|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2)  (2/1 -23%)Strong Leader |
2/1(-23%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Strong Leader 2/1, Looked highly promising in bumpers and confirmed that impression when readily landing a novice at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Open to a good deal of improvement. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.75/1 +42%)Etalon |
1.75/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Etalon 1.75/1, Looked a bit quirky in a bumper on debut but made a positive impression when runner-up in a novice at Warwick on his first go over hurdles. Should do better, so likely to take a hand. | |||
3rd (6)  (18/1 -29%)Jaramillo |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jaramillo 18/1, Useful but quirky sort on Flat for Roger Varian. Ran his best race over hurdles when second in a novice at Huntgindon last time but looks vulnerable to less-exposed types. | |||
4th (4)  (20/1 -11%)Gaelic Park |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gaelic Park 20/1, Well-bred point winner who went in again under a no-nonsense ride in a Warwick bumper in February. Took a step forward under a penalty next time, then shaped as if in need of the run when only sixth in a novice at Hexham on hurdling debut. Not completely dismissed. | |||
5th (7)  (5/1 +58%)Nollyador |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nollyador 5/1, Well-made gelding who was progressive in bumpers and looks capable of making an impact if tuned up for this hurdling bow after 9 months off. | |||
6th (8)  (7/1 -110%)Pleasant Man |
7/1(-110%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pleasant Man 7/1, Useful stayer on Flat who was picked up from Roger Charlton for 175,000 gns. Broke a blood vessel in the Adonis at Kempton on hurdling debut but has had breathing operation since, so could prove a different proposition. | |||
7th (5)  (125/1 +0%)Governor Green |
125/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Governor Green 125/1, Showed something in bumpers but down the field at a big price in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling bow. Looks more of a handicap type. | |||
8th (1)  (20/1 +20%)Our Marty |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Our Marty 20/1, Placed on the first 2 of 3 starts in bumpers and opened his account at the first time of asking over hurdles in a novice at at Perth in September. Will find this tougher under a penalty. | |||
9th (9)  (50/1 -178%)Uncle Arthur |
50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Uncle Arthur 50/1, Blue Bresil gelding who confirmed his debut promise when landing a 6-runner bumper at Worcester (2m) in June. Strong in the betting but looked in need of experience when only ninth in a novice at Chepstow on hurdling debut. Hooded for the first time. |

1st (1)  (2.5/1 +17%)Broadway Boy |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Broadway Boy 2.5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who has made a sound start in filling runners-up spot both starts over hurdles to date, comfortably best of rest when runner-up to a potentially smart one at Lingfield (19.5f) 18 days ago. Very interesting making quick switch to handicaps upped to 3m. | |||
2nd (4)  (4.5/1 -50%)Brandy McQueen |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Brandy McQueen 4.5/1, 5-y-o who has improved for the step up to staying trips this term, twice successful at up to 3¼m during the spring. Solid efforts in defeat from inflated mark since, keeping on well to again fill runners-up spot at Kelso last month. Claims once more. | |||
3rd (5)  (4/1 +0%)Tyre Kicker |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tyre Kicker 4/1, Proved a different proposition switched to handicaps/upped in trip to open his account at Punchestown (3m) in May, finding plenty to lead dying strides. Ran at least as well in defeat both starts since, third at aforementioned venue last month. Could well do better still. | |||
4th (6)  (2.25/1 +36%)Fenland Tiger |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fenland Tiger 2.25/1, Shaped like a stayer in bumpers/novice hurdles and he's duly improved for longer trips/switch to handicaps, showing a willing attitude to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle (23.7f) 16 days ago. Unlikely his progress has levelled out just yet. | |||
5th (2)  (8/1 -33%)Bonza Boy |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bonza Boy 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH Rules who despite still looking a bit raw, ran best race when runner-up on return/handicap debut at Hereford (21.7f) last month. This longer trip could feasibly bring about further progress. |

1st (5)  (1/1 +20%)Dixon Cove |
1/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dixon Cove 1/1, Placed all 3 starts in France (including in Grade 3 company) and made short work of her 5 rivals when making a winning British debut at Hereford last month. Clearly a bright prospect for the Nicholls yard and she's probably the one they all to have to beat. | |||
2nd (3)  (10/1 +38%)Calico |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Calico 10/1, Has shown more than enough in half-a-dozen appearances in Irish juvenile/maiden hurdles to suggest that there are races to be won with her, not least when third in a 16-runner Punchestown event last time. Still, this demands a sizeable step forward and Old Victoria is presumably the stable No 1. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 -33%)Isaline De Chandou |
3.33/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Isaline De Chandou 3.33/1, French raider who landed a fillies' juvenile event at Compiegne prior to finishing runner-up in listed/Grade 3 company. Eased in class here having struggled in a Grade 1 event last time and while she's not the easiest to assess in the context of this race and carries a penalty, she merits respect. | |||
4th (7)  (5/1 +58%)Obsessedwithyou |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Obsessedwithyou 5/1, Given an enterprising ride by Gavin Sheehan when scoring in good style on debut in a 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Wetherby. That probably wasn't the strongest of races (fifth has won since but the third and fourth were beaten next time) and she has much more on her plate this time. | |||
5th (2)  (66/1 -164%)Arch Enemy |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arch Enemy 66/1, Dual winner on the Flat and has show ability in this sphere, making the frame on 3 of her 4 hurdles starts, but she's almost certainly biting off more than she can chew in this company. | |||
6th (9)  (28/1 +15%)Paddy's Fancy |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Paddy's Fancy 28/1, Modest on the Flat but switch to hurdles/fitting of cheekpieces did the trick at Leicester where she justified support in a 7-runner juvenile event. Probably capable of winning more races in this sphere but plenty more will be needed at this level. | |||
7th (10)  (80/1 -264%)Pepsiwithacap |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pepsiwithacap 80/1, Flat winner who made it third time lucky over hurdles in a Killarney maiden in August. Well held both subsequent starts in this sphere, though, and while she represents a yard that has landed this race twice in recent years, others make more appeal. | |||
8th (6)  (22/1 +0%)Dubai Clover |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dubai Clover 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and positive start over hurdles when fourth of 16 in a juvenile event at Punchestown recently. Improvement should be forthcoming but whether she will step up sufficiently to play a leading role in this contest remains to be seen. | |||
|PU| (8)  (18/1 -157%)Old Victoria |
18/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Old Victoria 18/1, Looked promising when winning the second of her 2 starts in France and while she failed to fire on debut for Gordon Elliott at Down Royal, that run can be excused given that she was found to be distressed post race. Could turn out to be useful and she needs a second look. |

1st (2)  (3/1 +60%)Noble Yeats |
3/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Noble Yeats 3/1, Very smart Irish chaser who landed the Grand National here in April. Got back on track with easy success in 4-runner listed chase at Wexford (23f) 33 days ago. Can't be discounted. | |||
2nd (5)  (7.5/1 +25%)Dashel Drasher |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dashel Drasher 7.5/1, Tough and likeable chaser who resumed with a 2m4f win over hurdles here four weeks ago. Steps up in trip now and he shouldn't be underestimated. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.12/1 -30%)Ahoy Senor |
2.12/1(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ahoy Senor 2.12/1, Enjoyed a fine first season over fences, emphatically landing Grade 1 Mildmay Novices' Chase over C&D on his final run. Came in last of five in Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on his return but he remains with plenty of potential and is well worth another chance. | |||
4th (6)  (6.5/1 -30%)Sounds Russian |
6.5/1(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sounds Russian 6.5/1, Hasn't looked back since sent over fences, making it 4 wins from his last 5 runs in 3m2f handicap at Kelso on his return. Takes a step up in grade but this strong-travelling type is well in the mix. | |||
5th (3)  (9/1 -20%)Sam Brown |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sam Brown 9/1, Signed off last term with a career-best win over C&D. Returned with a good third to Bravemansgame in Charlie Hall at Wetherby so he's in the mix. | |||
|U| (1)  (5/1 +9%)Chantry House |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chantry House 5/1, High-class chaser at his best but he signed off last term with a poor run in Cheltenham Gold Cup. C&D winner but he has something to prove on his return after a wind op. |

1st (11)  (5/1 +23%)Ashtown Lad |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Ashtown Lad 5/1, Useful hurdler who showed similar form over fences last season, shaping better than bare result when fifth of 23 in Scottish Grand National at Ayr final start. Warmed up for this with a good reappearance run over hurdles. Big player for his very much in-form yard. | |||
2nd (13)  (4/1 +38%)Gesskille |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Gesskille 4/1, Ex-French chaser with a progressive record for this stable, winning 3 of his first 4 starts. Improved again in defeat when edged out in Grand Sefton over these fences (21f) last month and of major interest with the return to further a help if anything. | |||
3rd (21)  (10/1 +44%)Percussion |
10/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (21) Percussion 10/1, Revitalised by cheekpieces/tongue strap when scoring twice at up to 3m at Southwell in the spring. Made a solid return from a break when third (Gesskille 8 lengths ahead in second) in Grand Sefton here 4 weeks ago. Was out of the handicap on that occasion and runs off effectively 3 lb lower now. | |||
4th (5)  (33/1 -18%)Fortescue |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fortescue 33/1, Useful chaser who relished the emphasis on stamina when landing a listed handicap at Ascot (3m, heavy) in February. Should be sharper for a reappearance run over hurdles but he produced a laboured effort in the Grand National in April and these ground conditions may not be testing enough for him. | |||
5th (19)  (7/1 +22%)Five Star Getaway |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Five Star Getaway 7/1, Useful chaser who scored second time up last season. Below best towards the end of the campaign, including in the Topham here, but his reappearance run at Bangor was encouraging. Not discounted for a yard which has plundered quite a few valuable handicap chases in recent seasons. | |||
6th (9)  (33/1 +0%)Cloth Cap |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cloth Cap 33/1, Classy stayer but has seen a promising career derailed by apparent physical problems, reportedly bled when pulled up in Grand National final start. Didn't see his race out again when fifth on his reappearance here (Mildmay Course) in October. Too much to prove. | |||
7th (4)  (12/1 +0%)Hill Sixteen |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hill Sixteen 12/1, Took to these fences very well when narrowly denied by Snow Leopardess in this 12 months ago. A good third on his Kelso reappearance 6 weeks ago suggests he could be set to make another bold bid in this race. | |||
8th (3)  (16/1 -14%)Snow Leopardess |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Snow Leopardess 16/1, Proved some sight over these fences when edging out Hill Sixteen in this 12 months ago. Followed up in listed race at Exeter in February but she never got in a rhythm when pulled up in Grand National on final start. Pulled up after mistake and rider lost irons first on Warwick reappearance. | |||
9th (17)  (33/1 -32%)Enqarde |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Enqarde 33/1, Progressive over fences in recent years, landing Tommy Whittle at Haydock last term and ending campaign with creditable second there. Well beaten over hurdles on his reappearance but better can be expected returned to the larger obstacles. | |||
|F| (23)  (66/1 -32%)Minella Bobo |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (23) Minella Bobo 66/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who made all at Ffos Las (3m) in May 2021 but has been well beaten on all 3 outings since, pulling up at Bangor last month. His claims aren't obvious. | |||
|U| (22)  (14/1 +36%)Didero Vallis |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (22) Didero Vallis 14/1, Useful chaser but he proved hard to predict last term, third in the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival but pulled up here (Mildmay Course) final start. Respectable third on Exeter reappearance. Has completed on both previous starts over these fences without performing to his best. | |||
|U| (16)  (16/1 -14%)Captain Kangaroo |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Captain Kangaroo 16/1, Came good over fences when seeing off 16 rivals, including reopposing stablemate Recite A Prayer, in the Cork National (3½m, heavy) 27 days ago. Can likely be competitive off his new mark but he is prone to the odd jumping error. | |||
10th (15)  (100/1 -52%)Fagan |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Fagan 100/1, Low mileage for age and resumed winning ways in emphatic fashion at Newbury in January. Good second in veterans' event at Warwick on return but struggled in a Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham since. | |||
11th (8)  (14/1 +0%)Fantastikas |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Fantastikas 14/1, Largely progressive novice chaser last term and he showed up well for a long way in a 27f Cheltenham handicap on his reappearance 3 weeks ago, although his jumping was a bit ragged. Stable no stranger to success over these fences. | |||
12th (6)  (20/1 -43%)Recite A Prayer |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Recite A Prayer 20/1, Three wins since switched to fences last autumn, the latest in a Killarney handicap in May. Arrives on the back of good placed efforts in the Kerry and Cork Nationals this autumn. Respected for top Irish stable. | |||
13th (12)  (14/1 +22%)The Wolf |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) The Wolf 14/1, Strong stayer who found just one too good in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February. Unable to make a telling impact held up in the Scottish National 2 months later but back on track when second on his 25f Cheltenham reappearance 6 weeks ago. | |||
14th (1)  (20/1 +0%)De Rasher Counter |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) De Rasher Counter 20/1, Showed he still retains his ability when second in 3m Warwick veterans' event 17 days ago. Suffered an unlucky unseat at the first Canal Turn in the Grand National in April on his previous attempt over these fences. | |||
15th (2)  (50/1 -52%)Francky Du Berlais |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Francky Du Berlais 50/1, Found plenty for pressure when landing a second win in the valuable Summer Plate at Market Rasen in July. Ran a stinker over hurdles at Cheltenham in October but he's capable of bouncing back and his Topham fourth in the spring shows he acts around here. | |||
16th (10)  (8/1 +20%)Dr Kananga |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dr Kananga 8/1, Progressive chaser last season, winning 3 times. Switched to hurdles on his reappearance and ran well for second in a 23f Bangor novice. That should put him spot on for this. Potential for better still and high on the shortlist. | |||
17th (18)  (33/1 +0%)Domaine De L'isle |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Domaine De L'isle 33/1, Winless last season and he's beaten only a couple home in a handicap hurdle/chase this time round. Refitted blinkers will need to make a big difference. | |||
|PU| (7)  (33/1 +0%)The Jam Man |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Jam Man 33/1, Has drawn a blank since his Troytown win at Navan in autumn 2020 and was well behind Recite A Prayer in the Kerry National at Listowel in September. Also down the field on the Flat since. Tongue tied first time. Others are more obvious. | |||
|PU| (14)  (40/1 +39%)Rapid Flight |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Rapid Flight 40/1, Likeable sort who won 5 chases at Cartmel during the summer. Found the concession of plenty of weight to a good prospect beyond him in a Hexham novice last time but he ran with credit in second. Stable won this in 2015. |

12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brave Seasca 12/1, Hurdles winner who took form to a new level over fences last term, completing quick-fire hat-trick on handicap debut at Warwick (2m) in January. Not disgraced in Gr. 2 next time and he fell early in the Arkle when last seen. This more suitable. | |||
2nd (13)  (22/1 -10%)Handsworth |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Handsworth 22/1, Gained second handicap chase victory (in refitted cheekpieces) at Naas (20.4f) in January. Never figured next 2 starts but right back to best when runner-up on seasonal return at Wexford (20f) in October. Not underestimated from the foot of the weights on that evidence. | |||
3rd (12)  (11/1 +0%)Cooper's Cross |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Cooper's Cross 11/1, Is progressing well and made a winning return from 6 months off in 7-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (20f) 16 days ago, storming clear from last. Assessor applies more pressure but he's still low-mileage and could well be up to the task. | |||
4th (3)  (18/1 -13%)Kiltealy Briggs |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kiltealy Briggs 18/1, Dual winner of small-field novice chase events last term and having ended the campaign well below his best, he got back on track without needing to improve to score at Market Rasen (21.4f) in October. Needs to back that up in this more demanding affair. | |||
5th (9)  (3/1 +40%)Gunsight Ridge |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gunsight Ridge 3/1, Consistent hurdler who justified good support on the back of a break/wind op over shorter here 4 weeks ago, jumping on 3 out and ridden out. Still room for improvement in his jumping but may not have reached his limit yet, including at this trip. | |||
6th (5)  (9/1 +36%)Elvis Mail |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Elvis Mail 9/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who, in line with yard's good form, returned to something like his best to end losing run back from 7 months off at Ayr (20.5f) 5 weeks ago, well served by the test of speed. This understandably demands a little more. | |||
7th (2)  (20/1 +29%)Empire Steel |
20/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Empire Steel 20/1, 8-y-o who goes particularly well when the mud is flying, adding to his tally when seeing of re-opposing Clan Legend at Kelso (21.6f) in February. Solid second back at that venue in March but conditions may not play to his strengths back down in trip on return. | |||
8th (4)  (25/1 -14%)Wishing And Hoping |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wishing And Hoping 25/1, Won veterans event over 25f here last October. Winless thereafter but did go with zest for a long way prior to succumbing late in Grade 3 handicap here final start. Did too much too soon when runner-up on return here last month but he clearly retains all his enthusiasm at the age of 12. | |||
9th (11)  (14/1 +0%)Clan Legend |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Clan Legend 14/1, Likeable veteran who was very gutsy when taking this race for second consecutive season 12 months ago, by 3 lengths from Riders Onthe Storm. Creditable second on seasonal bow at Ayr recently but he's done his winning on much softer ground than forecast here. | |||
|U| (6)  (16/1 +0%)Schiehallion Munro |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Schiehallion Munro 16/1, Likeable sort who won twice at Wetherby (19.4f) last winter prior to finding the demands of the Plate handicap too demanding at Cheltenham in March. Solid return fourth at first-named venue last month but victories over fences have come in single-figure fields. | |||
10th (10)  (6/1 -9%)Knight In Dubai |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Knight In Dubai 6/1, Useful hurdler who scored twice as a novice in this sphere during 2019/20 campaign. Very lightly raced since and, afforded a chance by the assessor he returned from 10 months off with a good second at Bangor (20.3f) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope. | |||
11th (7)  (3.5/1 -5%)Riders Onthe Storm |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Riders Onthe Storm 3.5/1, High-class chaser in his pomp (Grade 1 winner) who capitalised on sliding mark on return in Old Roan Chase under an excellent ride. That form has been very well advertised since and big shout from 2 lb higher if arriving in same form. | |||
|PU| (8)  (33/1 -32%)Kap Auteuil |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kap Auteuil 33/1, Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences with ready success at Stratford (22.5f) in March. Struggled at Haydock a month later and whilst much better than bare result when fifth on return at Fakenham (3m) in October, it's likely he'll face plenty of competition on the front end here. |

1st (12)  (50/1 -25%)Romeo Brown |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Romeo Brown 50/1, In excellent form during the spring, well ridden when adding to his tally at Haydock (3m) in May and matched that on back of 5 months off when third at Wetherby (2m) in October. Rare poor effort faced with testing ground at Carlisle since. | |||
2nd (10)  (3.5/1 +53%)Benson |
3.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Benson 3.5/1, Ended last term in disappointing fashion but back on track in filling runners-up spot both starts for new yard this year, keeping on well having been outpaced leaving back straight at Haydock (18.9f) 2 weeks ago. Returns to 2½m and booking of Hughes catches the eye. | |||
3rd (6)  (2.75/1 +17%)Walking On Air |
2.75/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Walking On Air 2.75/1, Well-bred 5-y-o who looked potentially smart in making a winning start over hurdles in a 2m novice at Newbury in January. Found C&D Grade 1 all too much when next seen in the spring but he returns as an unexposed sort with lots of potential. Market confidence would be significant. | |||
4th (4)  (3.2/1 +36%)Harbour Lake |
3.2/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Harbour Lake 3.2/1, 6-y-o boasting an excellent strike rate over hurdles, gaining fourth success with a bit to spare on return at Market Rasen (20.6f) in October. Not at all disgraced when keeping on again for third in the Greatwood at Cheltenham and possible there's more to come back up at 2½m. | |||
5th (2)  (12/1 -33%)Herbiers |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Herbiers 12/1, Useful handicap hurdler who benefited from drop in grade on back of a wind op to score at Newbury 4 weeks ago, leading 3 out and drawing clear run-in. Career-high mark to defy now though back up in trip. | |||
6th (13)  (20/1 -11%)Whizz Kid |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Whizz Kid 20/1, Useful Flat performer who landed back-to-back maiden/novice hurdles last spring and run well to hit the frame on 3 of his 4 starts since, keeping on for third at Ascot (15.7f) 2 weeks back. Longer trip may just be worth exploring here. | |||
7th (1)  (5.5/1 -22%)Langer Dan |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Langer Dan 5.5/1, Well clear of rest when second to Galopin des Champs in 2021 Martin Pipe and, having been brought down in last season's renewal (sent off fav) he duly made amends in a C&D Gr. 3 handicap in April. Shaped as if needing last month's return to action here and he's not out of things. | |||
8th (11)  (25/1 -25%)Foster'sisland |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Foster'sisland 25/1, Progressive, 3-time winner over hurdles during 2021/22 who has returned in rude health, runner-up to a totally unexposed sort at Wetherby (19.7f) 3 weeks ago (clear of remainder). Mark has crept up a little but suspicion is he could pull out a little more. | |||
9th (5)  (14/1 -17%)Sizing Pottsie |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sizing Pottsie 14/1, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington who, having changed hands (for 95,000 gns) made most of good opportunity to land Ayr novice hurdle in October. Creditable second in listed event at Haydock (15.6f) 2 weeks ago and not out of things making handicap debut in this sphere. Up in trip. | |||
|U| (7)  (33/1 -32%)Bold Plan |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bold Plan 33/1, Resurgent over hurdles during second half of last term, looking about as good as ever when completing the hat-trick at Cheltenham (20f) in April. Has often needed first start of the campaign, so likely he'll be much sharper for last month's Kempton effort now. | |||
10th (9)  (33/1 -83%)Skippin Court |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Skippin Court 33/1, Took his form up a notch when defying an 11 lb lower mark at Listowel in September and wilst not disgraced when sixth at Punchestown (20.3f) in October, he did hang badly right on that occasion. Cheekpieces go on now but mark demands that little bit more. | |||
11th (3)  (125/1 -150%)Ballyhome |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballyhome 125/1, Veteran who tasted success twice over fences at Market Rasen in 2020 and filled runners-up spot over hurdles/fences back at that venue both starts last year. However, lengthy absence to overcome here and others make more appeal. | |||
12th (8)  (28/1 -40%)Hardi Du Mesnil |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hardi Du Mesnil 28/1, Well-related sort who was acquired for €250,000 on back of success in a French juvenile hurdle success and promise when runner-up in an introductory hurdle at Newbury (16.3f) 11 months ago. Absent since but interesting connections who won this last year pitch him in here on handicap bow. |

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.
