14/1(+30%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Flamenco De Kerser 14/1, Winning Irish pointer who has shaped well on both his starts in handicaps, latest when fourth at Wincanton (15.2f) 20 days ago. Tongue tie now added and remains of interest. | |||

33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Numbers Man 33/1, Had a breathing operation prior to showing improved form on Ffos Las chasing debut/return in October. In the process of running below that level when departing last time and now back over hurdles. | |||

1.88/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Punctuation 1.88/1, Fairly useful on Flat, (stays 1¾m). Has yet to fire over hurdles, though caught the eye switched to a handicap at Huntingdon on final run for Charlie Longsdon in May and remains capable of better. | |||

22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sainte Doctor 22/1, French Flat winner who made second handicap start a successful one at Newton Abbot in May. Disappointing there next time but freshened up (off 7 months) since, so worth a market check. | |||

5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Greatest Star 5/1, Tongue tied and confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing 4-runner maiden at Southwell (15.8f) in November. Open to further improvement now heading into handicaps, so highly respected. | |||

8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Exmoor Express 8/1, Fair in bumpers and similar form all 3 starts over hurdles. May improve now handicapping but his opening mark requires it. | |||

66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Henri Le Bon 66/1, Fair maiden hurdler in 2019/20 but disappointed in handicap hurdles last season and has looked one with problems over fences last 2 starts 6 months apart (bled first occasion). | |||
6th (2)  (6/1 -20%)Flinteur Sacre |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flinteur Sacre 6/1, Brother to Sprinter Sacre and easily won a Kempton bumper in early 2020. Hasn't lived up to expectations over hurdles though, downing tools at Uttoxeter when last seen in May. Had breathing op since. | |||
7th (13)  (66/1 +47%)Justshortofabubble |
66/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Justshortofabubble 66/1, Just modest form over hurdles in Ireland for David Harry Kelly and failed to improve for the switch to handicaps on first outing for this yard here 15 days ago. Has work to do. | |||
8th (14)  (9/1 +64%)Commander Miller |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Commander Miller 9/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runes, though has shaped as if retaining some ability both starts back from a breathing operation. | |||
9th (3)  (5/1 -135%)Petrol Head |
5/1(-135%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Petrol Head 5/1, Fit from the Flat and showed much improved form to get off the mark in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, good to soft) 74 days ago, responding well. Should go on improving. | |||
10th (11)  (16/1 -33%)Peckinpah |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Peckinpah 16/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 9.5f) and showed ability in 3 runs over hurdles in 2019/20. Found just a well-treated sort too good at Leicester on reappearance but went backwards at Fakenham last time. | |||
11th (1)  (33/1 +0%)Order Of St John |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Order Of St John 33/1, Flat winner for yard who has shown plenty from the front in maiden hurdles the last twice. Pitched into handicaps now and opening mark probably high enough. | |||
12th (9)  (100/1 -100%)Daenerys Stormborn |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Daenerys Stormborn 100/1, Largely disappointing over hurdles/fences in Ireland for L. Byrne. Others more persuasive. |

0.8/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brave Seasca 0.8/1, Has taken really well to fences and followed up his C&D win with ready victory in 2m Ascot handicap 29 days ago. Up another 9 lb but he's very much on the up and remains weighted to go in again. | |||
2nd (1)  (4.5/1 -29%)Sky Pirate |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sky Pirate 4.5/1, Arrives on the back of three solid efforts this term, third of 4 to Shishkin in Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton last time. Landed this contest 12 months ago, so he's firmly in the mix once more. | |||
3rd (3)  (12/1 -71%)Fast Buck |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fast Buck 12/1, Useful form for Paul Nicholls last term, but he broke a blood vessel on his debut for current yard and has been a below-par third both runs since over C&D and at Ascot. Has plenty to prove at present. | |||
4th (4)  (3/1 -9%)Not Available |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Not Available 3/1, Reliable sort who arrives on a hat-trick after landing 2m handicaps at Newbury and Ludlow, strong at the finish on each occasion. Has a career-high mark to overcome but sure to make his presence felt. |

0.62/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Threeunderthrufive 0.62/1, Four-time hurdle winner last season who enhanced excellent strike rate over fences when taking 3-runner Grade 2 at Doncaster (3m) last month. Big player again. | |||
2nd (3)  (9/1 +0%)Doyen Breed |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Doyen Breed 9/1, Progressive hurdler who made successful chase debut at Hexham (3m) in November. Similar form when last of 2 finishers at Kelso (23.4f) since but this understandably tougher. | |||
3rd (2)  (14/1 +30%)Any News |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Any News 14/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Took well to chasing with close second over 2m here in May but hasn't come close to reproducing that in his 2 runs since. Upped further in trip now. | |||

3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mint Condition 3.33/1, Three-time hurdle winner who has taken well to chasing, relishing testing conditions when scoring in good style at Haydock (22f) last month. Step up to 3m may unlock further improvement. | |||
|PU| (5)  (12/1 +25%)Mossy Fen |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mossy Fen 12/1, Progressed well in novice hurdles in 2019/20. Shaped encouragingly on chase bow at Cheltenham on last season's return but ran as if amiss next time and has since left Nigel Twiston-Davies. |

3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Stag Horn 3.33/1, Smart stayer on the Flat (good record in the mud) who impressed when beating a subsequent winner on hurdles debut at Hereford last month. Potentially lots more to come from him in this game. | |||
2nd (1)  (16/1 -33%)Gentleman At Arms |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gentleman At Arms 16/1, Fairly useful Flat stayer who built on a promising debut over hurdles at Huntingdon when scoring back there in the mud on Boxing Day. Good chance he has more to offer in this sphere. | |||
3rd (4)  (10/1 +44%)Scipion |
10/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Scipion 10/1, Cost a fair bit and filled the runner-up spot again on hurdles debut at Leicester (20.5f) last month, not lying down behind the promising winner. Had a hard race but he's open to improvement. | |||
4th (7)  (4/1 +20%)Viva Lavilla |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Viva Lavilla 4/1, Won 19.5f Lingfield maiden hurdle in November and built on that when second (albeit held) in Sandown Grade 2 shortly after. Has bags of scope and must be on the shortlist. | |||
5th (3)  (3/1 +0%)Party Business |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Party Business 3/1, Has made a fine start over hurdles, winning 21.6f Ascot maiden and then falling 2 out when going well in the Challow at Newbury (set to finish third at worst). Could have plenty more to give. | |||
6th (2)  (16/1 +0%)Howdyalikemenow |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Howdyalikemenow 16/1, Has made a mighty start for this yard, making it 3 wins in 4 in 2m Ffos Las handicap in the mud 10 days ago. This is tougher, while he also has stamina to prove, but he clearly can't be dismissed. | |||
|PU| (6)  (4/1 -78%)Surrey Quest |
4/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Surrey Quest 4/1, Looking a good prospect having maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles in quite taking style at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) last month, coming clear with plenty in hand. Lots to like. |

11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eclair Surf 11/1, Quickly made up into a useful chaser, winning twice in the mud last term. Jumping has rather let him down this season, going well when bad mistake 5 out at Chepstow 6 weeks ago. Longer trip may help. | |||
2nd (11)  (3.5/1 +13%)Gericault Roque |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Gericault Roque 3.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who's taken very well to chasing, improving again when second at Newbury 17 days ago, pulling clear with another progressive sort. Likely more to come up in trip again. | |||

33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Chirico Vallis 33/1, Dual hurdle winner last season and put previous efforts in this sphere behind him when scoring by a narrow margin at Chepstow in October. Remains unexposed as a stayer so not taken lightly. | |||
4th (1)  (5.5/1 +8%)Corach Rambler |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Corach Rambler 5.5/1, Successful pointer and highly-progressive under Rules, winning novice handicaps at Aintree/Cheltenham with more in hand than bare margin suggests. Big shout if inexperience doesn't hold him back. | |||
5th (6)  (22/1 -10%)Jerrysback |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jerrysback 22/1, Low-mileage 10-y-o who is often let down by jumping. Went in snatches when third at Ascot 4 weeks ago and others more convincing. | |||
6th (10)  (50/1 -25%)Head To The Stars |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Head To The Stars 50/1, Has an all-or-nothing profile but strung 2 good efforts together for the first time in a while as he registered a third win at Ludlow last month. Still needs treating with caution, however. | |||
7th (4)  (11/1 -10%)Achille |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Achille 11/1, Shaped like a well-handicapped horse for much of way when fifth of 21 in Becher at Aintree on return. Built on that when good fourth in Welsh National at Chepstow and needs considering eased 3 lb. | |||
8th (3)  (14/1 -17%)Notachance |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Notachance 14/1, Looked a staying chaser on the up when beating Achille by ½ length in this last year off this mark. Pulled up next 3 starts but hinted at a revival in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock. Visor fitted. | |||
|PU| (8)  (7.5/1 -7%)Padleyourowncanoe |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Padleyourowncanoe 7.5/1, Useful chaser for Colin Tizzard and made positive start for this yard after 15 months off when third in handicap hurdle at Haydock 4 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that so respected back chasing. | |||
|PU| (13)  (12/1 -71%)No Rematch |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) No Rematch 12/1, Justified support in making a winning start in this sphere after a year off at Chepstow in February. Shaped much better than the bare result 10 months on at Exeter and bold show expected now. | |||
|PU| (12)  (12/1 +0%)Grace A Vous Enki |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Grace A Vous Enki 12/1, Useful French chaser who was picked up for a six-figure sum. Clear promise over hurdles for new yard this season and is an interesting contender back over fences for yard that has won this 3 times. | |||
|PU| (14)  (12/1 +25%)Captain Tommy |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Captain Tommy 12/1, Gained breakthrough success over fences on debut for this yard at Uttoxeter. Back below that winning mark and catching the eye again of late, departed through no fault of his own at Cheltenham latest. | |||
|PU| (5)  (20/1 -25%)Minella Encore |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Minella Encore 20/1, Arguably fortunate when opening account over fences in eventful Fakenham handicap on return. Struggled at Cheltenham next time but quickly back on track when ready winner at Ludlow in this headgear. | |||
|PU| (2)  (22/1 -10%)The Hollow Ginge |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Hollow Ginge 22/1, Back to form when just denied at Cheltenham on return and didn't run as badly as form suggests in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury next time. However, ran no sort of race in this last year. | |||
|PU| (15)  (28/1 +44%)Game Line |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Game Line 28/1, Much improved for this yard, bagging third win at Fakenham in May. Good third in Sussex National at Plumpton 2 weeks ago but was beaten around 10 lengths and this much more competitive. |

3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sporting John 3/1, Grade 1 novice chase winner last term. Made a successful return to hurdles in 3m Cheltenham listed handicap in November and respectable fourth back there since. Considered. | |||
2nd (4)  (10/1 -11%)The Jam Man |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Jam Man 10/1, Very useful over hurdles and fences, including a win in last year's Troytown. Creditable fourth of 23 at Navan last month and trainer has a good strike-rate with his British runners. | |||
3rd (3)  (7.5/1 -25%)Third Wind |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Third Wind 7.5/1, Looked a stayer on the up when taking Rendlesham at Haydock last February. Not at that level twice since, although he may have needed the run in Ascot Grade 1 on return and this easier. | |||
4th (1)  (14/1 -27%)Sire Du Berlais |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sire Du Berlais 14/1, Second in Stayers' at 2021 Cheltenham Festival and also twice a winner of final of this series at that meeting. Pulled up at Leopardstown over Christmas. Cheltenham likely the main aim again. | |||
5th (6)  (3.5/1 -27%)Alaphilippe |
3.5/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Alaphilippe 3.5/1, Point/bumper winner who was a useful novice hurdler last term, the highlight being a 3m Haydock Grade 2 success in February. Opening handicap mark of 140 looks manageable. | |||
6th (5)  (33/1 -50%)Keeper Hill |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Keeper Hill 33/1, Smart but clumsy chaser who wasn't at the same level when returned to hurdles at the start of 2021. Ran no sort of race back over fences on his return and has a fair bit to prove back hurdling. | |||
|PU| (7)  (2.12/1 +23%)Riggs |
2.12/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Riggs 2.12/1, Back on the up when second in EBF Final at Sandown last March and stepped up on even that form when runner-up in competitive 3m Haydock handicap in November. Fancied to go well again. |

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.
