The withdrawal of Matata makes this a walkover for PEMBROKE.
WALKOVER.
A race won by Edwardstone and Jonbon in the last two seasons. PEMBROKE walks over.

1st (5)  (10/3 +17%)Lord Of Cheshire |
10/3(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lord Of Cheshire 10/3, Won twice in early 2022, supplementing his Ludlow maiden win with a hard-fought success on handicap bow at Wincanton (15.2f). Below form at Cheltenham on final outing that season and not seen since, but he returns with his stable still very much amongst the winners and this trip should suit. Lightly raced 6yo on his last winning mark; can put a line through his run 588 days ago. |
|
2nd (6)  (10/3 +17%)Bon Retour |
10/3(+17%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bon Retour 10/3, Recorded back-to-back wins for Nicky Richards last year and, having dropped below her last winning mark, turned in her best effort for her current yard when third at Carlisle (20f) last month, running on late. Must enter calculations. Well handicapped and the signs were more encouraging when third at Carlisle. |
|
3rd (4)  (11/2 -10%)Here Comes McCoy |
11/2(-10%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Here Comes McCoy 11/2, Made an inauspicious start over fences but back on track quickly returned to hurdles when third at Market Rasen (23.1f) in February. Not disgraced when filling same spot back there the following month and shouldn't be far away if ready to roll after 8 months off. Perhaps not quite as good as he was following a long absence. |
|
4th (1)  (12/1 -140%)Linelee King |
12/1(-140%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Linelee King 12/1, Bumper/hurdle winner who made a winning chasing debut at Aintree in November 2021. Should've followed up at Ayr next time (sprawled badly mid-race) before being struck into at Sandown on final outing that season. Not seen since but has been given a chance by the assessor back over hurdles. Best watched with a return to chasing probably on the agenda sooner rather than later. |
|
5th (7)  (8/1 +68%)Barricane |
8/1(+68%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Barricane 8/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps in 2021 but has offered little both starts this season following a lengthy absence. 10-lb conditional now takes over in the saddle. Lightly raced in recent times; well below his best in both starts this year. |
|
6th (2)  (15/2 -15%)Front View |
15/2(-15%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Front View 15/2, Useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien in 2020/21. Has been given a chance by the handicapper but failed to come on for recent run when only seventh of 12 in 21.2f handicap at Ludlow 13 days ago. First-time visor and tongue strap now enlisted. Potentially well handicapped but it's been a struggle since returning from a long absence. |
|
7th (3)  (10/3 -21%)Sacchoandvanzetti |
10/3(-21%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sacchoandvanzetti 10/3, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for John Queally and has made the frame all 3 starts for new yard, including when fourth at Carlisle (20f) last month. Should go well again. Three seconds for this yard before not quite seeing out the 2m4f on heavy at Carlisle. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The Nigel Twiston-Davies team continues in excellent form, which augurs well for the returning LORD OF CHESHIRE. Twice a winner over hurdles in the early part of 2022, his final outing at Cheltenham clearly wasn't up to scratch and the handicapper has dropped him back to the mark that he scored off at Wincanton on handicap debut. Sacchoandvanzetti has been in consistent form during recent months and he commands respect, along with Here Comes McCoy.
A small field but competitive fare. BON RETOUR seems to be finding her form again having turned in her best effort of the season at Carlisle last month and, with the winner of that race going on to frank the form at Cheltenham last week, she's the percentage call. Lord of Cheshire has a big absence to overcome, but he's a low-mileage sort who returns with his yard still very much amongst the winners. Sacchoandvanzetti has done little wrong for his new stable and ought to be thereabouts again.
A few of these have a bit to prove. SACCHOANDVANZETTI (nap) can reverse Carlisle placings with Bon Retour on this easier track.

(1)  (8/13 +23%)Act Of Authority |
8/13(+23%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Act Of Authority 8/13, Point winner who was runner-up in both bumpers last season. Made a successful start to his hurdle career at Bangor last month and respectable fifth in a Cheltenham Grade 2 since. The one to beat with his sights lowered. Back in shallower waters here after running okay in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham. |
|
1st (6)  (4/1 +43%)El Saviour |
4/1(+43%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) El Saviour 4/1, Cost £80,000 after finishing runner-up on his sole start in Irish points in April 2022. It's taken a bit of time for new connections to get him back to the track but it'll still be interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Runner-up in an ordinary point in early 2022; bought for £80,000; long-while absent. |
|
2nd (10)  (150/1 -50%)Myfanwy's Magic |
150/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Myfanwy's Magic 150/1, No real impact in a couple of bumpers earlier this year and well-held sixth on Ludlow hurdle debut 4 weeks ago. Minor promise in a bumper; 150-1 for hurdling debut at Ludlow and was left trailing. |
|
3rd (14)  (150/1 -275%)Elle Est Beau |
150/1(-275%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Elle Est Beau 150/1, More one for the longer term judged on her efforts in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles. Has not yet lived up to her good pedigree and Harry Skelton riders one of her stablemates. |
|
4th (3)  (150/1 -50%)Brandt |
150/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brandt 150/1, Showed a bit in a couple of bumpers for Gordon Elliott but looks more one for handicaps judged on his 2 hurdles efforts for new yard this autumn. Beaten about a distance in two hurdles and handicaps will be more his thing. |
|
5th (7)  (40/1 -233%)Heard That |
40/1(-233%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Heard That 40/1, Runner-up in a point. Well-held fourth on Hexham bumper debut but showed more when eighth of 17 on C&D hurdle debut a fortnight ago, seeming to pay for a big move into contention and shaping better than the result. Open to progress but Act of Authority has to be considered the stable first string. Midfield finishes in a bumper and C&D novice here weren't devoid of promise. |
|
6th (2)  (9/2 +18%)Soldierofthestorm |
9/2(+18%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Soldierofthestorm 9/2, Promise in bumpers and made a winning start over hurdles in a C&D maiden in May. Well beaten under a penalty on his Ascot reappearance 18 days ago but he may strip fitter for the outing. Odds-on winner of a weak maiden before struggling under a penalty at Ascot. |
|
7th (11)  (17/2 +66%)One Eye On Vegas |
17/2(+66%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) One Eye On Vegas 17/2, Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but not seen again until finishing sixth in a Carlisle novice hurdle last month. Entitled to strip fitter now. Travelled well to a point at Carlisle and was entitled to need that after an absence. |
|
8th (13)  (16/1 -300%)Clararose |
16/1(-300%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Clararose 16/1, Runner-up on her final start in bumpers last season and encouraging third on C&D hurdle debut/reappearance last month. Well beaten at Stratford since but should be in the shake-up if back to the form she showed here. 0-5 and something to prove under these conditions after finishing tailed off last time. |
|
9th (5)  (250/1 -67%)Crac De Megaudais |
250/1(-67%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Crac De Megaudais 250/1, 200/1, tailed off in Stratford novice on debut 3 weeks ago. Went off 200-1 for a novice at Stratford and was completely tailed off. |
|
|U| (9)  (200/1 -100%)Lunar Ocean |
200/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lunar Ocean 200/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers in the spring and best watched now hurdling after 7 months off. Beaten 50l (soft) and 28l (good to soft) in his two bumpers; hard to make a case. |
|
10th (12)  (66/1 +0%)Bobbi's Beauty |
66/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Bobbi's Beauty 66/1, Successful in an Irish point but down the field in a Cheltenham bumper and pulled up in a Stratford novice hurdle since switching to Rules. Went off at lengthy odds for hurdling debut at Stratford where she dropped right out. |
|
11th (15)  (150/1 -88%)Spinnaker Blue |
150/1(-88%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Spinnaker Blue 150/1, Half-sister to 3 winners but beaten a long way in a pair of novice hurdles this autumn. Tailed off in novices at Newton Abbot at Exeter, latterly going off at 150-1. |
|
12th (4)  (150/1 -275%)Camino Rocio |
150/1(-275%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Camino Rocio 150/1, Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Judicial Law. Fifth in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe for Josh Halley in May but tailed off over 21f here for new yard 4 months later. Can only watch after that. Positives in his Irish run but took a backward step here last month when tailed off. |
|
|PU| (8)  (28/1 -250%)Jeteye |
28/1(-250%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jeteye 28/1, Runner-up on his completed outing in Irish points and offered something to work on sent hurdling when fourth in a small-field novice at Haydock (2m) in March. One to note in the betting on return. Eyecatcher when a never-dangerous fourth on hurdling debut in March. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ACT OF AUTHORITY finished sixth when contesting a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month and the drop in class represents a suitable opportunity for Olly Murphy's gelding to bounce back to the sort of impressive form he displayed on his hurdling bow at Bangor. Soldierofthestorm won here in May and is expected to step forward from his recent outing at Ascot, while others worth considering are El Saviour, Jeteye and Clararose.
ACT OF AUTHORITY wasn't up to a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month but holds good claims with his sights lowered. Clararose and Soldierofthestorm bring C&D form to the table and might be the pair to give the selection most to do, although Irish point recruit El Saviour could also have a say in the battle for minor honours if the betting speaks for him.
This looks a run-of-the-mill novice and clearly considerably easier than the race ACT OF AUTHORITY contested at Cheltenham.

6/4(-9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Push The Button 6/4, Displayed a likeable attitude to get off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers at Bangor (16.7f) in April and looked a nice prospect when following up on his Worcester hurdling debut in September. Good fourth at Cheltenham since and back in calmer waters now. Good 4th at Cheltenham latest; going an extra 1f on softer ground can bring him on again. |
|
2nd (4)  (6/4 +33%)Cherie D'Am |
6/4(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cherie D'Am 6/4, Beat only other finisher sole start in points and looked a good prospect when drawing clear to land a weakly-contested bumper at Uttoxeter in April. Maintained unbeaten record readily on hurdles bow at Wetherby 18 days ago and boasts strong claims again. Wasn't remotely troubled to justify market confidence on her hurdling debut at Wetherby. |
|
3rd (2)  (7/1 +7%)Yes Day |
7/1(+7%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Yes Day 7/1, Winning pointer who stepped on his bumper debut when making a successful start to hurdling in a novice at Uttoxeter 45 days ago. This is much tougher, though. Uttoxeter winner; goes into a much stronger race here and with a penalty. |
|
4th (1)  (9/2 -64%)Big Fish |
9/2(-64%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Big Fish 9/2, Solid start when a close second on debut in a 14-runner bumper here (16.7f, good to soft) a year ago and returned from a lengthy absence with a professional performance to make a winning hurdling debut at Exeter. Can do better still. Won comfortably on hurdle debut at Exeter and there's substance to that form. |
|
5th (5)  (125/1 -150%)Grand Escaparde |
125/1(-150%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grand Escaparde 125/1, Limited encouragement in a bumper at Chepstow and a novice hurdle here 15 days ago. Hard to fancy. Showed a bit here last time out but he looks very vulnerable in this company. |
|
6th (7)  (40/1 -60%)Luke The Drifter |
40/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Luke The Drifter 40/1, Related to a couple of winners but no immediate promise in a bumper at Uttoxeter 20 months ago. Not seen since. Beaten about 19l when last of five in a soft-ground bumper at Uttoxeter in March 2022. |
|
|PU| (6)  (300/1 -200%)Lark In The Dark |
300/1(-200%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lark In The Dark 300/1, Maiden pointer who failed to beat a rival at Market Rasen on hurdling bow 108 days ago. Hard to fancy. Unplaced in all six Irish points and trailed home tailed off in a maiden at Market Rasen. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PUSH THE BUTTON built on his Worcester success when staying on nicely for fourth in a decent novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month. That form sets a clear standard and the four-year-old warrants the utmost respect. Big Fish won in comfortable fashion at Exeter and has to enter the reckoning, while the unbeaten Cherie D'am and Yes Day add further spice to the contest.
Point winner CHERIE D'AM has looked a good prospect on both Rules outings and she's fancied to supplement her Wetherby success at the likely expense of Push The Button, who has actually achieved a bit more in form terms. Big Fish is also considered for all that he has a bit to find with the aforementioned pair.
Push The Button sets the standard on his Cheltenham fourth but BIG FISH looks a horse of considerable potential.

1st (1)  (12/1 -50%)Marsh Wren |
12/1(-50%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Marsh Wren 12/1, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles last term, culminating in a career-best display to land a 5-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy). Improvement needed up 3 lb now switched to fences in what looks a strong race for the grade, but she could have a say if her jumping passes the test. 4-8 over hurdles; brings potential to chase debut & she won on last season's reappearance. |
|
2nd (2)  (8/1 +33%)Game On For Glory |
8/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Game On For Glory 8/1, Solid form in bumpers and made a winning hurdles debut under testing conditions at Lingfield in December 2021. Understandably needed the run in a mares' listed hurdle at Wetherby recently (first appearance for 2 years) and she looks a real chasing type. Cheekpieces applied. Returned from very long absence with fair Listed hurdle fourth; could have more to offer. |
|
3rd (3)  (6/1 -33%)Moviddy |
6/1(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moviddy 6/1, Irish point winner who won twice over hurdles last season and made an encouraging start in this sphere when second of 3 finishers on return in a mares' Wincanton handicap (20.2f, soft). That experience won't be wasted on her and likely there's better to come. Runner-up on chase debut at Wincanton and there's room for improvement in her jumping. |
|
4th (6)  (8/1 -45%)Malaita |
8/1(-45%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Malaita 8/1, Bumper winner who improved when bagging mares' handicap hurdles at Carlisle (17f) and Cheltenham (20.2f) last term. Good start over fences when second to an experienced chaser on return at Ludlow (2½m, soft) but heavy ground would be a concern (her very best efforts have come on good/good to soft). Two handicap hurdle wins this year and could improve upon last month's chase debut second. |
|
5th (4)  (3/1 -9%)Lagonda |
3/1(-9%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lagonda 3/1, Dual point winner who went close on chase debut at Exeter in February before finishing fifth of 15 in a mares' listed handicap hurdle at Newbury. Signed last season off with a win in a Chepstow maiden hurdle (23.6f, good to soft) and she's of strong interest back in this sphere. Has run just once over fences, when going close behind a highly progressive winner. |
|
6th (8)  (5/2 +25%)Kraqueline |
5/2(+25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kraqueline 5/2, Fair maiden hurdler who took her form up a level when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, soft) on debut over fences last month. Now 8 lb higher in a tougher race but it's highly likely that this 6-y-o has more to offer as a chaser. Won against males on chase debut at Wincanton and could play a leading role up 8lb. |
|
|PU| (5)  (8/1 +33%)Annie Magic |
8/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Annie Magic 8/1, Irish point winner who made a promising start under Rules, runner-up in a mares' novice hurdle at Exeter prior to winning one at Wincanton (21.4f, good to soft). Rather disappointing thereafter but chasing was always going to be her game and has undergone a wind op since her latest start in April. Returns having had wind op and this point winner could improve for the switch to fences. |
|
|PU| (7)  (20/1 -100%)Lily Glitters |
20/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lily Glitters 20/1, Likeable staying hurdler (4-time winner over timber) and stepped up on her low-key chase debut during the spring when runner-up at Hereford (25.2f, good) last month. No match for the progressive winner on that occasion but she was well clear of the rest and should have races in her over fences. Bumped into a fast-improving winner when 23l second at Hereford; not discounted. |
|
|PU| (9)  (80/1 -220%)Moon Eagle |
80/1(-220%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Moon Eagle 80/1, Patchy form for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland and she hasn't threatened in 4 starts for present yard. Easy enough to look elsewhere. 13-race maiden who is 0-7 in chases and others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Marsh Wren won twice in three outings last season and the switch to the larger obstacles may yield further improvement from the seven-year-old. However, she will need to be near her best to stop LAGONDA. Venetia Williams' mare went close on her sole chase outing when beaten a head at Exeter in February and she is entitled to step forward from that effort, despite being 6lb higher, having done well over timber since. Kraqueline scored on her fencing bow at Wincanton and she is capable of being in the mix too.
In what looks a strong race for the grade, the vote goes to LAGONDA, who was just touched off by an upwardly mobile type in Lazy Sunday (subsequent form figures read 1122) on her sole previous start in this sphere at Exeter in February. She represents a yard that has made a terrific start to the season and resumes on what looks a fair mark. Kraqueline left her hurdles form well behind when making a winning chase debut at Wincanton and she is next best ahead of Moviddy and Game On For Glory.
Today's return to fences could be a major positive for two-time point winner LAGONDA, and she's the pick ahead of Kraqueline.

1st (2)  (7/2 +22%)Thomas Darby |
7/2(+22%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Thomas Darby 7/2, Smart hurdler who is lightly raced over fences and off the mark in this sphere in handicap at Ayr (24.1f) in February. Well held in Aintree Grade 1 in April, but back on track on his return when fourth at Chepstow (23.6f) last month. Task is now to build on his latest effort. 10l to find with Aye Right on their Chepstow clash but could come on for that run. |
|
2nd (4)  (4/1 +20%)Mill Green |
4/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mill Green 4/1, Showed that plenty of ability remains in 2022/23, finishing third in big-field handicaps at both the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals. Not in the same form when last seen in May, but no surprise to see him thereabouts on his first start in veteran company. Lightly raced as a chaser and not seen a fence in public since falling in summer of 2021. |
|
3rd (1)  (2/1 +27%)Aye Right |
2/1(+27%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aye Right 2/1, Very smart chaser who ran well in face of stiff task when fourth in Grade 1 Ascot Chase on his final start last term. After 8 months off, shaped best when caught near finish in veterans' handicap at Chepstow (23.6f) last month, so he's not one to take lightly. Looked sure to win one of these at Chepstow only to tie up in the closing stages. |

4th (3)  (5/1 +44%)Cepage |
5/1(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cepage 5/1, Very smart chaser at best but hasn't stood much racing in recent years, having only one outing in each of the last 2 seasons. Beaten some way out when last seen in this race a year ago, so he has a bit to prove even though he returns with his yard in good form. Off since tailed off in this last year but he's too well handicapped to ignore. |

5th (6)  (6/1 -140%)Jimmy The Digger |
6/1(-140%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jimmy The Digger 6/1, Held his form well last season, winning at Cheltenham (25f) in October and having an excuse when pulled up on his final outing (bled). Shaped well on his return, exiting in luckless fashion when stumbling and unseating at the eleventh at Aintree last month. Major player. Stumbled and unseated mid-race at Aintree; easy to make a solid case on form. |

|PU| (5)  (14/1 -115%)Bennys King |
14/1(-115%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bennys King 14/1, Very smart handicap chase in 2020/21 who was reinvigorated by the switch to hunters last season, winning twice and running a fine race when second at Aintree (21.1f) in April. Now makes his first start in a veterans' race after 7 months off. Quality handicapper back in the day and did well in hunter chases last season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
AYE RIGHT appeared to have the race in safe control on his return at Chepstow before idling after the final fence and getting caught close home by Good Boy Bobby, who has gone in again since. The 10-year-old was also entitled to get tired, with it being his first run since February, and it won't be a surprise if he is capable of outclassing his rivals. Thomas Darby was fourth in that Chepstow event and he should strip fitter for the outing, while Mill Green is of interest back over fences.
JIMMY THE DIGGER shaped well making his first start in veteran company at Aintree on his return, close up and going strongly when unseating at the eleventh, so he is taken build on that and get back to winning ways. Aye Right was only narrowly denied on his reappearance and can give his running once more, with Mill Green the pick of the remainder.
In receipt of weight from all his rivals, JIMMY THE DIGGER is taken to make amends for his unfortunate departure at Aintree.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CHIQUE ANGEL cost 110,000 euros at the Goffs Land Rover sale in June 2022 and it seems significant that Harry Cobden opts to ride her over stable companion Summer Brise. The latter was clearly expected to run well on her Rules debut in Newbury's valuable sales bumper in March and plenty will afford her another chance to deliver. Apples Moon, whose dam is an unraced half-sister to Finian's Oscar, and Lindy Reilly appeal most of the remainder.
CHIQUE ANGEL proved popular at the sales and represents a top stable so is taken to make a winning start. Rula Bula showed ability in a bumper at Aintree so is respected, while Either Or and Lindy Reilly are other likely newcomers.
It was a modest point that EITHER OR won in Ireland but she warranted a mention in Nicky Henderson's Stable Tour.

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.
