1st (2)  (0.62/1 +23%)Mortlach |
0.62/1(+23%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mortlach 0.62/1, Really motoring for new yard, following up his maiden hurdle win at Warwick (19f) with victory on first go over fences in 2m Huntingdon novice handicap last week, drawing clear early in the straight and heavily eased on the run-in. More to come and hard to beat (point winner over further). | |||
2nd (1)  (1.75/1 +0%)Could Be Trouble |
1.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Could Be Trouble 1.75/1, Has done well for this yard, much improved from her first stab chasing when landing Warwick mares' novice over this trip 17 days ago. Should go well again now switched to a handicap. | |||
3rd (4)  (14/1 -87%)Decoration Of War |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Decoration Of War 14/1, Dual AW Flat winner and has displayed surprising levels of stamina over hurdles, winning class 5 handicaps at Cartmel and Uttoxeter last summer. Improvement needed to take a hand on chase debut on first run for 7 months. | |||
4th (5)  (16/1 +36%)Ballinslea Bridge |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ballinslea Bridge 16/1, Fair hurdler but more bad runs than good in recent times and bit to prove back chasing after a tame showing at Southwell a fortnight ago. |

1st (3)  (2.5/1 +0%)Methusalar |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Methusalar 2.5/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who typically gave his running when third in 15-runner handicap at Market Rasen (20.6f) 18 days ago, every chance run-in. Likely to remain competitive off same mark. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.25/1 -20%)Bright Sunbird |
2.25/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bright Sunbird 2.25/1, Maiden who shaped encouragingly on first run since leaving Paul Nolan when second in 5-runner maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 14 days ago, barely adequate test. One to note back in a handicap in first-time cheekpieces. | |||
3rd (1)  (16/1 -100%)Chestnut Pete |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chestnut Pete 16/1, Showed plenty of ability remains after 20 months off when third in 8-runner maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good, 9/2) 24 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Upped in trip for handicap debut but opening mark looks on the high side. | |||
4th (2)  (5/1 -43%)Maskia |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Maskia 5/1, Safely held in a bumper but his form steadily went the right way in a trio of novice hurdles. Continued progress when beaten only ½ length on handicap debut at Doncaster in March, pulling clear of rest, and can go well again from 3 lb higher. | |||
5th (5)  (2.75/1 +50%)Annies Prayer |
2.75/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Annies Prayer 2.75/1, Maiden who shaped quite well first 2 starts in handicaps but has been disappointing subsequently. Hooded for first time. |

1st (2)  (0.8/1 +60%)Stony Man |
0.8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stony Man 0.8/1, Fair form in bumpers and displayed some promise in a pair of maiden hurdles, including in a warm race at Doncaster (20.8f) on final outing in January. Could have a big say in these much calmer waters. | |||
2nd (3)  (3/1 -71%)Tip Top Tonto |
3/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tip Top Tonto 3/1, Hinted at ability in bumpers and took a big step forward from his hurdling debut when third in 2m maiden at Plumpton 16 days ago, rallying well late. May do better still and solid claims. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.5/1 -86%)Copper Fox |
3.5/1(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Copper Fox 3.5/1, Runner-up sole outing in points and offered something to work on when filling same spot in a C&D maiden on Rules debut 10 days ago. Should improve. | |||
4th (5)  (25/1 +50%)Dee Eire |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dee Eire 25/1, No better than mid-field in 4 bumpers and jumped awkwardly when well held on C&D hurdles debut. Hooded for 1st time. | |||
5th (4)  (25/1 -79%)Islebriand |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Islebriand 25/1, Showed some ability when third in 4-runner bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, good, 3/1) on NH debut 35 days ago, keeping on gradually. Makes a quick switch to hurdling but Copper Fox looks stable's first string on jockey bookings. |

1st (3)  (1.1/1 +33%)Daranova |
1.1/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Daranova 1.1/1, Good start for this yard, making up for a late unseat over C&D when winning easily in cheekpieces back here 10 days ago. 10 lb rise may not stop him. | |||
2nd (5)  (3/1 +25%)San Agustin |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) San Agustin 3/1, Came good over fences at Leicester in December and creditable third over 3m at Exeter and Warwick last month. Should be thereabouts again. | |||
3rd (2)  (4.5/1 -13%)Ecossais |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ecossais 4.5/1, Three-time winner over fences at Southwell during 2020/21 campaign. Form has been a little up and down more recently but he did run well when 4 lengths second at Kelso last time, travelling well long way. Big player if in the same form. | |||
4th (1)  (20/1 -167%)For Jim |
20/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) For Jim 20/1, Five-time winner last season, including over C&D. However, he could only manage last of 5 on his 2½m course reappearance 10 days ago so he'll need to have come on a fair bit. | |||
|PU| (4)  (7.5/1 -15%)Potters Venture |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Potters Venture 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler but yet to get close to that level over fences, his latest 2½m Leicester third coming in a weak 4-runner race. Yet to prove he stays 3m either so others make more obvious appeal. | |||
|PU| (6)  (25/1 -39%)Fly Smart |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fly Smart 25/1, Bumper winner in France who failed to meet expectations over hurdles for Willie Mullins and has pulled up on all 3 starts for this yard (the latest in C&D chase won by Daranova). Fair to say that first-time blinkers need to make a difference. |

1st (4)  (3.5/1 +71%)Simply Red |
3.5/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Simply Red 3.5/1, Easy to back and looked a hard ride on first run since leaving Oliver Greenall when seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 19 days ago. | |||
2nd (1)  (0.53/1 -20%)Durragh |
0.53/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Durragh 0.53/1, Opened her account in convincing fashion at Perth in April and made a light of a 7 lb rise as she followed up by a similar margin there (16.2f) 12 days ago. Hit with 9 lb rise but that may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. | |||
3rd (5)  (4.5/1 -64%)Iroseaboveitall |
4.5/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Iroseaboveitall 4.5/1, No sign of ability so far but now goes handicapping for new yard following a break and may do better. Market useful. | |||
|PU| (2)  (22/1 -38%)Optical Girl |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Optical Girl 22/1, Showed her first form over hurdles when fourth at Chepstow in March, seen to good effect by a change of tactics. Failed to repeat that effort at Exeter though, so bounced back needed on handicap debut. |

1st (2)  (3.5/1 +61%)Steinkraus |
3.5/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Steinkraus 3.5/1, Bagged a third win of last season in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f) fitted with first-time cheekpieces in March. Beaten by more than revised mark at Haydock a month later but this is easier. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -20%)Butler's Brief |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Butler's Brief 3/1, Won three handicaps on the bounce over 23f last spring, bringing up the hat-trick in this corresponding race. Wheels rather came off after but he stopped the slide following a wind op when third at Uttoxeter 10 days ago. Player again. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 -113%)Lelantos |
4/1(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lelantos 4/1, Didn't need to improve to open his account at Southwell in November and followed up at Fakenham a month later, knocking the runner-up off his stride coming to the last. Off since but he's in top hands. | |||
4th (5)  (5/1 +9%)The Vollan |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Vollan 5/1, Winner at Worcester last summer (final run for Charlie Longsdon). Best effort since when second over 3m at Southwell in April and effort there a week later excused as he was unsuited by drop in trip and lost a shoe. | |||
5th (3)  (7/1 +22%)Point Of Principle |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Point Of Principle 7/1, It's now sixteen runs since his last win in 2018 and he merely plugged on for fourth at Warwick over 21f in March. Stable in better form now, though. | |||
6th (4)  (5.5/1 +0%)Blakeney Point |
5.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Blakeney Point 5.5/1, Hasn't gone with that much zest of late but he tackles a new trip here in a change of headgear and is certainly weighted to strike if on a "going" day. |

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.
