11:43 Uttoxeter (Class 4) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (11/10 +51%) Largy Force	1.1 11/10(+51%)	(9) Largy Force 11/10, Ran to form on reappearance when beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Warwick last time. Usually held up, effective around 2m4f on soft ground, and though inconsistent, could come on for that return effort. Promising start for new yard with Warwick second 29 days ago; form franked so a player.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +20%) Doyouknowwhatimean	6 6/1(+20%)	(2) Doyouknowwhatimean 6/1, Pulled up in the Summer Plate Handicap Chase at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m and acts on any going, though his current mark looks stiff. Pulled up at Market Rasen in July; starts out for a new yard with more needed.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/4 +89%) Better Off Alone	2.25 9/4(+89%)	(8) Better Off Alone 9/4, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Trainer is in form. Off a short break and effective at 3m with some cut in the ground, but has yet to show his best over fences. Pulled up both runs over fences this term; needs a wind op to spark major improvement.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (11/2 +50%) Politacus	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(7) Politacus 11/2, Flattened out after a late error when fourth, beaten 23l, in a handicap hurdle at Warwick on her latest start. Needed the run after a long layoff and looks a contender starting out over fences off potentially lenient mark. Rusty after 19 months off when fourth at Warwick 29 days ago; no forlorn hope now chasing.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -250%) Lively Citizen	28 28/1(-250%)	(4) Lively Citizen 28/1, Travelled well and ran to form when beaten 3/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Aintree last time. In good form over hurdles and fences; not dismissed. Good second over hurdle at Aintree in May; not discounted back chasing after a break.

LARGY FORCE had to settle for second on her debut for Olly Murphy at Warwick, but the winner has since run well in a stronger race at Cheltenham so the form is probably a bit better than it appeared at the time. The seven-year-old is given another chance in a competitive affair where the opposition is headed by returning pair Lively Citizen and Get Up Mush, with both holding obvious claims. Politacus is another to consider.

The vote goes to LARGY FORCE who shaped well on her debut for Olly Murphy when second at Warwick and can progress to get off the mark

1	4 1st (4) (11/10 -38%) Minella Jury	1.1 11/10(-38%)	(4) Minella Jury 11/10, Needed every yard and improved when winning a bumper at Wexford by a short-head last time; returns from a short break and holds strong claims starting out over hurdles for new yard. Progressive bumper winner in Ireland; likely player starting out in this sphere now.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/2 +44%) Pertemps	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(7) Pertemps 5/2, Ran to the level of his bumper form on hurdle debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Aintree last time; was in good form beforehand, effective at 2m, and should improve slightly for that initial experience. Showed promise when last of six on Aintree hurdling debut; open to progress; well in mix.
3	10 3rd (10) (10/1 +29%) Tales Of Bravery	10 10/1(+29%)	(10) Tales Of Bravery 10/1, Keen and made mistakes, showing greenness when needing the run on hurdle debut and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time; wears a hood for the first time, effective at around 2 1/2m, and likely capable of better for top connections. In need of experience when sixth at Chepstow on hurdling debut; can build on it.
4	12 4th (12) (18/1 -29%) Timmys Jet Away	18 18/1(-29%)	(12) Timmys Jet Away 18/1, Keen and a touch green, needed the run on debut after a wind operation when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time; second run after wind op and likely to need further in time. Had wind op before well-held fifth on Doncaster hurdling debut; could still do better.
5th	3 5th (3) (150/1 +0%) Glenmuick	150 150/1(+0%)	(3) Glenmuick 150/1, Outpaced and produced only a modest effort when down the field in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon last time; trainer in form but improvement is required. Has cut little ice in a bumper and novice hurdles at Warwick/Huntington this term.
6th	14 6th (14) (40/1 +0%) Fine As Wine	40 40/1(+0%)	(14) Fine As Wine 40/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; may need further than 2m and looks up against it. Remote sixth at Bangor on hurdling debut; made frame in Irish points so no forlorn hope.
7th	5 7th (5) (125/1 -89%) Mooserwirt	125 125/1(-89%)	(5) Mooserwirt 125/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective at 3m in points and may find this an inadequate test. A winning pointer but well held in pair of novice hurdles at Newcastle and Bangor.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -60%) Thereyare	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) Thereyare 80/1, Never threatened and was well beaten in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and needs to show much more. Has offered little in a pair of novice hurdles here and at Bangor this season.
9th	8 9th (8) (80/1 -142%) Stay Hopeful	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Stay Hopeful 80/1, Green and made mistakes, never threatening when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; needs improvement and is likely one for further in time. A winning Irish pointer but a well-held eighth at Bangor on his hurdling debut.
13	13 \|F\| (13) (7/2 +50%) Titanium Ring	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(13) Titanium Ring 7/2, Promising debut, possibly hitting the front too soon when runner-up, beaten 6l, in a bumper at Hexham on only start; that form nothing special but may have bit more to offer over hurdles. Promising second in Hexham bumper; very much one to consider now going hurdling.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 -127%) Driver's Pick	50 50/1(-127%)	(2) Driver's Pick 50/1, Had every chance and showed improvement from his debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh most recently; second run after wind operation; stays 2m and effective with give; showed fair flat form in France and is progressing gradually over hurdles. A fair French Flat maiden in 2024; yet to show that form in two hurdles runs this winter.

MINELLA JURY was sold for 80,000 pounds after getting off the mark at Wexford, but connections might have got a bargain because the runner-up came out and won easily at Thurles. As a half-brother to a Group 1 Flat performer in Germany, the five-year-old should be perfectly suited to this trip now he embarks on a hurdling career and he looks quite an exciting prospect. Titanium Ring chased home an unbeaten Dan Skelton representative at Hexham, while Pertemps has a chance if judged on his bumper thirds rather than his ordinary hurdling debut.

Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies' MINELLA JURY looked a good prospect when landing a Wexford bumper and can go in on his hurdles debut.

12:40 Ascot (Class 3) 21f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (14/1 +22%) Whatsupwithyou	14 14/1(+22%)	(4) Whatsupwithyou 14/1, Taken on up front and ran to form when fourth, beaten 9l, in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time; effective over 2 1/2m; veteran who is not always the most willing in a finish. Ended last season in good form but below that level this term; younger rivals preferred.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 -57%) Goodwin	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(6) Goodwin 11/2, Returned to form when suited by a positive ride, landing a handicap hurdle by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Plumpton last time; enjoys making the running; effective 2–2 1/2m on good to soft or good; in form but mark demands more. Made all to land good prize at Plumpton last month and is now 4-11 over hurdles.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 +65%) Punta Del Este	7 7/1(+65%)	(5) Punta Del Este 7/1, Outpaced and continued in poor form for new stable when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time; effective 2–3m and suited by cut; out of form for new yard but mark is dropping. Out of sorts for current stable since February (four runs); revival needed.
4	9 4th (9) (7/2 +56%) The Gray Ghost	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(9) The Gray Ghost 7/2, Ran to form but flattened out late following a wind operation, beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time; trainer in form; second run after wind op; effective 2m–2m4f on good to soft or good; step back up in trip should suit. Not beaten far at Wincanton (1m7f) recently and this move back up in trip will suit.
5th	7 5th (7) (6/1 -20%) El Galactico	6 6/1(-20%)	(7) El Galactico 6/1, Won a novice hurdle at Plumpton by 3 1/2l last time; 2-3 in short career; strong form and remains of interest on handicap debut. Makes handicap debut after winning two four-runner novice races.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 -33%) Mount Anglesby	6 6/1(-33%)	(8) Mount Anglesby 6/1, Improved down in grade to land a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 2–2 1/2m over hurdles and acts on good ground; progressing for new yard. Won here (2m3f) last month and ought to remain very competitive after 3lb rise.
7th	11 7th (11) (25/1 +11%) Lucky One	25 25/1(+11%)	(11) Lucky One 25/1, Had too much to do when ridden to see out the trip and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective at 2 1/2m and suited by cut; fair mark on French form but unreliable. Placed in October, after a break, but this regressive 10yo was safely held last time.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +33%) Samuel Spade	6 6/1(+33%)	(1) Samuel Spade 6/1, Made too much use of and failed to stay when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time; best around 2 1/2m and barely gets 3m; handicapper has relented and drop in trip a plus; interesting back at scene of last win. Won here (2m7f) in February but well below that form on both starts this season.
9th	3 9th (3) (8/1 -33%) Kapal Layar	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Kapal Layar 8/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle most recently; had been in good form beforehand; effective at 2 1/2m and progressive in spring, may stay 3m in time. 2-6 over hurdles; disappointed last month, after a break, but may still have potential.
10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 -67%) Lord Snootie	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Lord Snootie 20/1, Needed the run on chase debut, ran well for a long way until fitness told and finished well beaten in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time; back from a long absence with a bit to find. Off since disappointing chase debut in October 2024; considered only if lively in betting.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 -150%) Godot	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Godot 40/1, Outpaced and a bit below form when second, beaten 22l, in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time; returning from a long layoff; effective 2 1/2m and suited by cut; in fair form but mark probably high enough. Won at Lingfield a year ago but absent since his well-held second there in January.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (50/1 -100%) Moviddy	50 50/1(-100%)	(12) Moviddy 50/1, Disappointing when stepped up in trip, helping set it up for a closer before finishing well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2 1/2–3m; better over fences. Well beaten on both starts this season (chase/hurdle) and evidently not the force of old.

Goodwin and Mount Anglesby both arrive here in winning form and are taken seriously, but the eye is immediately drawn to EL GALACTICO's unexposed profile and there is good reason to side with Neil Mulholland's charge. It was only a four-runner race at Plumpton, but it takes a nice horse to win a novice hurdle under a penalty and he did it really comfortably, proving his versatility trip-wise in the process. He now goes handicapping off 121 and that mark may underestimate the five-year-old.

This longer trip will suit THE GRAY GHOST, who wasn't beaten far over 1m7f at Wincanton recently and has slipped to a good mark.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +56%) Coolanna	3.333333 10/3(+56%)	(3) Coolanna 10/3, Ran to form when second, beaten 6l, in a maiden at Lisronagh last time. The trainer is in form; returning from a long layoff and wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Needs to improve to feature. Two-time point runner-up; makes rules debut in warm little race but she brings potential.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 -50%) Sallyville Lady	3 3/1(-50%)	(6) Sallyville Lady 3/1, Made a promising hurdling debut, just tiring late after racing freely, when 1¼l third in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2m5f and should improve with that initial experience under her belt. Point winner who was third against males on hurdle debut at Warwick; holds leading claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/2 -117%) Future Bucks	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(1) Future Bucks 13/2, Improved on stable debut following a wind operation when winning a novice hurdle at Windsor by 4l last time. This is her second run after the wind operation; effective at 2m and handles ground with cut. Likely to progress further for her new yard. Won on stable debut at Windsor; carries a penalty today but she's a very likeable prospect.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -38%) Afancy Getaway	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) Afancy Getaway 11/2, Showed plenty of promise on debut, possibly getting racing a bit too early, when 23l third in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last time. Effective over 2½m and handles good to soft ground; a point winner who has joined a top yard with more to come. Point winner; well-beaten 3rd on hurdle debut but could be capable of considerably better.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/8 +53%) Mighty Fleur	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(5) Mighty Fleur 15/8, Improved when benefitting from a pace collapse to finish second, beaten 2l, in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time. Wears a visor for the first time; effective around 2½m and acts on good ground. Arrives in good form. Runner-up on last three starts; can go well but others may have greater potential.

The ex-French Future Bucks ran out a decisive winner at Windsor on her first start for the Jamie Snowden team, but will do well to successfully concede her penalty to SALLYVILLE LADY. An impressive winner of a point-to-point, the five-year-old offered encouragement behind a couple of geldings on her hurdling bow at Warwick and can build on that. Afancy Getaway also struck between the flags, but must leave last month's Lingfield effort behind.

Point winner SALLYVILLE LADY made a promising start to her rules career when third against males at Warwick and she earns the vote.

1	8 1st (8) (9/4 +18%) Sound And Vision	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(8) Sound And Vision 9/4, Touch outpaced but finished best for 2l third in a novice at Newcastle most recent run; trainer in form; effective at 5/6f; open to further improvement. Similar form in three Tapeta runs this winter; should be in the thick of it again.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +17%) Von Trotter	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(4) Von Trotter 11/4, Promising debut when runner-up beaten 3 1/2l in a novice at Newcastle only start; effective at 6f; down in trip but good chance. Promising 2nd on Newcastle debut four weeks ago; that form not boosted but can do better.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 +17%) Southern Warrior	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(3) Southern Warrior 15/2, 16 Mar; 38,000gns Cotai Glory colt; dam fair from 6-8f, including as a 2yo; could have a say in a modest enough race on debut. 38,000gns yearling; 1st foal of 6f-1m winner (RPR 73); market instructive in a modest race.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +17%) Riley Rocks	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Riley Rocks 5/1, 22 Apr; 52,000gns Sergei Prokofiev colt; half-brother to Tenaya Canyon, useful at 6f; dam smart at 5f as a 2yo; could play a role on debut. 52,000gns yearling; from a speedy family and starts out in a modest event; interesting.
5th	5 5th (5) (50/1 +0%) Blueaway	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Blueaway 50/1, No chance after lost 10l start, credible effort considering in a novice at Kempton only start; speedily bred and open to improvement. Blew the start and never competitive on this month's Kempton debut (6f); bred to do better.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 -5%) Saxon Prince	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(2) Saxon Prince 7/2, Confirmed debut promise when beaten 3l in a novice here last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 5f; bounce back needed in first-time tongue-tie. Two runs over C&D, shaping okay on each occasion; now tongue tied; one to consider.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -208%) Ealhswith	20 20/1(-208%)	(6) Ealhswith 20/1, Raced too freely when beaten 9l in a novice at Chelmsford last time; sire sprinter, dam stayed 11f; small, needs to settle and looks like one of top yard's lesser lights. Modest form in two 6f fillies' events 194 days apart; now drops in trip.
8th	7 8th (7) (150/1 -275%) Exhibition Match	150 150/1(-275%)	(7) Exhibition Match 150/1, Poor effort when well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; bred for 6f; hood now tried, needs massive improvement. 33-1, slow away and always in rear in a 5f novice at Wolverhampton last month; now hooded.

Von Trotter surpassed market expectations to occupy the runner-up berth on his Newcastle introduction and raced keenly so should appreciate the drop from 6f. The application of a tongue-tie could help Saxon Prince take the necessary step forward, but SOUND AND VISION is getting better with racing and finished third over this trip at Newcastle. If she can just take up a position closer to the early pace, she will be hard to hold out.

Saxon Prince appeals most of those with experience but the speedily bred RILEY ROCKS could be worth chancing on debut.

1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +0%) Crystal Island	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Crystal Island 3/1, Very promising debut effort when winning a maiden at Rathcannon by 3 1/2l. Returns from a long layoff, market can guide on rules debut. Cost £205,000 after Irish point win in April; with top yard for rules career.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 -100%) Off The Jury	4 4/1(-100%)	(9) Off The Jury 4/1, Needed the run and hung under pressure when third, beaten 4 1/2l, in a novice hurdle here last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, his handicap form is strong though he has shown slight signs of temperament. Showed useful placed form for Alan King last season and again ran well over C&D last month.
3	12 3rd (12) (10/1 +60%) West Hill Verde	10 10/1(+60%)	(12) West Hill Verde 10/1, Outpaced but improved from debut when pulling clear with a useful rival, finishing third beaten 12l in a maiden hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m, acts on good to soft, and could progress again over further. Showed clear promise in two 2m Newbury maidens last month but needs to find extra here.
4	7 4th (7) (10/3 +52%) Gaelic Pride	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(7) Gaelic Pride 10/3, Improved for debut experience when second, beaten 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Trainer in form, effective at 2m2f, acts on soft and good to soft; latest form franked at Listed level and should be winning soon. Launched hurdling career with two very creditable seconds this autumn; upped in trip here.
5th	10 5th (10) (66/1 -100%) Seamoon Story	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Seamoon Story 66/1, Keen and outpaced but showed some promise on debut when fourth, beaten 13l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good ground; debut form has been franked and he could be winning soon. Not beaten far when last of four in good course maiden last month but needs to improve.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +10%) Dig Deep	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(5) Dig Deep 9/2, Travelled well and ran to form when just outstayed late, finishing second beaten 3/4l in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and handles soft ground; debut form looks strong and a win should come soon. Runner-up on both hurdling starts; has a bit to find here but still enters calculations.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 +34%) Walk Tall	33 33/1(+34%)	(11) Walk Tall 33/1, Green and made mistakes when needing the run on hurdle debut, well beaten in a novice at Newbury last time. Acts on soft ground; a point winner who may need more time over hurdles. Irish point winner; went close in a bumper last season but well beaten on hurdle debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (250/1 -67%) Charlies Jetaway	250 250/1(-67%)	(2) Charlies Jetaway 250/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced on a modest debut when well held in a novice hurdle at Taunton last time. Handles good ground, the longer trip should help but needs to improve. Placed in two points in May but a well-beaten 50-1 shot on recent rules debut (2m).
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 -25%) Big Ticket	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Big Ticket 5/1, Improved when stepped up in trip under positive handling, finishing second beaten 2l in a novice hurdle here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, and that form looks solid; should remain competitive. Ran to fairly useful level when second on first two hurdling starts, latterly over C&D.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (33/1 +59%) Definite Call	33 33/1(+59%)	(4) Definite Call 33/1, Made a promising hurdle debut when third, beaten 15l, in a maiden at Ffos Las last time. Absent for a long spell but effective at 2 1/2m and acts on any going; should improve for experience and looks a strong stayer likely to get 3m in time. Placed on hurdle debut in November 2023 but returns from long absence in a strong maiden.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 -100%) Les's Destiny Star	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Les's Destiny Star 80/1, Green in front and ran well for a long way on debut when fourth, beaten 6 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Lingfield last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, and still has potential over hurdles. Faded into fourth on hurdle debut at Lingfield and contests stronger race here.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (250/1 -25%) Fury Lad	250 250/1(-25%)	(6) Fury Lad 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton last time and has yet to show much ability under rules. Pulled up when 66-1 for recent hurdle debut.

Crystal Island impressively won a point-to-point in Ireland and now debuts under Rules for the powerful Nicky Henderson yard, so must be taken seriously. Big Ticket and Off The Jury aren't out of this either but the verdict is for GAELIC PRIDE, who has finished runner-up in maiden hurdles at Fontwell and Cheltenham. That latest piece of form at the November fixture reads well and he's the one to beat.

The suggestion is GAELIC PRIDE, who moves up in trip after two creditable efforts over 2m. Big Ticket is second choice.

HOUSE OF HABSBURG missed out by only a head at Warwick on his recent chasing debut. Due to be raised 6lb for that promising effort, he looks to have strong claims, with Sean Bowen's presence another positive. Fat Faced Columbo left his hurdling form behind when narrowly beaten at Exeter on his chasing and handicap bow. He has plenty of scope for further improvement, while Henry Daly has won two of the last three renewals so Mythe Bridge is worth noting.

The nearer to heavy the better for HILL OF TARA, taken to reverse Exeter form with Mythe Bridge and Fat Faced Columbo.

Mr Zippi burst back into life at Newcastle last week but he needs to prove that wasn't a fluke and, in any case, his penalty takes him 2lb above his new mark. ELECTRIC BASS appeared to be rewarded for some fine efforts in defeat at Kempton, only to lose a share of the spoils in the stewards' room. He then performed below expectations at Wolverhampton, but can be forgiven that and gets another chance. Taranjerine, Edwardtheninth and Blue Siam have to enter the equation too.

The lightly raced 3yo MIO AMICO was a close fourth over C&D last month and is taken to get off the mark today.

Stencil finished second in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham last season, but will need to improve on his fencing bow at the same track last month. Harry Cobden keeps the ride, though, and he's fitted with a first-time hood so could step up. Vanderpoel is another to be interested in, but EXCELERO can edge a tight contest while his impressive jumping display at Warwick remains fresh in the memory.

The pick is STENCIL, who did not look out of place in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month and may benefit from the addition of a hood.

NEWPORT has benefited from a change of scenery. He was having only his second start for Iain Jardine when scoring nicely on soft going at Musselburgh and the five-year-old remains of interest for his new yard, despite his 7lb penalty. Little Venice went close at Leicester when last seen on testing ground and she rates the main danger on that evidence. Urblereagh may improve on his handicap debut and could prove the pick of the remainder.

Iain Jardine hasn't had NEWPORT long, so may yet elicit further improvement from him. Thankyouandplease is an obvious threat.

Emma's Letter has been in the thick of the action since a terrible debut and is fancied more than India Gold, who caused a 40/1 shock at Musselburgh. Stay Sharp and Archangel Josepi have claims, but there are a couple of interesting nursery newcomers lurking among the opposition. The application of blinkers should help 110,000gns yearling FLORIDA SUITE harness her true potential and she is preferred to Prancy Peer, who is out of a half-sister to two Classic winners.

Unexposed at a mile, ARCHANGEL JOSEPI can confirm the promise of his latest Newcastle second. My Shagaf may be best of the rest.

TASHAN showed the benefit of his seasonal debut at Chepstow when he got back to winning ways with a tenacious effort at Exeter. With the promise of more to come, this could be within the reach of Emma Lavelle's progressive four-year-old. There are dangers aplenty, however, and the likes of The Hardest Geezer and the returning Let It Rain, along with fellow last-time-out winners Non Stop and He's A Latchico, all have plenty to offer in a wide-open event.

Preference is for PARRAMOUNT, who ran very well behind an unexposed rival at Doncaster last month and remains well handicapped.

DRAYTON FLYER was all the rage for his handicap debut here, but had to make do with second. He appeared to lack a change of gear so the extra couple of furlongs will be to his benefit and those who keep the faith can be rewarded. The strength of Heart Over Head's Market Rasen third has been boosted, while Bobalot had Icaque de L'Isle a couple of lengths behind when filling the same position at Huntingdon. Subtle Fortune landed the mares' novices' hurdle on this card 12 months ago, but hasn't been seen since.

Olly Murphy's DRAYTON FLYER (nap) shaped really well when a clear runner-up on his return here and looks the way to go off the same mark

There are some interesting newcomers going to post here, most notably Ada Rose and Helga, but experience can win the day and RITAAL is the one to be on. She has bumped into a couple of nice prospects in twice finishing second at Wolverhampton and can make it third-time lucky. Chelmsford third Safe Harbor is another to keep an eye on.

This looks ripe for a newcomer and although PENDELLA is drawn wide, she's preferred to Ada Rose.

The winner of three of his six outings over hurdles, NO QUESTIONS ASKED has made a promising start over the larger obstacles. He won over C&D on last month's chasing bow prior to finishing a highly creditable second in Grade 2 company at Newbury and there looks plenty more to come from Ben Pauling's charge. Steel Ally is another smart recruit to the chasing ranks having scored nicely at Carlisle, while Kempton winner Jax Junior may prove the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for JAX JUNIOR (nap), who was impressive at Kempton and is open to further improvement over fences.

GETAWAY WITH YOU is flying and completed a quickfire hat-trick at Lingfield last weekend. His penalty keeps him 4lb below his revised rating and it will be a surprise if he can't continue on his merry way. Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen teamed up to claim this contest last year and will be hoping that wind surgery helps Rock On Tommy, who struck off this mark over C&D in May. Following Chapter should be able to build on a satisfactory handicap debut at Hereford.

Another good opening for the thriving GETAWAY WITH YOU, assuming it's not one race too many for now. Rock On Tommy is next best.

Desert Emperor and Lewis Chalkley teamed up to spring a 22/1 surprise over C&D, but the form is nothing special and MACHETE gets the nod. David O'Meara's six-year-old has progressed steadily since returning from a long spell on the sidelines and came within a neck of justifying favouritism over the extended 1m4f here. He was headed in the dying strides so should appreciate the drop in trip. Popeye Doyle was in good form for Hugo Palmer and switches stables after being bought for 15,000gns.

This is a tight call but last month's C&D winner DESERT EMPEROR gets the vote ahead of Machete and Popeye Doyle.

C&D winner Kodebreaker was back to form with a second at Wolverhampton last time out and is noted along with Imola. A confident vote, though, is for R P MCMURPHY, who justified market support when getting off the mark at Dunstall Park a fortnight ago. He was really impressive that day and likely has a lot more in the locker.

Ribston Pippin can go well back down in trip but R P MCMURPHY (nap), unexposed and progressive, can make light of his 5lb rise.

Trainer in form and returning from a long layoff. Effective at 2–2 1/2m. Irish form not strong and more needed for new yard. Bought for £100,000 after winning at last year's Leopardstown Christmas festival.
15th	3 15th (3) (9/1 -6%) Black Eddy	9 9/1(-6%)	(3) Black Eddy 9/1, Made a very promising debut when winning a bumper at Chepstow by 2 1/4l. Off a short break. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Debut form has knocks and more required up in class. Quite impressive when winning readily at Chepstow for Toby Bulgin in October; new yard.

The winner of an Irish point-to-point, BASS HUNTER made an impressive debut under Rules when beating a subsequent hurdles winner by eight lengths at Newbury. Chris Gordon's charge looks to have a bright future on that evidence and is taken to edge a competitive affair. Black Eddy has switched yards since landing a Chepstow bumper on debut and he can feature, while Sea The Day is preferred of Dan Skelton's three runners. Sappingirl and No Way Jay are others to note.

There is no strong temptation to oppose BASS HUNTER, who created a very good impression when dominating from the front at Newbury.

On his final appearance for John Butler, JUSTMYLUCK proved he handles Tapeta when runner-up at Wolverhampton to a filly who has since made it two from two. Subsequently purchased for 12,000gns, the son of Harry Angel can make the best possible start to life with Linda Perratt. Harlequin Bay also found only one too strong on his latest outing, when keeping on over 5f here, while his stable companion Evolve is a half-brother to classy sprinter Washington Heights so is one to watch on debut.

Top of the list is HARLEQUIN BAY who left his debut form a long way behind when a strong-finishing second over 5f here three weeks ago.

There would be no more deserving winner than LATIN, who really should have more than one success on his CV. That victory came at Bath in September, since when he has hit the crossbar three times before finishing third at Lingfield on Monday. He invariably attracts market attention and will probably do so again, but this time can reward it. Volendam, Ring Of Gold and Al Baahy are feared most.

Latin looks set to go well again but this could the day that VOLENDAM sheds her maiden tag.

WATCHDOG headed the market on his first start following a gelding operation and so nearly justified it at Southwell last week. Richard Fahey turns him out again before his revised rating comes into effect and the move can pay dividends. Grey Horizon has left the Musley Bank handler to join Scott Dixon since a Catterick success and has shown glimpses of ability on the all-weather. Even so, King Victorious is feared most after a couple of placed efforts of late.

The vote goes to WATCHDOG (nap), who was only just caught at Southwell last week and is well treated off on this drop back in trip.

Towerlands proved his 22/1 C&D triumph was no fluke when following up at Lingfield, with Thiscouldbefun and Riyadh Gem trailing in his wake. However, it's possible that fellow hat-trick seeker PRIAPOS is slightly better treated under his penalty. The Phillip Makin-trained gelding has improved no end since running behind Towerlands here back in October, completing a Newcastle brace, and can continue on his upward curve.

Hat-trick seekers Priapos and Towerlands have obvious claims but stepping up in trip could see LEXINGTON JET break his duck.

THIS GUY can gain a deserved success. The Danny Murphy-trained gelding lost out narrowly over C&D last week, when just nailed on the line. He sets the standard with his mark of 75 and his experience looks like a big asset. Sayonara is the potential improver in the field and could be the danger. The Kodiac colt shaped nicely when third to a decent sort in Fox In Flight here 16 days ago, and stepping up in trip may bring improvement. Oasis Dream filly Full Moon Tonight looks like a newcomer to note in the market for trainer Gavin Cromwell.

Beaten just a nose over C&D last time, THIS GUY (nap) can put his experience to good use and gain his first win

GREAT SUCCESS was soon eased when beaten here latest but on the evidence of an encouraging debut third at Pontefract, it is worth giving Richard Fahey's colt another chance. Stretching out in trip might help him and he gets the nod ahead of Thestral, who is entitled to have come forward from his first outing here last month. The sole newcomer Stepanov wouldn't have to be a superstar to get competitive.

Preference is for the sole newcomer STEPANOV. He was bought for 105,000gns last November and Ed Bethell's 2yos have been going well here

Mumayaz reverts to 7f with a shout having scored over a shorter trip here on his penultimate outing. King Of Ithaca showed signs of a return to form when third over C&D, but a chance is taken on MAXIMISING. The son of Circus Maximus posted his best effort so far when third in a decent maiden at Yarmouth back in July and returns to the fray with plenty of scope for improvement now handicapping for the first time.

There was more promise in the latest run of FAR AHEAD than the distance beaten suggests and he can make a successful AW debut.

WEARING STARS ran a big race when third here three weeks ago and can open her account. The Starspangledbanner filly disputed the lead passing the furlong pole before being edged out in a tight finish. The form looks solid, with the fourth narrowly denied here since. Leveraging has improved from run to run and could be the one to give her most to do. The Dandy Man colt wasn't beaten far when sixth here early last month. Pass Me If You Can may improve a bit from his debut and is another to consider.

Going close over C&D last time, WEARING STARS can make the breakthrough here with the form of that last run franked since

Enjoys making the running and is effective at 6f to 7f on all-weather. Needs to bounce back. 0-11 on AW but some good runs here in the autumn and this drop back in trip could assist.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -120%) Maxi Boy	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Maxi Boy 11/1, Produced his best run of 2025 when just denied by 1/2l off 74 here last time. Effective at 7f and handles the all-weather.

Course scorer MAXI BOY returned to form when taking second here 17 days ago and should be bang there at the business end if building on that effort. Consistency wouldn't be his strong point, though, which gives hope to the others and Dandy Magic will be fancied by many to at least hit the frame. Novak likes it here and Forest Caper has been knocking on the door.

The 3yo DANDY MAGIC has been in really good form here on her last two outings and can post her third course win.

The application of a visor appeared to work the oracle for AY GEE ELL here a week ago. He won with any amount in hand over the minimum trip and looks worth sticking with given Ethan Tindall's allowance negates a 6lb penalty. Vince Lombardi arrives in fine fettle and looks a safe proposition to run his race once again, while Blackjack and Tokyo Joe could fight it out for the remaining place.

A visor transformed AY GEE ELL here last week and he can make light of his penalty. Vince Lombardi looks best of the rest.

EHTEYAT ran a couple of solid races over shorter trips after his impressive victory at Listowel. He was most recently seen running a big race to finish third to Slurricane in a competitive event at Galway in late October and should appreciate going further again now. He won twice on the all-weather in England so this surface shouldn't be an issue. Voice Of Reason obviously commands respect having won his last two here. They both came over a mile and a half and this trip is a slight worry. Jerandme is a dual C&D winner and ran well on his return to Dundalk three weeks ago. He's another for the shortlist.

The 11yo JERANDME did well to take third off a steady pace over C&D here last time and he can do better in a more suitably run race

POWERFUL RESPONSE has won at this track previously and it's surely just a matter of time before he gets back in the winning groove judged on a pair of second-placed efforts here last month. Mercurius Power could be one for the each-way player but the main danger is Tasever, who has been running really well without winning here of late.

The vote goes to POWERFUL RESPONSE, who had a near miss over C&D last month and is only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade.

Suited by 6f but gets 7f and acts on the all-weather. Unexposed at 7f and could be running back into form. 100-1 when beaten 2l behind Little Empire in C&D rated race last month; high draw.

NIKKI SWANGO has been in great form here of late and may be able to bag another win before the handicapper gets to grips with her. The Galileo Gold filly was a cosy winner over C&D 16 days ago and is fancied to defy a 7lb rise. Ocean Manifest gained an overdue maiden win here last month and that confidence booster may have done him good. The form has been boosted with the runner-up winning since. Little Empire has posted two solid placed efforts over shorter trips since winning over C&D last month. He's another to consider back at 7f.

PHOENIX PAIRC had excuses when down the field on handicap bow last time and she previously saw off the progressive Ocean Manifest

SHERLOCK has yet get his head in front although not for the want of trying. Kevin Ryan's charge finished runner-up in a tougher handicap over a mile here last time and the application of first-time cheekpieces may bring the modicum of improvement needed to go one better. No Nay Nevermind is another looking to build on a recent second here, while Reenie's Dream will appreciate this return to 7f.

Most of these have plenty to prove but SHERLOCK was a good second over 1m here ten days ago and is a big player if he can back that up.

PRETTY OMAGH GIRL has useful ability and ran well over C&D last month. Out of an American stakes-placed mare, she ran well on her Curragh debut in June and although then absent for 154 days, she returned with a fine effort here. That form is good, with the third scoring subsequently. Leopold The First is well suited by the all-weather and having run well in a recent handicap, should again figure. Carrara showed ability in France and, surely better than her two Irish runs, now debuts on the all-weather.

Dermot Weld's TINA'S CHARM remains of interest in new headgear and the jockey-trainer combination won this corresponding race last year

SHATIN VENTURE landed a classified sprint over C&D back in March. He posted his best effort since when finishing a close third back here last time and the son of Profitable remains of interest off an unchanged mark. Lady Bouquet made all over 6f at Wolverhampton so this shorter trip may not prove too much of an inconvenience, while Ramon Di Loria could make the frame.

Jim Goldie's new recruit WEE MARY didn't get a clear crack at things on her stable debut and can take advantage of an attractive mark.

8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -83%) Independent Expert	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Independent Expert 22/1, Had every chance but below form when beaten 5l in a claimer here last time. Effective at 1m and handles any surface. Back in form prior to latest and has won off a higher mark. In good form here around here recently before disappointing last time; can do better.
9th	9 9th (9) (33/1 -32%) Albion Power	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Albion Power 33/1, No obvious excuse when finishing down the field in a claimer here most recently. Effective over 7–8f and suited by the all-weather. Inconsistent of late. C&D winner in Oct' but ran disappointingly in a claimer here last time; others preferred.
10th	11 10th (11) (33/1 +18%) Solomon Coop	33 33/1(+18%)	(11) Solomon Coop 33/1, Never competitive after missing the break when down the field in a Cork handicap most recently. Off a short break; effective over 8–10f but looks on a stiff mark. Poor in four runs following h'cap success in May; needs to be back at best following break.

FIXATION landed a sizeable gamble for new connections here and can defy a 7lb hike now dropping back in trip. Johnny Murtagh's three-year-old showed nice ability when runner-up at Leopardstown in August, with both the winner and third scoring subsequently. Soft ground might have been his undoing at Cork but having scored on his first run following a break last month, he can continue to progress. Far From Dandy won over C&D last month and having also been raised 7lb, should figure. Oiche Rua scored over 7f here last month but has form at a mile and is another with claims, from a 5lb higher mark.

A lot in with chances, but DIEGO EL QUESO has been in good form over C&D and can bag his second career win

Chief Of State has been thereabouts over 6f on the turf and is no forlorn hope back over the minimum trip. Lady Of The Garr could launch a challenge off her current mark, but it could finally be the turn of LITTLE MI MI. The daughter of Dandy Man has been threatening to open her account of late and, having finished runner-up here last time with Henery Hawk back in fourth, she gets the vote.

Having been knocking firmly at the door, LITTLE MI MI is taken to get off the mark at the 15th attempt. Chief Of State is feared.

On a lengthy losing run but could be running into form at this level. 0-16 on AW but big improvement on latest when runner-up over C&D; remains well treated.
2	10 2nd (10) (50/1 -52%) Waystar	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Waystar 50/1, No obvious excuse when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective from 12f to 13f on a sound surface; currently out of form. Sole win was over C&D in March from 3lb higher mark; recent form leaves much to be desired.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 +0%) Colugo	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Colugo 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Effective from 7f to 11f on all-weather; her latest course and distance run makes her of interest. Hit the front too soon when third over 10.5f here nine days ago; should stay this far.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +0%) Captain Hanley	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Captain Hanley 8/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap at Roscommon last time after a short break. Effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface; in decent form but still a maiden. Okay fifth on penultimate; didn't enjoy soft at Roscommon; chance back on AW.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 +50%) Numidia	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Numidia 5/1, Scored by 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark here on his penultimate start and ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l off 58 last time. Effective up to 16f and acts on all-weather; in good form on the flat though unexposed after long hurdles absence. Won here over 2m last month; good fourth behind Doctor Grace on latest; contender.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +38%) Desert Friend	10 10/1(+38%)	(4) Desert Friend 10/1, Keen and did too much too soon when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 13f and acts on all-weather; has lost his form of late. Fifth behind Numidia here (2m) on latest, racing keenly; not discounted dropping in trip.
7th	1 7th (1) (15/2 +0%) Doctor Grace	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(1) Doctor Grace 15/2, Ran to form in first-time visor when beaten 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in form and effective from 10f to 13f. Acts on all-weather and looks on a good mark if building on her recent revival. Back to form in first-time visor when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago; well treated.
8th	8 8th (8) (6/1 -20%) Aingeal Dorcha	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) Aingeal Dorcha 6/1, Travelled well and was caught late after making a move early when beaten a short head off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 9f to 11f and best on all-weather; a 2lb rise looks lenient and could make amends for unlucky defeat. Headed right on the line when beaten a short head here (10.5f) nine days ago; contender.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 +50%) Synchronize	33 33/1(+50%)	(12) Synchronize 33/1, Poor flat return when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Can do better over middle to staying trips but has a bit to prove down in trip back on all-weather. Well behind in recent hurdle starts and failed to beat a rival home here 2 weeks ago.
10th	11 10th (11) (14/1 -40%) Kartayaz	14 14/1(-40%)	(11) Kartayaz 14/1, Returned to form when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 6f to 12f and acts on all-weather; up 4lb but well treated on best form, a threat though unreliable. First win in 3 years on latest and jockey's first ever winning ride; chance with a repeat.
11th	6 11th (6) (9/4 +84%) Yup Bro	2.25 9/4(+84%)	(6) Yup Bro 9/4, Made late headway and ran to form on handicap debut when fourth, beaten 10l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 10f to 11f and suited by all-weather; down 3lb and not ruled out. Good handicap debut here (10.5f) last month; could have more to offer now upped in trip.
12th	7 12th (7) (33/1 +50%) Lady Christa	33 33/1(+50%)	(7) Lady Christa 33/1, Again below 2024 form when tried in a tongue-tie and beaten 8/4l in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces first time; effective from 10f to 12f; hard to fancy. Won over this trip last year; nothing in four runs for this yard; cheekpieces.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (33/1 +50%) Carslake	33 33/1(+50%)	(13) Carslake 33/1, Did too much too soon when beaten 7l in a claimer here last time. Effective from 12f to 16f and best on all-weather; out of form and impossible to fancy. Longstanding dual-purpose maiden was midfield in C&D claimer nine days ago; hard to fancy.

COLUGO has been running well and it is hoped she can progress now stepping up to this distance. Initially rated 72 back in March, she is well suited by the all-weather and competes from the same rating as when third here nine days ago, but with her rider now claiming 5lb. Rock Ya Boy Ya has shown improvement to complete a hurdling hat-trick but although rated just 41 and partnered by a 10b claimer for this Flat return, he worryingly has failed to place in nine previous all-weather starts. Four-time course winner Kartayaz scored here recently and steps up in trip.

A wide-open affair but perhaps COLUGO can deservedly shed the maiden tag at the 16th time of asking after a couple of strong efforts

Well treated on winter form and could build on his reappearance. Dual C&D winner was a big eyecatcher here after an absence on latest; big chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -69%) Final Voyage	11 11/1(-69%)	(2) Final Voyage 11/1, Outpaced and never threatened when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on all-weather. Generally consistent but needs to improve to defy this mark. All seven wins at 7f-8.5f but usually always runs well and does stay this far; chance.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 -43%) Quatre Bras	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) Quatre Bras 5/1, Won by 3l off a 9lb lower mark here two starts ago. Missed the break and had too much to do when second, beaten 6l off 85 last time. Effective from 8f to 12f and acts on all-weather. Thriving at this venue recently and remains competitive. Didn't see out the 1m4f that well when runner-up to Gaucher on latest; better chance here.
4	3 4th (3) (11/4 +66%) Take Heart	2.75 11/4(+66%)	(3) Take Heart 11/4, Found little after making a move, beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at York last time. Returns from a short break. Effective at 10f and acts on all-weather. Has been in moderate form this year though the handicapper has eased his mark. Won three times for Johnny Murtagh; no show for David Menuisier; market watch advised.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 +63%) Old Peculier	6 6/1(+63%)	(6) Old Peculier 6/1, Raced freely and ran well for a long way when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time, returning from a lengthy layoff. Previously in good form. Effective from 8f to 12f and acts well on all-weather. Could build on his reappearance and looks very interesting. Landed hat-trick here last winter; looked in need of the run after absence on latest.
6th	11 6th (11) (40/1 -43%) Pepper Noir	40 40/1(-43%)	(11) Pepper Noir 40/1, Went clear but made too much use of the early pace and needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and suited by the all-weather. Was in good form before her last couple of runs and has a bit to prove. Could go well from the front with the run under her belt but 3lb wrong at the weights.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 -20%) Nakasero	4 4/1(-20%)	(8) Nakasero 4/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at around 1m and acts on all-weather. Generally consistent though this mark looks a little stiff. Narrowly denied over C&D this month (Genoah fourth); should go well from 1lb higher.
8th	10 8th (10) (25/1 -56%) Money Dancer	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Money Dancer 25/1, Ran to form but was comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Wexford last time. Returns from a short break.

9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 +36%) Beauparc	14 14/1(+36%)	(9) Beauparc 14/1, Had every chance but ran below form when well beaten in a handicap at The Curragh last time. Trainer in form and returns from a break. Effective from 10f to 12f and acts on all-weather. Progressed steadily over middle distances but the handicapper may have caught up. Has impressive form figures on AW so can't discount after a short break; 2lb wrong.
10th	5 10th (5) (20/1 +9%) Loyal Touch	20 20/1(+9%)	(5) Loyal Touch 20/1, Disappointing on stable debut when needing the run, beaten 6l in a claimer here last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and acts on all-weather. Has a bit to prove for his new yard. First run for this yard when midfield in 1m4f claimer; difficult to assess at present.
11th	12 11th (12) (16/1 +0%) Dahab	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Dahab 16/1, Below form but with excuses when comfortably held in a maiden here last time.

TAKE HEART debuts for new connections and should go close, with his rating slipping throughout the year. The winner of a valuable Goodwood handicap in July 2024, he has competed well in other smart races and although he has been off for a couple of months, he was once rated 99, is well suited by surface and distance, and his rider claims 3lb. Quatre Bras has been running consistently well and while probably not ahead of the handicapper, should again compete. Nakasero is 1lb higher following a narrow defeat over C&D, and he is now partnered by a 7lb claimer.

GENOAH was behind Nakasero on latest but is fancied to reverse the form given that was his first run since May

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.
