1st (1)  (4/1 +0%)Vintage Fizz |
4/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Vintage Fizz 4/1, Gradual improver over hurdles, running his best race yet despite a late error when keeping on for second at Sedgefield (19.8f) in March. Remains unexposed and fancied to feature. | |||
2nd (4)  (14/1 +13%)Not Sure |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Not Sure 14/1, Runner-up in a bumper. Fair form over hurdles last spring but he hasn't been in the same form in a trio of handicaps so far this campaign, pulled up at Exeter (18.5f) in January. Mark has eased further. | |||
3rd (5)  (6/1 -9%)Taragrace |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Taragrace 6/1, Improved to land pair of novice handicap hurdles at up to 17f since the turn of the year but unable to complete the hat-trick tackling a class 2 handicap at Kelso (2m) 2 weeks ago. Return to calmer waters rates an obvious plus. | |||
4th (14)  (8.5/1 +58%)Money For Jam |
8.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Money For Jam 8.5/1, Fourth only start in points and offered little all 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles. Hard to fancy operating from out of the weights on handicap debut. | |||
5th (6)  (18/1 -140%)Follow Your Fire |
18/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Follow Your Fire 18/1, Regained winning thread at Hexham (2m) back in June and largely consistent since, running well to finish third on back of 5 months off at Sedgefield (19.8f) in March. Remains on last winning mark and likely to go well again. | |||
6th (10)  (14/1 -17%)Maisiebella |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Maisiebella 14/1, Low-mileage mare who was all the better for her belated return in February when just failing to reel in re-opposing Taragrace at Carlisle (17f) in March. Return to further a plus on that evidence. | |||
7th (2)  (18/1 -13%)Beach Break |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Beach Break 18/1, Largely struggled to make an impact over hurdles during second half of 2021 but did run with credit a couple of times on Flat around the turn of the year. However, again well held over hurdles on latest start last month. | |||
8th (11)  (50/1 -79%)Classic Tune |
50/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Classic Tune 50/1, Veteran who returned to form from reduced mark when third at Southwell (20.4f) in January, edged out close home. Proved too free when last of 15 at Uttoxeter since but form is up and down in any case. | |||
9th (3)  (7.5/1 +0%)Lucky Lover Boy |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lucky Lover Boy 7.5/1, Flat/multiple hurdles winner earlier in career who has plummeted in weights and ran best race for a while when fourth in 13-runner Carlisle handicap (17f) 3 weeks ago. Possible he can build on that now. | |||
|F| (7)  (12/1 -71%)Atjima |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Atjima 12/1, Fair bumper winner who has shaped with definite promise in mares' novice/maiden hurdles in recent months, midfield in 15-runner event at Wincanton (15.2f) latest. Very much the type to do better now handicapping up in trip. | |||
10th (8)  (2.75/1 +50%)Line Of Descent |
2.75/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Line Of Descent 2.75/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m). Acquired by new yard for135,000 gns in October and promise when fourth in 9-runner juvenile hurdle at Newbury (2m) in December. Not in same form at Hereford next time but still early days and gets handy 4-y-o allowance on handicap bow. | |||
11th (13)  (33/1 +18%)Richardson |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Richardson 33/1, Found some improvement when off the mark in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap (heavy) in December 2020. However, not in anything like the same form in handful of starts thereafter last year. Returns from 11 months off now. | |||
12th (9)  (80/1 -142%)Robeam |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Robeam 80/1, Offered little in 3 starts over hurdles for current yard and easy enough to look elsewhere for all his mark is easing all the time. | |||
|PU| (12)  (50/1 -79%)Boys Of Wexford |
50/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Boys Of Wexford 50/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Showed a bit when seventh of 15 in 2m Warwick novice in November but not scaled same heights all 3 starts since. Not the easiest to weigh up. |

1st (4)  (9/1 -20%)Cenotice |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cenotice 9/1, Opened chase account at Perth last July after 22 months off and has continued in decent nick, resuming winning ways at Newcastle before second at Ludlow. Found things too competitive at Carlisle last time but should make more of an impact down in grade. | |||
2nd (7)  (12/1 +14%)Billingsley |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Billingsley 12/1, Returned to form when accounting for 5 rivals under this rider at Ffos Las (2m) in February. Rather disappointing after an 8 lb rise at Leicester last month and almost certainly found the race coming too soon 2 days later over this C&D. Work to do. | |||
3rd (3)  (8/1 -14%)Twotwothree |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Twotwothree 8/1, Ended 2020/21 campaign on a winning note at Wetherby and not disgraced on completed starts this season (over hurdles). Done for finishing speed as much as anything at Doncaster last month and cheekpieces now tried switched back over fences. | |||
4th (1)  (2.5/1 +9%)Ecume Atlantique |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ecume Atlantique 2.5/1, Fairly useful in France and despite having been pulled up on his last 3 starts for Emmanuel Clayeux, made a successful return from 15 months off at Wetherby 18 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb and sure to be in the mix again. | |||
5th (2)  (6/1 +8%)Katpoli |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Katpoli 6/1, Scored twice over fences in 2019/20 but has been disappointing (made mistakes) since returning from a lengthy absence this season. Blinkers now tried and he continues to tumble in the weights with showing much sign of taking advantage. | |||
|U| (5)  (3.5/1 +13%)Costly Diamond |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Costly Diamond 3.5/1, Strong-travelling front-running chaser who was better than ever when scoring at Sedgefield in September. Faced a stiff task when finishing last of 4 in a listed event at Leicester in January but has to be taken seriously back in a handicap with Hughes booked. | |||
|U| (8)  (5/1 +9%)Ar Mest |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ar Mest 5/1, Exploits distinctly mixed for host of trainers this term but confirmed himself back in better heart when second for new yard at Newcastle in February. Similar form but outbattled by his sole rival back there 29 days ago and others look more well treated. | |||
|PU| (6)  (33/1 -83%)Instant Replay |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Instant Replay 33/1, Bagged his fourth win at Sedgefield in September. Not at that level since, let down by his jumping on his last couple of starts so percentage call is to look elsewhere. |

1st (10)  (6.5/1 +24%)Oceans Red |
6.5/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Oceans Red 6.5/1, Poor maiden hurdler. Also well-held third in 21f Sedgefield handicap on chase debut 5 weeks ago but this ex-pointer does have the potential for better in this sphere. | |||
2nd (7)  (2.75/1 +69%)On The Platform |
2.75/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) On The Platform 2.75/1, Made the frame all 4 starts over fences. Hasn't quite seen out 3m on heavy ground at Uttoxeter on his last 2 starts but ground conditions are unlikely to be quite so testing here. | |||
3rd (8)  (7/1 +7%)Family Pot |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Family Pot 7/1, Made successful chase debut at Ludlow (3m) in November and some creditable efforts in defeat, including third at Wincanton (25f) latest. Yard won this race in 2019. | |||
4th (1)  (6.5/1 -86%)Methodtothemadness |
6.5/1(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Methodtothemadness 6.5/1, Performed with credit when 4 lengths second of 4 over C&D 4 weeks ago and she's back to the same mark as when successful at Hexham last summer. In the mix. | |||
5th (2)  (11/1 +8%)Star Of Rory |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Star Of Rory 11/1, Opened his account in this sphere at Leicester in March but has performed well below that level twice since. Remains to be seen if the step back up in trip helps matters. | |||
6th (6)  (14/1 -65%)Ajay's Ways |
14/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ajay's Ways 14/1, Justified good support to make a winning start over fences at Fakenham (21f) in january but he's benn below that level in 2 starts since, his jumping letting him down back at Fakenham latterly. Has first-time blinkers added to tongue tie. | |||
7th (9)  (100/1 -203%)Ingeborg Zilling |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ingeborg Zilling 100/1, No show in 3 handicaps (2 hurdle, 1 chase) this year. Refitted cheekpieces and a step up in trip will need to spark major improvement. | |||
|U| (4)  (2.12/1 +36%)Daranova |
2.12/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Daranova 2.12/1, Made a good start for new trainer Gary Hanmer when second at Warwick in February, particularly considering he threw in a couple of mistakes. Interesting off his mark and Brian Hughes takes the ride. | |||
|PU| (5)  (50/1 -25%)Monition |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Monition 50/1, Long-standing maiden who has disappointed on 3 of his 4 starts for his present stable. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. Has plenty to prove. |

4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bob's Bar 4/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner who wasn't unduly knocked about once held on his Stratford chasing debut 26 days ago. Has since had a breathing op and should do better. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.75/1 +8%)Harry Du Berlais |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Harry Du Berlais 2.75/1, Irish point winner who hasn't shown a great deal on completed starts over hurdles, but he's the type to do better now sent chasing. | |||
3rd (3)  (2/1 -11%)Dawn Raider |
2/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dawn Raider 2/1, Off the mark in this sphere at Carlisle in February and followed up with ease in 9-runner handicap at Leicester (22.7f) in March. Just as good when runner-up at Newcastle last time and has to be considered the one to beat. | |||
4th (1)  (12/1 -20%)Shetland Bus |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shetland Bus 12/1, Completed hat-trick over hurdles at Perth last summer for Justin Landy. Rare below par effort at Market Rasen in October but was pulled up back chasing for new yard at Stratford last time. Bit to prove. | |||
5th (4)  (3/1 +14%)Bitasweetsymphony |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bitasweetsymphony 3/1, Built on his previous placed efforts when off the mark over C&D in December. More miss than hit since but good-value claimer now takes over in the saddle and has claims if back on song. |

3.2/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dedanser 3.2/1, Placed in an Irish point. Fair form over hurdles but he was well below his best when fading into a remote fourth at Newcastle last time (also jumped poorly). Cheekpieces worn on that occasion quickly discarded. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.5/1 +22%)In Our Dreams |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) In Our Dreams 3.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who ran up to his best when fifth of 11 over 21f at Ludlow in January. Freshened up since. Unlikely to be far away. | |||
3rd (5)  (1.1/1 +27%)Tigerbythetail |
1.1/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tigerbythetail 1.1/1, Half-brother to smart hurdler Roksana. Promise in sole bumper and fair form when in the frame on all 4 starts over hurdles. Up in trip. The one to beat. | |||

7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gms Prince 7/1, Modest in bumpers but has achieved a fair level of form over hurdles, running best race when second at Warwick (2m) in September. Given a break since his respectable seventh at Uttoxeter in October. Up in trip. | |||
5th (1)  (33/1 +0%)Cabhfuilfungi |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cabhfuilfungi 33/1, Only modest in bumpers so isn't an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles. Goes up significantly in trip. |

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.
