12:10 Sedgefield (Class 5) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2/1 +20%) Zenato	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Zenato 2/1, Returned to form when landing a handicap by a neck off 98 over 2m at Stratford last time; effective at 2m on good ground and should go well. Returned to form to win at Stratford and he's a major player if backing that up.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +27%) Dexter	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Dexter 4/1, Scored by a length off 92 at Cartmel in August; saddle slipped early and he was eased last time, worth ignoring that run; contender. Enjoying a consistent season over fences; excuse last time; leading claims back hurdling.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/4 +44%) Wind Your Neck In	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(4) Wind Your Neck In 9/4, Still green and made mistakes when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m and acts on any ground; jumping remains an issue early in his career but his mark looks fair. Didn't run badly when fifth over C&D on handicap hurdle debut and he could improve for it.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -25%) Dudley's Bar	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Dudley's Bar 20/1, Outpaced and not suited by the soft ground when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here in 2023; has a long absence to overcome and needs to show retained ability. Makes handicap hurdle debut after long absence and is probably best watched.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 -40%) Benefit Ben	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(1) Benefit Ben 7/2, Suited by positive tactics when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 98 over 2m5f at Kelso last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy and good; off a break and may need at 2m, but an obvious player. Returns over a shorter trip and minus headgear but this course winner is still respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -29%) Ambassador	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Ambassador 18/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off 88 at Cartmel in August; made too much use of last time; effective at 2m and remains well treated on old efforts, though inconsistent. Won at Cartmel in August but soundly beaten on his three starts since.

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

A winner over the best part of 2m5f at Kelso in May, Benefit Ben is not certain to appreciate this shorter distance and ZENATO is of more interest. Fergal O'Brien's charge struck over the extended 2m trip at Stratford last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid from the improving four-year-old. Dexter was pulled up after his saddle slipped at Bangor, but had been in decent form over fences before that and is not out of this.

Having been in good form over fences for the majority of this season, DEXTER is taken to make a winning return to hurdles.

1	2 1st (2) (1/4 +31%) Tiptoptim	0.25 1/4(+31%)	(2) Tiptoptim 1/4, From a yard that won this race last year. Ran second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a 2m maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter on good ground last time. Effective over 2m and should improve over further on hurdling form, as suggested by point-to-point efforts. Point/bumper winner; clear second to a subsequent Chelteham winner on hurdle debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -30%) Freshers Week	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(1) Freshers Week 13/2, Produced a very promising debut when winning a novice hurdle at Market Rasen by 3/4l, benefitting from a decent test. Effective over 2 1/2m and likely to progress, with the step up in trip expected to suit. Won tactical, four-runner Market Rasen novice on recent hurdle debut; carries penalty here.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 +0%) Hopeless Dancer	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(3) Hopeless Dancer 11/2, Raced a bit freely but ran to form when second, beaten 3l, in an Amateurs' bumper over 2m at Ffos Las last time. Needs to find plenty more. Placed in all three bumpers and ought to give another good account on hurdle debut.

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

With a small field tactics could be key here, and that points the way to HOPELESS DANCER, who may get an easy time on the front. Freshers Week arrives unbeaten after winning a point-to-point and making a successful debut over hurdles, but his jumping needs improvement and he has to give weight away to all of his rivals. Tiptoptim also has claims if his stamina holds out over this trip.

With the form of last month's Uttoxeter second having worked out very well in the meantime, TIPTOPTIM gets the nod.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +46%) Josh The Boss		1.625 13/8(+46%)																															(1) Josh The Boss 13/8, Conceded first run and ran to form on chase debut when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a beginners' chase over 2m4f at Warwick last time. Likes to make the running, effective over 2 1/2m, and acts on good or good to soft ground. Inconsistent over hurdles but showed promise on first chase start. Useful hurdler at best but was held in a match on chase debut at Warwick on Tuesday.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

SIXMILEBRIDGE was a classy hurdler, winning three times before finishing ninth in the Turners at the Cheltenham Festival in March behind The New Lion. Although likely to be better over further than this in time, a clear round should see him make a winning start to his chasing career. Josh The Boss was also useful over hurdles and will be dangerous if turned out quickly after his defeat in a Warwick match on Tuesday.

Grade 2 hurdle winner SIXMILEBRIDGE is an exciting recruit to fences and this is a good opportuity on his chase debut.

12:37 Clonmel 19f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -50%) Kovanis	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(1) Kovanis 9/2, Finished third, beaten 10l, in a 2m maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m and handles decent ground. A point winner whose debut effort is worth marking up, and he should improve for this step up in trip. Shaped as if this trip will suit on Punchestown debut last month; one to consider.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/4 -17%) I Am Lorenzo	1.75 7/4(-17%)	(6) I Am Lorenzo 7/4, Outclassed when well beaten in the Grade 1 Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle over 2m6f at Leopardstown last time. Had been in good form prior and returns from a long layoff. Looks the one to beat on race times. Smart maiden form last season for Gavin Cromwell; big player for in-form Paul Nolan yard.
3	8 3rd (8) (2/1 +67%) Le Kap	2 2/1(+67%)	(8) Le Kap 2/1, Made a very promising debut when fourth, beaten 11l, in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Trainer in form, effective at 2½m, and his debut form has been franked. Should progress from that run. Encouraging debut back Punchestown run in June; more expected of on return.
4	9 4th (9) (33/1 -83%) Oaks Soldier	33 33/1(-83%)	(9) Oaks Soldier 33/1, Green and made mistakes when third, beaten 15l, in a maiden hurdle here on debut. Effective at around 2½m and handles good ground. Debut form has had knocks, so needs to improve a bit. C&D debut third back in April was encouraging; this looks a stronger maiden though.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/2 -11%) St Lawrence's Well	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(2) St Lawrence's Well 5/2, Produced a very promising debut when second, beaten 15l, in a 3m novice hurdle at Cork. Effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on good ground. A point and bumper winner whose debut form has been franked at Listed level, with more to come over hurdles. Outstayed by a lesser-fancied stablemate over 3m at Cork; drop in trip may suit.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -29%) Kaiser De Chanay	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Kaiser De Chanay 18/1, Ran a promising race when second, beaten 1½l, in a 3m maiden at Turtulla on debut. Returns from a long layoff and wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Needs to find plenty more. Points' second worth a look for market support on rules debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (150/1 +0%) Simple Old Game	150 150/1(+0%)	(10) Simple Old Game 150/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time and has yet to show any meaningful ability. Modest point-to-point form and similarly in maiden hurdles at Limerick and Punchestown.
8th	11 8th (11) (150/1 -50%) Something Simple	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Something Simple 150/1, Outpaced but improved when comfortably held in a 2m1f maiden hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m1f to 2m2f and acts on good or soft ground. Needs further but has plenty to find at this level. Two maiden hurdle efforts don't inspire confidence.
9th	4 9th (4) (300/1 -50%) Casafierna	300 300/1(-50%)	(4) Casafierna 300/1, Finished down the field on return in a bumper at Listowel last time. Usually held up and yet to show any worthwhile ability under rules. Struggled in two bumpers and a Clonmel maiden hurdle; others more likely.
10th	3 10th (3) (250/1 -67%) Apalachiyeats	250 250/1(-67%)	(3) Apalachiyeats 250/1, Never involved when well beaten in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Usually held up and has shown nothing in either a bumper or over hurdles. Tailed-off in a bumper and two maiden hurdles haven't offered much.
11th	12 11th (12) (100/1 +33%) Who's The Dancer	100 100/1(+33%)	(12) Who's The Dancer 100/1, Outpaced and modest on hurdle debut when well beaten in a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Listowel last time. Has modest point form and needs to show more under rules. Never sighted on hurdles debut at Listowel; can only be watched.
5	5 \|RO\| (5) (250/1 -67%) Gethegoodtimesroll	250 250/1(-67%)	(5) Gethegoodtimesroll 250/1, Outpaced and showed little when well beaten in a 2m bumper at Roscommon on his only start. Faces a stiff task. Never sighted on debut in Roscommon bumper; can only be watched now tackling hurdles.

I AM LORENZO hasn't run since struggling at Grade 1 level in February, but has nice ability. Previously trained by Gavin Cromwell, his maiden hurdle form was useful and although his lack of a recent run is a concern, his yard is doing well and he likes soft ground. St Lawrence's Well has a race-fitness advantage and was defeated by a subsequent Listed winner at Cork last time. He drops in distance and competes on softer ground, but should give the selection a race under his 7lb claimer. Kovanis won a Leopardstown bumper last Christmas. but was well enough held on his reappearance at Punchestown last month.

Just denied over this trip at Leopardstown last season for Gavin Cromwell, I AM LORENZO looks the one to beat on his return to action

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/2 +75%) Avalon Beach	5.5 11/2(+75%)	(1) Avalon Beach 11/2, Again didn't find for pressure when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m at Hexham last time. Should be effective from 2m to 2m4f and looks the type to do better in handicaps. Has shown ability on both hurdle starts but he needs to find something extra today.
2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 +25%) Yanka Blue	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Yanka Blue 12/1, Made no impact when up in trip, comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Fontwell last time. Effective up to 2m4f and looks the type to fare better in handicaps. Not devoid of ability but she's yet to threaten and others are preferred.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +18%) Noble George	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(3) Noble George 9/2, A bit below form in a first-time hood when beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden bumper at Doncaster last time, but his bumper form is solid and he's a contender on hurdle debut. Runner-up in two of his three bumpers and he's a half-brother to three hurdle winners.
4	4 4th (4) (4/9 +22%) Swingingonthesteel	0.444444 4/9(+22%)	(4) Swingingonthesteel 4/9, Showed improvement and a good attitude under a penalty when winning a bumper here by 3l last time. Likely to progress further on hurdle debut and has the pick of the form. Two-time bumper winner (including here) who brings potential to this first hurdle start.
5th	2 5th (2) (80/1 -142%) Born Like Me	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Born Like Me 80/1, Probably needed the run when comfortably held in a novice on the Flat over 8f at Newcastle last time. Wears a hood for the first time and, after a short break, faces a stiff task on debut. 4yo who was well beaten at big odds on his two Flat starts; best watched on hurdle debut.

A dual bumper winner, including over this trip here, SWINGINGONTHESTEEL makes most appeal. The form of his latest victory has worked out well and Rebecca Menzies' charge has a leading chance if proving as effective in this sphere. Noble George is another hurdling debutant capable of getting involved, while the rest appear up against it but Yanka Blue is the pick of them.

Having completed a bumper double when winning here in April, SWINGINGONTHESTEEL earns the vote on this hurdle debut.

1	3 1st (3) (7/4 -27%) Ocean Conquest	1.75 7/4(-27%)	(3) Ocean Conquest 7/4, Outpaced but rallied and ran to form when benefiting from a drop in grade to win a novice hurdle here over 2m by a neck last time. Effective at 2m, acts on good ground but is suited by some cut, and should stay further. Won recent 2m novice here; needs a bigger effort today but may still have potential.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 -22%) Diplomatie	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(1) Diplomatie 11/2, Never travelled and had no obvious excuse when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. The trainer is in form and she's effective at 2½m, acting on good to firm, good and good to soft ground. Consistent until that latest effort. Close second over C&D last month but well held since; recent rain a worry.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 -25%) Collingham	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Collingham 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester last time after a short break. Could be competitive if back to form. Not at best for current stable since the summer; reverts to hurdling with a point to prove.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -12%) Cotton End	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Cotton End 28/1, Fell in a novice event over 3m at Cothelstone last time and was regressive when last seen under rules Has poor completion rate in points since last rules run in spring 2024; too risky.
5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 -8%) Sam's Amour	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(2) Sam's Amour 13/2, Never threatened and ran slightly below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester last time. May have more to offer at 3m. Gave good account when second at Newton Abbot in July and is versatile ground-wise.
5	5 \|RR\| (5) (5/4 +55%) Melton Mossy	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(5) Melton Mossy 5/4, Won this race last year. Had too much to do behind an all-the-way winner when down in trip, conceding race fitness and beaten 3¼l off 104 over 2m4f at Ffos Las last time. Usually held up, effective between 2½m and 3m, and could build on that reappearance. Won this in 2024 and returns here after pleasing seasonal debut three weeks ago.

Collingham returns to hurdles after pulling up over fences at Worcester in August, but he has a good record over hurdles and enters the equation off his current mark. Cotton End intrigues returning from the point-to-point field and could surprise a few, but OCEAN CONQUEST is preferred. Upped in trip after winning by a neck here last month, the four-year-old can only improve for his first start in seven months.

Last year's winner MELTON MOSSY (nap) made an encouraging seasonal reappearance last month and remains on a workable mark.

1	2 1st (2) (15/2 -15%) Bowmore	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(2) Bowmore 15/2, Improved back over hurdles when benefitting from a very easy lead, beaten 2l off 122 over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time; effective at 2m on good ground; in form though this looks tougher than latest. More competitive again when second over hurdles (2m) last month; needs to build on that.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 +31%) Believitanducan	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(7) Believitanducan 9/2, Well backed and came clear with the winner when beaten 1/2l off 71 at Kempton last time; in good form over hurdles and likely improved Flat form here; probably more to come. 2-3 over hurdles; tailed off in Grade 2 in the other; should have plenty more to offer.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +26%) Andashan	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Andashan 10/3, Below form and outclassed up in grade when made too much use of and was comfortably held in the Dovecote Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Kempton last time; returns from a long layoff with bit to prove. Free-going sort; heavy defeat in a Grade 2 novice in February but he retains potential.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +0%) Meatloaf	8 8/1(+0%)	(5) Meatloaf 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Aintree on latest start; absent for a very lengthy period but enjoys making the running. Had wind surgery in July 2024 and needs a market check on first run since.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -285%) Sunray Shadow	25 25/1(-285%)	(8) Sunray Shadow 25/1, Made mistakes and finished below form when 12l third in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Market Rasen most recently; returns from a long layoff and has a bit to find. 2-4 and it would be disappointing if he could not prove capable of better.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 -40%) Vocito	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Vocito 28/1, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when 19l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time; enjoys making the running; effective at 2m and suited by a sound surface; in good form since changing yards. 6-49 overall and 4-24 over hurdles, so he's vastly more experienced and exposed than some.
7th	3 7th (3) (3/1 +40%) Inside Man	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Inside Man 3/1, Travelled well and won cosily when landing a handicap by 3l off 120 over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last time; up 3lb and improved again back from a break; trainer in form and progressive at 2m on decent ground. This is more competitive but he scored comfortably latest and looks the type to do better.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 -21%) Celtic Art	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Celtic Art 40/1, Needed the run and may have found the ground a bit quick when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Latest win was in February; needs to run a lot better than he has on last three outings.
9th	12 9th (12) (9/1 -13%) Double Oban	9 9/1(-13%)	(12) Double Oban 9/1, Well handicapped on his recent win when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 103 at Lingfield last time; returns from a long layoff and looks progressive. Won four of last five starts; has to be in calculations despite being off since February.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (9/1 -20%) Maitre En Science	9 9/1(-20%)	(6) Maitre En Science 9/1, Ran to form, just tiring late back from a break after a wind operation when 9l third in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time; now on his second run after the wind op; effective at 2m, suited by cut, and capable of better judged on French form. Better when third of 13 off this mark under Megan Fox at Chepstow (2m, good) last month.
10th	10 10th (10) (25/1 -79%) Notnowlinda	25 25/1(-79%)	(10) Notnowlinda 25/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 116 over 2m5f at Market Rasen last time; on fair mark but absent for a very lengthy period. In good form over 2m-2m4f in spring 2024 when last seen, mostly when amateur ridden.
11th	13 11th (13) (40/1 -21%) Douglas Dc	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Douglas Dc 40/1, Had every chance and ran to form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Worcester latest; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; fair mark though strike rate is a concern.

Lost his way for Gordon Elliott and pulled up on debut for new yard.

Bowmore might go well after returning with a second at Market Rasen over this distance last month, but he has been put up 2lb for that and is yet to win in handicap company. INSIDE MAN is improving all the time and won with plenty in hand at Newton Abbot a couple of months ago. An extra 4lb may not stop him doubling up with the chance of another step forward. Double Oban is upped in class for his seasonal debut after winning four of his last five starts and could also get involved.

It's a tricky choice but BELIEVITANDUCAN might be the one to latch on to, for one of the in-form stables.

Naas bumper winner had excuses at Aintree; the one to beat on hurdles debut in weak maiden.
2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 -38%) Themanintheanorak	22 22/1(-38%)	(7) Themanintheanorak 22/1, Outpaced but ran to form and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Limerick last time; effective at 2 1/2m on good ground; in fair form though this may be on the sharp side. 2m4f bumper winner; two maiden runs ordinary, more likely one for handicaps.

Front-runner placed in maidens at Killarney and Cork over this trip; claims.

Rider reported her a difficult ride at Limerick; seems best watched for now.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 +0%) Hillberry Hill	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Hillberry Hill 20/1, Kingston Hill gelding; the yard can get the odd debut winner; worth watching the betting. Debutant for whom market best guide.

Point-to-point and bumper winner SCOPE TO IMPROVE debuts over hurdles and can continue his yard's good run. Successful in a Necarne point, he scored nicely at Naas in December but disappointed somewhat when racing a little keenly at the Aintree Festival. He will be ready on reappearance and notably receives weight from his principal dangers. Top-weight If You Believe also scored between the flags and although well held in a valuable bumper at Punchestown in April, that is traditionally a strong race. Bumper winner Big Dispute is rated just 104 and while he appears to be better than that mark, might still struggle to win this.

1	4 1st (4) (33/1 +0%) El Muchacho	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) El Muchacho 33/1, Showed little when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Market Rasen most recently. Stays 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good ground, and remains out of form. Continues to drop down the weights but he's struggled for form of late.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 +28%) Largy Train	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Largy Train 13/2, Probably needed the run when well backed and finishing fourth, beaten 33l in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Carlisle last time. Returning from a long layoff; enjoys making the running and had been progressive. Ran just once last season, when stretched by 3m2f; this C&D winner could go well.
3	1 3rd (1) (18/1 -300%) Imperial Rule	18 18/1(-300%)	(1) Imperial Rule 18/1, Ran to form when finishing 8l third in a handicap chase here on his most recent run, seeing out the longer trip. Returns from a long layoff and was progressive beforehand. Returns from absence but 3-6 in chases and could still have more to offer; stable debut.
4	10 4th (10) (11/1 +39%) Kings Justice	11 11/1(+39%)	(10) Kings Justice 11/1, Wanted easier ground when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Suited by this trip and ideally likes some give in the ground. Tailed off when last seen but wind op since and he's dropped to a dangerous mark.
5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 +20%) Beat The Edge	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Beat The Edge 4/1, Probably needed his first run since spring when 23l third in a handicap chase here last time. Effective up to 2m5f, acts on good ground, and more will be needed to win with cheekpieces reapplied. Hard to win with but often runs well and every chance he'll be bang there.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 -40%) Prized Jet	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(2) Prized Jet 7/2, Had every chance when coming down and may well have won a handicap chase here last time. Effective from 2m6f to 3m, acts on good ground, and has yet to complete over fences but holds an obvious chance if getting round. Clear when falling four out here last month; may well make amends off the same mark.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/2 +18%) Get A Superstar	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Get A Superstar 9/2, Below form and made jumping errors when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Catterick last time. Returns from a long layoff; effective between 2m and 2m4f, acts on good and soft ground, and may prefer jumping the other way around. Makes reappearance and can be in the mix if tapping back into his chase debut promise.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 -213%) Diamond Trilogy	25 25/1(-213%)	(8) Diamond Trilogy 25/1, Again showed little and jumped clumsily when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Hexham last time. Has little measurable form and makes his chase debut. Has achieved little thus far but he's a possible improver on today's chase/handicap debut.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (7/2 +89%) Earlofbrackenstown	3.5 7/2(+89%)	(11) Earlofbrackenstown 7/2, Too keen and made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Carlisle last time. Has no worthwhile form over hurdles and makes his chase debut. One to watch in the betting on chase debut but hard to fancy on hurdle form.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (28/1 -12%) Community Rebel	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Community Rebel 28/1, Didn't seem to handle the track when well beaten in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Cartmel last time. Returning from a break; most form at 3m, acts on soft and good to soft ground, and remains out of form. Runner-up in the spring in two of his first three chases but went off the boil in summer.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 -32%) Pure Surf	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Pure Surf 33/1, Possibly felt a busy schedule when pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Hexham last time. Stays 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground, and needs to recapture form after a break. Below par when last seen but ran well last November following a break and is not ruled out.

Regularly placed over these fences, BEAT THE EDGE finished a remote third over C&D on his return from a layoff. That run should have brought him on a good deal and he gets another chance now reunited with Brian Hughes. A return to faster ground will suit Imperial Rule on debut for his new yard, while Prized Jet was in the process of running a big race when falling here last month and could feature for her new trainer.

The mare PRIZED JET was clear when falling four out over C&D last month and can confirm the suspicion she's well treated at present.

Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at around 2m1f and handles cut; joined top connections after that French success, potentially useful.

MOJITO DES MOTTES won his only start in France at Moulins and debuts for Ben Pauling after being purchased by J P McManus. That form has been franked with the runner-up winning his next three starts by wide margins, and he could prove to be an astute purchase. Treasure Planet represents Paul Nicholls, whose horses are beginning to hit top form, and he could prove a danger in receipt of 7lb, leaving the ex-Godolphin owned Modern Style as next best.

Ben Pauling's new recruit MOJITO DES MOTTES beat a rival who has quickly developed into a useful chaser when winning in France.

Joyau Allen is held in some regard at Ditcheat by Paul Nicholls, but as a full-brother to Envoi Allen his future may be over further and a win after 622 days off the track seems a big ask. CAPTAIN HUGO caught the eye winning a bumper at the second attempt by nine lengths at Worcester in May and he could come out in top, with Sinnatra and Alba Crus others to keep an eye on.

Several strikingly promising types may be headed today by CAPTAIN HUGO, Caballero Cliff and Wilstar.

RISING DUST has progressed well and might defy his latest rise in the ratings. His recent form has been on a sound surface, but he does stay very well and remains open to some more improvement, racing from a light weight. Six-time winner Grange Walk has been running well over fences and timber recently and a different 7lb claimer is back on board for his return to hurdling. Intent Approach reappeared following a 528-day layoff at Listowel in September so should improve from that run.

Perhaps INTENT APPROACH may have derived enough benefit from his Listowel return to thwart the hat-trick seeker Rising Dust

ABSOLUTELY DOYEN beat a fairly weak line-up to get off the mark on his first start for Paul Nicholls when sent off at a very short price and there is every chance he has been found a good chance to follow up, even though he has to give weight away. Lowlands showed plenty of improvement to come home fourth at Perth on her first start since wind surgery and could prove a serious danger. The Hawkstonian may chase them home.

EASY BUCKS, who was hampered by a faller when he unseated at Listowel before enduring further misfortune with a relatively soft fall at Hexham last time, could be the answer if negotiating a trouble-free run this time. The small field can help the selection and he can make the most receiving 10lb from his likely main rival, Minniemum. The betting market can guide regarding Concetto, who is a four-time chase winner on his first start after wind surgery.

Back over a far more suitable trip than on her reappearance at Chepstow, MINNIEMUM can make it 3-5 over fences.

A disappointing seventh at Nottingham since, he needs to bounce back but may well do so on his return to this track. Izz'nt She Hot makes her nursery debut after being beaten a short head at Southwell and she could also get involved where it matters, while Likeness is next best.

KHRISMA just failed to reel in the subsequent dual Listed winner Casheldale Lad when runner-up over hurdles at Punchestown in May and she gets the vote on the strength of that form. Jackie Hobbs is a dual bumper winner to note on her hurdling bow, while Pottersville is another to consider on debut for her new yard. Heron In The Park and Hornica are not easily ruled out either.

This field is packed with interest but top of the list has to be KHRISMA, particulary on the strength of her second at Punchestown.

She was keen but improved when landing the WillowWarm Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Fairyhouse over 2m4f by 4 1/2l last time. The top jockey returns, and she continues to progress over fences. Unbeaten winner of three chases including a Grade 1 against geldings, may extend sequence.

SPINDLEBERRY won all three novice chase runs and can confirm February placings with chief rival Bioluminescence. Runner-up at Grade 1 level over hurdles, Willie Mullins' high-class mare took very well to fences last season and concluded with a fine defeat of smart geldings Firefox and Champ Kiely in Fairyhouse's WillowWarm Gold Cup. Bioluminescence conceded 10lb to the selection in the aforementioned February race and although she now receives 2lb, she lacks a little of Spindleberry's ability. Kilbarry Saint should win the chase for the other black-type place.

Grade 1 winner SPINDLEBERRY beat Bioluminescence readily at Fairyhouse last season and may emerge best despite much altered terms

Whatyouwaitingfor has his first start for Charlie Longsdon and arrives with consistent form over hurdles, including a Newton Abbot victory and four seconds. If he takes to fences, he could go close but FIERCE WARRIOR is preferred. The six-year-old also makes his debut over the larger obstacles after winning a decent handicap hurdle at Musselburgh in March and is sure to have been well schooled by Nicky Henderson. Born In The West is one to watch and is expected to improve now chasing.

PARK PRINCESS looked a bright prospect when she was the ready winner of a Newbury bumper in December 2023 before notching a creditable fourth in a Listed race at Market Rasen. Last seen when tilted at the 2024 Nickel Coin bumper at Aintree, this well-bred mare is an intriguing contender resuming from a break on her hurdles debut. Mighty Fleur and Lady Kara are the pick of those with jumping experience but could prove vulnerable if the selection starts to fulfil her potential.

If PARK PRINCESS is sufficiently straight to do herself justice then this useful bumper performer could be too smart for these.

With a lack of winning form to work with Athenian Spirit could prove popular after finishing second at Wolverhampton last month. Upped 3lb for that he will need to find more, and a chance is taken on LORD CLOUGHAN. Upped a furlong for his first start since being gelded, and wearing first-time cheekpieces, a mark of 56 may be low enough to see him mount a serious challenge. Mereside Princess is another to consider in first-time blinkers.

The return to 7f and switch to a minor nursery could see LION OF MALI take a good step forward.

Progressive over fences last season, Haiti Couleurs is not easily overlooked reverting to hurdles for his reappearance. However, it could pay to give another chance to EAST INDIA EXPRESS. The latter was travelling well when falling at Cheltenham on last month's seasonal debut, and Nicky Henderson's inmate has solid claims based on his six-length victory at the same venue in April. A winner at Punchestown when last in action, Thanksforthehelp is another to consider given his trainer has won three of the previous eight renewals.

The 169-rated IL ETAIT TEMPS can take this on the way to a possible tilt at the Tingle Creek at Sandown. He has won five of his seven races over fences, including four at Grade One level. He goes well fresh and should make light of an absence since April when he landed the Celebration Chase. His stablemate Gentleman De Mee is weighted to make a race of it. He was last seen finishing fourth in a Grade 2 on the same Sandown card in April. He doesn't have the same strike rate over fences, but is a worthy opponent. Senecia and former Irish Grand National winner Intense Raffles may have to tussle for third place.

This looks a good opportunity for IL ETAIT TEMPS on seasonal return, although no easy task conceding 9lb to Gentleman De Mee

1	1 \|PU\| (1) (13/2 +41%) Our Laura B	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(1) Our Laura B 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Cartmel after a year off. Acts on any ground and is down in the weights but needs to prove that her ability remains. Pulled up in August after a long absence but on a handy mark and not written off.

Wears hood and tongue-tie for the first time and has plenty to prove with form deteriorating. Tailed off/pulled up in the spring but this point winner is one to watch in the betting.

RULER OF THE RIVER failed to see out 2m7f at Market Rasen but she should do better having won at Plumpton over an extended 2m4f in September, albeit off 5lb lower. Zeezee stayed on to run her best race yet when second over 3m at Perth and she can feature. Point-to-point winner Kimjoy is interesting if a first-time tongue-tie/hood combination and a step up in distance bring improvement.

This may not take much winning and should be a good opportunity for Perth runner-up ZEEZEE (nap) to get off the mark.

Most of these fail to inspire confidence with only a speculative vote going the way of L'EMPIRE VERT. Sheila Lewis' charge finished a close second over hurdles at Ffos Las in March and is likely to prove competitive if producing a similar effort back over the larger obstacles. Formel Park has placed off higher marks over timber and makes more appeal than Outback Frontiers on her chasing bow.

Most of the runners have lots to prove and this looks difficult but OUTBACK FRONTIERS gets the vote ahead of Formel Park.

Molinari won this last year and is back for more off 2lb higher. He can go well once again, but the younger WITHOUT COMPROMISE arrives in good form after a win and a second over C&D on his last two starts. On that evidence, he could take some stopping, while the lightly-raced Berezka is also interesting if a hood helps her to settle.

The well-bred WITHOUT COMPROMISE (nap) has got his act together now and he can record a second C&D success.

LEADER IN THE PARK progressed well over fences during his novice campaign with a brace of victories at Kempton and Warwick. The seven-year-old is expected to put his rivals under pressure on the front end and he may take some stopping if getting into a decent rhythm. Marvel De Cerisy is an interesting contender on his first start for Christian Williams, while Outlaw Peter has dropped to his last winning mark.

The vote goes to Ben Pauling's front-runner LEADER IN THE PARK, who is 2-5 over fences and is open to more progress this season.

The forecast rain won't be welcomed by a lot of these horses. FREMANTLE DOCTOR's best result in this sphere came over a similar trip at Roscommon on soft ground last year when he took the runner-up berth. He was placed over further at Sligo last month and it could be a shrewd move reverting back to this distance. Ballycashin absolutely loves her trips to Clonmel and has a shot at exploiting her lower chase mark, particularly with Anna McGuinness easing the joint top-weight's burden by 7lb. Darragh O'Keeffe is in red-hot form and is set for another good spin on the consistent Onefortheditch. Recent Clonmel winner Kobalt St Georges and Baltinglass Hill will have their supporters.

With Anna McGuinness again claiming 7lb, BALLYCASHIN (nap) has a good chance of adding to a recent handicap hurdle at this venue

Keep On Cobbling landed a maiden hurdle at Stratford back in April and could shape well on her handicap bow. Somebodycomegether arrives on the back of finishing second on the Flat and returns to hurdling with a shout, but VANILLA DANCER may edge affairs.

LTO Selection:

This contest looks to be between the Huntingdon winner BANKATARY and the runner-up Crack Ops. The former is penalised for that debut success, but gave the strong impression there was plenty more left in the locker, and James Owen's charge is taken to go in again. Faithful Guardian's dam is related to a winning hurdler among others and, with Alan King's yard in such fine form, he makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Captain Mainwaring.

Even with the penalty there's a good chance that BANKATARY can confirm Huntingdon places with runner-up Crack Ops.

QUILT showed the most promise of those with racecourse experience when finishing fourth at Kempton on debut. The daughter of Ardad should be a lot wiser for that experience and could be thereabouts at the finish. Emilia Casanova is another likely to improve from a moderate first effort at Leicester, while Fashion People is a newcomer to note given her dam won over this trip as a two-year-old.

Fashion People is a newcomer of note but EMILIA CASANOVA could leave her debut effort well behind her.

WESTERN GEORGE stepped forward from his debut effort here in a valuable contest when placed at Carlisle last month. With a run under his belt already this campaign, that may be used to his advantage. Heaven Can Wait is open to improvement following his fourth at Uttoxeter in March and is now in the care of Fergal O'Brien. The well-bred Turbocharged, Padre Arthur and Looping D'arc appeal most of the newcomers.

The market should be informative but at this stage the vote goes to Dan Skelton's TURBOCHARGED, who is out of a smart bumper winner.

PANJANDRUM was the subject of a positive report in a recent stable tour and could be up to making a winning racecourse debut. He landed a point-to-point in Britain for Gina Andrews last Christmas and was sold at the sales in January before being placed with Gordon Elliott. The softening ground ought to suit him well. Grandy Lane has switched to Gavin Cromwell after being pipped by a head in a Sligo maiden hurdle in May for Ian Donoghue, so is a major player. Hillfort Manor might be one that could improve upon a fourth place at Thurles last month.

Slight preference is for Gigginstown's former Gina Andrews-trained winner PANJANDRUM over Grandy Lane

EMTINAN faced a tough test when fifth in maiden company at York on debut.

Be Patient showed ability when third over C&D on his introduction, while the 550,000gns purchase Glory Of The Seas is preferred to Heraldry and Leonato of the newcomers.

This can got to Roger Varian's newcomer GLORY OF THE SEAS, who takes the eye on pedigree and he'll likely be ready to roll first time.

The last-time-out winners CAPTAIN CAIRNEY (third) and Time For Action (runner-up) are the pair to focus on, with the former shading preference given he had an excuse (stumbled and slowly away) during a previous encounter between the pair at Bath last month. He has a 2lb pull with his old rival and can reverse the form. Lexington Express may improve now he steps up in trip and is suggested as the pick of the rest.

The safest play is CAPTAIN CAIRNEY (nap) who made all for a comfortable success over C&D with two of these behind.

BEACH PARTEE has won two of his four starts since being gelded and has a decent chance of expanding on his recent haul with Luke Morris retaining the ride. Having won over this trip at Bath in September, reverting to 6f shouldn't be an issue for this last-time course winner over 5f. Corniche Girl handles Polytrack and also holds solid claims over this distance. The handicap debutant Ladiapur completes the shortlist.

The solid one here is BEACH PARTEE who is taken to defy the handicapper again and make it two wins in his last three starts.

4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +0%) Urban Dandy	8 8/1(+0%)	(9) Urban Dandy 8/1, Back to form when dropped in trip, beaten 2l off 51 over 7f at Southwell last time. Effective at 7–8f and suited by the all-weather, though has a bit to prove stepping back up in trip. Just in front of a subesquent winner over 7f last time; return to 1m should suit.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 -127%) Weegeebear	25 25/1(-127%)	(10) Weegeebear 25/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 47 over 10f here on his penultimate start but showed little when stepped up in trip last time. Effective from 7–10f on the all-weather. Inconsistent but capable. Isn't the most reliable but won over 1m2f here in September; long way below that last time.
6th	5 6th (5) (40/1 -433%) Without Delay	40 40/1(-433%)	(5) Without Delay 40/1, Too keen and raced a bit wide but back to form when beaten a length off 52 over 7f at Musselburgh last time.

The trainer is in form, and she is effective at 8–9f on the all-weather. Excuses for recent efforts. Knows how to win and latest effort has been franked; one of the likelier winners.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -267%) Beltane	33 33/1(-267%)	(2) Beltane 33/1, Found little when dropped in trip in a reapplied visor, beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at Leicester last time. Has a wide draw and is effective at 7–8f. A little out of form, with cheekpieces back on. Not won for over two years and yet to win on AW; down in grade back on AW; plenty to prove.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 +72%) Nakatomi	14 14/1(+72%)	(7) Nakatomi 14/1, Again made no impact from off the pace, beaten 10l in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton last time. Has a wide draw and is effective over 10–12f on the all-weather, but his form is heading the wrong way. Didn't show much back on AW last time; down again in grade but hard to recommend.
11th	11 11th (11) (100/1 -100%) Bitcoin Profit	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Bitcoin Profit 100/1, Didn't stay when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7–8f on the all-weather, and a slight drop in trip may suit. Infrequent winner who isn't the most consistent; off since April and best watched.
12th	3 12th (3) (28/1 -12%) Four O Sevenseven	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Four O Sevenseven 28/1, Again found little when well beaten in a novice over 7f at Redcar last time. Effective at 7f and acts on good to soft ground. The mark looks stiff for his handicap debut. Regressive form; up in trip for AW/handicap debut but would want to see the cash arrive.

Coramento heads the weights after winning here over 7f in October and he has to be considered off 3lb higher. The four-year-old can go well, but there is every chance that IMOLA can give Joey Ramsden his first winner since returning to the training ranks. Placed on her last three starts, this may be her best chance yet. Without Delay and Concert Boy also make the shortlist.

This can go to WHERE'S THE CRUMPET who ran well behind a subsequent dual winner over C&D last time. He's taken to beat Coramento

STARLIGHT TIME impressively landed a maiden at Epsom on his debut in July and was rested before being pitched into the October Auction Stakes at Newmarket last month. The son of Time Test is bred to be effective on synthetic surfaces and could make a bigger impact here. Timber Twelve's Kempton novice success reads well and he is an obvious danger. Devil's Brigade, Angel Breeze and Zarco also command respect.

This is trappy as the two penalised winners are drawn wide. The newcomer SPIRIT OF ATHENE could be interesting from stall 2.

Catherine Chroi has been nowhere near her best recently, but she has won over C&D three times and is capable on her day off this lowly mark. YELLOW LEMONS looked better suited to this trip when second here last time, after racing over further for her entire career, and she could finally get off the mark for the Katie Scott stable, leaving Colour Code as the pick for third.

The suggestion is BAD HABITS, who has slipped a fair way in the weights and is better than the bare facts of his last run

ABSOLUTE STAR has won two of her three starts so far this year and Roger Varian's filly looks to have even more to offer. She beat the now-absent Kitaro Kich in decisive fashion at Kempton last month and the latter subsequently franked that form when scoring over 7f at the same track. Threatening returns to this shorter trip with a shout off his current mark and is preferred to Shimmering Spin of the rest.

The vote goes to the largely progressive ABSOLUTE STAR. Shimmering Spin may give her most to do.

14th	2 14th (2) (22/1 -10%) Nazca	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Nazca 22/1, Too keen and probably needed the run when well beaten in a handicap here last time. Suited by 6f, acts on all-weather, and his mark continues to fall. Not won for well over a year and mainly well beaten since; easy to take on.

BIBENDUM was slowly away over 5f here last month and did well to be beaten just a nose into second. With an added furlong here, he may be able to go one better. Superior Council is an obvious danger after finishing third and second over C&D on his last two starts and he can be in the mix again, while Pancake completes the shortlist.

This can go to Julie Camacho's BIBENDUM who ran well over 5f at this venue last time and is 3lb ahead of his mark

Effective over 6f to 7f and consistent performer with progressive form. Promise on all three starts, headed only in final stride over C&D latest; can't oppose.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/2 -7%) Al Hofzan	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(1) Al Hofzan 15/2, Modest debut, needed experience when beaten 7 1/4l in a novice at Kempton on debut. Bred to be effective over 7f to 8f and should improve in what looks a weak race. Showed ability when sixth of 12 on 7f Kempton debut; may do better.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 0%) Rory's Royale	7 7/1(0%)	(5) Rory's Royale 7/1, Improved on modest debut when beaten 7l in a novice at Kempton last time. Bred to be effective up to 8f and the type to do better when handicapping over further. Fair fifth (Al Hofzan neck behind) on AW latest but more needed to trouble Freddie's Star.
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 +0%) Potters Prince	100 100/1(+0%)	(4) Potters Prince 100/1, Showed little on debut when well beaten in a novice at Kempton on only start.

5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +0%) Celtic Spirit	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) Celtic Spirit 40/1, Moderate debut when not quick enough, finishing 16l fourth in a novice over 6f at Lingfield first time out. Likely to prefer 7f or further and should do better up in trip. 80-1, achieved little when 16l fourth of five on 6f Lingfield debut 23 days ago.

FREDDIE'S STAR boasts the strongest form on offer and will likely prove a popular choice. The son of Starspangledbanner improves with every start and, having gone agonisingly close when caught on the line by the odds-on favourite over C&D last month, Roger Teal's charge is taken to open his account. There is little between Rory's Royale and Al Hofzan on running at Kempton last time with the former taken to confirm superiority.

Roger Teal's FREDDIE'S STAR sets a clear standard on RPRs and can't be opposed.

Effective at 5f or 6f and acts on any surface. In fine form and respected under a penalty. Thriving 8yo who arrives on hat-trick after three wins in second-half of October.

Effective at 5f or 6f and acts on all-weather. Running well but needs a bit more for a first handicap win. AW novice win; back on form when third in turf sprint handicaps last twice; considered.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 +45%) Wodao	18 18/1(+45%)	(2) Wodao 18/1, Raced wide and below form in new headgear when down the field in a 7f handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 6f and dropping in the weights but still searching for a first win for this yard. Well handicapped but that's as a result of recent efforts being poor.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +44%) Diamond Dreamer	14 14/1(+44%)	(8) Diamond Dreamer 14/1, May have needed his first run since the summer when down the field in a 5f handicap at Bath last time. Suited by 5f and acts on all-weather. Still above last winning mark and the trip may stretch him. Good AW record, includes win and second from two visits here; can't rule out.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -60%) Counsel	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Counsel 16/1, Below form and back up in trip when well beaten in a handicap at Ascot last time, though previously in good form. Top course trainer. Best at 5f but stays up to 7f, acts on all-weather, and the return to this surface looks favourable. Two AW wins in February; given break since lesser run on turf in May and goes well fresh.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 -85%) Bint Havana Gold	12 12/1(-85%)	(9) Bint Havana Gold 12/1, Won going away when back to her summer best, dropping in trip to land a handicap by 3 1/4l off 65 here last time. Effective at 6f or 7f and acts on all-weather. Faces a stiffer task from a higher mark. Good course record but raised 8lb to career-high mark after ready 6f success latest.

Capable of another solid run. Record of 1122 at Chelmsford (7f/1m); 6f turf second shows he's effective over shorter.

LIPSINK continued his good progress when scoring at Wolverhampton to land the treble. Mick Appleby's charge appeared to win with plenty left in the locker on that occasion and a 4lb penalty may not be enough to halt his winning streak. Third behind the selection at Kempton last month, Tyger Bay could prove more of a threat on better terms today, while Azure Zain could also shape well representing last year's winning trainer.

Richard Fahey's strong recent record in this contest earns AZURE ZAIN the vote on the back of two good efforts on turf this autumn.

Came good for this yard over C&D a fortnight ago but 7lb higher now and 8 box isn't ideal.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 0%) Emperor's Son	7 7/1(0%)	(6) Emperor's Son 7/1, Below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Newcastle last time; visor first time; effective at 5f and 6f, probably best on a sound surface; fair mark if bouncing back down in trip.

Last week's turf second was better but beaten just under 4l and more needed to win this.

Level Up needs to bounce back after disappointing when only fifth at Wolverhampton last month. He can still go well reunited with Neil Callan, but a chance is taken on SPEED OF MAAJID, whose speed was blunted by the softer ground when second at Nottingham and Robert Cowell's gelding could surprise back on the all-weather. Mick's Spirit and General Assembly are others to consider.

Mick's Spirit should give it a good shot from the inside stall but narrow preference is for last week's Lingfield second MART.

RENESMEE drops a class ahead of her return to the all-weather and with a win to her name at Lingfield off this mark in August, she is hard to ignore with Kyle McHugh's 7lb claim a bonus. Glorious Kitty deserves a first victory and she can also get involved if staying the extra distance, with Bintazzo one to watch in the markets after being sent off favourite before weakening late on over further at Newcastle in October.

Another chance is given to BINTAZZO who failed to stay when a warm favourite for her handicap debut over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle.

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.
