1st (5) (2.25/1 -29%) Beat Box |
2.25/1(-29%) | (5) Beat Box 2.25/1, Returned after a breathing op with good running-on second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) 48 days ago. Took this contest 12 months ago so he merits serious consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/1 +41%) Atlantic Dancer |
5/1(+41%) | (6) Atlantic Dancer 5/1, Took advantage of a drop in the weights to open account in C&D handicap in March. Off since modest eighth at Kelso following month but she's handily weighted if fully tumed up for her return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (20/1 -100%) Dot Cotton |
20/1(-100%) | (3) Dot Cotton 20/1, Ended time with Paul Nolan with a good second in a mares' maiden at Wexford (3m) but she came in last of 9 in handicap here 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (40/1 -100%) Ingleby Mackenzie |
40/1(-100%) | (1) Ingleby Mackenzie 40/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but well held all 5 starts this year, including for new yard the last twice. Something to prove for now returned to hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (3.33/1 +52%) Oot Ma Way |
3.33/1(+52%) | (7) Oot Ma Way 3.33/1, Fair winning hurdler who shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Kelso (16.2f) 18 days ago. Not discounted off a 2 lb lower mark now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (4/1 -33%) Sullivan's Brow |
4/1(-33%) | (2) Sullivan's Brow 4/1, Irish point winner who gained a maiden success under Rules when taking a 2m novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in January. Off 9 months before fading fifth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (20.5f) 21 days ago so needs considering now back down in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/1 -83%) Sanosuke |
11/1(-83%) | (4) Sanosuke 11/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland. Has yet to match that form over hurdles and returned from 6 months off with below-form fifth of 10 in novice at Musselburgh (15.6f) 50 days ago. More is needed on his handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 +58%) Charlie's Rockstar |
14/1(+58%) | (8) Charlie's Rockstar 14/1, Runner-up in Irish points in April and showed first form under Rules when fourth of 8 in maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in October. Subsequent handicap debut effort was poor, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -43%) Fenno's Soldier |
40/1(-43%) | (9) Fenno's Soldier 40/1, Poor form shown thus far and he goes handicapping from a stone out of the handicap. Hard to warm to. |

1st (2) (2.5/1 +71%) Bois Guillbert |
2.5/1(+71%) | (2) Bois Guillbert 2.5/1, Ivanhowe gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful French chaser (2½m winner) Royale Francois. Mid-field effort on debut at Aintree last month was promising. Of interest switched to hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1.5/1 -142%) Sailing Grace |
1.5/1(-142%) | (3) Sailing Grace 1.5/1, Dartmouth filly. Dam (h112), bumper/2m-19f hurdle winner, sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Taniokey. Jumped left at times but still managed to make a winning debut at Newton Abbot in October. One to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (18/1 +18%) Beat The Retreat |
18/1(+18%) | (1) Beat The Retreat 18/1, Didn't go unbacked on debut in a bumper here last month (tongue tied) but he finished last of 6. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5.5/1 +27%) Smart Deal |
5.5/1(+27%) | (4) Smart Deal 5.5/1, 10,000 3-y-o, second foal: dam 7f/1m winner. Hooded for debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

40/1(+0%) | (5) Lady Hobbs 40/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Brushed Up. Dam (b91) placed on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Held back by mistakes on last month's debut at Doncaster. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Noble Intrigue |
4.5/1(+0%) | (6) Noble Intrigue 4.5/1, Nathaniel filly. Dam unraced. Prominent in the betting and opening run in a Wetherby bumper 3 weeks ago wasn't devoid of promise. |

1st (14) (2.5/1 +0%) Ruby Island |
2.5/1(+0%) | (14) Ruby Island 2.5/1, Trans Island filly who has built a solid profile in bumpers, off the mark at Hexham in March and acquitting herself with plenty of credit in stronger company at Aintree/Cheltenham this autumn. Type to make her mark over hurdles, including over further. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (6.5/1 +19%) Thistle Ask |
6.5/1(+19%) | (12) Thistle Ask 6.5/1, Only midfield in bumpers but showed plenty when second of 24 in a Naas maiden on his hurdle debut in February (final start for Stuart Crawford). Ran below that level on his reappearance/stable debut at Newcastle 26 days ago but probably needed the run. Hood back on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (40/1 -60%) Fia Fuinidh |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Fia Fuinidh 40/1, Placed on the second of 2 outings in Irish points but just minor promise so far under Rules. Handicaps presumably after this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (50/1 -25%) Shir I Dont Know |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Shir I Dont Know 50/1, Just modest in bumpers and well held in a pair of novice hurdles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 +20%) Prince Of Perth |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Prince Of Perth 16/1, Sent off 33/1 but offered something to work on when fourth in a C&D bumper on debut 59 days ago. Longer trip should help now switched to hurdling, so not a forlorn hope. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 +28%) Cream Of The West |
18/1(+28%) | (2) Cream Of The West 18/1, £20,000 4-y-o, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to 2 point winners. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Moscow Court. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Oct 2020). Market for clues. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (0.8/1 -10%) Ivar |
0.8/1(-10%) | (6) Ivar 0.8/1, Fair form when runner-up in a pair of 4-y-o events at Pau in December last year and filled same position on return/yard debut at Bangor last month, held run-in but pulling clear of rest. Had a breathing op since and looks the one to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (33/1 +18%) Tenbobeachway |
33/1(+18%) | (11) Tenbobeachway 33/1, Looks one more for the longer term. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (100/1 +0%) Shantou Moon |
100/1(+0%) | (8) Shantou Moon 100/1, Maiden Irish pointer who is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind, unsuited by drop in trip when down the field at Kelso (16.2f) 18 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (28/1 -12%) Eloi Du Puy |
28/1(-12%) | (3) Eloi Du Puy 28/1, 10/3, went backwards from hurdling debut when eighth of 9 in a novice at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 28 days ago. Has something to prove now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (150/1 -127%) Highlander Hill |
150/1(-127%) | (5) Highlander Hill 150/1, Mahler gelding who showed only a bit in Carlisle bumper on debut last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (300/1 -100%) Vango Opera |
300/1(-100%) | (13) Vango Opera 300/1, Well held both starts in maiden hurdles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (200/1 -60%) Tarquin Stardust |
200/1(-60%) | (10) Tarquin Stardust 200/1, Shaped as if better for the run in a Wetherby bumper on debut in February but has shown little in a brace of novice hurdles 8 months apart. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (250/1 -150%) Captain Nelson |
250/1(-150%) | (1) Captain Nelson 250/1, Showed nothing in a C&D bumper on debut 8 months ago so easily passed over. |

1st (2) (8.5/1 -155%) Lock's Corner |
8.5/1(-155%) | (2) Lock's Corner 8.5/1, Back on track returned to this sphere following a break, going close at Ludlow prior to scoring in decisive fashion at Catterick (19.3f). 7 lb rise looks manageable (has won off significantly higher marks than this over fences) and he's a major player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (12/1 +0%) Gaius |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Gaius 12/1, Irish raider who landed back-to-back handicaps at Punchestown (20.7f) and Sligo (25.4f) in October. Good run of form came to a grinding halt last time, though, and he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (2.25/1 +0%) Gold Emery |
2.25/1(+0%) | (7) Gold Emery 2.25/1, Point winner who made perfect start under Rules when off the mark in 17f Carlisle maiden hurdle back in February, staying on well. Likely to improve sent straight into a handicap on return and leading claims with this trip expected to suit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4.5/1 +36%) Half Track |
4.5/1(+36%) | (5) Half Track 4.5/1, Winner of a novice event here last December but subsequently failed to progress in handicaps and returns to this sphere following a series of non-completions over fences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (3.5/1 +13%) Rae Des Champs |
3.5/1(+13%) | (8) Rae Des Champs 3.5/1, Progressive last season, winning 2m handicap at Musselburgh in March and signing off with a good second in Kelso handicap (2m) 24 days later. Creditable reappearance fourth at Newcastle (2½m) and this 5-y-o remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (40/1 +0%) Kalaharry |
40/1(+0%) | (9) Kalaharry 40/1, Has slipped to an attractive mark but last season was something of a washout and he hasn't shown any signs of a revival in 2 starts since returning to action in October. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (80/1 -60%) Faron |
80/1(-60%) | (1) Faron 80/1, Dual hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien this year and ended his time with that stable with a creditable second in a Ballinrobe handicap in August. However, he was beaten a long way out on sole start for Patrick Neville last month and since changed hands again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (3.33/1 +61%) Eternally Yours |
3.33/1(+61%) | (4) Eternally Yours 3.33/1, Snapped a losing run stretching back almost 4 years (albeit she's stood very little racing in that time) when narrowly getting the better of Charm Offensive (winner since) over C&D last month. Remains feasibly treated up 4 lb and yard saddled the winner of this in 2020. |

1st (3) (2.75/1 +66%) Choosethenews |
2.75/1(+66%) | (3) Choosethenews 2.75/1, £12,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner Find A Key. Wide-margin winner sole outing in points (Apr 30), so well worth a market check on Rules debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1.88/1 +0%) Step Above |
1.88/1(+0%) | (2) Step Above 1.88/1, Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt and bought for 40,000 gns. Underwent a breathing op and tongue tied, he made a winning hurdles debut over 20.4f here last month. Expected to build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.25/1 -147%) Are U Wise To That |
2.25/1(-147%) | (1) Are U Wise To That 2.25/1, Bought for £125,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points and ran out comfortable winner of a Warwick bumper on Rules debut. Followed up with easy success in a weak race on Uttoxeter hurdling debut in October despite his jumping lacking fluency, and is open to improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/1 +17%) Home Sweet Highway |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Home Sweet Highway 5/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points in January and a £50,000 buy. From a decent jumping family and would have been placed but for a late fall on hurdles debut won by Step Above here last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (80/1 +60%) Miss Smartypants |
80/1(+60%) | (6) Miss Smartypants 80/1, Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Steel City and bumper winner/fair hurdler Miss Sassypants, stays 2½m. Set to be placed (albeit at a remote distance) when unseating rider on debut in April 2021. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (150/1 +0%) Long To Be |
150/1(+0%) | (5) Long To Be 150/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Arcade Attraction (2m-21f winner). Dam, placed in bumper/no impact over hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Attaglance and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Hi George. Stopped quickly in a bumper last month. |

1st (9) (12/1 +40%) Hitman Fred |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Hitman Fred 12/1, Won 4 times over fences in the first half of 2021 and shaped as if retaining all ability after 17 months off when third of 6 in handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, soft, 18/1) 18 days ago. Racing from career-high mark again here but isn't fully ruled out of making the frame. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +33%) Lord Roco |
3/1(+33%) | (3) Lord Roco 3/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner has shaped with encouragement when runner-up both starts over fences this season, doing his best work late at Newcastle last month. Very much unexposed as a staying chaser and he should be in the mix. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (3/1 +25%) Destiny Is All |
3/1(+25%) | (7) Destiny Is All 3/1, Successful on 3 of his last 4 outings, producing a career-best when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Nudged up another 3 lb but he's a reliable sort and should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2.5/1 +0%) Return Fire |
2.5/1(+0%) | (6) Return Fire 2.5/1, Left chasing debut form behind when a ready winner at Hexham in November before quickly following up at Newcastle less than a week later. Jumping already looks an asset and he's the one beat again from 8 lb higher mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (16/1 +36%) Don't Tell Allen |
16/1(+36%) | (8) Don't Tell Allen 16/1, Formerly trained in Ireland by John Queally and made a mildly promising debut for this yard when a never-threatening fourth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (20.5f, soft) 54 days ago. Should prove suited by this longer trip but more still needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6.5/1 -8%) Tim Pat |
6.5/1(-8%) | (1) Tim Pat 6.5/1, Progressive over hurdles and took well to chasing last term, winning his first 2 starts in this sphere at Carlisle and Haydock. Entitled to come on for recent return at Bangor but will need to resume progress to defy mark 6 lb higher than latest success. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 -17%) Cobolobo |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Cobolobo 14/1, Winless since 2020 but went down only narrowly at Ascot in January and shaped reasonably well in a better race there on his next outing. Possibly amiss (folded quickly) at Warwick on his return and could be interesting from a much-reduced mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (40/1 -122%) Ard Chros |
40/1(-122%) | (5) Ard Chros 40/1, Front-runner landed hat-trick of wins between 2m-2½m at Carlisle and Ayr (2) late last season. Went off too hard when soundly beaten in his 4-timer bid and makes return over trip he's yet to fully convince over. |

1st (9) (2.5/1 +9%) Lisloran |
2.5/1(+9%) | (9) Lisloran 2.5/1, Maiden pointer who left previous Rules form behind when landing a gamble over C&D last time, showing a good attitude. Can probably do better still. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3.33/1 +26%) Warriors Story |
3.33/1(+26%) | (8) Warriors Story 3.33/1, Fair bumper form for Keith Dalgleish and built on previous promise over hurdles when landing a Newcastle handicap (20.3f, good) in April. Satisfactory start over fences at Sedgefield a month ago and open to improvement with a tongue tie on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 -13%) Sputnik |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Sputnik 9/1, Off the mark over fences at Hexham in April and had bit in hand when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Ayr October. Let down by his jumping last time but should bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 +13%) Caboy |
7/1(+13%) | (3) Caboy 7/1, Winless since scoring over fences in France back in 2018 and not at best following a break and a wind operation over C&D last time. Could build on that in a first-time visor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (16/1 -14%) Shoughall's Boy |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Shoughall's Boy 16/1, Back-to-back wins in 20f course handicap hurdles to end 2021. Shaped as if needing the run sent chasing at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) in October and he should last longer today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (20/1 -43%) Without Conviction |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Without Conviction 20/1, Off 6 months before fair third of 5 in handicap over at Hexham in October. Ran poorly returned to hurdling/a longer trip at Kelso just under a month ago but return to chasing should help. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (12/1 -60%) Ardera Cross |
12/1(-60%) | (4) Ardera Cross 12/1, Dual 2m winner here last winter (both on heavy) and bounce back ed to form when runner-up to Lisloran over C&D last time. Should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/1 +18%) The Electrician |
9/1(+18%) | (5) The Electrician 9/1, Modest maiden over hurdles but got his head in front at the second attempt in this sphere at Hexham (2½m, soft) in May. Proved that no fluke when runner-up over the same C&D next time and likely neeeded the run here returning from a break here on latest outing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (14/1 +13%) Castlegrange |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Castlegrange 14/1, Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who continues to fall in the weights for current yard without looking like taking advantage. Thirteen runs since his only win back in March last year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (14/1 +30%) Punches Cross |
14/1(+30%) | (2) Punches Cross 14/1, Hasn't shown much since joining present yard and while he was entitled to need the run back from a lengthy absence at Stratford in October, there wasn't enough encouragement in that effort to make him of serious interest here. |

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.
