1st (1)  (1.38/1 +0%)City Chief |
1.38/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) City Chief 1.38/1, Successful pointer who didn't need to improve to get off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt in a 4-runner maiden at Hereford (25.5f) 20 days ago, travelling/jumping fluently in lead. Into handicaps now and remains open to improvement. | |||
2nd (5)  (9/1 -13%)Hidden Heroics |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hidden Heroics 9/1, Point winner who got off the mark over hurdles following a breathing operation at Newcastle (20.3f) last month, driven out. More needed now handicapping, but he's still lightly raced and is bred to stay this longer trip. | |||
3rd (6)  (8.5/1 +6%)Starlyte |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Starlyte 8.5/1, Fair bumper winner who came good over hurdles in 9-runner novice handicap at Southwell (20.4f) 11 days ago, readily. This is a much better race but she has to be respected under a penalty. | |||
4th (4)  (2.75/1 +39%)Half Track |
2.75/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Half Track 2.75/1, Took another step forward to open his account in a 21f novice here in December, battling well. Failed to improve when third in his first handicap at Doncaster since, but it remains early days, so could yet resume progress. | |||
5th (2)  (5.5/1 -38%)Shearer |
5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shearer 5.5/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces when off the mark in a 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Newbury (20.5f, soft) 28 days ago, battling well. Nudged up 7 lb but can give another good account. | |||
6th (3)  (25/1 -79%)Donna's Double |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Donna's Double 25/1, Newcastle bumper who added to his tally when a fortunate winner of a 16.2 novice there in early February. Better effort when second to Hidden Heroics up in trip next time but opening mark could have been kinder. |

1st (3)  (2/1 +27%)Thunder Rock |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thunder Rock 2/1, Landed a hat-trick at Huntingon in February but only briefly looked at threat when mid-field in the EBF Final at Sandown last month. This is less competitive and he can go well. | |||
2nd (2)  (3/1 -33%)Grey Skies |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grey Skies 3/1, Made it 2-2 for this stable when readily defying a penalty at Kelso (2m, heavy) last month. Likely he'll be hard to beat again. | |||
3rd (1)  (6.5/1 +7%)Clondaw Hollow |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Clondaw Hollow 6.5/1, Dual winner this season and he ran to form after a 4 month break when second of 9 at Downpatrick (18.8f) 12 days ago, closing all way to line. Impossible to rule out with recent run now under his belt. | |||
4th (4)  (2.12/1 +23%)Irish Blaze |
2.12/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Irish Blaze 2.12/1, Point winner who looked a useful prospect when taking a 25-runner Navan novice on Rules debut. Likely has more to come and he should be suited by this step up in trip. | |||
|F| (5)  (22/1 -175%)Peaceful Sunday |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Peaceful Sunday 22/1, Got off the mark in a Fairyhouse novice (16.5f) 34 days ago but probably needs to find more in this company. |

1st (7)  (2/1 -60%)Platinumcard |
2/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Platinumcard 2/1, Well held in 3 hurdles runs last winter but subsequently developed into a useful performer on the Flat for Keith Dalgelish, winning 4 times. Tongue tied first time. Very interesting on handicap hurdle debut for new trainer Gordon Elliott. | |||
2nd (6)  (2.25/1 +44%)Soft Risk |
2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Soft Risk 2.25/1, Lost unbeaten record when 3¼ lengths second of 5 to Since Day On on 2m Newcastle handicap 34 days ago but it was another solid effort and this strong traveller appeals as one who should have more to come. | |||
3rd (2)  (40/1 -122%)Ingleby Hollow |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ingleby Hollow 40/1, Successful twice on the Flat last summer for David O'Meara. Ended 2021 in good form over hurdles for current trainer, winning 2m Doncaster handicap in November. Only nudged up 2 lb but this 10-y-o is possibly vulnerable to younger legs in this line-up. | |||
4th (1)  (4.5/1 -13%)Since Day One |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Since Day One 4.5/1, Yet another multiple winner for the yard this season, showing useful form when seeing off the reopposing Soft Risk by 3¼ lengths on his 2m Newcastle handicap debut 34 days ago. 5 lb rise unlikely to prevent him making another bold bid. | |||
5th (4)  (8/1 +20%)Kihavah |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kihavah 8/1, Won a novice handicap at Newcastle and a novice at Musselburgh (both 2m) this winter. Blunted by testing ground over the stiff 2m at Sandown in the Imperial Cup last time and treated as if still in form. | |||
6th (5)  (14/1 +30%)Thereisnodoubt |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thereisnodoubt 14/1, Good runner-up efforts on first 2 starts for this yard. Shaped as if still in good form from out of the handicap in Morebattle at Kelso last month. Has a first-time tongue strap added to regular hood. | |||
|F| (3)  (9/1 -20%)John Locke |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) John Locke 9/1, Useful Flat performer who came good over hurdles in 2m Huntingdon maiden in November. Possibly unsuited by much softer ground when pulling up on Kempton handicap debut over Christmas. Retains potential back from a break. |

1st (6)  (2.25/1 +44%)Beakstown |
2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Beakstown 2.25/1, Unreliable type. 14/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f) 34 days ago, but he remains winless in this sphere. Often a weak finisher too. | |||
2nd (5)  (20/1 -208%)Coach Carter |
20/1(-208%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coach Carter 20/1, Fairly useful winning Irish chaser but he hasn't gone on from his chasing debut and only sixth in novice chase at Punchestown (15.8f) 47 days ago. Back up in trip with it to prove. | |||
3rd (7)  (5/1 +0%)Nietzsche |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nietzsche 5/1, Landed this contest 12 months ago. Hasn't quite hit the same heights since, including just a respectable fourth back hurdling at Newbury (2m4f) 21 days ago. More is required. | |||
4th (3)  (2.5/1 +62%)Elvis Mail |
2.5/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Elvis Mail 2.5/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who arrives in good nick, fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f) 27 days ago. Since had wind op and tongue strap on for 1st time. Much respected back in this sphere. | |||
5th (2)  (14/1 -75%)Whoshotthesheriff |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Whoshotthesheriff 14/1, Freshened up by 8 weeks off when easily winning 5-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (20f) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly under his 5 lb penalty. | |||
|F| (1)  (14/1 -133%)Presentandcounting |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Presentandcounting 14/1, Has impressed since switched to fences, making it 5 wins in Stratford novice in September. Off track since below-par third at Chepstow following month, but he still can't be ruled out for good yard after his break. | |||
|U| (4)  (5/1 -43%)Flic Ou Voyou |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Flic Ou Voyou 5/1, Looked in good order after 3 months off and posted excellent second of 6 in handicap chase at Sandown (20f) 20 days ago. Weighted to go well here despite 2 lb rise. |

2.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Get A Tonic 2.5/1, Runner-up in listed company on her last 2 outings, somewhat throwing the race away at Doncaster last time by hanging badly left. Has to be taken seriously on her first handicap start. | |||
2nd (5)  (8.5/1 +6%)Motown Maggie |
8.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Motown Maggie 8.5/1, Scored at Fairyhouse in November and ran the first disappointing race of her career when down the field at Punchestown 37 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly but this is a tough assignment. | |||
3rd (4)  (12/1 -100%)Wynn House |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wynn House 12/1, Consistent mare who found improvement to get up late in Wincanton handicap on return in November. Held her form both starts since, including when third behind Glimpse of Gala last time and she holds place claims. | |||
4th (7)  (10/1 +17%)Flower Of Scotland |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Flower Of Scotland 10/1, Won in novice company at Kelso in December and wasn't disgraced when fourth on her handicap hurdle debut over C&D last time out. Doesn't look to have too much hidden from the assessor, though. | |||
5th (9)  (20/1 +9%)Jessiemac |
20/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jessiemac 20/1, Thorough stayer who needed every yard at score at Catterick (25f) in January. Only mid-field over C&D last time and is probably up against it in a better grade here. | |||
6th (8)  (5/1 +0%)Timeless Beauty |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Timeless Beauty 5/1, Improved model over fences this season, producing a career best to score at Wetherby in February. Not ruled out on her first hurdles start for this yard. | |||
7th (3)  (5.5/1 -10%)Glimpse Of Gala |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glimpse Of Gala 5.5/1, Forged clear to gain her third win of the season at Ludlow last month and this progressive type can't be ruled out, despite a 6 lb rise in the weights. | |||
8th (2)  (40/1 -122%)Pearl Of The West |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pearl Of The West 40/1, Fairly ueful performer at best but has made no impact this season. | |||
|F| (6)  (4.5/1 +44%)Aurora Thunder |
4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Aurora Thunder 4.5/1, Runner-up in this last season. Placed both starts since winning at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and she's likely to give another good account of herself. |

0.67/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dubai Days 0.67/1, Multiple hurdles winner who opened chase account in novices' handicap here (20.5f) in December. Resumed progress when successful at Kelso (17.1f) 27 days ago, with Bruce Lynn in the saddle. Leading contender. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.33/1 +17%)Dino Velvet |
3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dino Velvet 3.33/1, Four-time hurdle winner who made a winning chase debut in 5-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m) in July. Off 3 months prior to his last 2 starts and could do better this time with conditions to suit. | |||
3rd (3)  (8/1 -45%)The Mouse Doctor |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Mouse Doctor 8/1, Versatile performer who has finished runner-up over fences/on Flat upon joining new yard. Not in the same form in both starts over fences since, but ran creditably when fifth at Wolverhampton 18 days ago. More needed returned to chasing. | |||
4th (1)  (6/1 -80%)Heartbreak Kid |
6/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Heartbreak Kid 6/1, Off the mark at the eighth attempt over fences at Sedgefield in January. Found plenty for pressure to follow up at Uttoxeter (2m) 13 days later but run of good form came to a halt when well held at Kelso 27 days ago. |

3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Stringtoyourbow 3/1, Left his qualifying runs well behind when close second on 20.5f Newbury handicap debut 28 days ago, just edged out after travelling best. Up in trip. Interesting contender. | |||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +33%)Colonel Manderson |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Colonel Manderson 4/1, Failed to complete on return/debut for new yard over fences, but has improved back hurdling since, winning a 3m Southwell handicap before a creditable second at Warwick. Another to consider. | |||
3rd (3)  (16/1 -45%)Ballycoose |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballycoose 16/1, Bumper winner who made a winning start to his hurdle career over 2m here in December. Similar form when fourth in 20.5f course novice last month. Steps up in trip again for handicap debut. Retains potential. | |||
4th (6)  (6/1 +0%)Deluxe Range |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Deluxe Range 6/1, Winning hurdler who made an inauspicious start over fences to end 2021 but better signs back hurdling, finishing third of 8 at Warwick last month. Well handicapped on his best form. | |||
5th (4)  (6/1 +14%)Your Own Story |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Your Own Story 6/1, Dual point scorer who confirmed his hurdling debut promise when landing a 6-runner novice at Carlisle (25f) 3 weeks ago. Likely there's more to come from him now moving into handicaps. | |||
6th (2)  (12/1 -50%)Skatman |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Skatman 12/1, Won first 2 hurdles. Found life tougher in handicaps last twice but has been given a break since fading into fourth on testing ground at Doncaster in December. Remains unexposed for his top stable. | |||
7th (1)  (7/1 -75%)Loughderg Rocco |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Loughderg Rocco 7/1, Irish point winner who has taken well to hurdling, winning a Musselburgh maiden last month. More will be needed if he's to defy top weight on handicap debut but no shock were he to find it. Cheekpieces on first time. | |||
8th (5)  (25/1 -79%)Taxmeifyoucan |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Taxmeifyoucan 25/1, Has struggled for form in varied events since 3¼m success at Musselburgh 14 months ago but he is on a good mark and it's interesting that Brian Hughes takes the ride again. Worth a precationary market check. | |||
9th (8)  (9/1 -13%)Smokey The Bandit |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Smokey The Bandit 9/1, Fair maiden. Runner-up in 2 handicaps at Newcastle since the blinkers have gone on but a bit more will likely be needed if he's to go one better in this higher grade. |

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.
