13:20 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

With no form to go on, the market could prove the best guide to these newcomers but the eye is drawn to Charlie Appleby's Golophin-owned duo of Al Qudra and HALLASAN. The latter is a half-brother to several winners, including Group 3 juvenile scorer Al Raya, and the 180,000gns purchase is expected to go well for William Buick. James Doyle partners his stablemate, whose price tag rose to 425,000gns as a yearling and he's out of a dam who won a Listed race as a two-year-old. Arran cost 180,000 euros and is related to a few decent winners, so he warrants respect, along with Richard Hannon's The Actor.

An early-season 2-y-o novice that usually produces a few useful types and the betting often points the way. HALLASAN and Al Qudra both make plenty of appeal on paper for red-hot Charlie Appleby and William Buick's mount gets the vote before market clues. Bretton Wood, and Arran, from a yard that had an impressive 2-y-o winner at Kempton last week, are a couple of others to note.

Charlie Appleby saddles two and William Buick's mount HALLASAN is taken to come out on top. Stablemate Al Qudra is second choice.

13:30 Naas Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Icare Desbois beat Lecky Watson in a Fairyhouse bumper last Easter and is the clear form pick on his third to King Of Kingsfield and Mirazur West in a maiden hurdle at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. However, he's disappointed twice since and OMNISCIENT may prove a better alternative. The selection was rated in the 90s after winning twice on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and was just let down by his jumping in the closing stages when making a promising hurdle debut at Fairyhouse recently. He should benefit from that experience and is preferred to Union Station who had Kinbara Hills well behind in fourth when placed at Navan last month. Galway Festival bumper winner Fortunate Lighting is another to consider.

OMNISCIENT was useful on the Flat and, while his hurdling debut was a little underwhelming, he's worth a chance to open his account with improvement anticipated. Icare Desbois is an obvious player if back on his game and Fortunate Lightning is an interesting hurdling debutant.

There is a question mark against ICARE DESBOIS after his two most recent starts but he will be hard to beat if retrieving his form

This is a wide-open handicap but there is plenty to like about the chances of DREAM COMPOSER, who won this race last year, before landing decent pots at Goodwood and Sandown, and returns off a 1lb lower mark than his victory 12 months ago. With a recent pipe-opener under his belt, he is preferred to Mountain Peak, who drops in class and in the ratings for his seasonal debut, and C&D winner Makanah, who is used to mixing in better company. Isle Of Lismore looks the pick of Robert Cowell's trio after a promising seasonal debut third at Lingfield 12 days ago.

Last year's winner DREAM COMPOSER is 1 lb lower this time around and made a satisfactory reappearance at Doncaster, so he makes most appeal, with Navello also considered having scored at Wolverhampton last time. Makanah has a decent record fresh and can't be ruled out.

Last year's winner DREAM COMPOSER (nap) might well go in again after an encouraging reappearance at Doncaster.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

VERBAL SPARRING has filled the runner-up spot twice in handicaps this winter notably when staying on nicely behind Whiskeywealth over C&D in February. The selection has been let down by his jumping on both outings since but given a clear round appears on a favourable mark. Red Striker has completed the hat-trick of winning on the Flat, a hurdle and a chase and comes here on the back of a promising third to Ernie From Nurney in a 25-runner handicap at this venue. Answering justified favouritism in a Thurles maiden last month and rates a threat along with Cheerful Chap who beat all bar Clonbury Bridge in a 20-runner 2m4f Cork handicap last month. Clarens has disappointed twice since a promising second at Navan, but the booking of Jack Kennedy is interesting.

VERBAL SPARRING had an excuse last time and had been knocking on the door in similar company prior to that so he gets the nod. Recent course third Red Striker is next on the list ahead of Cheerful Chap who made a positive start for new trainer Philip Rothwell when second at Cork last month. Last-time-out Thurles maiden winner Answering also makes the shortlist.

Jumping is a concern for potential supporters of VERBAL SPARRING but he looks capable of winning off this mark if he can avoid error

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Bravo Zulu and Arisaig both arrive on the back of a victory in novice company on the all-weather and they are very interesting now tried in a handicap, but possibly not as much as CROWN ESTATE. Following wind and gelding operations, John and Thady Gosden's charge built on his juvenile promise with a facile 1m maiden success at Newcastle last month and a mark of 84 looks workable given his scope for further improvement. Broadway Act ended last season with a decent third off this mark in a 7f handicap here and Charlie Appleby's gelding must be considered closely on his return.

A typically warm-looking 3-y-o handicap for this meeting. GRAND KARAT ran well when placed behind some very useful sorts on his final 2 outings last season so an opening mark of 80 could prove generous. Break The Bank should have more to come on the back of his impressive Kempton handicap debut success and is second choice ahead of Godolphin's Broadway Act, a course winner at 2.

Grand Karat is a tempting option but preference is for BREAK THE BANK who won on his handicap debut at Kempton three weeks ago.

Now that the penny has dropped for WONDERWEASLE after a taking success over C&D last month, there should be more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off a 3lb higher mark. A consistent sort up until a disappointing performance at Chepstow when upped in grade last time, Followango is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Bert Wilson, who is just 1lb above his last winning mark and fell when still in contention on his latest outing.

FOLLOWANGO looked promising before a respectable handicap debut at Chepstow last time and she looks feasibly treated based on her bumper form, so she gets the nod over last-time-out C&D winner Wonderweasle. Hermes Le Gris is a potential player if back on track.

A few with chances but GHOST HUNTER appeals as a likely improver now going into handicap company so Warren Greatrex's 5yo gets the nod

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

DR EGGMAN was a useful sort in bumpers winning at Ballinrobe and was switched to hurdles this winter when placed twice behind useful sorts at Navan. The keen running gelding, who is now fitted with a hood for the first time, had Big Stage over four lengths back in third when again filling the runner-up spot at Punchestown last time and could be difficult to beat if tidying up his jumping. Born Braver won twice in point-to-points before joining Gavin Cromwell this year and now drops in trip after his second to Kinturk Kalanisi on hurdle debut at Navan. The Story So Far and Ayiko are two bumper winners with hurdle experience to consider.

DR EGGMAN pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Punchestown last time and looks the one to beat. Born Braver and Big Stage look the likeliest dangers.

Although on the verge of becoming frustrating, DR EGGMAN faces his easiest assignment to date and the new hood looks a good move.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

AERION POWER was last seen finishing third over a mile at Ascot in September, form which has been well advertised by the winner since, and having his first start since being gelded off a 2lb higher mark, he shades preference. Slipofthepen doubtless has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature, though he showed signs of inexperience when being turned over at short odds in a Sandown Listed race last May and he will need to be at the top of his game to score against some street-wise handicappers. Daysofourlives and Majestic both have winning form over further and they should be staying on when others have cried enough.

Not an easy puzzle to solve, with several making significant appeal. BENACRE's form dipped following a promising start to last season but he has edged down the weights as a result and there was plenty of encouragement in his reappearance third on the all-weather. He gets the nod ahead of last year's winner Bopedro and unexposed handicap debutant Slipofthepen. Aerion Power and Majestic are effective in these big-field scenarios and should be in the mix, while Bodorgan is also worth a second look.

Topweight BOPEDRO has an excellent record on the two Newmarket courses, including a win in this race last year, and he earns the vote.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Twice a winner here over hurdles, it is difficult to oppose PILGRIMS KING, who has made a strong start to racing back over fences and did well when rallying late for second in a higher grade at Haydock last month. Peter Bowen's charge is preferred to Out Of Focus, who was an eye-catcher on his chase debut at Hereford when keeping on late for fourth over 2m. Kap Chidley hasn't shown much since finishing second at Uttoxeter last October, though dropping in trip could aid his cause.

Having shaped with encouragement on his chase debut at Hereford, OUT OF FOCUS could be the answer here with improvement likely now moving back up in trip. Pilgrims King has been in good form since the turn of the year and, with Kap Chidley needing to bounce back following a couple of below par efforts, he is second choice.

Pilgrims King is solid but bOUT OF FOCUS\p could quite easily step up on an encouraging chase debut now back at 2m3f.

THREE IN A ROW might provide veteran trainer Arthur Moore with a winner. The Flemensfirth gelding has run two solid races in handicaps at this track, most recently when fifth in a big field over this trip. He's slightly up in grade on this occasion but has scope for improvement and may be able to cope with the rise in class. Iron Allen was a maiden winner over course and distance before Christmas and the runner-up has performed well in handicaps since then. Not seen since running over fences at Cork in January, he could be on a decent mark if he's on top of his game after that lay-off. Downtherefordancin went close over 2m4f at Punchestown in October. He's another returning from a break but would have claims if returning to his best.

THREE IN A ROW has more to offer and can open his account here if he stays. Iron Allen and Run For Harry are a couple of the other key players.

This looks like a good opportunity for the locally-trained THREE IN A ROW to make the breakthrough on his third handicap attempt.

In what should be an informative affair with a view to the first Classic of the season, BOILING POINT may prove too hot for these rivals. Roger Varian's charge kicked clear of the field before being caught in the shadows of the post in a Group 3 over C&D in September, and it would be no surprise if he were to go one place better. Bold Style impressed when scoring over a mile at Chelmsford in December and he warrants respect for the in-form Charlie Appleby yard, while the more experienced Ten Bob Tony also commands attention.

BOILING POINT sets the bar quite high on his near miss in a C&D Group 3 last autumn and gets the vote. Starlore can easily be forgiven his final run at 2 and displayed plenty of promise prior to that so he's feared most ahead of Bold Style.

The Roger Varian-trained BOILING POINT went very close in a Group 3 over C&D last September and sets a strong standard.

WIDE TO WEST was one of only two to finish in a gruelling contest at Southwell last month and, as long as he is over those exertions, this looks like an ideal opportunity for the seven-year-old to get off the mark. Grizzly James is one to be interested in despite the recent form of his stable, while Frankie Faulkner cannot be ruled out either if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish an encouraging third at Musselburgh on his penultimate start.

A lesser effort over hurdles last time needs forgiving but FRANKIE FAULKNER has dipped to a good mark judged on the form he was showing over fences in the autumn and might prove the answer for last year's winning yard. Wide to West has been runner-up the last twice and should figure promisingly again, while Grizzly James could also have a say if bouncing back from his latest Hereford no show.

This looks a good opportunity for WIDE TO WEST (nap) to get off the mark after posting two second placings since wearing blinkers.

Paul Townend rode COILLTE ARIS for the first time in a 2m handicap at this venue earlier in the month and takes the mount again. Fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time on that occasion, the Soldier Of Fortune mare kept on steadily to take fourth spot in a big field and stepping up in trip should be to her advantage. That was her first run since January so she's entitled to improve for the outing. Shana Cloon has been most consistent in similar contests without managing to get her head in front. Beaten less than a length at Cork last time, she continues to edge up in the ratings but looks likely to go close again. The Big Cloud made the breakthrough over 2m at Limerick last week and turns out again quickly under a mandatory penalty. She has placed form over this trip and has to enter calculations.

REBEL COWGIRL impressed with the way she travelled when second on her Down Royal handicap debut last month and can build on that promise and go one better now. Second choice is Coillte Aris who shaped as if this return to further would suit when fourth on her 2m course handicap debut and it's interesting that Paul Townend retains the ride. Shana Cloon and Gold Haven were second and third in the same race at Cork last month and should also have a say.

The Townend touch triggered something better from COILLTE ARIS here 12 days ago and this longer trip is likely to benefit.

In what looks a trappy affair on paper, the tentative vote goes to MANHATTAN MIRAGE. He readily pulled clear with the eventual winner when finishing second over 7f at Doncaster last month and that match-fitness can stand him in good stead against some less exposed rivals. Creative Story also merits consideration after finishing second behind a subsequent winner on his debut over a mile at Kempton in February, while Kikkuli completes the shortlist on the evidence of his fine runner-up effort over C&D when last seen in November.

Frankel's half-brother KIKKULI made a fine impression on his debut here last November and is fancied to get off the mark at the second attempt. Creative Story and Manhattan Mirage are feared most in what should prove an informative contest.

There's lots to like about the potential of KIKKULI, a half-brother to Frankel whose debut effort here in November looks good now.

DENEMETHY impressed when scoring with consummate ease over 1m7f at Wincanton on his first start after wind surgery last month, and it would be no surprise if Fergal O'Brien's charge were to bring up the double. If Panjari returns to the sort of form which saw him run out a comfortable winner over 2m at Musselburgh on his penultimate start, he may emerge as the main danger, but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him. Dartmoor Pirate completes the shortlist.

DARTMOOR PIRATE improved when fourth in a competitive handicap at Sandown last time and he's worth a chance to double his tally back in novice company/trip for all that Patriotik and Panjari are formidable dangers. Last-time-out winner Denemethy is also open to more progress.

Preference is for DARTMOOR PIRATE who reverts to novice company after a fine fourth in a big-field Sandown handicap (form franked).

CHOSEN SHANT is a longstanding maiden but has run well several times at this venue and would be a deserving winner. Ciaran Murphy's mare was runner-up in big-field contests here over 2m on her latest two starts and may be suited by stepping back up in trip. Ladyeze Man went down by only a neck on his handicap debut over this trip at Cork in the autumn. Running for the first time since then, he was down the field at this venue earlier in the month but should be sharper for that comeback run and stepping back up in trip will help. King Kali attracted market support and ran a good race on handicap debut over course and distance earlier in the month when finishing sixth in a big field and is another that is open to improvement.

EARLY ARRIVAL returned to form when second in a big-field handicap here recently and he is taken to go one better this time. Chosen Shant is 0-20 over hurdles but has performed with credit at this course the last twice and he is next on the list ahead of Rideau Canal, who also put in a good shift here on his latest start but that was over a year ago. A Mere Bagatelle and The Niffler are both worth considering, too.

It probably makes sense to focus on those who were competitive last time out and CHOSEN SHANT is regularly knocking on the door.

The Richard Hughes stable can do little wrong at present and his BRUNEL NATION looks one to keep on side following a comfortable success over 6f at Chelmsford last month. A 9lb rise may appear harsh, but the son of Sioux Nation should improve for going back up in trip and is narrowly preferred to top-weight Eye Of Dubai, who makes his handicap bow following an easy success at Catterick on heavy ground. The Bitter Moose arrives on a hat-trick and is likely to be thereabouts, along with the returning Double Jump and Indivar.

The useful-looking BRUNEL NATION took a sizeable step forward when scoring at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and Richard Hughes' gelding is fancied to take advantage of his race fitness to follow up. Eye of Dubai enters handicaps on a fair looking mark and could prove the main danger, whilst Bonaventure also strikes as one who should prove capable of better in this sphere.

The vote goes to BRUNEL NATION who improved plenty when winning easily at Chelmsford last month. He can build on that.

MAHLAND has hit the crossbar on his last couple of starts, and he gets the vote to gain a well-deserved victory. Mel Rowley's charge found himself tapped for toe at a crucial stage before staying on into second over an extended 2m5f at Exeter last month and, nudged up 3lb back up to 3m, he edges preference. Better can be expected from Thunderclap, who finished down the field over 2m5f at Kempton in a stronger race than this most recently, while the reapplication of cheekpieces can help Longshanks.

MAHLAND has few miles on the clock and made an encouraging switch to handicapping at Exeter last month. He can get off the mark. Fevertre and Longshanks should also go well.

This is competitive and open. MAHLAND is a different proposition now than when behind Minella Blueway in a maiden.

After not getting home over the extended 2m here, MIDNIGHT LION relished the drop back in trip when staying on to win well over 1m2f at this venue last week and this extra yardage should be no issue on that evidence. A 5lb penalty puts Iain Jardine's gelding on a mark of 67 for his double bid, but he was rated 81 after landing a Goodwood maiden last summer and still looks feasibly treated. Gastronomy was only denied by a neck over this C&D last Monday and he appears to be the main threat off the same mark, although Extinction is also respected on the back of a near-miss at Southwell.

GASTRONOMY has slipped in the weights since joining Philip Kirby and shaped encouragingly here last week, going down only to a better positioned rival, so just gets the verdict over the penalised Midnight Lion. Extinction can complete the placings.

Unexposed over this trip, EXTINCTION's comeback second three weeks ago has worked out well since. Gastronomy is next best.

Noel Meade's Flat horses are in decent nick and he has a chance of landing this bumper with the debutant BLUE MOSQUE who is interesting on pedigree. The daughter of Berkshire is related to a couple of useful performers for the Meade yard in Sixshooter and She's A Star, both of which were successful in bumpers. Crescent Moon is from a useful French family and was ridden by Declan Lavery when finishing runner-up in a point-to point at Lisronagh in February. She has since switched from Ian Donoghue's yard to Gavin Cromwell and looks a leading contender. Dee's Getaway, out of a bumper-winning half-sister to Ferny Hollow, cost 42,000 Euros as a three-year-old and the booking of Finny Maguire catches the eye. Dream On Baby, out of a bumper winner from the family of Wichita Lineman and Rhinestone Cowboy, is another noteworthy newcomer.

Quite a few interesting ones here, with CRESCENT MOON, Blue Mosque and Dream On Baby appealing newcomers and selected as the three against the field before market clues.

The experience gained by CRESCENT MOON in a point-to-point may prove crucial in a race involving several well-related fillies

A revelation when stepped up to this distance at Chelmsford last October, PRESSURE'S ON was value for much more than the winning margin suggests when hanging left inside the final furlong that day and a 2lb rise could prove lenient. The booking of Ryan Moore is another plus and he may have just enough to see off the well-bred Spun To Gold, who was last seen winning a Chelmsford maiden over this trip in October and must be of interest from a mark of 79 on his handicap debut. Course winner Flag Of St George and Our Havana are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

SPUN TO GOLD quickly got back on track when winning a 5-runner maiden at Chelmsford in October and with his pedigree suggesting he will go on improving this year, Andrew Balding's charge makes a good deal of appeal on return/handicap debut. Pressure's On, a winner on his final start as a 2-y-o, is also worth a look partnered by Ryan Moore. Runaround Sioux and Our Havana are others to note.

The two likeliest improvers are the lightly raced OUR HAVANA and Spun To Gold. Richard Fahey's charge edges preference.

Point-to-point winner MULINAS was sent off a warm order when finishing second on his Rules debut at Chepstow and the suspicion is Paul Nicholls' charge wasn't seen to best effect in that tactically-run affair. He gets the vote to go one place better this time around. As Legends Have It should strip fitter for his second in a Stratford bumper last month and can give the selection most to think about for the in-form Ben Pauling team. 37,000-euro purchase Johnny Boy also warrants respect.

It's likely that AS LEGENDS HAVE IT and Mulinas will come to the fore in this bumper. They both hit the crossbar on their respective Rules debuts at Stratford and Chepstow, and the former is marginally preferred. Newcomer Johnny Boy will be of interest if the market vibes are positive, while point winner Boyles Hill is by no means ruled out.

A few with chances but Ben Pauling's AS LEGENDS HAVE IT made a promising bumper debut when second at Stratford and can go one better.

We Still Believe has been running well in defeat and should have his say again, but he has no margin for error off top weight and was behind the reopposing Scarriff (second) when fourth over this C&D last week. MARTIN'S BRIG may be better treated at present and he is taken to record a second course victory. Having only gone up 2lb for a 1m success here last month, he found 7f too sharp last time and should be much better suited by this longer trip.

WE STILL BELIEVE has a pretty solid record over this C&D and is taken to turn the tables on Scarriff, who was ahead of him in second over C&D last week. Hot Team ran well at Catterick a couple of weeks ago and is also on the shortlist along with Martin's Brig, who goes well here but has stamina to prove over this distance.

Money for Federated would be interesting but otherwise SCARRIFF is given the chance to build on last Monday's big-priced second.

ABRUZZO MIA only missed out on a C&D double by a neck when runner-up last time and although he has gone up 2lb for that effort, the form has been boosted by the fourth and sixth winning since. The Michael Dods-trained gelding looks set for another bold bid, but Waiting All Night should pose a big threat if coming on for an encouraging third at Southwell on his seasonal reappearance three weeks ago. Bicep also returned with a promising effort at that same venue and he could improve for that pipe-opener too.

PRAIRIE FALCON is well treated on his best form and shaped well when second over C&D last time, so he's preferred to Bicep, who also only found one too good on his latest outing. Abruzzio Mia, a stablemate of the selection, is another one to consider.

The selection is BICEP who has winning form over C&D and went close on his reappearance at Southwell last month.

He boasts enough speed to be able to cope with this drop to the minimum trip and makes more appeal than Karl Burke's Southwell scorer Indicate. You can throw Queen's Guard into the mix as well.

DYRHOLAEY maintained his 100% record and took his form up a notch when running out an authoritative winner at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago. The drop to the minimum trip will hold no fears on that evidence and he looks a big player again despite conceding weight all round. Indicate proved a different proposition on his return and is considered with the prospect of more to come, whilst Queen's Guard and Exceed Now are others worth a second look.

Dyrholaey may be up to defying a double-penalty down to 5f but is taken on with EXCEED NOW, who shaped nicely on debut last autumn.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The eye is immediately drawn to TEN DIMES and she should take some stopping for a powerful Newmarket yard. The daughter of No Nay Never was restless in the stalls here on debut in November and did well to claim a silver medal on that occasion. She has been given plenty of time and should be more streetwise now, so she can get the better of Radiant Beauty and newcomer Nartaji.

TEN DIMES made a very promising start here in November and will be hard to beat in a thin fillies' maiden with improvement surely in the offing for her top yard. Nartaji is an interesting newcomer, while Radiant Beauty is another one open to progress second time up.

Not much went right for TEN DIMES on debut here late last year and she sets a good standard. Nartaji is an interesting newcomer.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Brother Dave commands plenty of respect lining up in search of a three-timer, while course winner Absolute Dream has been in good nick and joins Brother Dave's stable companion Rockin Rosa on the shortlist. The verdict is for WALLAROO, though, as he produced a much better effort at Wolverhampton when third latest and might just appreciate dropping back to 7f if getting on the front end.

Ruth Carr could hold the key to this race with her representatives ROCKIN ROSA and Brother Dave both holding strong claims. It's no great surprise that James Sullivan has opted to ride the hat-trick seeking Brother Dave but Rockin Rosa shaped really well back from a break at Southwell and she could be the answer. Angel of Antrim is a live candidate and is best of the rest, albeit Absolute Dream is also worthy of respect.

It may be worth chancing TILLYBOB who is much less exposed than her rivals. She would have finished closer with a clear run last time.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

MINERS GAMBLE arrives off an unchanged mark following a highly encouraging handicap debut over C&D last month, when staying on for a close-up third. Brian Ellison's charge looks primed to strike on this occasion and he may have too much again for Miss Rainbow (fifth), who has just over two lengths to make up with him from that most recent clash. Gloves is one to monitor for market support on her first start for new connections, while Exponential should be suited by stepping up in trip.

MINERS GAMBLE kept on strongly from an unpromising position when third over C&D last time and, with scope for further improvement, he's preferred to Exponential, who remains with potential. Tees Douge could make his presence felt if in the mood.

After a solid C&D comeback MINERS GAMBLE (nap) gets the nod. Cuban Storm and Notion In Motion are worth tracking in the market.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A switch in stables only seemed to improve BADOSA further when scoring over C&D last month and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent her from landing the hat-trick. That may be at the main expense of the returning Southwell winner Brummell and the promising Forever Eighteen, who was getting the hang of things at the end of last season. Not beaten far over 7f at Wolverhampton last time out, Wren Officer may be suited by dropping back in trip if getting a strong pace to aim at.

The vote goes to WREN OFFICER, who is only 2 lb above the mark off which she was successful here in January and her latest effort at Wolverhampton was eye-catching. Badosa made a winning start for this yard over C&D last month and she looks a big threat, while Forever Eighteen is also shortlisted.

The choice is BADOSA who can complete the hat-trick after having made a successful stable debut over C&D last month.

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.

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.
