2/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Western Writer 2/1, Promising individual who got off the mark in a 7f maiden at Chelmsford in June.

5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sir Min 5.5/1, Steady progress on first 3 starts this season but possibly found longer ground/ground against when only ninth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Can get back on track with leading claimer aboard. | |||
1st (6)  (1.88/1 +32%)Islay Of Anglesey |
1.88/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Islay Of Anglesey 1.88/1, No better than mid-field in a trio of maidens but shaped well when seventh at Chelmsford (7f) last time, finishing with running left after rider dropped whip.

2nd (9)  (7.5/1 +70%)Bunker Bay |

11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) State Secretary 11/1, Good effort over C&D on penultimate outing but failed to build on that when last of 8 in similar race (9/1, good to soft) 22 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Claims if top claimer helps him regain peak form. | |||
4th (7)  (2.5/1 +9%)Rogue Star |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rogue Star 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Again shaped well when fourth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Sandown (7f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish having been unsuited by way race developed. Remains one to be interested in. | |||
5th (1)  (33/1 -136%)Asdaa |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Asdaa 33/1, Form tailed off towards end of last season and showed little promise on return when last of 8 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Well treated on best form but hard to have confidence in. | |||

28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Social Contact 28/1, Won Southwell minor event on final start for Roger Varian but failed to beat a rival in pair of handicap starts for Chelsea Banham and is best watched having made another swift move to new yard. | |||

6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cuban Beat 6/1, Thrice-raced winner. 11/8, first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when second of 5 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, good) 30 days ago, though didn't convince with his finishing effort.

10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Yester 10/1, Best effort this year when third in Leopardstown maiden in May.

6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cubanista 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Credit efforts both starts this season, fourth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 7/2) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Still low mileage and merits consideration. | |||
2nd (7)  (18/1 +28%)Heer's Sadie |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Heer's Sadie 18/1, Course winner. Last of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (6f) 57 days ago. Shaped as if in need of run on return and is now below last winning mark, but others remain more persuasive. | |||
3rd (2)  (6/1 +8%)Must Be Royale |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Must Be Royale 6/1, Good second over C&D on return and confirmed that form when third at Kempton earlier this month. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 20 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Not taken lightly. | |||
4th (5)  (3.5/1 +36%)Lelabad |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lelabad 3.5/1, Beaten only a nose in C&D handicap on return and ran respectably when fifth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Claims. | |||

6th (8)  (14/1 -27%)Night Traveller |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Night Traveller 14/1, Disappointed on first run since leaving Chelsea Banham when fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 16 days ago. Probably needs bit more respite for handicapper. | |||
7th (4)  (25/1 -56%)Hi Ho Silver |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hi Ho Silver 25/1, C&D winner. Respectable 6½ lengths third of 9 to Epic Express in handicap (16/1) on return at this C&D (good to firm) 65 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. | |||
8th (3)  (40/1 -300%)Smitten |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Smitten 40/1, Only modest form in a trio of maidens last year for P. & F. Monfort. Needs to have found significant improvement to defy this mark on stable/handicap debut. | |||
9th (1)  (14/1 +13%)Epic Express |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Epic Express 14/1, Won over C&D in April but has struggled from higher marks both starts since and will likely need a couple of these to falter. | |||
10th (12)  (7/1 -75%)Clement Danes |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Clement Danes 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, offered something to work on third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago.

11th (11)  (66/1 -65%)Kraka |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Kraka 66/1, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Ended last year out of sorts and looks tough to fancy with visor back on. | |||

40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Silver Kitten 40/1, C&D winner ended last season out of sorts and has ran poorly all 3 starts this term, so has it all to prove now, | |||

2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ubahha 2.25/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs but ran creditably from a poor position when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm, 4/1) 19 days ago. Not long with this yard and could do better. | |||
2nd (1)  (12/1 -33%)Shamshon |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shamshon 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Close up third at Newmarket on penultimate start and did too much too soon at Brighton last time, so not ruled out of bouncing back. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.5/1 +42%)Mr Fayez |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mr Fayez 3.5/1, In frame 3 times already this season. 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly. | |||

8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Iesha 8/1, Largely consistent early this year but form has tailed off on last 2 outings. Definite possibilites from this mark but needs to return to form. | |||

14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Man On A Mission 14/1, Winner at Lingfield in April. Not at same level when fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 70 days ago and probably needs to improve to win from new mark. | |||

22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Swell Song 22/1, Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Again made little impact when fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good, 10/1) 30 days ago. Has work to do. | |||

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.
