Market House

3
3/1(+45%)
(4) Market House 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat for Barry Connell. 7/2 and tongue strap on, good third of 7 on yard bow in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 17 days ago. Well in the mix.
Among the favourites for his new yard recently and offered much more; has to be considered.

(2) Media Mogul 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden who didn't enjoy a clear run when a good fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 11/1) 20 days ago. Should improve further. Likely player.
Pleasing handicap debut, upped from an extended 1m to 1m4f, latest; shortlisted.

Pulled hard and finished well held behind Flying Scotsman latest; player if she settles.

(3) Flying Scotsman 9/2, 9/2, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 32 days ago. Scored readily there so big shout despite a 4 lb rise in the weights.
Won a weak C&D handicap, returned to blinkers, easily a month ago; needs more upped 4lb.

11/2(-22%)
(1) Spectacular Style 11/2, 9/4, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 20 days ago. Hood back on. Chance if rediscovering old form.
Costly to follow; three previous runs on Tapeta were poor and he has it all to prove now.

16/1(+0%)
(5) Neddies Boy 16/1, Fair ex-Irish 1m4f winner but off 8 months since a below-par seventh of 11 in claimer at Limerick (11.5f). More is needed on his tapeta debut.
Not seen since last summer but is well worth tracking in the market for his new yard.

MEDIA MOGUL wasn't disgraced when tried over 1m4f on his handicap debut at Kempton last month and, subsequently nudged down 1lb, he could be worth chancing with today's slightly longer trip potentially unlocking further improvement. Letmeseethecolts, who won a classified stakes at Southwell on her penultimate start, ran too keenly when attempting to follow up over C&D last time out and can surely fare better if she settles better this time. Recent track-and-trip winner Flying Scotsman should also go well despite the imposition of a 4lb higher mark.

MEDIA MOGUL made a promising start in handicap company when fourth at Kempton recently and can build on it now to get off the mark. Stylish C&D scorer Flying Scotsman rates a big threat though, while Market House is another who can have a big say in an open contest.

Good support for Neddies Boy would draw the eye. Otherwise MEDIA MOGUL gets the vote having shaped nicely on his handicap debut.

1st (6) Fairlawn Flyer (5/1 +29%)
Fairlawn Flyer

5
5/1(+29%)
(6) Fairlawn Flyer 5/1, Successful from a 8 lb higher mark at Cartmel in summer 2023 and confirmed he retains plenty of ability back from a lengthy absence when fourth in Borders National (32.4f) in December. Not built on that in 3 starts since, however.
Returned from an absence with some solid efforts but ran no race last time at Doncaster.

Concetto

3/1(+33%)
(1) Concetto 3/1, Won twice last term (including here) and best effort of current campaign when runner-up in a C&D handicap on Boxing Day. That form was franked subsequently but he ran disappointingly when fifth of 7 in handicap chase back here (23.9f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to leave that behind.
Can be keen but has the form to feature and Ben Smith takes off a useful 8lb.

Usually runs this track well, as when third over C&D on Boxing Day; lesser run since.

11/1(-69%)
(2) Fern Hill 11/1, Losing run stretches back to 2022 but went close to bucking that trend when edged out late in the day at Fakenham (29f) on penultimate start. Not in same form in refitted cheekpieces (retained here) when pulled up at Bangor (29.6f, heavy) 25 days ago but on a handy mark if bouncing back.
Disappointed last time but a good run the start before; well handicapped now.

8/1(-129%)
(3) Basford 8/1, Fair winner at 3m over hurdles. Has taken to fences quite well this season, second of 4 at Fakenham (29f) 18 days ago. Should be thereabouts again with cheekpieces replacing the visor.
Three hurdle wins and seems to be mildly progressive as a chaser; considered.

|PU| (7) The Questioner (5/1 +9%)
The Questioner

5
5/1(+9%)
(7) The Questioner 5/1, Hurdle/chaser winner who showed he retains ability on his second run back after an absence when third of 10 in 3m Wetherby handicap hurdle in January. Latest Sedgefield run in that sphere was well below par, so return to larger obstacles needs to have positive effect here.
Hurdling this season and could appreciate the return to fences; on a good mark.

Percy Veering

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(5) Percy Veering 7/2, Bright start over fences last term, winning 3 in a row, culminating in an all-the-way success at Exeter. Ended that campaign on a low-key note but back on track when finding just one too good on return here (23.9f, soft) in November where he pulled clear of the rest. Key player.
Only 3lb higher than when coming clear with the favourite here last time.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

PERCY VEERING bounced back to form when second over 3m on his seasonal return here in November and that was the eight-year-old's first start since a wind operation. With the promise of more to come, he tops the shortlist. Basford also hit the crossbar last time and could prove to be the main threat, although Fern Hill and Concetto have the ability to go well.

PERCY VEERING ran a cracker on the back of 9 months off when going down narrowly to an unexposed sort here in November and a repeat should see him very competitive again now tackling this longer trip. Basford hasn't shaped at all badly in 3 chase tries to date and he, along with The Questioner, head up the dangers.

This looks very open but THE QUESTIONER is on his winning chase mark and could appreciate this return to fences.

Manton Road

3
3/1(-50%)
(1) Manton Road 3/1, 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 6 days ago. Carries 6 lb penalty but idled there and still merits serious consideration.
6lb penalty will make life tougher but he's fine on Tapeta and has to enter the equation.

Some way behind Manton Road latest but is 9lb better off today, which gives him claims.

Has gone backwards since handicapping and is tried in first-time headgear today.

Needs to improve off this mark and also needs to settle better back from seven weeks off.

Not obviously fancied back from seven months off unless the market says otherwise.

Big prices and well beaten all starts, again finishing last behind Manton Road in January.

MANTON ROAD gave the impression he was saving a little for himself when he won over this trip at Kempton last month and, under a 6lb penalty, could be tough to beat if Luke Morris can again coax the best out of his retained mount. What What What rates the chief danger and is well worth another try over this distance after finishing second to a sharper rival over 6f here most recently. Bantz and Falaise Blanc also hold each-way appeal.

A few with chances but Gay Kelleway's MANTON ROAD is thriving at present and fancied to defy a 6 lb penalty for his idling Kempton victory. Bantz figures on a handy-looking mark and heads the list of dangers, with in-form pair What What What and Falaise Blanc also well in the mix.

A high draw looks ideal for FALAISE BLANC, given his propensity for hanging right, and he can see off Manton Road.

(1) Wellington Arch 2/15, Fairly useful bumper winner last season who has made a positive start over hurdles, off the mark at second attempt in a Carlisle novice (17f) before chasing home subsequent listed scorer Fingle Bridge over extended 18f trip here 46 days ago. The one to beat.
Second to a subsequent Listed winner here last time with the pair miles clear.

Not had a lot of racing but needs to step up on what he's shown thus far.

Has the physique for hurdling but ultimately spoilt his chance by refusing to settle when fourth in 14-runner Kempton maiden (2m) on yard/hurdles bow 25 days ago. Forecast quicker ground in his favour here and entitled to do better. Hood on 1st time.
Useful on the Flat and a hood is added after racing with the choke out on hurdle debut.

Has no entitlement to be troubling the best of these on what he's shown thus far.

WELLINGTON ARCH clearly sets the standard having won over 2m1f at Carlisle in December and the six-year-old was second in a similar event under a penalty at this venue last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts may well be good enough to see off Indemnity, who showed some promise when fourth on his hurdling debut last month. Fidendum lacks a recent run but completes the shortlist.

Having opened his account over hurdles at Carlisle in December, WELLINGTON ARCH again ran well when chasing home a subsequent listed winner here (18.6f) 46 days ago. He looks the one to beat and is fancied to concede weight all round and come out on top. Indemnity and Fidendum rate next best, in that order.

The form of WELLINGTON ARCH's second here has been handed a significant boost by the smart winner and he should be hard to beat.

Better for debut when winning 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 2/7) 19 days ago. May well do better again and big chance under a penalty.
Two subsequent winners behind when off the mark at Chelmsford; likely has more to offer.

160,000gns half-brother to top-class Inspiral among others; looks the part on paper.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Last-time-out winners NOBLE VICTORY and Berkshire Whisper boast similar credentials but the former won with plenty in hand at Chelmsford last month and he can follow up here, as he picks up a lesser penalty than the latter. That is not to dampen the claims held by Berkshire Whisper, whose Kempton success was a promising display, even though he hung right under pressure and made hard work of things in the end. James Owen's newcomer Stardrop has a likable pedigree and he warrants a betting check.

A small field but an interesting novice with all 4 worth considering. RAINBOW NEBULA was beaten only by a smart prospect over C&D 6 weeks ago so shades the vote over the 2 penalised winners and a well-bred debutant.

Berkshire Whisper and NOBLE VICTORY boast similar profiles, with narrow preference for the latter.

MOONSET confirmed the promise that he displayed in a bumper when once again filling second place on his hurdling debut at Worcester in September. On that evidence, Neil Mulholland's gelding could take plenty of stopping in this company, despite the 174-day break. Lady Kluck should not be discounted on her first start over timber, while Mohawk Chief and Idaho Valley are the pick of the remainder.

IDAHO VALLEY rates just the pick of these on form and on the back of wind surgery and with this longest trip he's tackled to date another plus he edges the vote from Dan Skelton's hurdling newcomer Lady Kluck. Mohawk Chief and Moonset both need factoring into this open-looking maiden hurdle too.

A trappy maiden in which marginal preference is for MOONSET who looked stretched by 2m7f on his hurdling debut.

3-3 over C&D, all in small fields, and he holds leading claims again upped a fair 2lb.

William Dewhirst put his sixth-placed effort here behind him when regaining the winning thread over this C&D last week. Ben Haslam's charge must enter the reckoning in his current mood, but a 5lb penalty could leave the five-year-old vulnerable and fellow last-time-out winner BREWING makes more appeal. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings for scoring over this track and trip looks more than workable and a seventh career victory may beckon for the Showcasing gelding. Catch The Paddy and Lady Flora can also feature in the finish.

None of these can be ruled out but BREWING rates just the pick of the weights and is taken to bag a fourth C&D victory. Andrew Balding's Lady Flora returned from a lay-off with a good Kempton second and rates a big danger though, while course specialist William Dewhirst and Nikovo also warrant plenty of respect.

Currently 3-3 over C&D, BREWING (nap) is preferred to William Dewhirst, whose own record over C&D is none too shabby either (5-7).

Went off too fast and didn't get home over a marathon trip last time; better expected.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

REALISATION wasn't at her best in a deeper race at Cheltenham most recently but the combination of a drop in class and a slightly longer trip could be beneficial factors as the Charlie Longsdon-trained mare bids to get off the mark over fences at just the fourth time of asking. Hold Up La Colmine has also shown promise since being sent chasing and is feared most, while Kandor is another notable option for an in-form yard.

REALISATION had made a promising start over fences before failing to meet expectations faced with more demanding fences at a more demanding track at Cheltenham but she can bounce back with a bang back down in class. Hold Up La Colmine showed something to work on both starts over fences after a lengthy absence and rates the main threat ahead of likely front runner Cartonne.

West Country raider HOLD UP LA COLMINE was running really well until meeting interference at Windsor and compensation may await.

BUZZ BOX justified strong support in the market when landing the spoils over this track and trip 32 days ago. Although a 6lb higher mark demands another career-best performance from the four-year-old, he rates as one to keep on the right side of at present. The biggest threat may emerge from Monks Dream, who arrives on the back of a close-up second over 6f at this venue and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent Tim Easterby's inmate from being competitive. Dark Kestrel also looks capable of scoring off his current mark.

A competitive sprint in which MONKS DREAM is fancied to build on his excellent recent second here and resume winning ways. Recent C&D victor Buzz Box could emerge as the chief threat to Tim Easterby's C&D scorer ahead of in-form trio Glory Fighter, Dark Kestrel and Strong Power.

Dual course winner Monks Dream should go well but the drop from 6f looks ideal for JE NE SAIS QUOI, who gets the nod.

Mostly struggled since moving yards and was pulled up on his return to hurdling.

Shengai Enki was a decisive winner under today's rider at Fontwell nine days ago and is a must for the shortlist turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty. However, THE BLUEBERRY ONE returned to action with a good second at Ffos Las in January and, open to any amount of improvement after that encouraging handicap bow, he is taken to defy a 4lb higher mark. Nollyador escapes a penalty for winning a conditional jockeys' event at Hereford last month and is another to consider.

NOLLYADOR confirmed the promise of his belated reappearance run when opening his account with a bit to spare at Hereford 9 days ago and, unpenalized for that success, he could well be capable of following up. The Blueberry One and Fontwell-scorer Shengai Enki are others to consider, whilst market confidence behind Wa Wa on debut for Olly Murphy would also look significant.

A good few with chances but THE BLUEBERRY ONE is taken to go one better than when made favourite for his first handicap.

BELLAGIO MAN was a close third over C&D last Thursday and the seven-year-old has to be of interest off the same mark here. Blackjack (first) and Roaring Ralph (second) are closely matched based on their meeting here a couple of weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see both go well once again. Others to note are Harry Did and Biplane.

HARRY DID didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Kempton last time out and can capitalise on a 1 lb lower mark here. Bellagio Man also wasn't seen to ideal effect when a recent C&D third so rates a big danger, while others to consider in a competitive sprint are Whats In The Bag, Roaring Ralph and Blackjack.

A chance is taken on WESTMORIAN, who goes well fresh and is on the same mark as for last March's C&D win. Blackjack is next best.

A return to 1m proved just the ticket for last month's C&D winner CREST OF LIGHT and he's fancied to follow up. The son of Zarak was value for further than the winning distance suggests that day and a 3lb higher mark may not be enough to halt him. West Tyrone ran his best race to date when finishing a close-up second on his handicap bow at Newcastle and Kevin Ryan's charge is feared most, ahead of Pink Petunia.

WEST TYRONE stepped up on his previous efforts and found only another unexposed sort too strong at Newcastle (1m) 24 days ago and he can confirm the promise of that run and go one place better here. Crest of Light and Antiquity, who finished 1-2 over C&D recently, head up the dangers, with Pink Petunia a handicap debutante to note.

Tight between Antiquity and Crest Of Light on their recent C&D form but WEST TYRONE can build on his close second at Newcastle.

(5) Rumoursareflying 13/8, Proved reliable over hurdles, making the frame on several occasions. Very much a chaser on looks and pedigree but fell heavily on debut in this sphere at Wetherby. However, showed he was none the worse when decent third at Huntingdon and entitled to do better again.
Fell on chase debut but bounced back with a 7l third at Huntingdon.

Dual good-ground winner; latest run wasn't bad at all given that he made mistakes.

The fitting of a first-time visor worked the oracle for Alto Alto when making all at Plumpton last month and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, all five of the eight-year-old's victories have come at the East Sussex venue and C&D winner DENEMETHY rates a more solid proposition. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Leicester and a return to the scene of his last triumph may prove fruitful. Unexposed chaser Homme D'Un Soir is also noted reverting to this discipline.

RUMOURSAREFLYING remains a long-standing maiden but he's unexposed in this sphere and gets the nod after his eye-catching third at Huntingdon. Denemethy has improved for the switch to fences this season and rates a serious threat down in class.

All five have chances but DENEMETHY will enjoy having a solid pace to chase and he's made a good start to his chase career.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

DRAFTED took a step forwards when third over C&D last time and, given that was his first start over a mile, the five-year-old may have more to offer here. Pallas Lord has been running well in defeat of late and could make the frame once again, while Glastonbury edges out Commander Crouch and Odd Socks Havana to be best of the rest.

ODD SOCKS HAVANA is a multiple C&D winner but hasn't enjoyed the best of runs in recent starts and is fancied to bounce back in style here. Wyvern is weighted to go close if back on song and could emerge as the main threat to Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o, with fellow course victors Drafted and Pallas Lord also in the picture.

The cards haven't always fallen right for WYVERN since his C&D win in November but he remains capable of picking up another race here.

Failed to beat a rival over 7f here last month on debut for new stable.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Al Waseela ended her last campaign with a victory at Redcar in November and market support on her stable/seasonal bow for Ollie Sangster would be interesting. However, APPLEBLOSSOMWHITE boasts a recent run having made a winning yard debut in style at Kempton last month and the daughter of Soldier's Call may find enough improvement to defy a 7lb rise in the ratings. The reappearing Bownder proved a model of consistency once entering nursery company during 2024 and he is also noted.

SPEC OF LIGHT showed much improved form when second on handicap debut over C&D 17 days ago, conceding first run but still pulling a long way with the winner. Open to further progress, he can confirm the promise of that with victory here. Easy Kempton scorer Appleblossomwhite and Minelone are others in the mix, as is Al Waseela on return to action.

On the back of a promising handicap debut, SPEC OF LIGHT is preferred. Bownder is second choice.

Looked progressive until reportedly hanging right throughout around Cartmel.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A step up in distance did the trick for last month's 2m7f Bangor winner COASTAL ROCK and he looks to have more to come over the same trip today. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for Olly Murphy's inmate and a brace could be on the cards. A 74-day break appeared to freshen up recent Huntingdon scorer Jubilant and, despite a 10lb hike in the handicap, he's feared most. Belvedere Blast may fare best of the remainder.

JUBILANT won in commanding style at Huntingdon last month and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. He can follow up. Coastal Rock and Belvedere Blast rate the principal dangers.

Competitive. CARRIGMOORNA ROWAN (nap) has been off since last July but he's Harry Fry's only runner here. He can improve again.

Although he could never make a dent from the rear when finishing eighth in a handicap at Wolverhampton last month, RAVENGLASS faces his easiest assignment here since scoring at that venue in October. Classified company could prove just the tonic for Adrian Wintle's charge and a fourth career victory could be on the cards. Last-time-out winner Aspire To Glory warrants respect in his current mood, but a 6lb penalty does demand more of him. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from fellow in-form rival Alice's Impact.

ALICE'S IMPACT has made a solid start for her new yard this year and gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Iftikhaar and Aspire To Glory should also go well.

Masham Moor boasts a fair record over C&D but ALICE'S IMPACT showed this trip was within range last time and is preferred.

A C&D winner off an 11lb higher mark last March, the in-form ONE MORE DREAM appeals stepping back up in trip after returning to winning ways in a rider restricted handicap at Wolverhampton last month. Jason Heart knows the six-year-old well and his presence back in the saddle is a positive switch for the follow-up bid. Rich Rhythm is feared most after his own track-and-trip success in January, while Zu Run should not be underestimated over his optimum distance.

Preference is for ONE MORE DREAM, who ended a lengthy losing run at Wolverhampton last month and remains nicely treated on old form. Rich Rhythm and Zu Run are feared most.

On the back of an eyecatching effort, EMILY POST gets the vote. Rich Rhythm and One More Dream are respected.

(3) Haaland 15/8, Course winner who arrives on back of respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 45 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor now added for first time and holds strong claims. 1 lb out of the weights.
Interesting in first-time visor, having gained one of his wins in first-time cheekpieces.

(1) Vaguely Royal 13/2, Underperformed over hurdles last time but largely acquitted himself well on Flat last summer and warrants respect on return to level here.
Hurdles record for new yard features a win; useful on Flat for previous stable.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Vaguely Royal sets a good standard on his old form and reverts to the Flat with a fair chance of giving weight and beating to his three rivals. However, conceding 19lb to the less-exposed WONDER is a big ask and with his recent third-placed finish at Wolverhampton being boosted by the winner going in again since, James Fanshawe's gelding looks the pick of the bunch now upped in trip. Haaland, who sports a first-time visor, and Tradesman are both out of the handicap and may have to settle for supporting roles.

HAALAND shaped well on his first 2 starts for new connections and was undone by a muddling pace at Kempton last time. He gets the nod. Wonder looks the likeliest danger.

Judged on his last two efforts, WONDER (nap) holds particularly strong claims off an unaltered mark. Haaland is feared most.

Has failed to score on AW since early 2023; substandard efforts this year.

None of these are without risk but TRUE PROMISE has hinted at a revival of late and could be worth chancing off a 1lb lower mark than when he won over C&D in November. Existent has stacks of ability but has wasted seemingly better chances of late, so cannot be backed with maximum confidence. Therefore, the class-dropping Bedford Flyer is suggested as a bigger danger to the selection, despite running off 6lb above his last winning mark.

HIYA MAITE had highlighted he was coming to the boil prior to finding listed company too much here 10 days ago and, with a tongue strap refitted, this previous dual C&D winner is fancied to be seen in a much better light returned to handicaps. True Promise and Existent are others fancied to be in the thick of things.

The vote goes to TRUE PROMISE, who is one of the main players on recent form and remains unexposed over 5f.

BAJAN BLUE won on her only previous start over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in January last year. The break is a concern, but Roger Varian's filly can obviously go well fresh and just tops the shortlist. De Ville is another returning from a lengthy layoff who has to be of interest, while any mark support for Turquino on his belated debut would have to be noted.

Little depth to this and DE VILLE showed enough in a strong novice at Sandown in April to get the vote. Debut-winner Bajan Blue is the obvious threat but she does have a penalty/absence to defy.

The suggestion is DE VILLE, who has a better chance now dropped to a lesser level. Bajan Blue is second choice.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

High Court Judge has to be of interest despite his winning run coming to an end at Wolverhampton last time. However, preference is for MR NUGGET, who appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over C&D a couple of weeks ago and a 5lb rise could underestimate him. Risen Again may be sharpened up by the first-time application of cheekpieces and he is another to consider.

MR NUGGET is gradually getting the hang of things now and can follow up after his decisive win over C&D last month. The thriving High Court Judge is the obvious threat with Covert Legend best of the others.

With further progress plausible, MR NUGGET is taken to follow up his solid C&D success. Covert Legend is second pick.

GOZO's second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton three weeks ago sets the standard and, given that was his first start since August, there may be more to come from the five-year-old. Percy Willis is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature and has to be of some interest, while similar comments apply to Annandale and Aiming High.

GOZO was beaten only by a subsequent winner on his return at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and is fancied to go one better off the same mark. Aiming High and Annandale are feared most.

On the back of a solid reappearance effort, GOZO could well open his Flat account. Aiming High is second choice.

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.
