The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(7) Jaunty Freyja 5/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers. Just modest form over hurdles so far but she does stand a more realistic chance now handicapping for the first time.
2
2nd (8) (50/1 -150%) Sarceaux
50/1(-150%)
(8) Sarceaux 50/1, Fair Flat winner in France. Has shown the odd bit of promise over hurdles for this yard but she was running below par when slipping up at Wincanton last time.
3
3rd (5) (9/1 +0%) Lettie Lutz
9/1(+0%)
(5) Lettie Lutz 9/1, Reached the frame on first 2 starts over hurdles (C&D first occasion). Faded to finish well held on her 2½m Ffos Las handicap debut 3 weeks ago and now back down in trip with a tongue strap added.
4
4th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Dame Du Soir
4.5/1(+0%)
(1) Dame Du Soir 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who was a creditable third over fences on her reappearance. Not so good at Cheltenham since but returns to hurdles off 2 lb lower than when winning this last year. Player.
5th
5th (3) (2.75/1 -53%) Lady Tremaine
2.75/1(-53%)
(3) Lady Tremaine 2.75/1, Improved for a switch to handicaps and first-time cheekpieces when winning at Bangor (17f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Raised 5 lb but it's likely she has more to offer for stable which continues in form.
6th
6th (9) (8.5/1 -21%) Astra Via
8.5/1(-21%)
(9) Astra Via 8.5/1, Back to form when scoring over C&D in October, picking way through in well-run race to edge ahead late on. Both her wins have come off marks in the 80s so she will need a bit more to follow up.
7th
7th (4) (5/1 +23%) Ruby Yeats
5/1(+23%)
(4) Ruby Yeats 5/1, Successful at Exeter last winter. Not at best in 3 starts this term but has slipped to 9 lb below that winning mark so dangerous if staging a revival.

12/1(+0%)
(2) Heure De Gloire 12/1, Won mares' hurdle on sole run in France. Second in juvenile for new yard in March. Below that level in 2 handicaps last month but they were Class 1-2 events and she may fare better in this Class 4.
9th
9th (6) (12/1 +0%) Llantara
12/1(+0%)
(6) Llantara 12/1, Hurdles winner who was also placed a few times in handicap hurdles last season. Let down by jumping back chasing on return but may fare better returned to smaller obstacles. On a workable mark.

10th
10th (8) (12/1 +14%) Tipping Away
12/1(+14%)
(8) Tipping Away 12/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 200/1, again finished well held when ninth of 11 in minor event chase at Limerick (17.7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut.

18/1(+10%)
(9) Fiston Du Mou 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, unseated rider in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 10 days ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap chase debut.
(5) Pallas Lord 3.5/1, 4/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Fairly treated, so could make his presence felt if he settles better than last time.
2
2nd (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Abnaa
3.5/1(+30%)
(4) Abnaa 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 9/2, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Enters calculations.
2
2nd (13) (80/1 -60%) Perfect Soldier
80/1(-60%)
(13) Perfect Soldier 80/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f) 58 days ago. Others make more appeal.
4
4th (2) (4.5/1 -20%) Harvest Day
4.5/1(-20%)
(2) Harvest Day 4.5/1, Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (10/3) 23 days ago, slowly away. Still has handicapping scope based on old form, so worth a chance to follow up.
5th
5th (9) (11/1 -22%) Bobby Joe Leg
11/1(-22%)
(9) Bobby Joe Leg 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Not discounted from a handy mark.
6th
6th (7) (12/1 -9%) Palazzo
12/1(-9%)
(7) Palazzo 12/1, Sixth of 7 in seller at Redcar (8f, soft, 7/1) 65 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Quite reliable on synthetics, so not one to rule out in a thin race.
7th
7th (3) (9/1 +44%) Whatzupwithme
9/1(+44%)
(3) Whatzupwithme 9/1, Winner at Kempton in September. Tenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 15 days ago. Tricky sort who needs everything to drop right.
8th
8th (1) (28/1 -180%) Mashaan
28/1(-180%)
(1) Mashaan 28/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 17 days ago. Tricky customer who is hard to rely on.
9th
9th (12) (33/1 -32%) Power Player
33/1(-32%)
(12) Power Player 33/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 16/1) 34 days ago, missing break. Needs first-time blinkers to perk him up now end.
10th
10th (10) (9/1 -20%) Zenzero
9/1(-20%)
(10) Zenzero 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) 27 days ago. Had been in good form prior to that, so shouldn't be written off.
11th
11th (6) (25/1 -79%) Mabdaa
25/1(-79%)
(6) Mabdaa 25/1, 10/1 and visored for 1st time, 3¾ lengths sixth of 11 to Harvest Day in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Others have achieved more lately.
12th
12th (8) (11/1 -22%) Wabbal
11/1(-22%)
(8) Wabbal 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 28/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must improve.

100/1(-100%)
(14) Elspeth Rose 100/1, 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 160 days. Hard to make a solid case for.
14th

25/1(+0%)
(11) The Mackem Torpedo 25/1, Course winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 7 days ago. Looks vulnerable even if back on his game.
LTO Selection:
15:10 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(8) Straight Swap 8/1, Best effort over hurdles when second in Lingfield novice in November 2020. Seen twice since, and shaped as if he'd strip fitter for the run when fifth at Warwick back from a long absence 28 days ago.
2
2nd (5) (3.33/1 +0%) Garincha
3.33/1(+0%)
(5) Garincha 3.33/1, Lightly raced for current stable and left previous form behind when powering through to score at Wetherby last time. Type to improve further, so obvious claims under a penalty.
3
3rd (9) (14/1 +0%) Jaunty Viking
14/1(+0%)
(9) Jaunty Viking 14/1, Off the mark in Ffos Las novice handicap hurdle in June and back from a 6-month absence with a creditable third at Ludlow 15 days ago. May do better still.
4
4th (1) (50/1 -43%) Point Of Principle
50/1(-43%)
(1) Point Of Principle 50/1, Infrequent winner who has seemed out of sorts over both sets of obstacles this term.
5th
5th (3) (25/1 -79%) Lydford Lad
25/1(-79%)
(3) Lydford Lad 25/1, Showed ability on only start in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form well behind when landing a novice at Ffos Las. Disappointing there 3 weeks ago, and open mark seems pretty stiff.
6th
6th (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Caswell Bay
5.5/1(+15%)
(6) Caswell Bay 5.5/1, Last success came over C&D almost 2 years ago. Now lower in the weights and shaped as if back in form when fifth over an inadequate trip at Haydock on reappearance, so he's one to consider.
7th
7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Voyage De Retour
12/1(+0%)
(7) Voyage De Retour 12/1, Fair hurdler who is lightly raced for his age and returns to this sphere after an unproductive couple of tries over fences. Bit to prove.
8th
8th (11) (14/1 +30%) Akkapenko
14/1(+30%)
(11) Akkapenko 14/1, Narrowly failed to make a successful debut for new connections at Bangor in August but went one better 2 starts later at Uttoxeter in November. Seemed amiss at Taunton later that month, though.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (1.88/1 +25%) Helios Allen
1.88/1(+25%)
(4) Helios Allen 1.88/1, Improved to score readily over C&D in November and backed it up with a good third in a race that's proving strong (first two both won next-time-out), so he boasts leading claims.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (20/1 -67%) Kenny George
20/1(-67%)
(10) Kenny George 20/1, In good order when last seen, finishing second in a 16-runner event at Fontwell, but that was 10 months off, and he needs to return with a career-best effort., so this is a big ask.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (66/1 -200%) Affoburg
66/1(-200%)
(2) Affoburg 66/1, Fairly useful hurdler in France who returns from a 3-monnth break starting out for a new yard. Worth a market check.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Ask D'man 1.75/1, Multiple point winner, including last 2 starts (latest Dec 5). Ridden by one of the more experienced jockeys and makes plenty of appeal on Rules hunter debut.
2
2nd (7) (28/1 -40%) Three Loud Knocks
28/1(-40%)
(7) Three Loud Knocks 28/1, Fair chaser. Bit below form fifth of 12 in hunter chase (18/1) at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 10 days ago. Hard to make a case for.
3
3rd (11) (9/1 -38%) Midway To Getaway
9/1(-38%)
(11) Midway To Getaway 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving P. J. Rothwell when very good third of 12 in hunter chase (20/1) at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 10 days ago, keeping on well.
4
4th (6) (4/1 -78%) Is A Real Champ
4/1(-78%)
(6) Is A Real Champ 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 11/2, first run since leaving Paul Nicholls when second of 12 in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) on debut over fences 10 days ago. Should go well again.
5th
5th (5) (2.5/1 +58%) I Often Wonder
2.5/1(+58%)
(5) I Often Wonder 2.5/1, Well held in pair of maiden hurdles in 2019/20. Point winner in October, so worth a market check back under Rules.
6th
6th (3) (80/1 -60%) Cloudy Wednesday
80/1(-60%)
(3) Cloudy Wednesday 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy, 40/1) on debut over fences 10 days ago, beaten 3 out.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (16/1 -14%) Handy Headon
16/1(-14%)
(4) Handy Headon 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 13 in hunter chase (12/1) at Downpatrick (23.4f, good to soft) in March 2020. Dual winning pointer, unplaced last time (Nov 28). Has some potential under Rules.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (16/1 +52%) Call Me Merry
16/1(+52%)
(10) Call Me Merry 16/1, Modest hurdler for Paul Cashman. 18/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good). Winning pointer, third last time (Nov 28)
|PU|
|PU| (9) (20/1 -43%) Aghmorough Bridge
20/1(-43%)
(9) Aghmorough Bridge 20/1, Easily off mark in points at third attempt. Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 10/1, unseated rider in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) on debut over fences 10 days ago.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (33/1 -65%) Chato Santana
33/1(-65%)
(2) Chato Santana 33/1, Little promise for Denise Foster in bumpers. Winning pointer, unplaced last time (Nov 28). Others make more appeal.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (33/1 +0%) Time To Bite
33/1(+0%)
(8) Time To Bite 33/1, Modest hurdler. Maiden pointer, made frame last 2 starts (latest Dec 30). Hard to make a case for.
(2) Cephalus 1/1, 5/2, career best when winning 13-runner nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Evidently on the up and good chance of completing the hat-trick under a penalty here.
2
2nd (4) (7/1 -8%) Sparka
7/1(-8%)
(4) Sparka 7/1, 11/2, very good second of 12 in nursery at this course (7.1f) 65 days ago. Raised 4 lb for that near-miss, but she pulled nicely clear of the third (subsequent winner) and needs considering.
3
3rd (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Novak
5.5/1(-22%)
(3) Novak 5.5/1, Winner here in October. Third of 4 in nursery at this C&D (9/4) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Chances are he'll again find one or two too good.
4
4th (1) (3/1 +10%) Devasboy
3/1(+10%)
(1) Devasboy 3/1, Winner at Brighton in September. 12/1, good third of 13 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 41 days ago, finishing well. Step back up in trip looks a good move and he should have a major role to play.
5th
5th (5) (18/1 -50%) Maggie's Joy
18/1(-50%)
(5) Maggie's Joy 18/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable 3¼ lengths third of 13 to Cephalus in nursery at Southwell (8.1f, 66/1) 8 days ago. Clearly needs to improve if she's to turn the tables on Cephalus here.
LTO Selection:
15:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) The Mighty Arc 4/1, Placed in novice hurdles last term and improved on those efforts when making a successful chase/handicap debut at Worcester in November. Reverted to his weak-finishing ways last time but shortlisted.
1
1st (6) (2.25/1 +50%) Destin D'ajonc
2.25/1(+50%)
(6) Destin D'ajonc 2.25/1, Produced best effort over fences/for this yard to gain a first success in Britain over C&D last February and shaped as if better for the run after a wind op on reappearance. High on the shortlist.
2
2nd (1) (10/1 -43%) Broken Quest
10/1(-43%)
(1) Broken Quest 10/1, Prolific hurdles winner who opened chase account at Ludlow (20f) last March. Mixed bag has followed, disappointing over larger obstacles at Leicester just over 3 weeks ago.
3
3rd (4) (2.5/1 -11%) Gemirande
2.5/1(-11%)
(4) Gemirande 2.5/1, Ex-French gelding who opened account on these shores in 2m Wetherby novice hurdle in November 2020. Mixed record after, but his second on return over fences suggested he won't be far away here.
4
4th (5) (9/1 +59%) Enormouse
9/1(+59%)
(5) Enormouse 9/1, Showed fair level of ability when placed in maiden/novice company at this track on final 2 starts of last season but well held on return/handicap debut recently. Makes chase debut today.
5th
5th (3) (10/1 +44%) Thomas Patrick
10/1(+44%)
(3) Thomas Patrick 10/1, Big improver over fences a few of seasons back, winner of Grade 3 Aintree handicap in 2018. However, has shown no form in over 3 years now so easily opposed.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (5/1 +55%) Mouseinthehouse
5/1(+55%)
(8) Mouseinthehouse 5/1, Arrives in decent nick, seventh of 12 in handicap chase (12/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 33 days ago. Can give another good account.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (16/1 +0%) El Hageb Rose
16/1(+0%)
(9) El Hageb Rose 16/1, Some promise over hurdles in 2018/19 and a bad mistake essentially ended his hopes on chase debut at Kempton over 2 years ago. Clearly had his problems so this should reveal what ability remains.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (22/1 -22%) Lord Bryan
22/1(-22%)
(7) Lord Bryan 22/1, Unreliable type who ended a losing run stretching more than 2 years in 6-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen in June. Failed to fire since, so not one to be interested in currently.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Almaan 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute when eighth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7f) 28 days ago, needing stiffer test. Others make greater appeal.
2
2nd (1) (2.75/1 -22%) Alhammaam
2.75/1(-22%)
(1) Alhammaam 2.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/5, didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner minor event at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Step back up in trip shouldn't be an issue and he's high on the shortlist.
3
3rd (8) (7/1 +36%) Tie A Yellowribbon
7/1(+36%)
(8) Tie A Yellowribbon 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/1) 9 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.
4
4th (4) (12/1 -20%) El Camino
12/1(-20%)
(4) El Camino 12/1, C&D winner in October. 13/2, tenth of 11 in handicap back over this C&D 21 days ago. Likely to come up short.
5th
5th (5) (33/1 -200%) Woke Media
33/1(-200%)
(5) Woke Media 33/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and the new headgear will need to spark improvement if she's to emerge on top here.
6th
6th (2) (25/1 -56%) Battle Of Marathon
25/1(-56%)
(2) Battle Of Marathon 25/1, Course winner. 18/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (14f) 24 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Couldn't be sure that this significant drop in trip will be in his favour.
7th
7th (6) (2.75/1 +8%) Seesawing
2.75/1(+8%)
(6) Seesawing 2.75/1, Good third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 7/2) 22 days ago. Mark unchanged and promises to benefit from this step up to a mile, so he's one to consider.
8th
8th (7) (5/1 +44%) Healing Power
5/1(+44%)
(7) Healing Power 5/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. Definite chance off this mark if more tractable this time.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(9) No Diggity 3.75/1, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable second of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 2/1) 1 day ago. One to consider if taking his chance.
(5) (66/1 -32%) Farewell Kiss
66/1(-32%)
(5) Farewell Kiss 66/1, Sixth of 9 in minor event (28/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 140 days and she looks set for another struggle.
1
1st (10) (6/1 +33%) Pips Tune
6/1(+33%)
(10) Pips Tune 6/1, 40/1 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (10f) 28 days ago, slowly away. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.
2
2nd (1) (3.5/1 -5%) Crazy Spin
3.5/1(-5%)
(1) Crazy Spin 3.5/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. Good third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 10/1) 27 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in this company.
3
3rd (3) (25/1 -127%) Essgee Nics
25/1(-127%)
(3) Essgee Nics 25/1, Modest gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. Seventh of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 37 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
4
4th (11) (3.5/1 +42%) Recuerdame
3.5/1(+42%)
(11) Recuerdame 3.5/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. 7/2, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (10f) 28 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back, but would be a player at this level if able to do so.
5th
5th (7) (5.5/1 -38%) Laurentia
5.5/1(-38%)
(7) Laurentia 5.5/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago. Merits consideration.
6th
6th (4) (4.5/1 +55%) Ethel C
4.5/1(+55%)
(4) Ethel C 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, twelfth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 66 days ago. Readily passed over.
7th
7th (2) (9/1 +36%) Disarming
9/1(+36%)
(2) Disarming 9/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. 11/1, bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap at this C&D 56 days ago. Would be in with a shout if she were to put her best foot forward.
8th
8th (6) (18/1 +45%) Ivahunch
18/1(+45%)
(6) Ivahunch 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D. Off 14 months ahead of this debut for new yard and, unless the market suggests otherwise, he's probably best watched.
9th
9th (8) (50/1 -79%) Maeve's Memory
50/1(-79%)
(8) Maeve's Memory 50/1, Modest filly. 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm). Off 121 days. Significantly up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Ben Haslam. No more than an each-way squeak.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(3) Are You Able 33/1, Lightly-raced mare. Visored for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 50/1) 7 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.
2
2nd (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Dark Flyer
4.5/1(+10%)
(5) Dark Flyer 4.5/1, Twice-raced colt. Third of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 17/2) 19 days ago. Place possibilities.
3
3rd (6) (3/1 +25%) Depart A Minuit
3/1(+25%)
(6) Depart A Minuit 3/1, Once-raced colt. Fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) on debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer and could make his presence felt.
4
4th (7) (14/1 -40%) No Fear Lucy
14/1(-40%)
(7) No Fear Lucy 14/1, 5,000 gns yearling, Gutaifan filly. Dam unraced out of useful 9.5f winner Grenadia. Entitled to come on for the run, but she's certainly worth a second look in the betting.
5th
5th (8) (4/1 -14%) T Maxie
4/1(-14%)
(8) T Maxie 4/1, Swiss Spirit filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Charlie Fellowes and half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Makfire. Wears tongue strap. Very much one to note in the betting.
6th
6th (2) (1.5/1 +20%) Vignoni
1.5/1(+20%)
(2) Vignoni 1.5/1, Once-raced gelding on Flat. First run since leaving Henry Candy when third of 10 in juvenile hurdle (20/1) at Catterick (15.7f, good) on NH debut 48 days ago. Obvious claims back in this sphere.
7th
7th (4) (80/1 -100%) Daruan
80/1(-100%)
(4) Daruan 80/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 6 in minor event at Catterick (6f, good to firm, 28/1) on debut. Off 121 days and she makes little appeal.
8th
8th (1) (125/1 +17%) Gordonontheorgan
125/1(+17%)
(1) Gordonontheorgan 125/1, Last of 13 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut 54 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and he's hard to warm to on this Flat debut.
LTO Selection:
17:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(3) Split Elevens 4/1, Temperamental sort. One win from 21 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, 16/1) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Visor on first time.
2
2nd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Dors Toyboy
4.5/1(+0%)
(4) Dors Toyboy 4.5/1, C&D winner in November. 20/1, well-held fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 20 days ago but it's likely he's still in form. In the mix from a handy draw.
3
3rd (11) (10/1 +55%) The Game Of Life
10/1(+55%)
(11) The Game Of Life 10/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 50/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 23 days ago.

(2) Macs Dilemma 2.5/1, Irish import who got up close home to spring an 80/1 surprise on his 7f Wolverhampton yard debut 15 days ago. There was no fluke about it so a 2 lb rise may not stop him.

(6) Arlo's Sunshine 5.5/1, Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 11/2) 20 days ago, plugging on. No forlorn hope for all he remains a maiden.

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.
