1	10 1st (10) (7/2 +30%) Imperial Alex		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(10) Imperial Alex 7/2, Winning hurdler who made up into a better chaser last season, gaining a first success over fences when scoring easily in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) in March. Defied a penalty in emphatic fashion at Wetherby since so not taken lightly despite racing off 10 lb higher in much better race. Up another 8lb in a much better race but he's only 7yo and seems to be improving.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/2 +50%) Pimlico Point		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(9) Pimlico Point 7/2, Low-mileage 7-y-o who got off the mark in this sphere in 4-runner handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) in February. Let down by jumping at Ffos Las since but remains with potential. Only four chase runs and, unlike a lot of these, he could still be on the upgrade.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 -40%) Ballygrifincottage		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(3) Ballygrifincottage 7/2, Low-mileage chaser who produced best effort for a while when second in a 3m Sandown handicap and backed that up when seventh of 26 in Scottish National 2 weeks ago, right in the mix for most of the latter stages despite racing wide throughout. Player back down in trip if this doesn't come too soon. Leading player if recovered from his good run in the recent Scottish National.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 -44%) Farceur Du Large		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(4) Farceur Du Large 13/2, Useful at best in Ireland. Lost his way a little over there but showed he retains all his ability when winning first 2 starts for new stable at Sandown (for Military amateur jockeys). Shaped as if still in good form in Midlands National here since and drop back in trip very much in his favour. Two Sandown wins before failing to stay 4m2f in the Midlands National here.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -12%) Top Ville Ben		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Top Ville Ben 28/1, Winless for well over 2 years and further signs of decline last season. Easy to look elsewhere. Mark continues to slide but he looks vulnerable to rivals in better form.
6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 +28%) Docpickedme		18 18/1(+28%)																															(5) Docpickedme 18/1, Boasts an all-or-nothing profile, producing a career-best win at Wetherby (19.4f) before poor efforts at Doncaster/Kempton. Hard to know what to expect. He's not easy to predict but a good day would see him have some say off this mark.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 -100%) Flegmatik		14 14/1(-100%)																															(1) Flegmatik 14/1, Ended a near 2-year losing run when scoring at Kempton in January. Took his form up a notch when an excellent runner-up there (2m4f) in March but shaped as if over the top at Aintree since. Can run well away from Kempton but it's never going to be easy off his current mark.
8	8 |F| (8) (13/2 -8%) Stormy Flight		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(8) Stormy Flight 13/2, Gradually worked his way back to form last season and took advantage of a drop in the weights in 4-runner event at Exeter in December. Resumed winning ways in veterans event there in March but will find this tougher. May need a personal best to win at this level but running well and appeals each-way.
2	2 |PU| (2) (22/1 -38%) Cheddleton		22 22/1(-38%)																															(2) Cheddleton 22/1, Ran poorly on his 2 starts following his reappearance but with cheekpieces applied he returned to form when winning 4-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (20.1f, soft). However, added to mixed record with a poor effort back hurdling at Bangor 6 weeks ago. Newcastle chase wins splits two pull-ups over hurdles; not as good as he was.

17:45 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

FARCEUR DU LARGE appeared to be revitalised by a change of scenery with victories in both the Grand and Royal Military races at Sandown, before not getting home here in the Midlands National on his latest outing. The drop in trip on this occasion gives him every chance to get his head back in front. The hat-trick seeking Imperial Alex faces a 10lb hike for his Wetherby success and is likely to enter calculations, while Ballygrifincottage and Pimlico Point are others worth noting.

FARCEUR DU LARGE shaped as if still in very good form when fifth in the Midlands Grand National here 7 weeks ago, the combination of the much longer trip and a stopping blunder in the straight exaggerating the distance he was beaten, and he's fancied to resume winning ways back down in distance. Ballygrifincottage is another who shaped better than the bare result when seventh in the Scottish National and rates a big threat if this doesn't come too soon. In-form Imperial Alex is best of the rest.

It's only two weeks since his excellent run in the Scottish National but BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE (nap) has really turned a corner this year.

1	8 1st (8) (20/1 -100%) Higgs		20 20/1(-100%)																															(8) Higgs 20/1, Veteran who remains without a win over fences although another placed effort over C&D 10 days ago, albeit again capitulating pretty quickly. Vulnerable. 0-17 over fences but was second twice on slow ground last month (latterly over C&D).
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -78%) Mister Barclay		8 8/1(-78%)																															(1) Mister Barclay 8/1, Has done well since upped to 3m over hurdles, holding on to open account in testing conditions at Exeter 4 weeks ago. Switched to chasing now and can go well. Opened hurdling account with hard-fought win at Exeter last month; chase debut today.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 +6%) Unwanted Attention		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(4) Unwanted Attention 17/2, Off the mark over hurdles over 2½m here last summer. Some encouragement on chase debut at Hereford in December and may have needed the run 3 months on at Southwell. Course hurdle winner off 3lb higher last June but seems best on good ground.
4	6 4th (6) (8/15 +58%) Blagthebookies		0.533333 8/15(+58%)																															(6) Blagthebookies 8/15, No show over hurdles but wide-margin winner of a point last month. Worth a look now handicap chasing for new trainer. Dual point winner; makes handicap/stable/chase debut off lowly mark; very interesting.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -118%) Kap Chidley		12 12/1(-118%)																															(2) Kap Chidley 12/1, Better at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago and has slipped to a good mark judged on a couple of bits of form, not least a second over C&D in October. Interesting. 0-7 over fences but was second over C&D off 6lb higher in October and ran okay last month.
10	10 |PU| (10) (11/1 +31%) Lindisfarne		11 11/1(+31%)																															(10) Lindisfarne 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden with patchy form, not unbacked but offering little in 2 runs over fences either side of Christmas. Back from long absence with two disappointing runs but not written off just yet.
3	3 |PU| (3) (18/1 -140%) Wexford Park		18 18/1(-140%)																															(3) Wexford Park 18/1, Hasn't shown much in bumper/3 races over hurdles but from a pointing background and could do better now handicapping upped in trip and switched to fences back from 5 months off. No threat in three maiden/novice hurdles; improvement possible in handicap chases.
5	5 |PU| (5) (20/1 -100%) Hi Riko		20 20/1(-100%)																															(5) Hi Riko 20/1, Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles in November and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests back over fences at Taunton (23f) 3 weeks ago. May yet do better in this sphere. Ran well for a long way when fifth at Taunton last month; could have a say here.
7	7 |PU| (7) (40/1 -186%) Bombay Sunset		40 40/1(-186%)																															(7) Bombay Sunset 40/1, Second in point bumper (May 2022) but well beaten in a couple of bumpers/over hurdles. Low mark for handicap chase debut. Cut little ice when a big-priced outsider in three maiden hurdles; chase/handicap debut.
9	9 |PU| (9) (100/1 -52%) Leading The Way		100 100/1(-52%)																															(9) Leading The Way 100/1, Modest maiden hurdler who has offered little in 3 runs over fences this year. Has struggled over hurdles/fences since the autumn; very difficult to enthuse over.

18:18 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BLAGTHEBOOKIES showed very little over hurdles in four attempts for Christian Williams in the autumn months. However, the six-year-old recently showcased his wel-lbeing with victory in a point-to-point and might just be the type who runs up a sequence now in the care of Harry Derham. Mister Barclay gained his first win at Exeter last month and is an obvious threat on his chasing bow, with Higgs and Kap Chidley appealing most of the remainder.

KAP CHIDLEY's best run came in a C&D handicap chase in October off 6 lb higher and having shaped better last time he could be ready to strike. Mister Barclay opened his account over hurdles 4 weeks ago and is interesting now switched to fences, while Blagthebookies is worth a look starting out in this sphere for Harry Derham.

If judged on last year's Irish point win, Harry Derham's new recruit BLAGTHEBOOKIES could be a blot on the handicap.

9	9 (9) ( ) Molly's Third Man		0 ()																															(9) Molly's Third Man , Comfortably held in 2 bumpers last spring and similar story over hurdles so far. Visor needs to perk him up. Not improved for going handicapping the last twice, looking one-paced over 2m3f and 3m1f.
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +50%) Shengai Enki		4 4/1(+50%)																															(1) Shengai Enki 4/1, Fair form in bumpers in Ireland and similar standard over hurdles in Britain, returning from a 7-month break when placed twice in handicaps last month at up to 23.4f. Likely to give it another good go. Thereabouts in most of his races and seemed to stay the 2m7f okay last time at Fakenham.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/3 +39%) Twp Stori		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(7) Twp Stori 10/3, Progressive type who got off the mark in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, heavy) in March. 7 lb rise asks a new question but he needs considering. Up 7lb for winning in a small field last time but at least has momentum behind him.
3	12 3rd (12) (40/1 +39%) Tis But A Scratch		40 40/1(+39%)																															(12) Tis But A Scratch 40/1, Essentially a poor maiden. Has yet to make the frame over hurdles and there's no signs of improvement forthcoming.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +50%) River Voyage		4 4/1(+50%)																															(3) River Voyage 4/1, Winning Irish pointer and best run over hurdles when third of 6 in novice at Chepstow (3m, heavy) in March, Plugged on for fifth on handicap bow back there over 19.5 and step back up in distance can only help. Returns to nearly 3m for his second handicap and could have a PB lurking.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 -9%) Geordie Night		6 6/1(-9%)																															(4) Geordie Night 6/1, Promising individual who was unsuited by steady gallop when seventh of 14 on handicap debut at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to soft) in March. Likely has more to offer, particularly granted a true test of stamina. 0-6 under rules and today's much longer trip will need to bring him.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 +29%) Houston Calling		5 5/1(+29%)																															(6) Houston Calling 5/1, Left previous efforts behind when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, heavy) in March. Held back by a couple of untidy jumps when fourth at Chepstow since. Second at Stratford before let down by her jumping last time; possible improver.
11	11 |F| (11) (22/1 +45%) Lion's Vigil		22 22/1(+45%)																															(11) Lion's Vigil 22/1, A fair winning stayer on the Flat and debut fourth in this sphere at Warwick in May 2021 was encouraging. No real impact subsequently, though he almost certainly needed last month's return. Ran okay back from an absence but he's up in trip and this 1m4f winner might be stretched.
8	8 |PU| (8) (12/1 +52%) Ronnies Reflection		12 12/1(+52%)																															(8) Ronnies Reflection 12/1, Little to shout about in his qualifying runs but he's had a breathing operation and is upped markedly in trip for this handicap debut. Had wind surgery ahead of handicap debut but has an awful lot to prove.

18:53 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having benefitted from the extra yardage last time, AWORKINPROGRESS can follow up that comfortable success over the extended 2m5f at Fontwell. Nick Gifford's charge has been raised 6lb in the ratings for that success, which could prove lenient with another step up in trip unlikely to be an issue. Twp Stori appears likely to be pose the biggest threat to the selection after a cosy win over 3m2f at Fontwell and he's likely to be strong at the line, despite a 7lb rise. Shengai Enki is a consistent performer who could hit the frame.

AWORKINPROGRESS was strong at the finish when making his second handicap start a winning one at Fontwell around a month ago, and with this extra emphasis on stamina sure to suit, he's the one to beat. Geordie Night also has a bigger performance in him, with Flashy Boy one to note in the betting starting out for Fergal O'Brien.

This looks open. RIVER VOYAGE has the potential to deliver a hefty spike in his form now returned to nearly 3m for his second handicap.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +50%) Ambassador		5 5/1(+50%)																															(2) Ambassador 5/1, Left Martin Keighley on the back of a win in July and made it 2 wins from 3 first starts for current connections at Kelso in September. Not disgraced back on the Flat recently and looked to find 20.8f too much of a test returned to this sphere when last seen in November. Three hurdle wins in early part of last season; back from break here; prefers good ground.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +0%) Speiriuil		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(7) Speiriuil 7/2, Mildly progressive in juvenile company last season and opening mark leaves her competitive in receipt of age allowance. Made the frame on all four starts last season; can feature again on this handicap debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +28%) Churchman		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(5) Churchman 13/2, More encouraging signs in handicaps when fourth at Ludlow in November and went agonisingly close to shedding the maiden tag back there in February, losing out on the nod. Shade disappointing at Stratford a fortnight ago, though. 0-7 over hurdles but went very close at Ludlow two starts ago; a possible.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -191%) Aviewofthestars		16 16/1(-191%)																															(6) Aviewofthestars 16/1, Two from 2 upon joining Fergal O'Brien, following up her Plumpton success back down at 2m at Worcester in October, despite conceding first run to plenty. Moved yards again (£7,000 buy) and failed badly in her hat-trick bid, finding little. Dual hurdle winner in autumn; heavy ground a plausible excuse for below-par run last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -20%) Mrs Grimley		9 9/1(-20%)																															(3) Mrs Grimley 9/1, Fair bumper winner who has shown similar form over hurdles, opening her account in Ffos Las novice last winter. Mixed bag subsequently though, pulling up both starts in 2024. Since left Ben Pauling and had a breathing op. Became disappointing for Ben Pauling last season; makes stable debut after a wind op.
6th	11 6th (11) (25/1 +38%) Fort Nelson		25 25/1(+38%)																															(11) Fort Nelson 25/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and well held all 3 starts over hurdles in 2022. Understandably needed the run on last month's reappearance and this will reveal more. Well beaten when 50-1 for last month's handicap debut at Ludlow; had wind op soon after.
9	9 |PU| (9) (6/4 +40%) Hugueneau		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(9) Hugueneau 6/4, Still looking for first success but most encouraging run yet when runner-up at Ffos Las 12 days ago. Nudged up 1 lb and this could be a good opening. 0-5 over hurdles for stable but ran well in defeat behind progressive rival 12 days ago.

19:25 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Following a clear second over 2m at Ffos Las last time, HUGUENEAU is taken to go one better today. Dan Skelton's charge bumped into a progressive rival on that occasion and having been raised just 1lb by the handicapper, he can exploit this mark of 87. Churchman is feared most if he can return to the form that saw him denied by just a nose over 2m at Ludlow on his penultimate outing off the same mark, while Chevington could be seen to be better effect now handicapping.

HUGUENEAU produced his most promising effort yet when runner-up at Ffos Las 12 days ago and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Speiriuil is a threat on handicap debut in receipt of a 4-y-o allowance, with Colonel Lesley one to monitor in the betting for a new yard.

Dan Skelton's runner HUGUENEAU shaped as though his turn might be near when keeping on well for second at Ffos Las recently.

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.
