12:15 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(7) (4.5/1 +0%) Rhebus Road	4.5/1(+0%)	(7) Rhebus Road 4.5/1, Fairly useful Flat performer (won Newmarket handicap final start for Ralph Beckett) and progressed from hurdles debut when runner-up at Fontwell last time. Opening mark looks workable.
(12) (14/1 -27%) Miss Harriett	14/1(-27%)	(12) Miss Harriett 14/1, Still without a win. Placed for the third time in her last 4 starts when second of 12 at Exeter 27 days ago but she is 5 lb out of the handicap here.
(3) (50/1 -100%) See The Eagle Fly	50/1(-100%)	(3) See The Eagle Fly 50/1, Hasn't gone on since a Fontwell juvenile success in autumn 2020, including well held in a C&D handicap on her yard debut 7 weeks ago. Headgear back on. Can only really be watched.
1 1st (11) (11/1 +21%) Karakoram	11/1(+21%)	(11) Karakoram 11/1, Losing run dates back to 2019 but dropped a long way in the weights and has recorded some creditable in-frame efforts this term. Found run of good form coming to halt latest, though.
2 2nd (9) (4.5/1 +36%) Spirit Of Rome	4.5/1(+36%)	(9) Spirit Of Rome 4.5/1, Dual winner last season. Creditable third of 17 on her Wincanton reappearance 16 days ago. Ought to be in the mix.
3 3rd (10) (3.5/1 +36%) Mi Laddo	3.5/1(+36%)	(10) Mi Laddo 3.5/1, Both hurdle wins gained over 2m here, the latter in October. Creditable runner-up efforts last twice and should be thereabouts again if his stamina holds now going back up in trip.
4 4th (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Brianna Rose	5.5/1(-38%)	(2) Brianna Rose 5.5/1, Placed in bumpers and struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in 2m Southwell maiden 18 days ago. Very much unexposed now moving into handicaps.
5th 5th (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Across The Channel	4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Across The Channel 4.5/1, Modest form and made no significant impact on his Sandown handicap debut 26 days ago. In good hands, though, and it's still early days.
6th 6th (5) (18/1 -177%) Kalzari	18/1(-177%)	(5) Kalzari 18/1, Won a French claimer in September. Positive enough start for this yard when third at Leicester (2m) but he's run poorly in a Uttoxeter handicap since. Now up in trip with cheekpieces added.
7th 7th (1) (12/1 +40%) Jaisalmer	12/1(+40%)	(1) Jaisalmer 12/1, Scored at Warwick in April but hasn't fired since, so he might struggle to make an impact despite his tumbling mark.
8th 8th (8) (50/1 -52%) Catchin Time	50/1(-52%)	(8) Catchin Time 50/1, Veteran who snapped a long losing run back from a break at Wincanton in March. Good effort when second at Ludlow in May but off since a lesser run at Worcester in June.
\|F\| \|F\| (6) (5/1 +58%) Just Go For It	5/1(+58%)	(6) Just Go For It 5/1, Hereford winner for Kevin Bishop in February. Fourth over 3m at Wincanton the following month. Drops in trip on return for a new trainer.

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

12:30 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (22/1 -38%) For Jim	22/1(-38%)	(2) For Jim 22/1, Five-time winner this season but the busy campaign has seemingly caught up with him now, well below form at Uttoxeter 23 days ago. Back hurdling and others make more appeal.
1 1st (6) (5/1 -11%) Stolen Money	5/1(-11%)	(6) Stolen Money 5/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who returned with an improved showing to score in determined style at Carlisle 52 days ago. That form has been boosted since, and he looks all stamina, so strong claims.
2 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +7%) Lady Bowes	3.5/1(+7%)	(5) Lady Bowes 3.5/1, Fair bumper winner who left hurdling debut well behind when landing a 2½m Hexham novice last December. Good third at the same course last time, but she's unproven over this far.
3 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Macho Mover	3.33/1(-11%)	(1) Macho Mover 3.33/1, Relished the longer trip and confirmed his bright start for Olly Murphy when landing a C&D handicap at the start of the month. Had a bit to spare, so looks capable of going in again.
4 4th (4) (6.5/1 -63%) Charm Offensive	6.5/1(-63%)	(4) Charm Offensive 6.5/1, Getting better with experience and seemed unsuited by a speed test when third over 20f in novice at Hexham last time, so every chance she can take another step forward back up in trip.
5th 5th (7) (4.5/1 +55%) Storm Tiger	4.5/1(+55%)	(7) Storm Tiger 4.5/1, Successful on sole outing in points and stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when fourth at Hexham last time. Could do better still up in trip, so hard to discount.
6th 6th (3) (5/1 +23%) Storm Lorenzo	5/1(+23%)	(3) Storm Lorenzo 5/1, Ex-Irish gelding who has showed fair form over hurdles for his current yard. Creditable fourth to Macho Mover over C&D last time, but no obvious reason to think he can turn the tables.

12:45 Taunton Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 2nd (8) (25/1 -25%) Girandole	25/1(-25%)	(8) Girandole 25/1, Well held all 3 Flat starts but showed aptitude for hurdling after 11 weeks off in weak contest at Exeter last month. Could have a say in this company.
3 3rd (12) (80/1 -21%) Professor Calculus	80/1(-21%)	(12) Professor Calculus 80/1, Maiden on Flat (fair form on standout effort at 7f). Sold from Richard Hannon £5,000 in November and gelded. Faces a struggle on hurdles bow.
4 4th (14) (16/1 -60%) The Hood	16/1(-60%)	(14) The Hood 16/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m). Finished a creditable fourth in Newbury handicap when last seen in August and he could a role to play on hurdling debut for his superb dual purpose handler.
6th 6th (10) (50/1 +67%) Mind Hunter	50/1(+67%)	(10) Mind Hunter 50/1, Fair form on Flat, standout effort when second in 1½m maiden for Richard Hannon. Made an unpromising start to his career over hurdles so easy to look elsewhere.
7th 7th (5) (12/1 -9%) Chipping Away	12/1(-9%)	(5) Chipping Away 12/1, Fair form in a couple of starts on Flat for Adrian Keatley but most recent handicap debut was a poor effort. Has joined a decent yard and gelded since last seen.
8th 8th (6) (200/1 +20%) Clarendon Cross	200/1(+20%)	(6) Clarendon Cross 200/1, Disappointing maiden on Flat and little to shout about on recent hurdling debut at Fontwell. Easy to look elsewhere.
9th 9th (3) (250/1 -67%) Bryanwood	250/1(-67%)	(3) Bryanwood 250/1, Fair maiden on Flat but could not have shown less on hurdling debut for his new yard when tailed-off last at Newbury. Easy to look elsewhere.
\|F\| \|F\| (2) (1.5/1 +7%) Graystone	1.5/1(+7%)	(2) Graystone 1.5/1, Three-time winner on the Flat this year and made it third time lucky in this sphere at Warwick (2m) 3 weeks ago. Room for improvement in the jumping department, but he's a player all the same.
10th 10th (13) (200/1 -33%) Shielded	200/1(-33%)	(13) Shielded 200/1, Fair maiden on Flat. Sold from Simon & Ed Crisford for 9,000 gns in October and showed nothing on hurdling debut at Catterick 16 days ago.

13:00 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 3) 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (3.5/1 +0%) Mint Condition	3.5/1(+0%)	(3) Mint Condition 3.5/1, Three-time hurdle winner in the mud last season who made a pleasing start over fences when second of four in 2m5f novice here 29 days ago, just failing after last-fence blunder. Weighted to go well.
2 2nd (1) (9/1 -125%) Ashtown Lad	9/1(-125%)	(1) Ashtown Lad 9/1, Bolted up on his chasing bow at Wetherby last November but he jumped sketchily when last of four in Newbury Grade 2 33 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back for top yard.
3 3rd (2) (2.5/1 -11%) Bushypark	2.5/1(-11%)	(2) Bushypark 2.5/1, Completed a 5-timer over hurdles here in February and he scored readily on his debut in this sphere in 3m Kelso novice handicap 25 days ago. Sure to build on that, and he's well in the mix.
\|F\| \|F\| (6) (16/1 +52%) Frimeur De Lancray	16/1(+52%)	(6) Frimeur De Lancray 16/1, Fairly useful 19f hurdles winner who matched that level of form over fences when second in 23f handicap at Newcastle 21 days ago. Has plenty on his plate from 12 lb out of the handicap, however.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (3/1 +33%) Farrants Way	3/1(+33%)	(5) Farrants Way 3/1, Fairly useful 25f hurdles winner. Off since being pulled up over 3m here in February. Returns over fences after wind op and 3 lb out of the handicap but can't be discounted for yard among the winners.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (4/1 -14%) Torn And Frayed	4/1(-14%)	(4) Torn And Frayed 4/1, Dual hurdles winner last term who has made a promising start over fences, second of 4 in 20f novice at Cheltenham 19 days ago. Player back in handicap company.

13:15 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (0.62/1 +32%) Brave Kingdom	0.62/1(+32%)	(1) Brave Kingdom 0.62/1, Landed a bumper for Harry Whittington last winter and ran out an impressive winner on Chepstow hurdle debut for new stable. Not disgraced up in grade at Sandown since, and looks the one to beat.
3 3rd (5) (100/1 -203%) Here Hare Here	100/1(-203%)	(5) Here Hare Here 100/1, Promising start when third in a Taunton bumper on debut in April but failed to build on it in two subsequent outings. Will probably have an educational hurdling debut.
4 4th (2) (14/1 +0%) Mr Tambourine Man	14/1(+0%)	(2) Mr Tambourine Man 14/1, Fair winning hurdler who has hit the frame on each of his four outings for David Pipe but looks vulnerable returning to novice company in a strong event.
5th 5th (8) (2.75/1 +17%) Last Royal	2.75/1(+17%)	(8) Last Royal 2.75/1, Had wind op and off 15 months before promising third of 15 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) on return, then yet to be asked for effort when fell at Huntingdon 4 days ago. Big player.
6th 6th (9) (28/1 -133%) Monviel	28/1(-133%)	(9) Monviel 28/1, Half-brother to a couple of winners and showed something to work on when sixth at Ascot 40 days ago. Longer trip should suit but this is a tough assignment first up over hurdles.
7th 7th (13) (9/1 -13%) Wolfspear	9/1(-13%)	(13) Wolfspear 9/1, €110,000 Fame And Glory gelding who cosily landed a bumper before shaping a bit better than the result in a novice at Uttoxeter on hurdling bow, not having a hard time. Should have learned from that.
8th 8th (6) (14/1 +0%) Justified	14/1(+0%)	(6) Justified 14/1, Fair stayer on the Flat for Mark Johnston and made a positive start for his current yard when third in a novice hurdle at Fakenham. Place claims.
9th 9th (4) (150/1 -50%) Groom De Cotte	150/1(-50%)	(4) Groom De Cotte 150/1, Bred to need time and down the field in bumper at Warwick 3 weeks ago, so hard to make a case for switched to hurdling.
\|F\| \|F\| (11) (33/1 -32%) Social City	33/1(-32%)	(11) Social City 33/1, Five-time Flat winner who lost his form for Tony Carroll and was fourth in a novice at this course on his first go over hurdles. Looks more of a handicap type.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (14) (250/1 +0%) Scealoghan	250/1(+0%)	(14) Scealoghan 250/1, Looked rather limited in Irish bumpers, and was pulled up on stable/hurdling debut at Chepstow 26 days ago.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (12) (300/1 -20%) Sure Listen	300/1(-20%)	(12) Sure Listen 300/1, Fourth in a point but no show on either start under Rules to date.

13:35 Haydock Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(6) (16/1 -78%) Moveit Like Minnie	16/1(-78%)	(6) Moveit Like Minnie 16/1, Won a couple of bumpers in the summer, but looked in need of the experience when 24 lengths second on his Lingfield hurdle debut last month. Should improve.
1 1st (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Jungle Jack	2.75/1(+17%)	(1) Jungle Jack 2.75/1, Irish point winner who made a successful start under Rules in a Sedgefield maiden hurdle 4 weeks ago. Should be more to come for a stable which continues in good form.
4 4th (7) (9/1 +25%) Notlongtillmay	9/1(+25%)	(7) Notlongtillmay 9/1, Fair form when placed in a couple of bumpers nearly 6 months apart. Should have a future over jumps.
5th 5th (2) (2.5/1 +9%) Transfer Friendly	2.5/1(+9%)	(2) Transfer Friendly 2.5/1, Runner-up in point and built on the promise of his hurdle debut third when scoring over 2½m at Ffos Las 43 days ago. Drop back in trip a slight concern but conditions should place emphasis on stamina.
6th 6th (8) (22/1 -144%) Urban Grit	22/1(-144%)	(8) Urban Grit 22/1, Cityscape gelding who showed ability in bumpers 6 months, returning from a break to finish third at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Another who can't be discounted.
7th 7th (4) (40/1 -43%) Gandhi Maker	40/1(-43%)	(4) Gandhi Maker 40/1, Irish point winner who has only managed seventh in a couple of novice hurdles under Rules, but there was plenty of money for him last time so he's presumably thought capable of better.

13:50 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (9) (3.33/1 +33%) Bangers And Cash	3.33/1(+33%)	(9) Bangers And Cash 3.33/1, Fairly useful hurdler who returned from 10 months off with good second in 21f handicap at Exeter 27 days ago. Goes chasing with this longer trip a big plus. Interesting for yard among the winners.
2 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +0%) Velasco	4.5/1(+0%)	(7) Velasco 4.5/1, Failed to build on promsing Worcester second when only fair fifth in 25f Hereford handicap 19 days ago, hanging left. Hood/tongue strap back on, and he's worth another chance.
3 3rd (6) (28/1 +15%) Pennyforapound	28/1(+15%)	(6) Pennyforapound 28/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but he's yet to match that form in two runs over fences, pulled up in 3m handicap at Wetherby 26 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.
4 4th (2) (6/1 +25%) Lady Kk	6/1(+25%)	(2) Lady Kk 6/1, Went backwards from his chasing debut second when pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (22.5f) 47 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
5th 5th (8) (25/1 -39%) Larkbarrow Lad	25/1(-39%)	(8) Larkbarrow Lad 25/1, Temperamental sort who extended his long losing run with a typically lacklustre effort when third of 5 in 3m handicap chase at Southwell 37 days ago. Easily opposed.
6th 6th (1) (16/1 -78%) Rookie Trainer	16/1(-78%)	(1) Rookie Trainer 16/1, Fairly useful 19f winner over hurdles but he offered little after 7 months off on his chasing bow when fourth of 6 in handicap at Huntingdon (19.9f) 40 days ago. Needs a big step forward.
7th 7th (3) (11/1 +21%) Fleminport	11/1(+21%)	(3) Fleminport 11/1, Unreliable type who comes here on the back of below-form sixth in 3m handicap at Chepstow 26 days ago. Others are more persuasive.
8th 8th (5) (2.25/1 -13%) Mille Sussurri	2.25/1(-13%)	(5) Mille Sussurri 2.25/1, Has shaped with promise on both his runs over fences, travelling strongly long way when runner-up in 22f handicap at Uttoxeter 23 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 3 lb rise with more to come.
9th 9th (4) (22/1 -100%) Lilly Pedlar	22/1(-100%)	(4) Lilly Pedlar 22/1, Scored over hurdles at Ffos Las in May but pulled up both starts since, including over fences at Kempton. Hard to warm to.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (22/1 -120%) Cape Robin	22/1(-120%)	(10) Cape Robin 22/1, Opened his account at Worcester in June and he got back on track when second in 25f handicap chase at Ludlow last month. Can give another good account nudged up just 1 lb.

14:05 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 2) 28f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (2.75/1 -10%) Blaklion	2.75/1(-10%)	(4) Blaklion 2.75/1, Still very useful despite his advancing years and he built on his reappearance at Bangor when landing a veterans' event over 25f here at the start of the month. Likely to give another good account.
2 2nd (2) (3.2/1 -28%) The Two Amigos	3.2/1(-28%)	(2) The Two Amigos 3.2/1, Did little wrong last term, including finishing third in Grand National Trial over C&D. Struggling when falling in Aintree Grade 2 on return but this more suitable and given a chance by handicapper.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 +13%) Beware The Bear	14/1(+13%)	(3) Beware The Bear 14/1, Won at 2019 Cheltenham Festival. Good fifth in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury on last year's reappearance but he's been below par since, including on his Bangor return for a new yard.
\|U\| \|U\| (6) (7/1 -8%) Bobo Mac	7/1(-8%)	(6) Bobo Mac 7/1, Useful stayer at his best. Stepped up on his reappearance when 18 lengths second at Ludlow 24 days ago. Another who can't be ruled out.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (3.5/1 +30%) Chef D'Oeuvre	3.5/1(+30%)	(7) Chef D'Oeuvre 3.5/1, Won this race in 2018 and added another course success back in March. Latest Wetherby third suggested he could be coming to the boil again and he's back on a winning mark. Considered.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Captain Cattistock	4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Captain Cattistock 4.5/1, Useful at best for Paul Nicholls and landed 16-runner hunter at Cheltenham for this yard in April. Absent since a lesser run at Stratford in May but can be competitive off this mark if ready to roll.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (22/1 -120%) Vieux Lion Rouge	22/1(-120%)	(1) Vieux Lion Rouge 22/1, Dual Becher Chase winner but he was struggling when unseating in this year's renewal and he'd been below par on his Chepstow return prior to that. C&D winner, but others have more pressing claims.

14:25 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (1/1 +43%) Rainyday Woman	1/1(+43%)	(6) Rainyday Woman 1/1, Useful dual bumper winner who has taken well to hurdles, easily winning pair of Wincanton novices. Open to further progress and leading claims for yard seeking a fourth win in this since 2014.
2 2nd (5) (4/1 +11%) Game On For Glory	4/1(+11%)	(5) Game On For Glory 4/1, Off the mark at fourth attempt in bumpers at Warwick in November and followed up switched to hurdles at Lingfield (2m, heavy) a month later. More to come from her.
3 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Ahorsewithnoname	3.33/1(-21%)	(1) Ahorsewithnoname 3.33/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and has matched that form over hurdles, finishing second in a listed mares' novice at Newbury last month. Another prominent showing likely.
4 4th (9) (50/1 +0%) Lady Pacifico	50/1(+0%)	(9) Lady Pacifico 50/1, Fair form on Flat. Replicated that when making a winning start over hurdles at Leicester in November but not up to a Grade 2 at Cheltenham since.
5th 5th (7) (9/1 -6%) Ucanaver	9/1(-6%)	(7) Ucanaver 9/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and ran to a similar level in making a successful debut over hurdles at Worcester (2m) in October. Didn't jump well when below-par third at Fontwell (19f) since.
6th 6th (2) (33/1 -83%) Blue Bikini	33/1(-83%)	(2) Blue Bikini 33/1, Made the frame 3 times in bumpers for Stuart Edmunds. Struck at second time of asking over hurdles for new yard in 2m Plumpton maiden at the beginning of November. This demands a fair bit more.
7th 7th (8) (12/1 -118%) Wheres Maud Gone	12/1(-118%)	(8) Wheres Maud Gone 12/1, Created good impression in landing bumpers at Thurles (for Sam Curling) and Ayr last term. Creditable fifth in Cheltenham listed event on return. Should make a hurdler but this a tough starting point.
9th 9th (4) (250/1 +0%) Firefly Lane	250/1(+0%)	(4) Firefly Lane 250/1, Well held in 2 bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles. Surely up against it.

14:40 Haydock Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 19f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (5) (2.25/1 +25%) Celebre D'allen	2.25/1(+25%)	(5) Celebre D'allen 2.25/1, Useful jumper in France and successful start for new yard after 2 years off in C&D handicap hurdle earlier this month. Big shout if backing that up after 6 lb rise.
2 2nd (1) (14/1 -17%) Rockadenn	14/1(-17%)	(1) Rockadenn 14/1, Hurdle/chase winner who was better when ever when taking a Taunton handicap hurdle for Paul Nicholls in February. Disappointing start for current yard at Doncaster on return, but might come on for it.
3 3rd (2) (3/1 +14%) Chti Balko	3/1(+14%)	(2) Chti Balko 3/1, 3-time course winner who is well treated and looked as good as ever when runner-up to Green Book (went in again next time) at this course last time. Capable of going one better.
4 4th (9) (5/1 +29%) Rattle Owl	5/1(+29%)	(9) Rattle Owl 5/1, Dual winner over hurdles who was slightly inconvenienced by the drop in trip when runner-up at Doncaster last time. More to come back at this sort of distance, so makes plenty of appeal.
5th 5th (6) (12/1 -140%) Mister Watson	12/1(-140%)	(6) Mister Watson 12/1, Fair hurdler who upped his game to score at Lingfield with something to spare last time. Might not have reached his limit, but has been a touch unreliable so far.
6th 6th (8) (3.5/1 +22%) Homme Public	3.5/1(+22%)	(8) Homme Public 3.5/1, Promising start over hurdles in Britain, winning at Market Rasen in February. Not up to the Fred Winter at Cheltenham but right back on track when third to Celebre d'Allen on reappearance. Considered.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -211%) Collooney	28/1(-211%)	(4) Collooney 28/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who was somewhat disappointing over fences last season, so no great surprise he's back in this sphere for his reappearance. Claims if he's tuned up.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (40/1 -21%) Minella Charmer	40/1(-21%)	(7) Minella Charmer 40/1, Landed handicap hurdles 9 months apart in 2019. Missed 2020 and hasn't shown much on either outing this term.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (80/1 +0%) Moon Over Germany	80/1(+0%)	(3) Moon Over Germany 80/1, Very useful hurdler/chaser for Henry De Bromhead but ended time in Ireland below his best and no encouragement to glean from either outing for his current stable.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (8) (16/1 -33%) Kingsmill Gin	16/1(-33%)	(8) Kingsmill Gin 16/1, Still a maiden and, while she completed for the first time (from three goes) over fences when fifth at Chepstow last time, her finishing effort was rather underwhelming.
2 2nd (7) (9/1 -125%) Eaton Miller	9/1(-125%)	(7) Eaton Miller 9/1, Modest hurdler/chaser who scored twice last season. Fell at Wetherby when last seen 9 days ago, but chance can't be ignored returning at a time when his stable is thriving.
3 3rd (3) (10/1 +17%) Mr Katanga	10/1(+17%)	(3) Mr Katanga 10/1, Runner-up in 3m Taunton handicap for Olly Murphy in March, but has failed to match that in four subsequent outings, so hard to make a solid case for switched to chasing.
4 4th (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Queen Of The Court	4.5/1(+36%)	(5) Queen Of The Court 4.5/1, Winning Irish pointer who ended last season with some good efforts over hurdles but hasn't fired yet this term. Upped in trip for chasing debut, but has a bit to prove.
5th 5th (4) (3/1 +10%) Give Us A Swig	3/1(+10%)	(4) Give Us A Swig 3/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Worcester (20f) in July and has made a promising start to chasing. Promises to be well suited by this longer trip, so worth chancing in a weak race.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (9) (3.5/1 +13%) The Boat	3.5/1(+13%)	(9) The Boat 3.5/1, Justified strong market support when gaining breakthrough success back over fences in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (19.2f) this month. Up just 2 lb and claims if able to build on that.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (7.5/1 +0%) Lets Go Dutchess	7.5/1(+0%)	(10) Lets Go Dutchess 7.5/1, Winning hurdler/chaser who put some disappointing efforts behind her when runner-up at Wincanton last time. Hard to know if she'll back that up, however.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (9/1 +25%) One For Dunstan	9/1(+25%)	(6) One For Dunstan 9/1, Far more miss than hit and whilst he did stop the slide when fourth at Lingfield recently, he hardly shaped like a winner in waiting. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more at least.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (28/1 -75%) Troed Y Melin	28/1(-75%)	(2) Troed Y Melin 28/1, Bagged second course win in April is yet to find his form this term, pulled up at Exeter last time. Others are more persuasive.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (11) (66/1 -65%) Gorcombe's Rascal	66/1(-65%)	(11) Gorcombe's Rascal 66/1, Limited hurdler/chaser who has offered no encouragement so far this season.

2 2nd (9) (10/1 +9%) Thomas Macdonagh	10/1(+9%)	(9) Thomas Macdonagh 10/1, Improved form over fences last term when scoring at Catterick, but well below par both runs this term, pulled up at Fontwell 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on with something to prove.
3 3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Wouldubewell	4/1(+20%)	(6) Wouldubewell 4/1, Dual point winner and successful over hurdles last term. Made a great start to chase career when landing 4-runner Fontwell handicap (3¼m) 19 days ago. Up 5 lb but she's firmly in the picture.
4 4th (3) (20/1 -25%) Saint Xavier	20/1(-25%)	(3) Saint Xavier 20/1, Exploits have proved more miss than hit for present stable but he arrives in good nick from a spell in Auteuil, sixth in Group 2 there (21.9f, heavy) 32 days ago. No forlorn hope.
5th 5th (13) (6.5/1 +7%) The Crooner	6.5/1(+7%)	(13) The Crooner 6.5/1, Progressive chaser who signed off for last term with stylish win in 21f handicap at Fontwell. Has 10-month absence to overcome, but he's not taken lightly for yard among the winners.
6th 6th (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Orrisdale	4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Orrisdale 4.5/1, Yet to win over fences, but he comes here on the up, in control when last-fence faller at Newton Abbot before strong-finishing runner-up in 21f Market Rasen handicap. Holds good claims off same mark.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (6/1 +33%) Up Helly Aa King	6/1(+33%)	(10) Up Helly Aa King 6/1, Consistent sort who comes here on the back of good fourth in 25f handicap here 29 days ago. Should give another good account back in trip off 2 lb lower mark.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (16/1 -45%) Town Parks	16/1(-45%)	(8) Town Parks 16/1, Fairly useful 20f chase winner who should strip fitter for his reappearance seventh of 11 in Ffos Las handicap (19.4f) 43 days ago. Not discounted now off a reduced mark.

\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (25/1 -79%) Informateur	25/1(-79%)	(2) Informateur 25/1, Signed off last spring with 20f win here but he's yet to fire this term, pulled up in handicap at Newcastle (23.4f) 33 days ago. Others appeal more.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (40/1 -60%) Minella Till Dawn	40/1(-60%)	(1) Minella Till Dawn 40/1, Consistent Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who looked rusty on his return/yard bow when fifth of 9 in 3m handicap chase at Wetherby 26 days ago. Seems sure to build on that now.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (66/1 -32%) Fine Theatre	66/1(-32%)	(7) Fine Theatre 66/1, Veteran ex-Irish chaser for Paul Nolan but only fourteenth in 3m handicap chase (66/1) at Punchestown 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running for his new stable.

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.
