|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1)  (1.25/1 +58%)Son And Sannie |
1.25/1(+58%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Son And Sannie 1.25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020 and was a below-par eighth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (5f), slowly away, when last seen in January. Still, down to a potentially handy mark and capable of a bold show if on a going day. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 -56%)The Defiant |
3.5/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Defiant 3.5/1, Three wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in March. Fourth of 5 in handicap (6/4) at that course (5f, AW) 12 days ago. Best to overlook that run (scoped dirty post race) and he has to enter calculations. | |||
3rd (6)  (16/1 +20%)Amnaa |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amnaa 16/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 12 in handicap (33/1) at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Readily passed over on the back of that display. | |||
4th (3)  (11/1 -69%)Doc Sportello |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Doc Sportello 11/1, 11/1, last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor, but others make more appeal all the same. | |||
5th (5)  (8/1 -14%)Excellent George |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Excellent George 8/1, 40/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 61 days ago. Not the easiest to catch right nowadays, but this return to the minimum trip should help and now 1 lb below last winning mark. | |||
6th (4)  (4/1 -45%)Firenze Rosa |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Firenze Rosa 4/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 7 days ago. Possibilities off the same mark. |

1st (1)  (3.5/1 +13%)Antiphon |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Antiphon 3.5/1, First run since leaving Andrew Balding when respectable third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip off a 2 lb lower mark and he's one for the shortlist. | |||
2nd (4)  (2/1 +27%)Gidwa |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gidwa 2/1, Two wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 69 days ago, well positioned. Up just 2 lb for that and James Doyle booked for this hat-trick bid, but needs to prove that he can continue the good work back on turf. | |||
3rd (2)  (7/1 +61%)Coup De Force |
7/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coup De Force 7/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 16 days ago. Up in trip and likely to find a few too good once more. | |||
4th (9)  (20/1 -100%)Twilight Bay |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Twilight Bay 20/1, 12/1, 9¼ lengths eleventh of 12 to Mary of Modena on turf debut in handicap at this course (5.1f, good) 28 days ago. Plenty to prove on the back of that poor display. | |||
5th (6)  (4/1 +60%)Power Generation |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Power Generation 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, soft). Off 7 months and gelded ahead of this debut for new yard. Claims judged on early-season 2-y-o form when in the care of John Quinn. | |||
6th (3)  (8/1 +27%)Jastar |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jastar 8/1, Eighth of 10 in maiden (12/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW). Off 96 days and moves back up in trip on first run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Others preferred. | |||
7th (7)  (14/1 +30%)Royal Showqueen |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Royal Showqueen 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in nursery (22/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft). Off 6 months and she's hard to warm to. | |||
8th (5)  (16/1 -14%)Alaskan Jewel |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alaskan Jewel 16/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in January. Below form third of 8 in seller there (5.1f, 11/2) 20 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Keatley and cheekpieces back on. Looks vulnerable. |

1st (3)  (3/1 -9%)Tanmawwy |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tanmawwy 3/1, Twice-raced winner. Sixth of 12 in minor event (11/2) at Leicester (7f, soft) 31 days ago, doing too much too soon. This drop back in trip will help and he's an intriguing candidate now pitched into a handicap. | |||
2nd (5)  (12/1 -20%)Spring Bloom |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Spring Bloom 12/1, 12/1, last of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and definite each-way chance if able to reproduce something akin to the pick of last season's form. | |||
3rd (9)  (2.25/1 +32%)Majeski Man |
2.25/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Majeski Man 2.25/1, Two wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 7/4) 12 days ago. 5 lb rise fair enough and while this is more demanding, he needs considering. | |||
4th (10)  (25/1 +24%)Dandys Derriere |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dandys Derriere 25/1, Last of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Hooded for 1st time and needs to bounce back in a major way. | |||
5th (2)  (10/1 +0%)Treacherous |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Treacherous 10/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 18/1) 14 days ago. Should come on for that run and, eased 2 lb and now in a lower-grade handicap, he's accorded respect. | |||
6th (11)  (12/1 -50%)Angel Amadea |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Angel Amadea 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft, 14/1). Off 7 months and down in trip on debut for new yard. | |||
7th (1)  (14/1 -40%)Repartee |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Repartee 14/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f, good, 17/2) 21 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Chance if rediscovering old form. | |||
8th (7)  (25/1 +62%)Bolly Bullet |
25/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bolly Bullet 25/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1). Off 115 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere. | |||
9th (8)  (18/1 -50%)Equitation |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Equitation 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in December. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 10/1) 68 days ago. Others make more appeal on this occasion. | |||
10th (6)  (4/1 +50%)Silent Flame |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Silent Flame 4/1, 20/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. That run will have blown away the cobwebs and she's not discounted in an open-looking race. |

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.
