Morning Spirit
4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(4) Morning Spirit 4.5/1, Shaped better than bare result on return at Bangor and a pair of third-place finishes in handicaps since confirm he's in good order. Isn't obviously ahead of his mark, though.

Blame The Game
9
9/1(+18%)
(6) Blame The Game 9/1, Point recruit who made a pleasing start under Rules when third in a novice at Fontwell in October. Built on that when narrowly scoring at Plumpton and he retains up in trip for handicap debut.

Soyouthinksoagain
6
6/1(+8%)
(11) Soyouthinksoagain 6/1, Improved performer fitted with cheekpieces, runner-up in a big-field contest at Carlisle before cashing in on the same mark at Stratford a week later. Still well treated up in trip despite 11 lb rise.

Huntsmans Jog

6/1(-20%)
(2) Huntsmans Jog 6/1, Successful spell pointing earlier in the year and strong at the finish when making second start for Fergal O'Brien a winning one at Exeter a fortnight ago. Up 6 lb in a better race.

Hatchet Jack

28/1(+15%)
(13) Hatchet Jack 28/1, Long time off the track and hasn't gone with enough promise in a trio of starts back to seriously consider him.

Poppa Poutine
12
12/1(-85%)
(3) Poppa Poutine 12/1, Runner-up sole start between the flags and made third start under Rules a winning one on handicap debut at Southwell 18 days ago. Limit unlikely to have been reached.

Reallyradical
40
40/1(-60%)
(10) Reallyradical 40/1, Runner-up 3 times over fences last term and cast aside a moody reappearance over the larger obstacles when runner-up in a first-time visor at Plumpton. Others still more convincing.

8th (1) Tide Times (5.5/1 +15%)
Tide Times
5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(1) Tide Times 5.5/1, Winner of sole start between the flags and confirmed the promise of his qualifying runs when justifying support on handicap debut over C&D a month ago. 7 lb rise looks fair.

Fawsley Spirit
8
8/1(+33%)
(8) Fawsley Spirit 8/1, Still a maiden but just about a personal best when finding only a thriving rival too strong at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Same mark here and good-value conditional retains the ride.
9
|PU| (9) Silver Nickel (11/1 +21%)
Silver Nickel
11
11/1(+21%)
(9) Silver Nickel 11/1, Improved form in handicaps of late, well served by step up in trip when third to Tide Times over C&D a month ago. More needed given this is a deeper race.

Freddy Fanatapan
14
14/1(-56%)
(12) Freddy Fanatapan 14/1, Kept out of trouble and ran out a 13-length winner at Uttoxeter a month ago (21.6f). Up 9 lb in a better race and things unlikely to pan out as well this time.

Echo Du Large
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Echo Du Large 14/1, Signs of promise in maiden/novice hurdles last season and looked well served by step up to 21.7f when runner-up on handicap debut at Hereford last month. Winners have come from that race.

5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(2) Dashel Drasher 5.5/1, Likeable, multiple hurdles winner who ended last term with success in 4-runner Haydock novice chase (21.5f). Very fresh on return/back of wind op at that venue in November and likely to be sharper now

Itchy Feet
1.88
1.88/1(-7%)
(3) Itchy Feet 1.88/1, Smart over hurdles and even better over fences last term, winning Grade 1 novice at Sandown. Ran well in Old Roan/Grade 2 Ascot event this campaign but he does need to keep the errors at bay.

Caribean Boy
0.8
0.8/1(+4%)
(1) Caribean Boy 0.8/1, French import who has quickly made up into a smart chaser for present stable, showing a good turn of foot to defeat Fiddlerontheroof in Newbury Gr. 2 (19.8f) last month. Interesting with more to come

Bennys King
6.5
6.5/1(-8%)
(2) Bennys King 6.5/1, Big step forward when landing a Newbury handicap last season and bettered that form when second at this track in January. Respectable reappearance should put him spot on, but stiffer test would suit.
12
2nd (12) Gardefort (33/1 -18%)
Gardefort
33
33/1(-18%)
(12) Gardefort 33/1, Lightly raced and patchy form in recent years but fresh might be the best time to catch him and he's been given a chance by the handicapper ahead of this return from 19 months off.
8

Smarty Wild
8
8/1(-7%)
(8) Smarty Wild 8/1, Good hurdles strike rate and positives to glean from both outings over fences, shaping well despite mistakes when fourth in handicap at Wetherby last time. Well treated if he can brush up his jumping.

Enrichissant
7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(11) Enrichissant 7.5/1, Off the mark at the third attempt over fences last season and at least respectable efforts this term, third under an aggressive ride at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.

Theo
40
40/1(-82%)
(4) Theo 40/1, Useful chaser who looked as good as ever when making a winning return with something to spare (idled) in a veterans' handicap at Leicester recently. This looks much tougher, though.
7
6th (7) Drumcliff (8/1 +27%)
Drumcliff
8
8/1(+27%)
(7) Drumcliff 8/1, Third on 2 of his last 3 outings, including at this course (21f) last time, though he's not the most consistent and his current mark seems about right.
1
7th (1) Mengli Khan (7/1 +36%)
Mengli Khan
7
7/1(+36%)
(1) Mengli Khan 7/1, Smart chaser who signed off for Gordon Elliott by landing a 5-runner minor event at Ballinrobe 104 days ago. Has since moved to another top yard, so one to note back in handicaps.

Early Du Lemo
7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(10) Early Du Lemo 7.5/1, French hurdles winner who opened chase account at Lingfield in January 2019. Proved he retains ability (sole start since) when second in Sandown handicap 15 days ago, and may well come on for that.
6
|PU| (6) Saint De Vassy (4.5/1 +10%)
Saint De Vassy
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(6) Saint De Vassy 4.5/1, Unexposed as a chaser and returned with an authoritative display to make all in a handicap at Exeter 27 days ago. Up 10 lb but could defy it if in the same form.

Saint Sonnet
4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(3) Saint Sonnet 4.5/1, Ex-French recruit who signed off with good seventh in Marsh Chase at Chetlenham last season. Excuses on both outings this term and remains with potential.

Not Another Muddle
20
20/1(-82%)
(5) Not Another Muddle 20/1, Had a good 2019 but was pulled up in the Plate at Cheltenham on his sole outing last term, so returns from another 9 months off with something to prove.

2.25/1(-13%)
(2) Paisley Park 2.25/1, Dominated this division in 2018/19 and won 2 Grade 2s last term. Disappointed in bid to defend World Hurdle but back on track when 1½ lengths second to Thyme Hill at Newbury on return. Obvious claims.

Thyme Hill
1.4
1.4/1(+38%)
(8) Thyme Hill 1.4/1, Excellent debut season over hurdles, winning first 3 starts before good fourth in Albert Bartlett. Took another step forward when beating Paisley Park at Newbury on return. Sure to go close.

Roksana
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(10) Roksana 5.5/1, Smart and likeable mare who put up another good effort when fourth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham. As good as ever when making a winning return in Grade 2 at Wetherby and remains unexposed at 3m.

33/1(-18%)
(9) Younevercall 33/1, Smart hurdler who looked as good as ever after wind op/16 months off when just edged out off a mark of 154 at Kempton 6 weeks ago. Worth another shot at this level.

Third Wind
22
22/1(+12%)
(6) Third Wind 22/1, EBF Final winner as a novice and continued his progress upped in trip last season, placed in Pertemps. Built on encouraging return when good second to Main Fact at Haydock. More needed again, though.

The Worlds End
40
40/1(-21%)
(5) The Worlds End 40/1, Made all in West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby and this race last season but this is a much stronger renewal and pulled up last 2 starts, including on return. Has left Tom George.

(1) Main Fact 6/1, Seeking a remarkable 10-timer having racked up a hat-trick back on the level before making a winning return to hurdles off a mark of 147 at Haydock at first go at 3m. Must be respected up in class.

Cormier
33

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.
