Oak Lad 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 12 days ago, racing off the pace and never landing a blow. Needs to show more before becoming of interest. Never sighted after summer off on recent handicap debut at Navan; may improve for that.
12th	9 12th (9) (50/1 -150%) On The Banks		50 50/1(-150%)																															(9) On The Banks 50/1, Placed on 2 of 3 starts in points. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 150/1, eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (16.1f, soft) 28 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Nothing in maiden hurdles; respected source but may need more time.
13th	2 13th (2) (25/1 +24%) Hazran		25 25/1(+24%)																															(2) Hazran 25/1, Latest win in chase at Worcester in June 2022. Lightly raced and well held since, failing to come on for his reappearance spin on the Flat when pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Cork (20f, soft) 25 days ago, pulled up 2 out. Two runs since returning from long absence last month have been poor so lots more needed.
14th	14 14th (14) (9/1 +10%) Macs Lady		9 9/1(+10%)																															(14) Macs Lady 9/1, 4/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good) 144 days ago, folding between last 2. Something to prove back from a break. Limerick second in May but questions to answer on back of two subsequent efforts.
15th	6 15th (6) (28/1 -12%) Askwell		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Askwell 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 40 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus now at least but pedigree suggests she will be suited by longer trips in due course. Shown nothing in maidens, too keen at Limerick last time; hard to fancy on handicap debut.
16th	4 16th (4) (20/1 -43%) Out Of The Park		20 20/1(-43%)																															(4) Out Of The Park 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (2m, heavy) 9 days ago, doing best of those held up having met trouble. Possible she will yet have more to offer on that evidence. Never counted on recent handicap debut at Limerick; others look better handicapped.

HERCULANEUM was given a fine ride by Oran McGill to score here a week ago and may be able to follow up under his penalty. The Australia gelding travelled well down the straight and was produced with a well-timed challenge to lead on the run-in. He was value for a bit more than his winning margin of a neck. Dual course and distance winner Port Rashid didn't make much impression on heavy ground at Tramore last time and could get a lot closer now on a better surface. Be My Hero has been taken out a few times recently because of testing ground and is another that could figure here now.

HERCULANEUM confirmed the promise of his recent hurdle runs when coming out on top under a well-judged ride here 7 days ago and he could be the way to go under a penalty. Be My Hero for Gordon Elliott and Port Rashid are others to consider, whilst Out of The Park also makes some appeal on just her second start in handicaps.

Successful here last week under a well-judged hold-up ride HERCULANEUM is taken to defy a 7lb penalty

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.
