1st (6)  (6/1 +8%)Universal Secret |
6/1(+8%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Universal Secret 6/1, Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 17 in a C&D handicap (soft) 42 days ago. Should remain competitive in a weak race. | |||
2nd (4)  (14/1 +13%)Tedwin Hills |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tedwin Hills 14/1, Shaped with some promise with fourth in a Uttoxter bumper on debut but has been well held both starts over hurdles. | |||
3rd (7)  (3.2/1 +4%)What A Steal |
3.2/1(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) What A Steal 3.2/1, Showed fair form in a couple of bumpers last winter and shaped as if better for the run sent hurdling after 8 months off when fifth of 16 in a Hereford novice (16.2f). Upped in trip and not in same form at Ludlow since but it remains early days. | |||
4th (2)  (11/1 +8%)Moytier |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moytier 11/1, Fair form when placed both starts over hurdles in France in 2020/21. Claimed for €13,006 subsequently and not dismissed on UK/stable debut despite 23-month absence. | |||
5th (1)  (0.8/1 -19%)Earth Cry |
0.8/1(-19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Earth Cry 0.8/1, Related to multiple winners on the Flat and impressed in bumpers, winning both his starts. Not seen to best effect when fourth on Ludlow hurdling debut (15.8f) in November and is sure to improve. | |||
6th (10)  (25/1 +24%)Tuscan Rose |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tuscan Rose 25/1, Looks one for the longer term on early evidence. | |||
7th (3)  (25/1 -25%)Sailed Away |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sailed Away 25/1, Made frame sole start in point bumper and shaped with some encouragement on Rules debut in a Bangor bumper (for Stuart Edmunds) in September. Safely held both starts over hurdles, though. | |||
8th (5)  (200/1 -203%)Thieving Gap |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thieving Gap 200/1, Has shaped with no encouragement in a bumper/maiden hurdle. | |||
9th (9)  (100/1 -203%)Somerway |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Somerway 100/1, Looked one for later on when well held in a bumper at Uttoxeter on debut back in October. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this switch to hurdling. Also tongue tied. | |||
|PU| (8)  (200/1 -100%)Dream Bet |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dream Bet 200/1, Looked a hard ride when pulled up in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) on debut 8 months ago. |

1st (1)  (2.25/1 -50%)Flic Ou Voyou |
2.25/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Flic Ou Voyou 2.25/1, Resumed with win at Chepstow in October but only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f) 113 days ago. Could get back on track after a break though. | |||
2nd (6)  (4.5/1 +31%)Balko Saint |
4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Balko Saint 4.5/1, Mixed record over hurdles last season but fared better than of late over fences when sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f) 15 days ago. Needs to build on it now. | |||
3rd (5)  (2.5/1 +17%)Flagrant Delitiep |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Flagrant Delitiep 2.5/1, Yet to hit top form this term, but not disgraced back at 2m when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Lingfield 59 days ago. Back up in trip and this C&D scorer is weighted to go well off a 4 lb lower mark here. | |||
|F| (4)  (4/1 +0%)Kauto The King |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kauto The King 4/1, Completed a hat-trick in small-field handicap chases during the summer. Below his best since though so this 3-time C&D winner needs to take a step forward. | |||
|PU| (2)  (9/1 -20%)Neville's Cross |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Neville's Cross 9/1, Scored at Bangor in July but hasn't fired subsequently, remote fifth at Kempton last month. A more compelling case can be made for others. |

1st (3)  (3.33/1 +0%)I Like To Move It |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) I Like To Move It 3.33/1, Smart novice hurdler last season and took it up another notch when impressively winning the Greatwood over 2m at Cheltenham on his reappearance in November. Disappointing behind First Street and Knappers Hill in Relkeel there next time but could get back on the up returned to the minmum trip. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.75/1 +7%)Knappers Hill |
1.75/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Knappers Hill 1.75/1, Enhanced good strike-rate when taking the Grade 2 Elite over C&D in November but he was 8 lengths behind the reopposing First Street when a below-form fourth in the Relkeel at Cheltenham (2½m) on New Year's Day. Needs to get back to his best. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.25/1 +9%)First Street |
1.25/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) First Street 1.25/1, Mighty efforts in Betfair and County Hurdles last term and resumed with a win in the Gerry Feilden at Newbury (2m) in November. Even better form when third (Knappers Hill and I Like To Move It behind) in Grade 2 Relkeel at Cheltenham (2½m) on New Year's Day. Leading claims. | |||
4th (4)  (25/1 +11%)Global Citizen |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Global Citizen 25/1, Smart front-running hurdler/chaser who landed Grand Annual at Cheltenham in gutsy fashion in March. Well beaten in a Worcester handicap chase and an American Grade 1 hurdle on his return in the autumn. Best watched back from 4 months off. |

1st (2)  (5.5/1 +0%)Switch Hitter |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Switch Hitter 5.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who made winning chase bow at Hereford (25.2f) last winter. Creditable placed efforts on 2 of next 3 starts but he did back out of things rather disconcertingly on Cheltenham return in December. Absent since. | |||
2nd (6)  (9/1 -29%)Wake Up Early |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wake Up Early 9/1, Bright start for this yard last spring, adding to his tally at Market Rasen (27.5f) in May. Warmed to his task when second on return at Musselburgh (31.5f) in November but not in same form in Borders National at Kelso a month later. Still, this rates more suitable. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.5/1 -27%)Fantastikas |
3.5/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fantastikas 3.5/1, Largely progressive novice chaser last term and he showed up well for a long way in a 27f Cheltenham handicap on his reappearance. Struggled in Becher/Welsh National thereafter but given a break since and this rates more suitable. | |||
4th (5)  (1.25/1 +44%)Ede'iffs Elton |
1.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ede'iffs Elton 1.25/1, All 3 career wins have come over fences at this course, the latest in this race 12 months ago. Running with credit in defeat late on last year and, on back of a wind op, it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing from what rates a handy mark. | |||
|PU| (3)  (4.5/1 +18%)Sam Barton |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sam Barton 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who was better than ever when making winning return to action at Worcester (23f) in October. However, not in same form at Ludlow a month later and couple of others make more appeal back from a break. |

1st (1)  (10/1 +29%)Press Your Luck |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Press Your Luck 10/1, Made a successful start to his chase career in a 3-runner Chepstow novice in October but it's been downhill all the way since, including back in this sphere the last twice. | |||
2nd (3)  (6/1 -33%)Forever William |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Forever William 6/1, Placed in a couple of graded juvenile events last term and responded well when narrowly prevailing in a 19f Taunton handicap last month. Couldn't grumble with a 2 lb rise and he's a player upped in trip here with cheekpieces refitted. | |||
3rd (6)  (8/1 +6%)Hasty Parisian |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hasty Parisian 8/1, Did well as a juvenile last season, winning at Sandown and made the frame on several occasions, too. Performed with credit when fourth of 9 back at Sandown in November but that effort is flanked by two lesser displays. | |||
4th (4)  (40/1 -186%)Umndeni |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Umndeni 40/1, Successful at Newton Abbot in August 2021 but absent since finishing down the field in a Newbury handicap later that year. Probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion. | |||
|U| (2)  (1.25/1 +23%)Jet Of Magic |
1.25/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jet Of Magic 1.25/1, Has returned an improved model for new yard this season, following his Hereford reappearance success with a string of solid placed efforts, most recently third in a Grade 3 handicap at Sandown (23.4f, good to soft). Very much the one to beat in calmer waters here. | |||
|PU| (5)  (2.5/1 -11%)Seelotmorebusiness |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Seelotmorebusiness 2.5/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2020 and, following a 15-month absence, he provided his new trainer with the perfect start when landing a 20.7f handicap at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. This is more demanding up 11 lb but he still has low mileage. |

1st (6)  (2.75/1 +61%)My Silver Lining |
2.75/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) My Silver Lining 2.75/1, Impressive winner of a 2m novice hurdle at Lingfield last February and has shown a fair level of ability in 4 starts over fences at up to 21f. Edging down the weights and could be about to take a step forward now that she moves up in trip. | |||
2nd (1)  (3.6/1 +49%)Faustinovick |
3.6/1(+49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Faustinovick 3.6/1, Finally got the job done when opening his account on return at Chepstow (3m, good to soft) in November. Has failed to match that in 2 subsequent appearances, though, and there's an air of vulnerability about him. | |||
3rd (7)  (9/1 +44%)Minella Voucher |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Minella Voucher 9/1, Veteran who completed a hat-trick in September but was pulled up at Taunton when last seen at the end of December. Others preferred. | |||
4th (3)  (3/1 +70%)Great D'Ange |
3/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Great D'Ange 3/1, Back to winning ways when taking 8-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) on penultimate start. However, he folded pretty tamely at Doncaster next time and is hard to warm to on the back of that. | |||
|PU| (5)  (4/1 +27%)Butterwick Brook |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Butterwick Brook 4/1, More miss than hit since landing a Wincanton handicap chase in December 2021, and he will probably find one or two too good once more. | |||
|PU| (2)  (12/1 -60%)Ballinslea Bridge |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ballinslea Bridge 12/1, Runner-up on return at Huntingdon and duly went one better at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in December, ending a losing run of almost 5 years in the process. Unseated rider as the race was starting to take shape back there since and claims granted a clear round this time. |

1st (6)  (7/1 +56%)Caspers Court |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Caspers Court 7/1, Won at Fontwell in June who but found good run of form coming to a halt there last time. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.5/1 +29%)Hititi |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hititi 2.5/1, Ended last season over hurdles on a high, winning handicaps at Fontwell and Exeter. Fair efforts over fences lately and warrants respect back in this discipline. | |||
3rd (8)  (33/1 +18%)Per Vino Veritas |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Per Vino Veritas 33/1, Modest maiden who hasn't been firing of late. Others more persuasive. | |||
4th (5)  (9/1 -20%)Electric Annie |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Electric Annie 9/1, Dual winner over hurdles (at up to 21.3f) last season and fair encouraging start over fences on return at Kempton in November. Respectable effort in that sphere last time. | |||
5th (2)  (5/1 -11%)Copshill Lad |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Copshill Lad 5/1, Runner-up sole outing in Irish point and went one better when readily winning a Stratford bumper in May. Tongue tied and offered plenty to work on starting out over hurdles when third at Exeter. Disappointed since but looks of interest now tackling handicaps. | |||
6th (10)  (4.5/1 +0%)Hard Frost |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hard Frost 4.5/1, Showed fair from on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and improved on previous hurdling efforts when second at Fontwell 12 days ago. Not discounted. | |||
7th (3)  (6/1 +57%)Super Duper Sam |
6/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Super Duper Sam 6/1, Bumper winner who has shown fair form over hurdles. Disappointing last time, though, and hard to make a strong case for despite the first-time tongue strap. | |||
|PU| (1)  (12/1 -167%)De Wanted Warrior |
12/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) De Wanted Warrior 12/1, Bred to stay well and left debut form well behind when third in Chepstow novice. Poor effort since, though, leaving him with a bit to prove on handicap debut. | |||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 +12%)Wearapinkribbon |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wearapinkribbon 22/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish winning hurdler but hasn't done much for present connections. |

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.
