3.5/1(-27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Apache Spark 3.5/1, Fair maiden. 6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains relatively early days from a handicapping perspective and she may yet have more to offer. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +10%)Ignac Lamar |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ignac Lamar 2.25/1, Course winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 12 days ago, leading under pressure final 1f and keeping on well. Shortlist material. | |||

22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Democracy Dilemma 22/1, 25/1, last of 6 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago, racing freely and weakening 2f out. Mark continues to ease but others make greater appeal now stepping up to 7f. | |||

18/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Portelet Bay 18/1, Latest win at Catterick in September. However, form has gone the wrong way since, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 3 days ago. Has enough to prove at present. | |||

28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Red Alert 28/1, Course winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. After a week off, possibly found race coming too soon when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago. Successful on only previous outing at 7f. | |||

4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bungle Bay 4.5/1, Course winner (6.1f) at the beginning of the month. 6/1, not seen to best effect when sixth of 12 in amateurs handicap at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago, stumbling start. Could bounce back. | |||

3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Calcutta Dream 3/1, Won at Chelmsford early this month before quickly getting back to winning ways and producing a career-best to score in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously. | |||
3rd (9)  (11/1 +21%)Scarborough Castle |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Scarborough Castle 11/1, C&D winner. Looked slightly rusty 8-month break and wasn't seen to best effect when 8¼ lengths ninth of 12 to Cicely in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 31 days ago. Holds claims on last winter's efforts. | |||
4th (13)  (3/1 +54%)Trusty Scout |

10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Carney 10/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. Good 2¼ lengths third of 8 to City Escape in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, running on late. Enters calculations. | |||

40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cool Vixen 40/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. 7/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at same course (8f) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give good account without posing serious threat to principals. | |||
11th (8)  (100/1 -100%)Endofastorm |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Endofastorm 100/1, Sprang 125/1 surprise to get off mark at Newcastle in January. Seventh of 9 in handicap (14/1) there (8f) 10 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form with her success remaining a clear standout performance. |

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.
