1st (15)  (4/1 +38%)Ardhill |
4/1(+38%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Ardhill 4/1, Just one effort of note in Ireland so far and hopes here very much pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking improvement. | |||
2nd (10)  (6/1 +8%)Imphal |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Imphal 6/1, Has sprouted wings since upped in trip and left with too much to do when bidding for the four-timer at Lingfield (23f) last time. Will benefit from stronger handling here and he needs considering. | |||
3rd (8)  (20/1 -122%)Next Left |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Next Left 20/1, Stepped up on hurdles debut when hitting the crossbar in 20.5f Plumpton novice last month. That form is nothing special, but he's another who possesses potential now upped in trip/handicapping. | |||
4th (13)  (6.5/1 +13%)So Said I |
6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) So Said I 6.5/1, Seemingly benefited form the step up to this trip when opened her account in a mares' novice at Exeter. Mark looks fair now handicapping and she should have a part to play. | |||
5th (6)  (20/1 +20%)Honor Grey |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Honor Grey 20/1, Runner-up in Ayr maiden hurdle in January and bettered his handicap debut effort when third upped to 23.6f on return at Chepstow. Should pick up a race before long, but others preferred this time. | |||
6th (3)  (20/1 +0%)Glencassley |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glencassley 20/1, Landed the odds on first 2 starts in this sphere prior to coming up short in a Grade 2 Cheltenham novice. Since undergone a wind op and needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap. | |||
7th (14)  (28/1 +20%)Delgany Monarch |
28/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Delgany Monarch 28/1, Performed well above market expectations when third on hurdles debut at Lingfield last November, but it's fair to say that he has subsequently failed to build on that promise. | |||
8th (2)  (12/1 -71%)Go Steady |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Go Steady 12/1, Five-time chase winner who, following a wind op, opened his account in this sphere on return at Leicester (20.5f) 16 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and should be in the mix if his stamina holds out. | |||
9th (4)  (40/1 -150%)Father John |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Father John 40/1, Bumper winner who left previous hurdles form well behind when scoring at Worcester in September. Solid third off this mark on subsequent Carlisle handicap bow (2½m), but this is more demanding. | |||
|F| (12)  (12/1 +14%)Pass Me By |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pass Me By 12/1, Confirmed hurdles debut promise when battling well to land the odds in 6-runner Huntingdon novice (25f). Good chance that there's better to come now that he ventures down the handicap route. | |||
|F| (11)  (66/1 -65%)Itsnotwhatyouthink |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Itsnotwhatyouthink 66/1, Runner-up both starts in bumpers and hit frame in pair of novice hurdles at upto 20.5f thereafter. However, well held on handicap bow at Sandown when last seen in February. | |||
10th (16)  (9/1 +50%)Thirtyfourstitches |
9/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Thirtyfourstitches 9/1, Likeable front-runner who scored on debut for new yard at Fontwell in October. Good second here next time and latest run can be excused, so he's not without each-way hope in an open race. | |||
11th (9)  (50/1 -25%)Johnny B |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Johnny B 50/1, More good efforts than bad ones last season, but no impact in a couple of runs this time round and he's now 0-10 over hurdles. | |||
12th (5)  (80/1 -264%)Enormouse |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Enormouse 80/1, Showed fair level of ability when placed in maiden/novice company at Chepstow on final 2 starts of last season, but sizeable step forward needed now upped in trip for this handicap debut. | |||
|PU| (1)  (6/1 -33%)Young Butler |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Young Butler 6/1, Built on hurdles debut promise at Chepstow (19.4f) when landing a 9-runner maiden over the same C&D. Opening mark looks fair and likely there's plenty more to come now faced with a stiffer test. | |||
|PU| (7)  (10/1 -11%)Gaulois |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gaulois 10/1, Placed in Irish maiden hurdles last term and performed to a similar level when third on yard debut at Chepstow(19.4f). Needs improvement now upped in trip for this handicap bow, but that's possible. |

1st (6)  (1.2/1 +52%)L'Homme Presse |
1.2/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) L'Homme Presse 1.2/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who returned from long absence to land a Chepstow novice hurdle on British/yard debut in April. Excellent start over fences when successful 3 weeks ago and there's more to come. | |||
2nd (7)  (18/1 +0%)Legends Ryde |
18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Legends Ryde 18/1, Fair winning hurdler who was well prepared to land a handicap chase on debut over fences at Ffos Las in October. Lacks the class of a few of these but does receive weight all round, | |||
3rd (3)  (7/1 -56%)Messire Des Obeaux |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Messire Des Obeaux 7/1, Formerly a smart novice hurdler and winner of first 2 chase starts at Wincanton (both at 2½m), including the Grade 2 Dipper. Went wrong when looking the winner at Wetherby in March and off since. | |||
4th (2)  (22/1 -57%)Ex Patriot |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ex Patriot 22/1, Consistent and useful chaser in Ireland at up to 22.6f. No impact over hurdles on return in October 2020 and off again since. | |||
5th (1)  (50/1 -25%)Danny Whizzbang |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Danny Whizzbang 50/1, Looked excellent prospect for Paul Nicholls when taking Grade 2 novice but failed to go on as expected. Moved yards and ran no sort of race in the Ladbrokes Trophy on reappearance. | |||
6th (5)  (8.5/1 +0%)Black Op |
8.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Black Op 8.5/1, Cut little ice in the face of stiff tasks last season and disappointing he didn't show more in veterans company at Aintree in October. Massive player on his best form but he isn't the force of old. | |||
|F| (4)  (2.25/1 -38%)Pencilfulloflead |
2.25/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pencilfulloflead 2.25/1, Lots to like about his profile, winning hurdler in 2019-20 and better form over fences last term, scoring in a Grade 2 at Punchestown. More to come and he's the one to beat on return. Tongue tied. |

(10)  (20/1 +0%)Golden Whisky |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Golden Whisky 20/1, Ended last season in fine fettle, winning at Ludlow (20f, heavy) before a couple of good placed efforts. Shaped as if needing the run at Aintree on return and should be much closer to form here. | |||
1st (7)  (3.5/1 -17%)Palmers Hill |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Palmers Hill 3.5/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who is unexposed over fences and had a bit up his sleeve when scoring at Wetherby 5 weeks. Every chance he's still ahead of his mark. | |||
2nd (2)  (14/1 -27%)Diego Du Charmil |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Diego Du Charmil 14/1, Course winner in 2019 who produced a much more encouraging effort than on his return back over fences when fifth at this course 4 weeks ago. Down 3 lb and not one to rule out. | |||
4th (11)  (4.5/1 +59%)Zhiguli |
4.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Zhiguli 4.5/1, Improved in handicap hurdles last winter, doubling his tally at Plumpton in January. Fortunate to make a winning chase bow at Lingfield but not in same form when fourth last month. Can bounce back. | |||
5th (3)  (6.5/1 +19%)Sully D'oc Aa |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sully D'oc Aa 6.5/1, Bagged 2m Punchestown handicap in first-time cheekpieces in spring and all the better for return when third here last month. Mid-race blunder put paid to his chances last time so he's shortlisted. | |||
6th (9)  (3.5/1 +30%)Guy |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Guy 3.5/1, Much improved sent chasing last season, landing 2½m handicap at Huntingdon on return. Has improved further still this year, second at this course (21f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Expected to go well. | |||
7th (4)  (14/1 -56%)Financier |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Financier 14/1, Scored in a maiden at Ludlow in 2019/20 and back on the up after 8 weeks off when winning at Hereford when last seen in March. Up 8 lb and has 9-month absence to overcome. | |||
8th (1)  (33/1 -50%)Dolos |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dolos 33/1, Very smart chaser at his best but his form tailed off towards the end of last season and has offered little on both starts this term, folding tamley here 4 weeks ago. Others are preferred. | |||
9th (5)  (40/1 -60%)Ornua |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ornua 40/1, Useful chaser who regained winning thread in small field minor event at Tramore (21.5f) in July. Below that level over hurdles at Limerick later that month and little to shout about on yard debut. |

1st (2)  (4/1 +20%)Champ |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Champ 4/1, Remarkable winner of the RSA Chase in 2020 but he jumped badly before being pulled up early in Gold Cup there when last seen out in March. Returns over hurdles but highly talented and no forlorn hope. | |||
2nd (9)  (2.5/1 -25%)Thyme Hill |
2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Thyme Hill 2.5/1, Narrowly denied in this event 12 months ago before landing Aintree Stayers' Hurdle in April. Not at his best in Auteuil Grade 1 on his return but no surprise to see him take a big step forward here. | |||
3rd (5)  (5.5/1 +15%)Paisley Park |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Paisley Park 5.5/1, Dual winner of this event, but he's yet to hit top form this term, cheekpieces on when only third to Thomas Darby in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury last month. Tongue tied with a bit to prove now. | |||
4th (8)  (9/1 -29%)Thomas Darby |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Thomas Darby 9/1, Has looked of suspect attitude, but back to his best in first-time tongue tie when winning Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury by 2¼l from On The Blind Side. This demands another step forward, though. | |||
5th (6)  (3.2/1 +20%)Ronald Pump |
3.2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ronald Pump 3.2/1, Runner-up in 2020 Stayers' Hurdle who got right back on track when second to Honeysuckle in Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse (20f) 20 days ago. Irish raider is not ruled out now stepping back up in trip. | |||
6th (4)  (12/1 +25%)On The Blind Side |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) On The Blind Side 12/1, Smart hurdler who got right back on track when second to Thomas Darby in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury last month. More is needed here, however, and yard also have Buzz in too. | |||
7th (7)  (22/1 +45%)Third Wind |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Third Wind 22/1, Looked a stayer on the up when taking Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock only to be pulled up in Aintree Stayers' Hurdle in April. Back from 8 months off now with a fair bit to find on form. | |||
|PU| (3)  (40/1 +0%)Lisnagar Oscar |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lisnagar Oscar 40/1, 2020 Stayers' winner at Cheltenham, but he's gone winless since and came in tailed off in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury last month. Has it all to prove now. |

1st (11)  (7/1 +7%)Annsam |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Annsam 7/1, Progressive over hurdles during 2019/20 and improved further over fences last term. Has returned in form over the smaller obstacles and could make an impact if his jumping holds up. | |||
2nd (5)  (8/1 +43%)Phoenix Way |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Phoenix Way 8/1, Fragile but talented sort who returned with a display of tentative jumping at Newbury on reappearance. Given a chance by the handicapper since, but hard to know if he'll show up on his game. | |||
3rd (7)  (11/1 -10%)Jerrysback |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jerrysback 11/1, Has enjoyed success at this track in the past but it's drawn out flaws in his jumping on his last couple of visits, including over C&D 49 days ago. Not without a chance if he avoids errors. | |||
4th (8)  (40/1 -60%)Valtor |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Valtor 40/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who ended his time for Nicky Henderson in good order, third at Perth 6 months ago. This is a tough assignment starting out for a new stable in a competitive event, though. | |||
5th (12)  (8/1 +6%)Checkitout |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Checkitout 8/1, Improved with back-to-back 3m wins at Southwell and Ludlow in the spring. Placed both start this term but this looks a bit more competitive. | |||
8th (2)  (18/1 -50%)Regal Encore |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Regal Encore 18/1, Not the easiest to catch right but has become well handicapped and he has won this race twice in the past. Long in the tooth now, but can't be completely dismissed. | |||
|F| (3)  (6.5/1 +7%)Caribean Boy |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Caribean Boy 6.5/1, Smart chaser who ran respectably in form terms when mid-field in a Cheltenham handicap on reappearance. Good enough to compete off this mark and cheekpieces might add some more zip. | |||
|R| (1)  (7.5/1 +6%)Cloth Cap |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cloth Cap 7.5/1, Big improver last term and has shaped quite well on both outings this term, going off too hard in his bid to defend his Ladbrokes Trophy crown at Newbury last time. Definite player down in grade | |||
|PU| (6)  (8/1 -7%)Grand Sancy |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Grand Sancy 8/1, Smart hurdler who has proved useful over fences and looked right back on his game when fourth in a Newbury handicap last time. Bold show likely if the race is run to suit. | |||
|PU| (9)  (12/1 +0%)Storm Control |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Storm Control 12/1, Bold-jumping front-runner who scored twice at Cheltenham last season but needs to put a tame reappearance at that track behind him. Return to usual tactics should see him in a better light. |

(12)  (9/1 +0%)Luttrell Lad |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Luttrell Lad 9/1, Useful in bumpers last term, winning twice and fourth in Grade 2 at Aintree. Good start over hurdles, despite being beaten as favourite last time, and he appeals as one who could do well in handicaps. | |||
(14)  (33/1 +0%)Mack The Man |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Mack The Man 33/1, Added to his decent record when fresh when winning 2m Exeter handicap last month. Only raised 3 lb but this is a good deal more competitive. | |||
1st (7)  (8/1 +27%)Tritonic |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tritonic 8/1, Smart on Flat and has quickly reached similar level over hurdles. Creditable fifth of 19 in Greatwood at Cheltenham last month but West Cork and No Ordinary Joe were ahead of him. | |||
2nd (11)  (14/1 -17%)Onemorefortheroad |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Onemorefortheroad 14/1, Made it 5 wins in his last 6 starts when making all over 2m at Newbury 21 days ago. Very likeable type but he'll find it a lot tougher to dominate this field. | |||
3rd (3)  (9/1 +36%)Garry Clermont |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Garry Clermont 9/1, Showed improved form to readily land a 19f Warwick handicap in May and stepped up again when runner-up over C&D 4 weeks ago, a late error probably costing him victory. Should go well again. | |||
4th (4)  (33/1 -32%)Metier |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Metier 33/1, Looked good when winning first 3 starts over timber, including Grade 1 Tolworth. However, he flopped in Supreme at Festival in March and dropped out tamely in Sandown race won by Samarrive on return. | |||
5th (6)  (3.5/1 +56%)West Cork |
3.5/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) West Cork 3.5/1, Made light of a 631-day absence to win Greatwood at Cheltenham on reappearance, finsding extra despite his jockey dropping his whip on the run-in. 7 lb rise won't prevent a bold bid if in same form. | |||
6th (8)  (18/1 -13%)Llandinabo Lad |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Llandinabo Lad 18/1, Quickly reached useful level over hurdles last term, winning twice at 2m. Solid reappearance second to Hunters Call over 19.5f at Bangor last month. Fine back at shorter. Another who could go well. | |||
7th (1)  (6/1 +20%)Goshen |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Goshen 6/1, Easy win in Kingwell at Wincanton in February shows he is high-class on his day and he likely needed run back from 7 months off when fourth in 19f course Grade 2 4 weeks ago. Handicap debut. | |||
8th (13)  (12/1 +14%)Benson |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Benson 12/1, Winner of first 3 starts last term and fourth in this race. Raced lazily when 13½ lengths fourth of 11 to Samarrive at Sandown 2 weeks ago and the visor which is added now may help. | |||
9th (2)  (25/1 -39%)Drop The Anchor |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Drop The Anchor 25/1, Developed into a smart handicap hurdler last year, finishing well for 3 lengths seventh of 25 in County at Cheltenham in March. Warmed up for this with a placed effort on the Flat in October. | |||
10th (10)  (50/1 +0%)Global Citizen |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Global Citizen 50/1, Smart front-running hurdle/chaser at best. Finally showed he retains some ability when second over 19.5f at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, going off too hard in first-time headgear. Drop to 2m may help. | |||
|PU| (9)  (2.75/1 +31%)No Ordinary Joe |

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.
