1st (1)  (3.33/1 +33%)Tallow For Coal |
3.33/1(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tallow For Coal 3.33/1, Point winner who displayed fair form in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles last season. Promising start over fences when third at Newton Abbot last month and the form has been boosted since. Respected. | |||
2nd (3)  (14/1 +30%)Jobsonfire |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jobsonfire 14/1, Won 3 hurdles in early-2020 but failed to reach the same heights in only 3 outings last term and he was beaten a long way out on last month's C&D chase debut after wind surgery. Can only be watched. | |||
3rd (4)  (8.5/1 -21%)Rapid Flight |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rapid Flight 8.5/1, Southwell maiden hurdle winner in May but has posted a couple of disappointing runs in handicaps since, the latter when switched to fences after wind surgery. Something to prove for now. | |||
4th (5)  (16/1 -129%)Ecossais |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ecossais 16/1, Won 3 times at Southwell last season. Unseated early on Wetherby return. Consistent sort who is likely to give his running. | |||
6th (11)  (14/1 -56%)Cardboard Gangster |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Cardboard Gangster 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser, although he wasn't at his best when third of 5 in a 21f hurdle last time. Second in a chase over this trip in Ireland in May. First start over fences for this yard. | |||
|F| (7)  (12/1 -20%)That's The Badger |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) That's The Badger 12/1, Offered some promise over hurdles last season and is bred for chasing. Interesting to see if there's any confidence behind him in the betting on his return from 8 months off. | |||
|F| (2)  (16/1 -33%)The Composeur |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Composeur 16/1, Readily opened his account over fences at Southwell in June but he fell at Uttoxeter the following month and was let down by his jumping when remote fourth at Kempton last month. | |||
|PU| (9)  (1.75/1 +13%)Head On |
1.75/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Head On 1.75/1, Won over C&D on first 2 chase starts and wasted no time bouncing back from a poor run at Perth when eased down to score by 3 lengths at Warwick a week ago. Can defy penalty. | |||
|PU| (6)  (16/1 -14%)Cesar Et Rosalie |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cesar Et Rosalie 16/1, Eased plenty in the weights and finally capitalised when getting on top close home at Bangor (3m) in July. Two lacklustre displays since, though. | |||
|PU| (10)  (22/1 +12%)Carlow Farmer |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Carlow Farmer 22/1, Winning pointer. Pulled up on his chase debut in February but was in the process of showing more, albeit fading in third, when unseating 2 out in 3m Uttoxeter handicap on return. |

4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Mighty Arc 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 15/8, second of 6 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f) 7 months ago. Goes over fences now and not dismissed. | |||
2nd (7)  (2.75/1 +17%)Aki Bomaye |
2.75/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Aki Bomaye 2.75/1, Twice-raced maiden. 5/1, second of 14 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, heavy). Off 8 months and had wind op ahead of chase debut. Considered. | |||
3rd (8)  (12/1 -41%)Wheesht |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Wheesht 12/1, Opened her account for current yard in 20f novice hurdle at Plumpton in March. Point winner who is not taken lightly sent chasing on her seasonal return. | |||
4th (4)  (6.5/1 -44%)Peur De Rien |
6.5/1(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Peur De Rien 6.5/1, Latest win in chase at Kempton in March and creditable third of 8 in 3m handicap chase at Ffos Las 179 days ago. Has won off a break, so he merits consideration. | |||
5th (2)  (7/1 +50%)Gulliver Collonges |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gulliver Collonges 7/1, 28/1, encouraging fifth of 11 in 23f handicap here on debut over fences 23 days ago. Open to progress, so he's well worth a second look. | |||
5th (3)  (10/1 -33%)Rocheston |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rocheston 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. In frame on both his runs over fences, though laboured third of 5 in handicap at Newton Abbot (21f) 144 days ago. Others more persuasive. | |||
7th (9)  (7.5/1 +0%)Palixandre |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Palixandre 7.5/1, Gained breakthrough success in this sphere at Uttoxeter in September. Not disgraced when sixth of 11 at Wetherby 13 days ago, so he's firmly in the mix eased 2 lb. | |||
|PU| (10)  (7/1 +18%)Forget You Not |
7/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Forget You Not 7/1, 25/1, gained his first win in 6-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f) 24 days ago. Can give another good account despite being 4 lb out of the handicap. | |||
|PU| (1)  (25/1 -79%)Battle Of Actium |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Battle Of Actium 25/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 9/2, first run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when last of 4 in handicap chase at Ludlow 22 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do. |

5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fugitif 5.5/1, Left previous efforts behind when landing a gamble on 2m Uttoxeter handicap debut in February, then run best excused in a novice at Hexham. Remains with potential on seasonal/chasing debut. | |||
2nd (1)  (5.5/1 -22%)Across The Line |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Across The Line 5.5/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who shaped better than the result when fifth over C&D on chasing/seasonal debut 23 days ago, not finding much. Should step up on that with tongue tie now applied. | |||
3rd (10)  (8/1 +56%)Shore Shanty |
8/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Shore Shanty 8/1, Made a winning hurdling debut at Ludlow a year ago. Failed to build on that but has had a breathing operation since last seen in March, so not ruled out on chasing bow. | |||
4th (8)  (3.33/1 -33%)File Illico |
3.33/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) File Illico 3.33/1, Winning pointer who left his hurdling form behind when making a winning start over fences in a handicap at Ffos Las in October. Entitled to build on that, so he's a leading player. | |||
6th (4)  (7/1 +22%)Tango Boy |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tango Boy 7/1, Bumper winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles and is bred to take to chasing. Hard to know if he'll be fully tuned up for his seasonal debut, though. | |||
|PU| (3)  (6.5/1 +35%)Twominutes Turkish |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Twominutes Turkish 6.5/1, Left bumper form behind when making successful hurdles debut/reappearance at Fakenham last October. Form tailed off towards end of the season but could bounce back freshened up and switched to fences. | |||
|PU| (6)  (7.5/1 -36%)Makka Pakka |
7.5/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Makka Pakka 7.5/1, Fair ex-Irish hurdler who has made a bright start to his chasing career, placed at Stratford the last twice. Should settle better down in trip, so obvious claims. | |||
|PU| (5)  (10/1 -25%)Pencreek |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pencreek 10/1, Opened his account over hurdle at Bangor in August and has remained in form since, albeit not looking a natural on chasing bow in handicap at Kempton last time. |

3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mot A Mot 3/1, Good pedigree and left debut form behind when landing a bumper in convincing fashion at Chepstow despite tack problems. Well held in Grade 2 at Aintree final start but respected now hurdling. | |||
2nd (1)  (8/1 -23%)Anyharminasking |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Anyharminasking 8/1, Bought for €145,000 after winning sole start in Irish points in April and shaped as if better for the run when fourth on hurdles bow at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago. Bound to improve. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.2/1 +26%)Black Poppy |
1.2/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Black Poppy 1.2/1, Made a winning debut in a Warwick bumper in March. In the process of running well when departing 2 out on hurdling bow at Bangor on return, set for a clear second. Big player. | |||
6th (5)  (150/1 -88%)Francisco Bay |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Francisco Bay 150/1, Fair Flat winner but well held both starts over hurdles last month. | |||

400/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tre A Peni 400/1, Bred to have ability but there's been no sign of it in a brace of bumpers/novice hurdle. | |||
|PU| (3)  (22/1 -38%)Earth Star |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Earth Star 22/1, €52,000 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Promising fifth in bumper at Wincanton on debut on Boxing Day. Reportedly bled when pulled up next time. Remains with potential now hurdling on return. Hooded. |

4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) What A Glance 4/1, Consistent rather than progressive for Oliver Sherwood but mark has at least eased again. Off 5 months. | |||
2nd (8)  (25/1 -56%)Templier |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Templier 25/1, Won over fences in 2019 but more recent efforts have been disappointing, including on belated return to the Flat in September. | |||
3rd (2)  (7.5/1 -15%)Megaudais Speed |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Megaudais Speed 7.5/1, Point winner who improved for the switch to positive tactics when readily making all at Chepstow in April. Shaped as if needing run there on return last month. Better expected now. | |||
4th (9)  (5.5/1 +61%)Ulysses |
5.5/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ulysses 5.5/1, Gained a first win since 2019 in C&D handicap in July but wasn't in the same form at Huntingdon next 2 starts. Hard to predict. | |||

7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Largy Mouth 7/1, Patchy form for Brian Ellison and made disappointing start for this yard at Stratford 2 weeks ago. Becoming expensive to follow. | |||

25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Finisher 25/1, Winner at Doncaster (2m) in January but well held 2 of next 3 starts. Off 6 months. | |||

2.5/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hello Sunshine 2.5/1, Shaped well when third in a bumper. Fitted with a tongue strap and easily best effort over hurdles when winning at Uttoxeter on second start in a handicap in May. May do better again. | |||

7.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Some Spin 7.5/1, Irish maiden hurdle winner last year but has struggled over fences this season. Becoming well handicapped but bit to prove back over hurdles all the same. Change of headgear. | |||
|PU| (1)  (12/1 +40%)Sir Jack West |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sir Jack West 12/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles in Ireland for Ellmarie Holden but well held on yard debut here (23f) on return. Makes handicap hurdle debut. |

2nd (7)  (0.62/1 +69%)Thundersockssundae |
0.62/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thundersockssundae 0.62/1, Plenty of promise sole start in bumpers and some promise thereafter over hurdles without threatening last term. Returns for yard going well and firm player with improvement not ruled out. | |||
3rd (9)  (28/1 -40%)True Thoughts |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) True Thoughts 28/1, Caused a surprise when opening hurdles account at Wincanton (19.7f) in November 2019. More miss than hit since and likely best watched on back of near 12-month absence re-united with Laura Young. | |||
4th (5)  (7/1 +36%)Russian Service |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Russian Service 7/1, Fair hurdler who ran well on back of 5 months off when second in a C&D handicap in September. Poor effort back over fences followed but bounce back not ruled out back hurdling. | |||

6.5/1(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Floy Joy 6.5/1, Jumpers' bumper winner who ended last season with a good second from this mark at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in April. Seemingly not 100% on return at Uttoxeter and not one to write off. | |||
6th (1)  (11/1 -175%)Catbird Seat |
11/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Catbird Seat 11/1, Fair winner on Flat and not disgraced when fourth on his qualifying run over hurdles in a Warwck novice (2m) in September. WIll need to jump better now handicapping but in good hands. Claims. | |||
7th (8)  (40/1 -21%)Shimba Hills |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shimba Hills 40/1, Dual handicap winner during 2019/20 campaign but well held all 3 starts last season. Now below last winning mark but others appeal more on return to action following a wind op. | |||
|PU| (6)  (66/1 -450%)Avithos |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Avithos 66/1, Veteran mare who arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Fakenham and Sedgefield (3m3f) earlier this year. 6 lb higher on return though, and she has often needed her first run of the campaign. |

7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ginger Du Val 7.5/1, Two bumper wins in France and gained reward for her consistency with victory in 2m maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot in September. Not in same form under a penalty at Warwick but type to bounce back. | |||
(12)  (16/1 +11%)Lightning Blue |
16/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lightning Blue 16/1, Poor maiden hurdler who was possibly flattered when 6¾ lengths last of 5 in claimer at Huntingdon 12 days ago. More realistic chance now back in handicap company. | |||
(8)  (18/1 +10%)Dolly McQueen |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dolly McQueen 18/1, Has just a fibresand Flat maiden win to her name, but hasn't been disgraced on her last 2 outings over obstacles. | |||

7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lime Drop 7/1, Low-mileage sort who shaped better than the bare result after 7 months off when sixth of 15 in 2m handicap hurdle at Chepstow 17 days ago. Remains with potential and not one to write off. | |||
2nd (3)  (50/1 -52%)Lady Malarkey |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lady Malarkey 50/1, Comfortably held in bumpers/over hurdles so far but will hold more chance now switching to handicaps. Hooded. | |||

3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Fashion Nova 3/1, £42,000 buy after Irish point win. Has yet to get near the level she showed in bumpers over hurdles but should do better now handicapping following wind surgery. | |||
4th (10)  (18/1 +0%)Princess Midnight |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Princess Midnight 18/1, Dual chase winner but not the most consistent and was below form back over hurdles at Chepstow 17 days ago, though probably needed the run after 6 months off. | |||
5th (4)  (33/1 -18%)Colours Of My Life |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Colours Of My Life 33/1, Failed to go on in three runs over hurdles for Alan King last term and hasn't fared much better both starts for Dan Skelton this autumn. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time. | |||

0.91/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tibbie Dunbar 0.91/1, Modest maiden on Flat who has taken well to hurdling, showing much-improved form to get off the mark on Exeter handicap debut (16.7f) 10 days ago, well on top finish. Looks well in under a penalty. | |||

80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Aide Memoire 80/1, Well held all 3 starts on the Flat and has yet to threaten over hurdles, including when pulled up on handicap debut last time. | |||
|F| (5)  (9/1 +25%)Karannelle |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Karannelle 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2019, and only tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft, 5/1) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs to bounce back. | |||

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.
