3 3rd (1) (3.6/1 -3%) Boulivar	3.6/1(-3%)	(1) Boulivar 3.6/1, C&D winner on debut in February but did too much too soon when fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 15/8) 33 days ago. Still ranks high on the shortlist.

13:50 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (6/1 +14%) Repertoire	6/1(+14%)	(6) Repertoire 6/1, Solid display when third in this race 12 months ago (doing best of those held up) but ended the year out of sorts, failing to beat a rival on 3 of his last 4 starts. Is operating from career-low mark if a break perks him up.
2 2nd (4) (7/1 -17%) Mostawaa	7/1(-17%)	(4) Mostawaa 7/1, Winner at Kempton (1m) last winter who posted mixed bag on turf/AW last term. Hasn't been operating at his best in couple of starts so far this year but he was second from 7 lb higher in this 12 months ago. Dangerous to discount if getting his own way in front.
3 3rd (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Enough Already	5.5/1(+31%)	(5) Enough Already 5.5/1, Back-to-back winner of 1m handicaps on turf early last year for Lee Carter. Yard debut effort excused and quickly back to best when second at Kempton (1m) 3 weeks ago, coming from further back than the pair he split. Not ruled out.
4 4th (8) (5/1 +17%) Mark Of Respect	5/1(+17%)	(8) Mark Of Respect 5/1, Showed improved form when defying a 5 lb lower mark at Newmarket (1m) in June and consistency hard to knock subsequently, finding only one too good on return at Windsor (1m) 23 days ago. Should continue in form.
5th 5th (7) (3.5/1 +36%) Hathlool	3.5/1(+36%)	(7) Hathlool 3.5/1, Bagged third victory for Mick Appleby when dead-heating at Newcastle (10f) and he arrives having run well despite proving a bit too keen when third at Doncaster (10.2f) on Saturday. Remains of interest dropping back to 1m.
6th 6th (1) (10/1 -122%) Good Birthday	10/1(-122%)	(1) Good Birthday 10/1, Landed Zetland Gold Cup last May and took another good pot at Doncaster (10.2f) in July. Ended campaign with a solid third in a class 2 York handicap (10.2f) in October and not discounted on return with promising apprentice taking off valuable 7 lb.
7th 7th (2) (4.5/1 -64%) Tahitian Prince	4.5/1(-64%)	(2) Tahitian Prince 4.5/1, Enjoyed a very productive 2021, bagging fourth victory at Kempton (1m) in September and likely he'd have gone very close again but for being held up in his run over C&D final start. Worth a look on return despite career-high mark.
8th 8th (9) (50/1 -150%) History Writer	50/1(-150%)	(9) History Writer 50/1, Not disgraced when eighth in last season's Victoria Cup but ended time with David Menuisier out of sorts and not threatened in trio of starts on AW for present yard. Can only be watched back on turf.
9th 9th (3) (33/1 -32%) Lyndon B	33/1(-32%)	(3) Lyndon B 33/1, Back to winning ways over this trip at Sandown in July and confirmed himself back in top form when second at Goodwood (9f) in September, no extra only late on. This run may just be needed, however.

2 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +31%) High Security	4.5/1(+31%)	(6) High Security 4.5/1, All the better for reappearance when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Remains 3 lb higher than for Redcar win last backend.
3 3rd (1) (8/1 -140%) Dapper Man	8/1(-140%)	(1) Dapper Man 8/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Might have needed run when 3¼ lengths sixth of 14 to King of Tonga in C&D handicap on reappearance 16 days ago. Bold show likely.
4 4th (2) (16/1 -113%) Lost My Sock	16/1(-113%)	(2) Lost My Sock 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, always behind after slowish start on 5f Musselburgh return 11 days ago. Is fairly handicapped if bouncing back to form, though.
5th 5th (5) (6/1 -50%) Red Walls	6/1(-50%)	(5) Red Walls 6/1, Third AW win since November when shading a tight finish at Wolverhampton (5f) 15 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb so another bold show likely if as effective back on turf.
6th 6th (4) (12/1 -118%) Birkenhead	12/1(-118%)	(4) Birkenhead 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October (final start for Les Eyre). Ran well behind an improver at Southwell last month but not in anything like the same form when down the field in the handicap won by King of Tonga here 16 days ago. Bounce back needed.

3 3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Rozalia	4/1(+0%)	(1) Rozalia 4/1, Fair form when last seen in 2020. Looked in need of stiffer test when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) on latest outing. Returns from 18-month absence.

1 1st (4) (0.44/1 +17%) Yahsat	0.44/1(+17%)	(4) Yahsat 0.44/1, 70,000 gns Dandy Man filly who looked fairly clued up and made an encouraging start to career when edged out close home on debut in a Newmarket maiden (5f) 15 days ago. Likely to improve and experience edge could count for plenty here.

4 4th (2) (18/1 +0%) Sandy Paradise	18/1(+0%)	(2) Sandy Paradise 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, may have needed run when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. Mark still looks stiff and others are more persuasive.
5th 5th (7) (7/1 +42%) Whitcliffe	7/1(+42%)	(7) Whitcliffe 7/1, Fair form in a pair of maidens last summer but has failed to mcatch that level since, including when eighth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft, 17/2) 23 days ago.
6th 6th (3) (11/1 +8%) Young Winston	11/1(+8%)	(3) Young Winston 11/1, Winner at Ripon in September but hasn't shown that form in a pair of starts for this yard, merely passing beaten rivals when seventh of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft, 20/1) 23 days ago.
7th 7th (6) (25/1 -108%) Voodoo Ray	25/1(-108%)	(6) Voodoo Ray 25/1, Didn't show much in 3 starts last season (first 2 for Martin Smith) but may prove capable of better stepping significantly up in trip on handicap debut.

2 2nd (2) (3/1 -9%) Mukaddamah	3/1(-9%)	(2) Mukaddamah 3/1, New Approach filly who overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton in January, staying on to lead final 100 yds after a very slow start. In excellent hands, she's open to significant improvement.

Dam, 1m winner, closely related to smart 7f winner Pearls Galore. Hood a slight concern but she's one to take seriously for red-hot connections on debut.
5th 5th (4) (8/1 +60%) Star From Afarhh	8/1(+60%)	(4) Star From Afarhh 8/1, Farhh filly who won in workmanlike fashion on debut at Newmarket (7f). Unable to justify second favouritism when last in Solario Stakes next start and not up to the task when last of 4 in a similar race to this on her final 2021 start. Others appeal more.
6th 6th (3) (5/1 +0%) Queenlet	5/1(+0%)	(3) Queenlet 5/1, Inexperience evident when ninth in a Newmarket maiden in October but much more clued up just 15 days later when landing minor event at Newbury (8f, heavy). Half-sister to one who was useful and she's likely to develop along similar lines.

Well held in Saudi Arabia on reappearance but major player if back to anywhere near her best.
2 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +61%) Quickthorn	3.5/1(+61%)	(4) Quickthorn 3.5/1, Won Duke of Edinburgh at last year's Royal meeting and went agonisngly close in Ebor at York 2 months later.

Dam ran once. Represents top 2-y-o yard and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.
2 2nd (1) (33/1 -32%) Confederation	33/1(-32%)	(1) Confederation 33/1, Once-raced colt. Last of 12 in minor event at Doncaster (5f, good, 25/1) on debut 32 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that display.
3 3rd (5) (1.2/1 +60%) Favourite Queen	1.2/1(+60%)	(5) Favourite Queen 1.2/1, Foaled February 15. £12,000 yearling. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Ocean Sheridan and 9f-11f winner Deauville Shower, both useful. Top yard can ready a newcomer and she needs close attention in the betting.

2 2nd (3) (1.2/1 +13%) Abbie Power	1.2/1(+13%)	(3) Abbie Power 1.2/1, Disappointed last season after a promising debut but took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Catterick (5f, soft, 16/1) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces applied and looks to have leading claims back in maiden company.

2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 +46%) Full Authority	3.5/1(+46%)	(2) Full Authority 3.5/1, Struggled in a handful of runs for Richard Fahey in Class 2 handicaps over 6f/7f last year. However, has acquitted himself well both starts for new yard this season and possibilities back down in grade/trip here.
3 3rd (11) (12/1 -60%) Pettochside	12/1(-60%)	(11) Pettochside 12/1, Veteran who landed this race off a 3 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Positive start to this season when third at Epsom eight days ago and a reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.
4 4th (8) (16/1 -60%) Phoenix Star	16/1(-60%)	(8) Phoenix Star 16/1, Hit the target twice over 5f last term and put in a good shift back from a break when finding just one too strong at Newcastle last month. Bold show anticipated here off an unchanged mark.
5th 5th (4) (11/1 +45%) Mohareb	11/1(+45%)	(4) Mohareb 11/1, Five-time winner on the AW, the latest off an 8 lb higher mark at Southwell in January. Below par on his last two starts, though, and he has a fair bit to prove now returned to turf.
6th 6th (6) (22/1 +0%) Seneca Chief	22/1(+0%)	(6) Seneca Chief 22/1, Paid his way in 2021, narrowly landing a Salisbury handicap in August and struck again at Sandown the following month. However, lacks a recent run and, in any case, he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now.
7th 7th (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Yazaman	5.5/1(-38%)	(3) Yazaman 5.5/1, Winless following 2-y-o debut success back in 2020 and while his efforts in handicaps at Kempton and Newmarket this year have been creditable, he's not the most reliable of types. One of three representing Robert Cowell.
8th 8th (9) (10/1 -25%) Araifjan	10/1(-25%)	(9) Araifjan 10/1, Opened turf account at Yarmouth in September and also scored twice at Chelmsford in 2021. Recent reappearance third at Wolverhampton (6f) was encouraging and he's not without hope here.
9th 9th (10) (14/1 +22%) Han Solo Berger	14/1(+22%)	(10) Han Solo Berger 14/1, Multiple winner earlier in career, but drew a blank last year and resumed with a low-key effort on recent debut for new yard at Newmarket.
10th 10th (5) (5.5/1 -22%) Devil's Angel	5.5/1(-22%)	(5) Devil's Angel 5.5/1, Found some improvement when bagging handicaps at Newmarket (6f) and Sandown (5f) last summer. Shaped as though close to concert pitch when fifth of 12 at Beverley a fortnight ago and needs considering off the same mark.
11th 11th (1) (16/1 -129%) Mulzim	16/1(-129%)	(1) Mulzim 16/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to register a seventh win at Southwell (5f) in February. Yet to strike on turf, but went close off 7 lb higher at York last spring and he's a must for the shortlist.

4 4th (6) (10/1 +55%) Rocket Dancer	10/1(+55%)	(6) Rocket Dancer 10/1, Now 12 lb lower than when scoring at Newcastle last May but that's because he's rarely threatened since. Would need to see market support to consider.

1 1st (2) (1.38/1 +0%) Roxzoff	1.38/1(+0%)	(2) Roxzoff 1.38/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. Good second of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 6 days ago, just failing. Expected to be bang there.
2 2nd (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Fat Gladiator	2.75/1(+8%)	(3) Fat Gladiator 2.75/1, Promising individual. 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago, driven out. Excellent claims of following up if he takes to the track.
3 3rd (7) (3/1 +33%) Naughty Nadine	3/1(+33%)	(7) Naughty Nadine 3/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Catterick (7f, good) 7 days ago. Consistent so far this year, so likely to be on the premises again.
4 4th (6) (18/1 -29%) King Of War	18/1(-29%)	(6) King Of War 18/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/1) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton. Others are more persuasive.
5th 5th (5) (12/1 -118%) Bascinet	12/1(-118%)	(5) Bascinet 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in maiden (10/1) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on 1st time. With a shrewd stable and bred to better, so he's a notable handicap debutant.
6th 6th (1) (18/1 -50%) Silver Kitten	18/1(-50%)	(1) Silver Kitten 18/1, 4/1, last of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f), folding tamely. Off 172 days. Hard to make a solid case for on reappearance.
7th 7th (4) (150/1 -50%) My Bonnie Lassie	150/1(-50%)	(4) My Bonnie Lassie 150/1, Last of 13 in handicap (100/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 23 days ago. Has plenty to prove at the moment.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (2.2/1 +34%) Showmedemoney	2.2/1(+34%)	(4) Showmedemoney 2.2/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Archie Watson when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 29 days ago, albeit not looking entirely straightforward. Cheekpieces again the headgear of choice and no forlorn hope.
2 2nd (1) (2/1 +0%) Mackenzie Rose	2/1(+0%)	(1) Mackenzie Rose 2/1, Lightly-raced filly who ran well when placed in pair of nurseries at around 7f during second half of last season. May have needed Chelmsford return 12 days ago and improved showing not ruled out back on turf.
3 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Mister Falsetto	3.5/1(+13%)	(5) Mister Falsetto 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran well in a couple of AW contests at 1m prior to seeming unsuited by soft ground at Redcar (10f, soft) 23 days ago, losing place 3f out and soon beaten. Type to bounce back.
4 4th (6) (20/1 -43%) Marilla	20/1(-43%)	(6) Marilla 20/1, Sent off big prices when well held in maiden/novice events on AW/turf in recent weeks. Needs to step up plenty for the quick switch to handicaps.
5th 5th (2) (8.5/1 -70%) Prophesise	8.5/1(-70%)	(2) Prophesise 8.5/1, Showed race-by-race progress in trio of novice/maiden contests on turf/AW last summer, fifth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) in July, his effort flattening out late on. Gelded ahead of return/handicap debut and improvement distinctly possible.
6th 6th (3) (12/1 -41%) Amouge	12/1(-41%)	(3) Amouge 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (8f) 55 days ago, headed under 2f out and soon beaten. Needs to leave that effort in her wake to feature.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (1.2/1 +31%) Allaho	1.2/1(+31%)	(2) Allaho 1.2/1, Outstanding around 2½m, winning the last 2 renewals of the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival by a combined total of 26 lengths. This front-runner will be very tough to beat if anywhere near as effective back up at 3m.
2 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Clan Des Obeaux	5.5/1(+8%)	(3) Clan Des Obeaux 5.5/1, Landed Aintree and Punchestown Grade 1 double last spring (beat Al Boum Photo in this) and looking to repeat the feat having reacted positively to first-time blinkers (retained) to fend off Conflated at Aintree 3 weeks ago. Likely to go well again.
3 3rd (1) (20/1 -11%) Al Boum Photo	20/1(-11%)	(1) Al Boum Photo 20/1, Won Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2019 and 2020 but latest sixth to A Plus Tard in this year's renewal of that race is perhaps a sign that age is catching up with him. Suspicion he'll be vulnerable again.
4 4th (7) (40/1 -60%) Kemboy	40/1(-60%)	(7) Kemboy 40/1, Provided Ruby Walsh with a winner on his final ride when edging out Al Boum Photo in this in 2019. Also landed an Irish Gold Cup last season but he's consistently come up short at the top level this term, 9 lengths third to Clan des Obeaux at Aintree latest. Cheekpieces will need to help.
5th 5th (4) (7/1 +42%) Fakir D'oudairies	7/1(+42%)	(4) Fakir D'oudairies 7/1, Arrives on a Grade 1 hat-trick after wins in Ascot Chase and Melling Chase at Aintree, looking better than ever when quickening 5½ lengths clear of Hitman in latter. A bigger worry than the step back up to 3m is that Allaho has been way too strong for him when they've clashed previously.
6th 6th (5) (5/1 +9%) Galvin	5/1(+9%)	(5) Galvin 5/1, Improved again to collar A Plus Tard on the line in Savills at Leopardstown in December but he was no match for that same rival when fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup since, just lacking a change of gear when it mattered. Similar scenario a possibility here.
7th 7th (9) (20/1 -25%) Tornado Flyer	20/1(-25%)	(9) Tornado Flyer 20/1, Ran the race of his life when proving 9 lengths too strong for Clan des Obeaux in King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. Ran no sort of race in Cheltenham Gold Cup on sole start since, though.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (9/1 -64%) Minella Indo	9/1(-64%)	(8) Minella Indo 9/1, 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner who added to his very good record at the Festival when chasing home stablemate A Plus Tard in this year's renewal of that race. Scored at this meeting in his novice hurdle days. Tongue tied first time. Respected.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (25/1 -25%) Janidil	25/1(-25%)	(6) Janidil 25/1, Top-class chaser, although firmly put in his place by stablemate Allaho at Cheltenham last month. Fell heavily when odds-on for a Fairyhouse Grade 2 since. Back up in trip.

2 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Red Kite	2.5/1(+0%)	(1) Red Kite 2.5/1, Twice-raced colt. 10/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 21 days ago. Improvement may well be forthcoming now faced with a stiffer test.

5th 5th (6) (6/1 +50%) Clotherholme	6/1(+50%)	(6) Clotherholme 6/1, Course winner. 4/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 6 months.
6th 6th (12) (12/1 +40%) Listen Again	12/1(+40%)	(12) Listen Again 12/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Tenth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Redcar (7f, soft) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.
7th 7th (7) (33/1 -32%) Lochnaver	33/1(-32%)	(7) Lochnaver 33/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (50/1) at this course (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, very slowly away.

2 2nd (6) (10/1 +0%) Redemption Day	10/1(+0%)	(6) Redemption Day 10/1, Twice-raced winner in bumpers. Tailed-off thirteenth of 20 to Facile Vega in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy, 7/1) 42 days ago. Remains with potential.

6th 6th (8) (20/1 -11%) Seabank Bistro	20/1(-11%)	(8) Seabank Bistro 20/1, One win from 2 runs last season. 9 lengths fourth of 20 to Facile Vega in Champion Bumper (18/1) at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) 42 days ago. Likely to struggle.

1 1st (2) (1.1/1 +45%) Code Purple	1.1/1(+45%)	(2) Code Purple 1.1/1, Ribchester colt who improved on sole start as a 2-y-o when third in a Pontefract novice (6f) 3 weeks ago, keeping on. That unlikely to prove his limit
3 3rd (3) (80/1 +0%) Hollis Brown	80/1(+0%)	(3) Hollis Brown 80/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eleventh of 13 in minor event at Redcar (7f, soft) in November, losing place halfway. Readily passed over on return.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (12/1 -33%) Royal Rendezvous	12/1(-33%)	(1) Royal Rendezvous 12/1, High-class chaser who followed up last year's Galway Plate victory with success in a Gowran Grade 2 in October. No match for Fakir D'oudairies next start and probably best not judged too harshly on his effort in the Topham at Aintree.
2 2nd (4) (14/1 +13%) Discordantly	14/1(+13%)	(4) Discordantly 14/1, Jumped much better with cheekpieces fitted when resuming winning ways in 21f Leopardstown handicap. Pulled up in Ultima Handicap at Cheltenham next time and brought down in the Topham at Aintree since. Needs to keep the errors at bay.
3 3rd (11) (16/1 -14%) Snugsborough Hall	16/1(-14%)	(11) Snugsborough Hall 16/1, Course winner. 33/1, below form fifteenth of 29 in Topham handicap chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
4 4th (10) (6/1 +8%) Egality Mans	6/1(+8%)	(10) Egality Mans 6/1, Useful chaser who readily justified cramped odds to open chase account in a Wexford maiden (25.5f) in March. Noted finishing with running left when third in a Limerick Grade 3 since and this low-mileage 8-y-o is worth a look now handicapping in this sphere.
5th 5th (3) (1.88/1 +32%) Ciel De Neige	1.88/1(+32%)	(3) Ciel De Neige 1.88/1, Creditable nose second of 5 to French Dynamite in Gr 3 chase at Thurles (18f, good to soft, 4/11) 39 days ago, collared on the line. Remains low-mileage over fences and he may yet have more to offer. Player.
6th 6th (13) (66/1 -136%) R'evelyn Pleasure	66/1(-136%)	(13) R'evelyn Pleasure 66/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford (20f) in April. 9/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Clearly in good heart at present but this understandably more demanding.
7th 7th (7) (14/1 -17%) Cavalry Master	14/1(-17%)	(7) Cavalry Master 14/1, Three wins from 5 runs last season. 28/1, below form eighth of 28 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.2f, soft) in December, ridden before 2f out and weakening. Returns with yard going along nicely and good showing anticipated with cheekpieces/tongue tie added.
8th 8th (6) (18/1 -29%) Rebel Gold	18/1(-29%)	(6) Rebel Gold 18/1, Respectable third of 10 in handicap chase at Gowran (18f, heavy, 3/1) 46 days ago, headed when mistake last. Still, he rates a live each-way player once more.
9th 9th (2) (10/1 +17%) Annamix	10/1(+17%)	(2) Annamix 10/1, Losing run stretches back to November 2020 but he does at least arrive having dispelled a trio of lesser efforts when third in the Topham at Aintree 3 weeks ago. His task now is to back that up here.
10th 10th (9) (50/1 -79%) The West's Awake	50/1(-79%)	(9) The West's Awake 50/1, Course winner. 8/1, 14¼ lengths sixth of 8 to R'evelyn Pleasure in handicap chase at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 26 days ago. That should have put him spot on ahead of this and usual blinkers go back on. Each-way claims.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Foxy Jacks	6.5/1(+46%)	(8) Foxy Jacks 6.5/1, Landed this race 12 months ago and easily best effort since when runner-up at Leopardstown (21.3f) in February. However, jumping has let him down in similarly competitive events since which is a cause for concern here.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (12) (8.5/1 -6%) Fancy Foundations	8.5/1(-6%)	(12) Fancy Foundations 8.5/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season. 14/1, better than bare result when 22¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Lifetime Ambition in Gr 3 chase at Limerick (24.6f, good to soft) 31 days ago, absence/error taking their toll late on. Likely has a bigger effort in his locker now handicapping.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (33/1 -175%) Aramax	33/1(-175%)	(5) Aramax 33/1, Former Fred Winter winner and a course winner but ran poorly in Munster National at Limerick in October. Unseated in Irish National 9 days ago but this drop in trip won't inconvenience him in any case.

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.
