Filly Foden
3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(4) Filly Foden 10/3, Ran close to form when making plenty of use of the running in a 2l third in a handicap at Lingfield on her most recent start. Effective at 5f and 6f, she goes well from the front and shows a good attitude.
Exposed 15-race maiden; should run her race but vulnerable to improvers.

(2) Blue Deveron 4/1, 7,000gns breeze-up purchase by Blue Point; half-brother to Lamar, effective 6-9f and a Listed winner; dam smart at 7f as a 2yo; may ideally want further than this but could easily have a say on debut.
14th foal with nine winning siblings; dam a useful 7f winner; a newcomer of note.

(6) Pure Passion 16/1, Made a fair debut when making plenty of use of the running and finishing a 5l fourth in a maiden at Chelmsford. Effective at 5f on the all-weather and should make normal improvement with that experience.
Showed speed before weakening in the final furlong on debut (5f); open to improvement.

13/8(-36%)
(1) Arlo's Girl 13/8, Showed plenty of speed and only had to be pushed out when a 3l winner in a novice at Lingfield on debut. Suited by 5f on the all-weather, she looks a very sharp sort and there appears to be more to come.
Impressive at Lingfield on debut last August (5f); open to improvement; strong claims.

(7) Skip To Victory 11/4, 12,500gns Tasleet filly; half-sister to Rogue Enforcer, useful at 5f as a 2yo; dam moderate at 5f; trainer in form and could have a say on debut.
12,500gns yearling; half-sister to a Listed winner out of a 5f AW winner; market to guide.

66/1(-200%)
(5) Sirhana 66/1, Showed similar form to her debut when beaten 6 1/2l in a novice here last time. Speedily bred, she looks the type to do better once moving into handicap company.
Modest form in two 6f runs this winter; dropping to 5f not enough to tempt.

ARLO'S GIRL showed professionalism beyond her experience when she comfortably made a winning debut at Lingfield last August. The form was boosted by the runner-up winning her next start and the potentially progressive daughter of Harry Angel appeals the most in this weaker-looking assignment. Filly Foden can play a strong supporting role, while Blue Deveron has something to offer on paper and is an interesting newcomer to monitor in the betting.

Blue Deveron is a newcomer of note but ARLO'S GIRL looked promising on last summer's debut and she can defy her penalty.

Belaya River
7
7/1(+22%)
(1) Belaya River 7/1, The yard won this race last year and he had every chance when running to form, finishing fourth beaten 11l in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 2m and has a chance in a modest contest.
Has shown enough on his two hurdle starts to suggest he could be involved today.

(8) Whatsgoingonmarvin 13/2, Made mistakes and found little when well beaten on his modest debut in a juvenile hurdle at Kempton behind classy rival. A flat winner, but his jumping needs to improve significantly over hurdles.
Progressive handicapper on the Flat but very disappointing on his hurdle/stable debut.

No impact when fourth on first two starts and pulled up at 80-1 at Wetherby last Thursday.

(3) Glenridding 33/1, Outpaced but improved from his debut when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Hood is applied for the first time and he should come on for that run, though he looks more one for handicaps.
Fifth at Musselburgh on second hurdle start and has each-way chance in a first-time hood.

(10) Prettylady 80/1, Ran to form when beaten 7l in a 3yo race at Longchamp last time. Showed modest form on Flat in France and probably best watched on hurdle debut.
Some ability on the Flat in France but 0-6 in that code; may be vulnerable on hurdle debut.

(7) Square D'alboni 4/6, Bit green under pressure but made a very promising debut when finishing 7 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m, useful on the Flat where he won at Listed level in France and there should be more to come for a top yard.
Third at Newbury on hurdle debut; top yard does very well at this course; leading claims.

(6) Some Boy Me 150/1, Pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby last time. Trained by a leading course handler and stays 11f on the Flat, but has modest flat form and has yet to convince with his stamina over hurdles.
Big odds when tailed off/pulled up last month on his first two hurdle starts.

16/1(-78%)
(4) Hellion 16/1, Green and perhaps a touch unwilling under pressure when 1/4l third in a novice at Bath on his most recent run. Returning from a break and needs to improve on that effort.
Displayed ability on both Flat starts and not ruled out on hurdle/stable debut.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

SQUARE D'ALBONI shaped with a fair amount of promise on his hurdling debut when third to Fire Warning at Newbury and that experience will only benefit him now competing against his own age group. Hellion ran particularly well on his second start on the Flat at Bath in September and has since joined Donald McCain. He is likely to be competitive along with Belaya River.

This could go to French Flat winner SHAMSAT, whose new trainer James Owen does very well with recruits from other yards.

(3) Jaccours 5/2, Bit below form when fourth, beaten 21l, in a maiden hurdle at Windsor on his latest run and may have needed that outing. Returns from a short break, is effective around 2m4f, and could come on for that recent start.

(7) Tommy Pickles 9/2, Promising debut when benefiting from an easy lead before finishing third, beaten 9 1/4l, in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot. Returns from a short break, is effective at around 2m6f, and there should be more to come now he has had a wind operation.
Sole rules effort has received a few boosts; interesting with progress plausible.

(4) Karma Police 15/2, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time. Has shown effectiveness over trips from 2m2f to 2m5f and, while that was a solid effort, he should be capable of better yet with further progress.
Couple of modest efforts over hurdles; looks one for handicaps.

(5) Kenzo Des Bruyeres 12/1, Confirmed previous level, looked smart when winning a 'winner of one' point at Knockmullen House by 18l last time; effective at 3m in points with cut; brings clear potential to hurdles and wears first-time cheekpieces.
Progressive in Irish points; scored easily the last twice; sold for 54,000euros since.

Form of Newbury effort franked when the winner ran well in the Challow; leading claims.

(2) Ercall Fox 22/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Warwick on his only start. Returns from a short break and has shown effectiveness at around 2m. This step up in trip could suit and he may improve with the experience gained.
Comfortably held in the end but showed promise at Warwick and the form has worked out well.

(6) Sea Victory 250/1, Improved but may have been flattered when comfortably held in a bumper here last time. Returns from a long absence and steps up in trip. This looks a testing assignment and he may be better suited to handicaps further down the line.
Far from solid on bumper form and absent for 14 months.

Despite being well held, BUDDY HOLLY displayed plenty of promise when finishing third on his hurdling/stable debut at Newbury in November. This looks to be a much easier test for the five-year-old and he could be hard to beat as a result. Jaccours is likely to be the main danger if back to his best, while Ercall Fox and Tommy Pickles complete the shortlist.

Some of the runners have solid form and look open to progress. BUDDY HOLLY is first pick ahead of Tommy Pickles then Ercall Fox.

Running okay in defeat and his mark is easing; may need a drop in class though.

May come on for last month's stable/handicap debut after 402 days off but he needs to.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

The hat-trick seeking Tonal is consistent at this level but a 6lb rise for his latest Wolverhampton success means another personal best is required. On the other hand, HALE END has done well off higher ratings in the past and a 3lb rise for his C&D win in December is a tractable assessment. Frostmagic, who is versatile regarding distance, is another strong contender, while King Of York is a lightly-weighted C&D winner to also bear in mind.

Tonal should go well again but the form of HALE END's C&D win last month is strong and he can make light of a 3lb rise.

Shaped as though he may have needed the run last time and he's not ruled out.

ALWAYS A REASON improved over hurdles, winning at Southwell and finishing a close second at Carlisle, before making a successful switch to the larger obstacles at Newcastle. Despite going up 5lb, Rebecca Menzies' gelding makes plenty of appeal in his bid to back up that performance. Zero Tolerance returned with a solid effort here over shorter and is capable of a decent showing. Starman appears best of the remainder.

The lightly raced 7yo ALWAYS A REASON travelled well to win on his recent chase debut at Newcastle and can make it 2-2 over fences.

TURENNE looked set to be successful before falling at the last on his most recent outing at Fontwell in December. With a clear round this time, it would be no surprise to see David Pipe's gelding make amends here. Blowers looks the likely pace angle and has to enter calculations, despite falling here last time, while Titanium Ring complete the shortlist.

Juvenile hurdler TURENNE is taken to gain compensation for Fontwell. Second choice is Titanium Ring.

BETTIES BAY showed she has the speed to stay out of trouble in dominant efforts to win her last two starts. With Mason Paetel's 5lb claim countering the penalty for her cosy win at Lingfield, the hat-trick looks within reach. With Profit Street drawn on her immediate right, and Clover Time noted in close proximity, this looks set to be truly-run affair. That could play to the strengths of fellow last-time out winner Good Earth, who appears to be the chief danger to the selection from a still competitive mark.

A competitive race but BETTIES BAY (nap) still appeals as being ahead of her mark and can make it 3-3 since joining James Owen.

Pops up with the odd good run but tailed off when last seen; further wind surgery since.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

On her last seven starts, Devon Skies has either won or been pulled up and she needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Sedgefield. Avalon Beach landed a maiden hurdle at the same venue in November and ran with credit when runner-up at Wetherby last time. The vote, though, goes to ABBEY SCOPE. Nicky Richards tends to be very patient with his horses and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see this six-year-old step forward considerably on his handicap debut.

Having gone close at Wetherby on Boxing Day, WISE MOVE can go one better today and get off the mark under rules.

The unexposed GIRLS BEST FRIEND was second when trying to follow up on his Uttoxeter win in November at Market Rasen the following month. Further improvement looks likely and he can defy a 6lb higher mark here. Illogical Logic has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again. First-time cheekpieces for Dangerous Touch makes him of interest as well.

Being unexposed over 3m and back at the scene of his hurdles win, DANGEROUS TOUCH is preferred. Girls Best Friend is second pick.

A drop in distance proved no barrier to success for BRAZILIAN ROSE, who completed a double over 6f here recently. Rebecca Menzies' C&D winner ticks plenty of the right boxes and she's taken to defy a 5lb penalty. The lightly-raced Lodge is entitled to build on her fifth-placed reappearance at Wolverhampton and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of How Impressive.

A warm race in which Mereside Diva and SAYTARR are both of some interest. The selection looks well treated on his stable debut.

Hasn't shown much over hurdles but this point winner could relish the switch to fences.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

After emphatic wins at Hexham and Warwick, it's hard to oppose STICK WITH ME SAM. A 5lb rise for his latest success is manageable in what doesn't appear to be a stronger race. The recent form posted by the rest is nothing to write home about, but Forcetoreckonwith is still of low mileage over fences and could be a key player with a step forward. Irish raider Bid Up won't need to raise his game by much to cover the travel expenses in this company.

It's hard to get away from STICK WITH ME SAM, who can complete the hat-trick. Chasing newcomer Elusive Knight is second choice.

GLENGOLLY recorded an impressive win at Hereford before Christmas and lost little in defeat when splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. The wind operation he underwent in September seems to have done the trick and the seven-year-old is preferred to Pipas Lescribaa, who ran a blinder to finish second here latest. Stellar Stream reverts to hurdles off an appealing mark and is another to consider.

Preference is for PIPAS LESCRIBAA ahead of Glengolly, Lady Henrietta and the unexposed Ker d'Oudairies.

Having recorded a brace of victories over C&D this month, Down To The Kid must enter calculations given his rejuvenation over the past year. However, a 4lb penalty and rise in class does demand another career-best performance from the veteran, with TALIS EVOLVERE slightly more compelling. Richard Hannon's inmate supplemented a triumph at this venue with a good second at Newcastle a fortnight ago and this ease in class may prove just the trick. Doctor Khan Junior and Legal Reform are others of interest.

Talis Evolvere is solid but DOWN TO THE KID arrives in such good form that he may be able to deal with this rise in class.

Out of form on his last few starts and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD looks worth chancing. Although she was well held in both placed starts since returning to action, she had plenty more behind than in front of her and from 14lb below her last winning mark, this could be a good time to catch the Christian Williams-trained mare. Bo Cruz and Court At Slip have similar profiles and merit close inspection in the betting. Bushypark is also dangerous to ignore on these terms.

The mare FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD (nap) has done her winning on soft and heavy ground and she earns the vote ahead of Bushypark.

Seasmoke arrives in fine fettle and is likely to prove popular given her scope for further improvement. However, the daughter of Flemensfirth has something to prove on testing ground and it might prove wiser to side with LADY HARRIETT. Although only a modest hurdler, her dam is related to a couple of useful chasers. That bodes well and shouldering a light weight is no bad thing either. Stamina Chope completes the shortlist.

Provided she takes to chasing, LADY HARRIETT may be the answer. Seasmoke is second pick.

Many would argue MILITARY CROSS has had enough chances, and they're probably right. A beaten favourite on more than one occasion, he now goes up in trip on his handicap debut and connections reach for first-time cheekpieces, so it's worth going to the well one last time. Pleasant Man is the sole C&D winner in here and makes some each-way appeal, while Moon Sniper was only beaten a half-length into third here last time.

A series of defeats at short prices temper enthusiasm slightly but MILITARY CROSS should appreciate this longer trip now handicapping.

Well treated on last season's form but this 10yo hasn't shone on his last two starts.

Very useful in his prime but pulled up on all three runs since returning from long layoff.

Having been edged out by a subsequent winner at Taunton, COLONIAL EMPIRE looks ready to rule his rivals. The nine-year-old is entitled to strip fitter for that first appearance in 189 days and a 2lb nudge up the ratings is surmountable. Wetherby third Asa merits respect on this quick turnaround and shouldn't be far away if performing to a similar level, while dual course winner Born In The West isn't easily dismissed either.

Preference is for COLONIAL EMPIRE who went close in a big field at Taunton last month following a break.

REINADO made amends for falling here in October when scoring with consummate ease in a conditional jockeys' event at Uttoxeter before following up less than a week later at Chepstow. The six-year-old has to contend with a 14lb higher mark, but the manner of those victories suggest a hike of that nature is fully justified and further progression appears likely. El Gavilan relished heavy ground when winning over C&D earlier in the month and is noted along with There Runs Mary.

With the cheekpieces retained, EL GAVILAN (nap) may well show further progress and complete a C&D double. Reinado is second pick.

TIME TURNER gained the success his previous form deserved at Newcastle eight days ago and is open to more improvement over these type of trips. Providing the quick turnaround doesn't catch him out, Ed Bethell's four-year-old is taken to successfully shoulder a 5lb penalty. Course winner Naughty Niall won't go down without a fight and it's also worth keeping a close eye on Rogue Identity and Beachborough Girl.

Time Turner should go well under a penalty but ROGUE IDENTITY isn't fully exposed and could be the answer.

Siobhan Rutledge made a successful return from a lengthy spell in Australia when successful aboard STONE BEAR over 6f earlier this month and the combination may follow up here. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained filly had Mini Cotai over four lengths behind in third, although that rival could pose more of a threat if able to get away from the stalls on level terms. Wedding Year and stablemate Beau Army are closely matched and also require attention.

Topweight STONE BEAR hit the line well when scoring over 6f on latest and she will be tough to beat in her follow-up bid

KAZAR FOREZ continued on his upward trajectory when romping home at Sedgefield and he's sure to be towards the head of the market on this hat-trick bid. Joshua Thompson negates most of the 7lb penalty with his claim and the six-year-old should take all the beating. Handicap debutant Playful Fox shouldn't be underestimated given his leading connections, and market support would be interesting. Voodoo Angel is the pick of the remainder.

The ex-French KAZAR FOREZ made it 2-2 for the season when winning comfortably at Sedgefield on Sunday and is taken to defy a penalty.

GWENNIE MAY JEM bounced back to form when appreciating the return to front-running tactics at Lingfield earlier in the month and Olly Murphy's gelding has every chance of backing up that performance under a 7lb penalty. Bobbi's Beauty is likely to benefit from a drop back in trip after a below-par display at Warwick, but the main danger could prove to be El Rojo Grande following his Market Rasen success a fortnight ago.

Assuming the form of his Lingfield win is backed up, GWENNIE MAY JEM holds a gold-plated chance. El Rojo Grande is second pick.

Those with previous experience make limited appeal and perhaps AUREVOIR TRISTESSE can make a winning debut. The Moyglare Stud homebred daughter of Caravaggio is out of a Listed winner and from the family of Salsabil. Divine Believer is another newcomer to consider and the Make Believe filly is related to some stakes performers in the US, while Handshake and Kart Of Gold are others to consider.

This is a maiden that revolves around the newcomers and Irish Derby entry HANDSHAKE is fancied to make a winning debut

There are a few with chances, including the hat-trick seeking Damascus Steel, who continues to be overlooked in the market. Melek Alreeh, Jodhpur Blue and Robusto all arrive on the back of narrow defeats, but CARDINAL POINT is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. Michael Bell's filly had started to become a little frustrating but regained the winning thread over C&D in fine style and, having snapped that run of seconds, she could kick on.

Decisive C&D winner CARDINAL POINT is taken to follow up under a 5lb penalty.

PICTURE THIS was the subject of a gamble on her debut here three weeks ago but never landed a blow after missing the kick. A half-sister to a dual course winner who was fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the daughter of Saxon Warrior drops in trip and the market support last time would suggest that she's capable of much better. Laoise Eile didn't match market expectations in two runs on turf but she's related to a dual course winner and may fare better here. Guy's Girl is noted too.

PICTURE THIS, who was heavily backed in a much better race than this on her debut, is the tentative choice

As is often the case in these types of contest, many of the runners arrive with something to prove. That can't be said for DASH POWER, who has posted a couple of solid efforts at this level of late, with the most recent coming at Newcastle. The previous C&D winner won't need much more to land this and he's preferred to Headshot, who is likely to benefit from a drop in class. Captain Pickles has hit the frame the last twice and is capable of being involved.

Best of an ordinary bunch might be CAPTAIN PICKLES with the return to this longer trip in his favour.

There was only a head between Moyassr and DAONETHATGOTAWAY over C&D earlier this month and the latter is taken to come out on top in the rematch. Apprentice Reese Holohan has quickly made a name for himself this winter and knows the selection well. The Tamayuz gelding got going too late last time and shaped like he might appreciate a longer trip, but all four of his wins have come over a mile. Seamie Heffernan replaces a 7lb claimer on Moyassr, who has a nice draw to work with, while Ferrybank can also get competitive.

It might pay to side with the 2023 and 2024 winner of this race MULGRAVE. He is drawn nicely and is 4lb below his last winning mark

It's difficult to be confident in a race of this nature and a tentative vote goes to LHEBAYEB. Richard Price's eight-year-old has found consistency hard to come by in handicaps of late but a drop into classified company will do her chances no harm and, on these terms, she appears to hold solid claims. Change Of Fortune returns from a 124-day absence but is one of the more appealing options, while Arlecchino's Rex could fare best of the remainder.

The suggestion is LHEBAYEB, who tends to save her better efforts for here, has an inside draw and a good chance on form.

1m course winner, narrowly denied over C&D latest, could go well with rider claiming 10lb.

Genoah had TAKE HEART two lengths back in fourth when winning here last month but the latter is now preferred. Formerly a smart handicapper with Johnny Murtagh, the selection was acquired by Stephen Thorne for 29,000gns after a fruitless spell in Britain. Take Heart conceded first run to Genoah on stable debut and now tries 1m4f for the first time. Nakasero proved his stamina when going close here three weeks ago and also comes into calculations.

There was just 2l between TAKE HEART (nap) and Genoah here last time and the former can reverse that form at this longer trip

TOMMO'S GINJANINJA displayed plenty of promise when filling second place on his debut over 7f here earlier in the month. With the benefit of that experience and this step up in trip, the son of Zoustar should be hard to beat. Hot To Hot has been gelded since his last appearance and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Terranoble.

The betting can provide clues in a trappy event. As things stand, TOMMO'S GINJANINJA is marginally preferred to Hot To Hot.

Good effort over 9.5f at Wolverhampton latest in Oct', 15lb higher now, may need this.

NIBRAS RAINBOW, well drawn here and victorious over C&D in November, might be another winner for Gavin Cromwell. The selection ran respectably in a claimer last week and is back down to his last winning mark. Harbanaker won on turf last year and shaped with mild promise on his second run back from a break earlier this month. Haeret In Pectore was ahead of Harbanaker last time but has a difficult draw to overcome. Mythical Rock should also go well.

A chance is taken on HAERET IN PECTORE who caught the eye making late gains after a tardy start over C&D last time

TOASTMASTER only found one too good on his handicap debut over C&D in November and a 1lb rise for that effort may not be enough to stop him from getting off the mark on this occasion. The in-form Hardstyle has to be respected, despite being turned over at odds-on on his hat-trick bid at Lingfield last week. Crockham Heath and Charlotte Corday are others with strong claims.

The twice-raced CROCKHAM HEATH looks open to plenty of improvement stepping up in trip. Hardstyle is best of the rest.

5/1(+50%)
(7) Aingeal Dorcha 5/1, The yard won this race last year. Did plenty early and set it up for a closer when comfortably held in a claimer here last time, and has been inconsistent of late.
Two-time turf winner, has run well over C&D, well held in claimer latest, could rebound.

Three-time C&D winner, 1m4f win here latest, rider's claim negates 7lb rise, go well again.

Handicap debutante, latest run over C&D not devoid of promise, check the market.

(9) General Grant 50/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap here last time. He has yet to show much form and needs to improve significantly to feature.
Modest effort over C&D on handicap debut latest, 3lb drop not enough to tempt.

100/1(-150%)
(10) Lady Crossing 100/1, Far too keen and probably flattered when beaten 8l in a maiden here last time. She has yet to find suitable conditions and looks a low-grade handicap type.
Handicap debutante, weakened over C&D on latest when 500-1, likely best watched.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

MAPA came closest to a first win when beaten less than a length over C&D in November and may get her turn here. Sheila Lavery's mare disappointed when favourite last time but she ran well in cheekpieces at the Curragh last year and that headgear is reached for again now. Marians Gal was an emphatic winner over this trip two starts back and was only just behind the selection when fifth last month. Aingeal Dorcha is another to consider.

Narrow preference is for YQUEM who shaped promisingly over C&D off this mark last time out

(7) Hitched 7/1, Raced a bit freely and was unsuited by how the race developed when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective over 8-10f, with his trainer in form, he has a chance given his consistent level of AW form.
Went close over C&D this month and drop to 7f may not have suited last week; respected.

Two 1m AW wins in November; not disgraced in Class 2 latest; player back in lower grade.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Cases can be made for most of these, but marginal preference is for EPICTETUS. Jamie Osborne's gelding was a close third over C&D two weeks ago and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Hitched was a place in front of him that day, but did not match that level when fifth at Southwell last week. Tribal Wisdom and Farasi Lane are others to note.

The suggestion is UNITING who wasn't disgraced in a Class 2 last time and should find life a bit easier back in this lower grade.

Made all in 6f turf novice in October but no joy in handicaps since; cheekpieces go on.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Although thwarted in her bid to complete a double when runner-up at Newcastle, THREE NON BLONDES lost little in defeat. An official rating of 74 looks workable on her handicap bow and she may take this step up in trip in her stride. Because We Can opened his account over C&D and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid, with fellow last-time-out winner Marseillan another key player.

The style of BECAUSE WE CAN's recent C&D handicap debut success suggests he can cope with a 4lb rise.

SAM'S HOPE had little difficulty in completing a double at Southwell and she should take all the beating on this quick turnaround. The six-year-old is 5lb well-in and has plenty going for her as a dual C&D winner. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Ziggy's Queen, who arrives on the back of a decent second at Chelmsford. Em Four and Lovat Scout cannot be dismissed in their current heart either.

It's tough to ignore the claims of SAM'S HOPE (nap), who had plenty to spare again at Southwell last week and can complete a hat-trick.

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.
