1st (7) Chef De Troupe (14/1 +58%)
Chef De Troupe

14/1(+58%)
(7) Chef De Troupe 14/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 33/1) 33 days ago. Now has a fair bit to prove.
Popped up over C&D this time last year but is getting on and lacks consistency now.
2
2nd (1) Kitten's Dream (10/1 +38%)
Kitten's Dream

10/1(+38%)
(1) Kitten's Dream 10/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. 28/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (21.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Back down in trip and others are more persuasive.
Enjoyed a consistent winter but has gone off the boil; some way down the pecking order.
3
3rd (5) Forgetmenotblue (2.75/1 +50%)
Forgetmenotblue

2.75/1(+50%)
(5) Forgetmenotblue 2.75/1, Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft, 10/3) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and looks vulnerable for win purposes.
Has been found another weak race but this trip looked to stretch him at Newcastle in March.
4
4th (4) Balgowan (7.5/1 -114%)
Balgowan

7.5/1(-114%)
(4) Balgowan 7.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft, 10/1) 70 days ago. Decent fourth of 10 latest start in this sphere at Southwell (1½m) in January and 2 lb lower now, plus he has the assistance of top amateur Sam Walker.
The booking of Simon Walker will draw some in but stamina is far from assured.
5th
5th (13) Steel Helmet (9/1 +50%)
Steel Helmet

9/1(+50%)
(13) Steel Helmet 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 16/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Others make greater appeal.
Opposed on balance of recent form.
6th
6th (12) Quiet Thunder (12/1 +40%)
Quiet Thunder

12/1(+40%)
(12) Quiet Thunder 12/1, 40/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 148 days ago. Off 148 days and eyeshields on 1st time here. Latest effort in this sphere was poor but she wouldn't be without hope if on a going day.
Wildly inconsistent mare who's been off since pulled up over hurdles late last year.
7th
7th (3) Fen Tiger (5.5/1 +0%)
Fen Tiger

5.5/1(+0%)
(3) Fen Tiger 5.5/1, Latest win at Leicester in October. 6/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. AW record of 0-9 is off-putting (well held sole previous visit to this course).
Three wins last year came on slow turf over 1m4f and he's 0-9 on the AW; poor comeback.
8th
8th (6) Ghostly (4/1 +38%)
Ghostly

4/1(+38%)
(6) Ghostly 4/1, Course winner. Respectable third of 12 in handicap under Nicola Thornton at this course (14f, 15/2) 25 days ago. Length adrift of the second Tribal Commander on that occasion but did well under the circumstances and he's a key player.
Wasn't best suited by the way the race panned out last time and goes on the shortlist.
9th
9th (8) Smart Connection (150/1 +0%)
Smart Connection

150/1(+0%)
(8) Smart Connection 150/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 200/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 19 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.
Has struggled badly under both codes since joining this yard.
10th
10th (11) Vision Clear (150/1 -200%)
Vision Clear

150/1(-200%)
(11) Vision Clear 150/1, 250/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (14f) 25 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Visored for 1st time. Readily passed over.
Fair in his younger days but isn't up to much now; switches to a first-time visor.
11th
11th (10) Henry The Fifth (7/1 +56%)
Henry The Fifth

7/1(+56%)
(10) Henry The Fifth 7/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 56 days ago. Likley to find a few too good once more.
Has undergone wind surgery; generally consistent and the handicapper's giving him a chance.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, but 4/1 (6) GHOSTLY seems to be a strong contender. Another horse that could potentially place is 7.5/1 (4) BALGOWAN, who has shown improvement in recent races and has the assistance of a top amateur jockey. For third place, it could be a toss-up between 10/1 (1) KITTEN'S DREAM, who has a course win under their belt, and 12/1 (12) QUIET THUNDER, who has the potential to surprise if she is having a good day.

Forgetmenotblue has slipped back to a fair mark and she can go well for the in-form Karl Burke yard, while Fen Tiger should strip fitter for his return at Thirsk last month and has claims on the pick of his form. However, preference is for TRIBAL COMMANDER, a C&D winner who ran well for second over 1m6f here off this mark on his reappearance and should appreciate the drop back in trip.

GHOSTLY encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when finishing a place adrift of Tribal Commander over 1¾m here last month and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o may well emerge on top. The selection shaped that day as though he would be suited by stepping back up to this trip. With Simon Walker in the hot-seat, Balgowan is third choice and King Charles also merits consideration.

Unsuited by the way the race panned out here last time, GHOSTLY can turn things round with Tribal Commander.

1st (3) Chriszoff (2.5/1 +17%)
Chriszoff

2.5/1(+17%)
(3) Chriszoff 2.5/1, Promising individual. 9/1, fifth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut 49 days ago, finishing well. That form has taken some knocks since but he's open to improvement.
Showed enough on his Kempton debut to suggest he can play a part here; shortlisted.
2
2nd (8) Cue's Beau (1.88/1 +0%)
Cue's Beau

1.88/1(+0%)
(8) Cue's Beau 1.88/1, Promising type. Second of 7 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 5/4) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Stepping up to this trip may help unlock some improvement and she's very much the one to beat.
Needs to settle up from 7f on her Tapeta debut but sets the standard on either effort.
3
3rd (1) Al Tarfa (66/1 -65%)
Al Tarfa

66/1(-65%)
(1) Al Tarfa 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut. Off 8 months and moves up in trip here with a first-time hood enlisted. Yard also saddles newcomer Paradise Row.
Well held in one start last summer after fluffing the start; has since been gelded.
4
4th (11) Paradise Row (40/1 -21%)
Paradise Row

40/1(-21%)
(11) Paradise Row 40/1, £12,000 yearling, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to 7f-1¼m winner Year of The Dragon and 1¼m winner Miao Miao. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run.
Half-sister to the yard's Year Of The Dragon; trainer also saddles Al Tarfa; market useful.
5th
5th (4) Melwood Boy (9/1 -20%)
Melwood Boy

9/1(-20%)
(4) Melwood Boy 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Probably worth another chance back on the AW (promise on first 3 starts at Newcastle/Southwell) and now tried in blinkers.
Exposed now having bombed on his turf/handicap debut; headgear goes on today.
6th
6th (5) Owners Dream (22/1 -38%)
Owners Dream

22/1(-38%)
(5) Owners Dream 22/1, 25,000 gns yearling, Time Test colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 11f-2m winner Clearance and 11.6f winner Far Too Beautiful. Dam useful 1¼m-2¼m winner. Needs a second look in the betting.
Newcomer; it's possible he'll want more of a test in due course.
7th
7th (10) Brigitte (100/1 -203%)
Brigitte

100/1(-203%)
(10) Brigitte 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 15 days ago. Another who will likely come into her own when going down the handicap route further down the line.
Easy to back when beaten some way on her Southwell debut a fortnight ago.
8th
8th (9) Third Batch (3.5/1 +42%)
Third Batch

3.5/1(+42%)
(9) Third Batch 3.5/1, Fair filly. Fourth of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 56 days ago. Live each-way chance but probably vulnerable from a win perspective.
Will be happier back down in trip; is starting to look exposed now though.
9th
9th (12) Savannah Song (200/1 -100%)
Savannah Song

200/1(-100%)
(12) Savannah Song 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Best to look elsewhere.
Blew the start when well beaten at a big price on her debut two weeks ago.
10th
10th (7) C'mon Ellie (250/1 -150%)
C'mon Ellie

250/1(-150%)
(7) C'mon Ellie 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.
Big price for her Southwell debut two weeks ago, when beaten a long way after a slow start.
11th
11th (2) Beau Vintage (7/1 +7%)
Beau Vintage

7/1(+7%)
(2) Beau Vintage 7/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/8, sixth of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut in September. Gelded since and it would be no surprise were he to improve with that run under his belt and this stiffer test likely to be in his favour.
All the rage ahead of his Chelmsford debut last autumn but finished well held; been gelded.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

1st: 1.88/1 (8) CUE'S BEAU 2nd: 7/1 (2) BEAU VINTAGE 3rd: 2.5/1 (3) CHRISZOFF

CUE'S BEAU let her supporters down when beaten half a length at Chelmsford last month, but she kept on well that day to suggest the added furlong now may see her get off the mark at the third attempt. Third Batch was also a beaten favourite when only fourth at Lingfield last time but that was over further and he can get involved now dropped back in trip, while Chriszoff and Brigitte are potential improvers who might get into the mix where it matters.

Ready preference is for CUE'S BEAU, who again found just one too good in a Chelmsford maiden last time. She wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Chriszoff shaped with promise on his introduction at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of another likely improver in Beau Vintage. Melwood Boy and Third Batch both have claims on form but they seemingly lack the scope of the aforementioned trio.

Beau Vintage is interesting, but preference is for CHRISZOFF, who shaped nicely at Kempton in a race that didn't pan out ideally.

1st (4) Man Made Of Smoke (3.5/1 -17%)
Man Made Of Smoke

3.5/1(-17%)
(4) Man Made Of Smoke 3.5/1, Posted best effort for some time when second of 11 in handicap over C&D 36 days ago, slowly away. 2 lb rise fair and holds strong claims.
Still to win after 19 starts; ran to his best over C&D latest but has been nudged up 2lb.
2
2nd (8) Bailar Contigo (7.5/1 -67%)
Bailar Contigo

7.5/1(-67%)
(8) Bailar Contigo 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Worth a try at this longer trip and not out of things on tapeta debut.
This stiffer test should suit on pedigree; is another in here likely capable of better.
3
3rd (5) Cantalupo Bella (20/1 -11%)
Cantalupo Bella

20/1(-11%)
(5) Cantalupo Bella 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, twelfth of 13 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Improvement needed on handicap debut.
This is far more realistic now handicapping off a lowly mark; watch the market.
4
4th (6) Stolen Encounter (7.5/1 -36%)
Stolen Encounter

7.5/1(-36%)
(6) Stolen Encounter 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 74 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Plenty to find on form.
Starts handicap life at a lowly level in first-time headgear; market will tell a tale.
5th
5th (3) Zakram (3.33/1 +26%)
Zakram

3.33/1(+26%)
(3) Zakram 3.33/1, Largely reliable as a juvenile but yet to fire in either start this year and hopes of return to form may rest on step up in trip.
Run poorly in two starts back; this is the furthest he's been and he has it to prove now.
6th
6th (1) Schumann (5/1 +29%)
Schumann

5/1(+29%)
(1) Schumann 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 26 days ago. Others preferred.
This is weaker than Bath and he can't be ruled out going up in distance again.
|PU|
|PU| (2) Lillistar (3/1 +54%)
Lillistar

3/1(+54%)
(2) Lillistar 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 75 days ago. Better expected now upped in trip for handicap bow.
Well held in three 7f runs over the winter, and the market will be the best guide.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 3.5/1 (4) MAN MADE OF SMOKE and 7.5/1 (8) BAILAR CONTIGO seem to have the strongest claims. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the top three horses would be: 1) 3.5/1 (4) MAN MADE OF SMOKE 2) 7.5/1 (8) BAILAR CONTIGO 3) 3/1 (2) LILLISTAR (as the summary suggests improvement is expected now that the horse is upped in trip for its handicap debut)

Man Made Of Smoke could go well after his second over C&D in late March, but he is yet to win after 20 starts and has an added 2lb from the handicapper. ZAKRAM has looked all at sea on both starts this season but they were on soft ground and his best form has been on the all-weather, including a win at Lingfield last year. He could surprise if back to his best, with Stolen Encounter an interesting alternative if the cheekpieces bring about improvement.

This can go to MAN MADE OF SMOKE, who posted his best effort of the year when runner-up over C&D last time and remains fairly treated. Lillistar and Bailar Contigo can also make their presence felt.

Several dark ones in here from likely yards. The market will help sort things out, with BAILAR CONTIGO given the nod as things stand.

(1) Glory And Honour 1.88/1, Returned to form when third of 11 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 8 days ago, running on. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces reapplied. Likely contender.
Bounced back to form here last week; smaller field back down in trip may not be ideal.

Every chance he gets his own way again today and he should go well in that case.

This Ones For Fred

3/1(+25%)
(2) This Ones For Fred 3/1, Course winner on debut for Alan King back in 2021 but not added to that victory and below form under both codes this year. Since rejoined David Evans and worth monitoring in the market..
Two wins both came fresh and perhaps the latest change of scenery will do the trick.

0-14 on the Flat, with six defeats at 4-1 or shorter; would want to see some support.
5th
5th (4) Edinburgh Rock (18/1 -125%)

(4) Edinburgh Rock 18/1, Fifth of 8 in juvenile hurdle (50/1) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 93 days ago. Off 93 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Still looking for first success under either code.
Has struggled for this yard; cheekpieces are given a go back from a three-month break.
6th
6th (6) Cirrus (50/1 -52%)
Cirrus

50/1(-52%)
(6) Cirrus 50/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, good, 18/1) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor on last Flat run.
Longstanding maiden under both codes who's never been this far on the Flat.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (3) LAWMANS BLIS and 1.88/1 (1) GLORY AND HONOUR are likely contenders for 1st and 2nd place. For 3rd place, it could be either 3/1 (2) THIS ONES FOR FRED or 3.33/1 (5) EAGLE'S REALM depending on their performance and market support.

Glory And Honour was arguably an unfortunate loser having been denied a clear run over an extended 2m here eight days ago. He merits respect today, though the drop in trip isn't certain to be of benefit and, with that in mind, a chance can be taken on THIS ONES FOR FRED. Now back in the care of David Evans having left the Alan King team, he's on a competitive mark and is likely to appreciate this test of stamina. Lawmans Blis heads the remainder.

EAGLE'S REALM won a couple of races over timber last summer and remains capable of better on Flat. He gets the nod. Glory And Honour rates the chief threat.

This could become tactical and LAWMANS BLIS, who usually comes to hand early, is taken to build on his recent C&D third.

(4) First Of May 1.4/1, Twice-raced winner. 7/2, won 9-runner minor event at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in December. That form is probably fair at best but she's promising nonetheless and mark for this handicap debut doesn't look at all harsh.

Tongue tied all starts; best form over C&D in October; worth another chance back here.

Marginal C&D winner in March; lesser AW runs since; winning return to 5f last month.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has both positive and negative attributes mentioned. However, 2.75/1 (1) FULL PRIME seems to have a good track record and has recently won a handicap race at Kempton. She also has experience on the track's Tapeta surface, which could give her an advantage over some of the other horses. 7.5/1 (2) LADY NAGIN has also won two of her last three starts over 6f at Southwell and could be a contender. 7.5/1 (6) ALL IN THE HIPS has won two races this year and had a career best performance in her last start. However, she is carrying a 2lb higher weight in this race, which could affect her performance.

FULL PRIME arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Kempton. The latest of those came in a warm class 4 event and the daughter of Mehmas would appear to hold leading claims again, though the switch to Tapeta would be a slight query. That shouldn't faze All In The Hips, who kept on determinedly to justify favouritism at Windsor, while others to note include Lady Nagin and First Of May.

The unexposed FIRST OF MAY showed plenty of promise in two starts at the backend of last year and, with the prospect of further progress now switched to handicap company off a potentially handy mark, she could be the answer. Full Prime has been nudged up just 2 lb for her narrow success at Kempton a fortnight ago and won't go down without a fight in her hat-trick bid, while All In The Hips added to her C&D success in March when scoring at Windsor recently and she is also accorded respect.

Although lacking a recent run FIRST OF MAY made a good impression on her final 2yo start and looks the type to do better this year.

(4) Alainn Tu 1.5/1, 10/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) 2 days ago but more will be needed if she's to open her account back on the AW.

(6) Ginny Jo 18/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 12/1) 75 days ago, faring best of those held up. Record stands at 0-10 and she looks vulnerable.

Deira Star

7/1(-75%)
(1) Deira Star 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 16 days ago. Down 2 lb and should make her presence felt.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (5) MUCKY MULCONRY and 3.5/1 (2) TURBO TIGER seem to be the strongest contenders as they both have recent good performances in handicaps and favorable conditions. 4/1 (4) ALAINN TU and 4/1 (1) DEIRA STAR have also shown promise but may need to improve further to win. 12/1 (6) GINNY JO and 25/1 (3) BODEGA NIGHTS seem to have less favorable chances. However, as an AI language model, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of my predictions.

TURBO TIGER filled second place over 5f at this venue on Saturday and the step back up in trip could help him to go one better here. Mucky Mulconry made the frame in a similar event at Lingfield last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Deira Star edges out Ginny Jo to be the pick of the remainder.

A tardy start proved costly for MUCKY MULCONRY at Lingfield last month and, provided he's sharper off the blocks this time, he will have every chance off the same mark. Turbo Tiger responded well to the first-time visor when runner-up over 5f here recently and will be a threat if performing to a similar level back at this trip. He is second choice ahead of Deira Star.

Six maidens go to war and the vote goes to the ex-Irish MUCKY MULCONRY, who's shaped much better in two runs for his new yard.

Brasil Power

1.1/1(+56%)
(1) Brasil Power 1.1/1, Fairly useful in 2021, winning final outing for this yard at Kempton. Made solid start for Joseph O'Brien but disappointed thereafter and no improvement on sole run for Adrian Murray in September. Since rejoined George Boughey and worth check in market. Tongue strap back on. Gelded since last seen.
Gelded since last seen seven months ago, and market confidence would look significant.

Sharvara

4.5/1(-80%)
(3) Sharvara 4.5/1, Very good second of 6 in C&D handicap in March, needing stronger gallop. Not in same form at Chelmsford since but must enter calculations.
Pulled hard over 1m latest; March's clear second over C&D gives him every chance.

Plumette

(6) Plumette 3/1, Below par the last twice but has scored 3 times over this C&D and is only 1 lb above his last winning mark. Respected.
Five-time course winner who stays further and wants a good test over this trip; consistent.

Asadjumeirah

5/1(-43%)
(4) Asadjumeirah 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, below form fifth of 15 in handicap at Ripon (6f, soft) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Wins have all come in sprints; well handicapped but today's small field may not be ideal.

Rebel Redemption

25/1(+0%)
(7) Rebel Redemption 25/1, Course winner. Failed to back up previous effort when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 9/1) 25 days ago. Others preferred.
Wildly inconsistent; often makes the running and has possibilities if allowed his own way.
LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 3.33/1 (6) PLUMETTE is likely to do well as they have previously won five times on the course and have scored three times over the current distance. Although they have been below par in their last two outings, they are only slightly above their last winning mark and are considered a consistent performer. 2.5/1 (3) SHARVARA also has a good chance as they had a very good second place finish in a C&D handicap in March and, although not in the same form in their last outing, are still considered for the running. The other horses mentioned in the summary have less favorable characteristics or are not in their best form, but it ultimately depends on the specific race and competition.

SHARVARA's best recent effort came when runner-up over C&D on his penultimate start and the four-year-old, who didn't get the rub of the green throughout that contest, gets the vote to bounce back from a underwhelming display at Chelmsford. Asadjumeirah has been running consistently well of late and he is likely to enter calculations along with Plumette, who has won twice here this year.

Another chance is given to SHARVARA, who was disappointing last time but had posted a personal best here previously and remains on a fair mark. Plumette is feared most in a tricky-looking contest.

Following a disappointing 2022, BRASIL POWER (nap) is nicely handicapped back with his former yard. Sharvara is also well treated.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
