(3)  (100/1 +0%)Kentford Drake |
100/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kentford Drake 100/1, 20/1, down the field in a Lingfield AW bumper last month. Quickly switches to hurdles. | |||
1st (5)  (6/1 +40%)Monviel |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Monviel 6/1, Half-brother to a couple of winners and he's shown ability when sixth in a bumper/novice hurdle in recent months. Should have more to offer. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.33/1 +18%)Duke Of Rockingham |
0.33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Duke Of Rockingham 0.33/1, Kayf Tara gelding who landed a bumper at Uttoxeter and was unfortunate not to make a winning start over hurdles when a fast-finishing second at Lingfield in November. Can make amends. | |||
3rd (8)  (3.5/1 -5%)Name In Lights |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Name In Lights 3.5/1, Showed plenty when second on Sandown hurdle debut in November. Perhaps not over those exertions when well held at the same venue 4 weeks later. Given a bit of time since and could bounce back. | |||
4th (4)  (22/1 -38%)Learntalot |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Learntalot 22/1, €44,000 Ask half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Ministerforsport. Dam unraced. Duke of Rockingham has to be considered yard first string unless betting suggests otherwise. | |||
5th (11)  (20/1 +0%)Moorland Rambler |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Moorland Rambler 20/1, Related to winners and showed a bit of potential in a course bumper last month. Starts out over hurdles in a race lacking depth and no surprise were he to hit the frame. | |||
6th (6)  (100/1 -100%)Moscow Spy |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moscow Spy 100/1, Has shown a bit in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles but appeals as more one for handicaps over longer trips after this. | |||
7th (7)  (200/1 -33%)My Rockstar |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) My Rockstar 200/1, Placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points but hasn't offered much in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles under Rules. | |||
8th (1)  (200/1 +0%)Captain Grinnaway |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Grinnaway 200/1, Looks one for handicaps based on his efforts at Uttoxeter and Chepstow in recent weeks. | |||
9th (10)  (40/1 +0%)Precious |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Precious 40/1, Knew her job when making a successful bumper debut at Plumpton last December but hasn't made an impact in 3 runs since, including on her C&D hurdle debut on Boxing Day. | |||
|PU| (9)  (125/1 -150%)Whynotnowken |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Whynotnowken 125/1, 8/1, last of 10 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) on debut 50 days ago. Can only watch after that. |

1st (8)  (0.91/1 +39%)Imphal |
0.91/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Imphal 0.91/1, Has sprouted wings since upped in trip, completing a hat-trick in October/November. Badly hampered at first and did well to get second in a big field at Ascot last time. Likely still on a good mark. | |||
2nd (6)  (11/1 -57%)Acey Milan |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Acey Milan 11/1, Aintree novice handicap chase winner in October 2020 but has largely struggled since, including well held back hurdling on his reappearance. Only midfield over fences at Haydock since. | |||
3rd (3)  (11/1 -83%)Jepeck |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jepeck 11/1, Veteran who bounced back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark over 21f here 12 days ago. In control a long way out on that occasion and respected despite a 6 lb rise. | |||
4th (7)  (6/1 +0%)Lord Of Kerak |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lord Of Kerak 6/1, Fairly useful winning novice hurdler last term. Made a sound enough return to action after wind surgery when fifth of 10 in 20.5f Ayr handicap last month and he may come on for the outing. | |||
5th (5)  (12/1 +0%)Valtor |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Valtor 12/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who ended his time for Nicky Henderson in good order and made reasonable start for his new stable when third over fences at Ascot last month. | |||
6th (2)  (22/1 +21%)Captain Drake |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Captain Drake 22/1, Placed in Midlands and Welsh Nationals in recent campaigns but pulled up in this season's Welsh National. Remains to be seen if a return to hurdles helps matters. | |||
7th (4)  (6.5/1 -30%)St Barts |
6.5/1(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) St Barts 6.5/1, Winning pointer/hurdler who confirmed promise of chase debut when making all at Newbury (3m) last winter. Disappointed in a chase on his Chepstow return but retains potential back hurdling. | |||
|PU| (1)  (11/1 +21%)Geordie Des Champs |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Geordie Des Champs 11/1, Three wins already this season but has found life tougher the last twice, beaten just under 16 lengths when fifth at Ludlow last week. Others hold stronger claims. |

1st (3)  (9/1 -38%)Native Robin |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Native Robin 9/1, Improved his strike rate with a brace of wins this term, latterly when making most over C&D 4 weeks ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. | |||
2nd (7)  (8.5/1 -13%)Larkbarrow Lad |
8.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Larkbarrow Lad 8.5/1, Temperamental sort who extended his long losing run at Taunton 3 weeks ago, found wanting when push came to shove. On a good mark if blinkers help him, though. | |||
3rd (4)  (4/1 +0%)Esprit De Somoza |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Esprit De Somoza 4/1, Much more polished returned to fences when cashing on a falling mark at Wincanton last month. That wasn't a great race and he's up 7 lb here. | |||
4th (2)  (40/1 -60%)Abaya Du Mathan |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Abaya Du Mathan 40/1, Fairly useful chaser in France but predictably struggled from 18 lb out of the handicap on first outing for this yard at Aintree last month. Fell heavily at Plumpton since and blinkers now added. | |||
5th (8)  (7.5/1 -15%)White Moon |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) White Moon 7.5/1, Lightly raced in recent times and form is decidedly patchy, failing to offer much resistance in C&D race won by Esprit De Somoza last month. Cheekpieces reached for. | |||
6th (5)  (5.5/1 +0%)Iron Mike |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Iron Mike 5.5/1, Runner-up on a couple of occasions over hurdles last term and has made encouraging start to his chasing career, paying the price for a rapid move into contention when fifth to Native Robin over C&D. | |||
7th (9)  (50/1 +0%)Lure Des Pres |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lure Des Pres 50/1, Successful twice between the flags, but hasn't really threatened to win under Rules and is 13 lb out of the weights here. | |||
|U| (6)  (5.5/1 +50%)Mont Saint Vincent |
5.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mont Saint Vincent 5.5/1, Found improvement when opening account in 9-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f) in April. Low-key chase/handicap debut over C&D but he was hampered. | |||
|PU| (1)  (2.5/1 +0%)Oneupmanship |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Oneupmanship 2.5/1, Maiden hurdle winner at Ffos Las in April and encouraging return in handicap company at that venue. Chasing type and in process of making a really good first attempt over fences when falling latest. |

1st (10)  (2.5/1 +17%)Whydah Gally |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Whydah Gally 2.5/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who posted an excellent second in 23f handicap hurdle at Lingfield in November, travelling strongly long way. Form has been franked, so he's a big player off an unchanged mark. | |||
2nd (4)  (5.5/1 -65%)Jetaway Joey |
5.5/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jetaway Joey 5.5/1, Resumed with Uttoxeter success and posted good fifth of 12 on his handicap bow at Ascot (21.6f) 34 days ago. In the mix eased 1 lb. | |||
3rd (2)  (7.5/1 +17%)Welsh Saint |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Welsh Saint 7.5/1, Went backwards from his reappearance when only eighth of 12 in 3m handicap hurdle at Haydock 33 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now with a bit to prove. | |||
4th (6)  (7/1 +22%)Mr Tambourine Man |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mr Tambourine Man 7/1, Had wind op before respectable fourth of 14 in 19f novice hurdle at Taunton 21 days ago. Blinkers go on now and he can't be discounted back in handicap company. | |||
5th (8)  (80/1 -100%)Smith's Bay |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Smith's Bay 80/1, Fair winning hurdler for Alan King but he failed to go on in three runs over fences last term. Returns for a new yard now with lots to prove. | |||
6th (7)  (50/1 -52%)Coal Stock |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coal Stock 50/1, Dual 19f hurdle winner last term. Pulled up on his sole run for Ralph Smith at Ffos Las in October, so plenty more is required for another new trainer here. | |||
7th (5)  (10/1 +29%)Midnight Midge |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Midnight Midge 10/1, C&D winner in 2019 but he's failed to add to it over fences since, jumping sketchily when last of 5 here 37 days ago. Possibilities returned to hurdles off a reduced mark. | |||
|B| (1)  (3/1 +70%)Stormy Flight |
3/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stormy Flight 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler who wasn't disgraced on his chasing bow when seventh in 2m handicap at Chepstow 78 days ago. No forlorn hope after his break. | |||
|F| (3)  (10/1 -43%)Henry Gondoff |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Henry Gondoff 10/1, Wetherby novice hurdle winner last term but he has offered little in two runs over fences this term, cheekpieces on when pulled up at Exeter 19 days ago. Has plenty to prove back in this sphere. | |||
|PU| (9)  (16/1 -113%)Forever Des Long |
16/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Forever Des Long 16/1, Remains a maiden, but he shaped as though the run was needed when remote third in Exeter novice (18.5f) 19 days ago. Goes handicapping and not totally dismissed. | |||
|PU| (11)  (40/1 -150%)Age Of Wisdom |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Age Of Wisdom 40/1, Fair winner over hurdles and on the level but he's been off the track for 18 months. In good hands, and the market should prove a good guide on his comeback run. |

8.5/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Eragon De Chanay 8.5/1, Well treated on the pick of his hurdling form but is a far from natural chaser and was again held back by his jumping at Plumpton last time. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.75/1 +31%)Poppa Poutine |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Poppa Poutine 2.75/1, Dual hurdle winner last term, signing off with 25f Catterick handicap win in March. In better heart than form figures suggest over fences and return to this sort of trip will help. | |||
3rd (3)  (6.5/1 -86%)Pennyforapound |
6.5/1(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pennyforapound 6.5/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles and easily best over fences in first-time cheekpieces when third at Taunton last month. Step back up in trip should suit. | |||
4th (4)  (4/1 +0%)Aki Bomaye |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Aki Bomaye 4/1, Improved on hurdles form when second at Worcester on handicap bow return, no match for the winner. Didn't improve as quite expected up to 23.6f last month. | |||

3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Velasco 3/1, Failed to build on promising Worcester second when only fair fifth in 25f Hereford handicap, hanging left. Hood/tongue strap back on and back on his game when runner-up at Taunton. 4 lb rise fair. | |||
6th (6)  (8/1 +64%)Vaziani |
8/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Vaziani 8/1, Stamina his forte, but more miss than hit over hurdles of late and made an inauspicious first attempt over fences in October 2020. | |||
|PU| (7)  (18/1 +55%)Pour Une Raison |
18/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pour Une Raison 18/1, Won a pair of handicap hurdles last season but heavy defeats all 3 starts back this term so lots to prove switched to fences. |

8.5/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) El Paso Wood 8.5/1, Notched up 4-timer in the French Provinces last year. Little to write home about in 3 starts for current yard, held in fourth at Plumpton earlier this month. | |||

9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Colorado Doc 9/1, Notched third success when landing Worcester novice hurdle in October. Good runner-up efforts back chasing at Newbury/Chepstow but failed to stay in Welsh National since and stamina a concern again. | |||
3rd (6)  (12/1 -50%)Premier D'troice |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Premier D'troice 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler who doubled chase tally on yard debut at Newton Abbot (25.7f) in June. Not built on that since however, including when tongue tied after wind op latest. | |||
4th (7)  (3/1 +10%)Favori De Sivola |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Favori De Sivola 3/1, Took handicaps at Taunton/here last season and resumed after wind op with much-improved wins at Exeter and this course (25.1f) again on Boxing Day. Building up a good strike rate over fences. | |||
|PU| (3)  (2.75/1 -57%)Destinee Royale |
2.75/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Destinee Royale 2.75/1, Progressive sort, winning 3m Wetherby handicap chase in the mud and nearly defying 9 lb rise at Haydock. Still full of running when falling at Cheltenham on return and remains of interest. | |||
|PU| (4)  (4.5/1 +40%)Legends Gold |
4.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Legends Gold 4.5/1, Winning hurdler who has reached a useful level over fences, posting 3 good placed efforts this season. Ought to be thereabouts again. | |||
|PU| (5)  (7/1 -27%)Captain Chaos |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Captain Chaos 7/1, Produced best effort when narrowly prevailing in Ascot listed handicap in February. Now 5 lb below that winning mark but with good reason having shown little so far this season. Headgear back on. | |||
|PU| (2)  (28/1 -12%)Quarenta |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quarenta 28/1, Has shown some quirks but proved better than ever when scoring on Ascot reappearance last season. However, mixed record after and offered little at Cheltenham on return. |

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.
