1st (4)  (1.2/1 +40%)Midnight Jewel |
1.2/1(+40%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Midnight Jewel 1.2/1, Building up a fine strike rate, seeing off a subsequent winner after that one's mistake at the last in 21.6f Fontwell handicap chase 3 weeks ago. Good shout again up 5 lb. | |||
2nd (6)  (3.2/1 +29%)Obey The Rules |
3.2/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Obey The Rules 3.2/1, Bagged a third success over fences in 17.2f Market Rasen handicap last month. Fair run at Stratford since but more needed in this and also unproven over the trip. | |||
3rd (1)  (12/1 -50%)Rostello |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rostello 12/1, Well held in 3 runs since his July Stratford success, not jumping great back there the last twice, and yard remains quiet. | |||
4th (3)  (25/1 -79%)Cracking Find |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cracking Find 25/1, Won handicap chase at Newcastle over this trip on final start in 2021/22 and several creditable efforts last term. On a good mark if returning in good form. | |||
|B| (2)  (4/1 -45%)Pens Man |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pens Man 4/1, Built on his reappearance to record his third win from just 6 starts over fences in Southwell handicap over this trip 11 weeks ago. Career-high mark to overcome now but could well be up to the task. | |||
|F| (5)  (11/1 -83%)Abaya Du Mathan |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Abaya Du Mathan 11/1, Scored over fences at Ffos Las in April. More miss than hit since but claims on penultimate Worcester third now back in trip. |

1st (3)  (11/1 -38%)Apple Away |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Apple Away 11/1, £35,000 5-y-o. Arctic Cosmos mare. Dam, point winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 3m) Dr Des. Easily off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Apr 13) and she's an interesting hurdling debutante. | |||
2nd (2)  (3/1 +10%)Peerless Beauty |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peerless Beauty 3/1, Bumped into an unbeaten rival on hurdles debut and took advantage of facing lesser opposition when easily getting off mark at Worcester (20f) in May. Tad disappointing when third under a penalty at Uttoxeter later that month but still rates a key player. | |||
3rd (8)  (8.5/1 +58%)Gamesters Girl |
8.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gamesters Girl 8.5/1, Hinted at ability in 2 course bumpers but plenty more needed now hurdling. Hooded. | |||
4th (6)  (4.5/1 +44%)Liloo D'Ores |
4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Liloo D'Ores 4.5/1, Fair form over hurdles/fences in France. Disappointing first 2 starts on British soil but took a step back in the right direction following a breathing operation and a 6-week break when third in a Uttoxeter maiden (19.9f) 3 weeks ago. Possibilities if building on that. | |||
5th (4)  (2.5/1 +55%)Betty's Belle |
2.5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Betty's Belle 2.5/1, Isn't bred to be much but justified support when making a winning bumper debut at Warwick. Fair efforts all 3 starts since and commands respect on hurdles debut. | |||
6th (5)  (6/1 -20%)Copperfasten |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Copperfasten 6/1, Half-sister to useful hurdler Copper Gone West and bought for £160,00 after winning sole start between the flags. Finished only midfield in a bumper at Uttoxeter on her Rules debut back in March but should do better now hurdling. | |||
7th (1)  (10/1 -186%)Famous Function |
10/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Famous Function 10/1, Fame And Glory mare who made the frame on both her starts in Irish points. Poor in bumpers and brushed aside her sole rival on her Fontwell hurdling debut (21.8f) in May. Had breathing operation since and more needed under a penalty. | |||
8th (7)  (33/1 -83%)Shesasuperstar |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shesasuperstar 33/1, £16,000 5-y-o, Ocovango mare. Half-sister to fair 2½m hurdle winner Mrs Barnes. Dam point winner. Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last 2 starts (latest Apr 24). Market should prove a good guide on Rules debut. |

3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kepy Blanc 3.33/1, Regressive over hurdles but back on track switched to fences when second at Worcester. Claims if building on that. | |||

66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Evron 66/1, Ex-French. Maiden hurdler/chaser. Winning pointer but pulled up last time (Apr 18). | |||
3rd (5)  (10/1 -11%)Augharue |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Augharue 10/1, Once-raced in Irish points. Mid-field in bumpers and modest form over hurdles. Needs to improve for the switch to fences back from a break. | |||
4th (2)  (2.75/1 +31%)Heritier |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Heritier 2.75/1, Bolted up on chase debut at Market Rasen in March but failed to land the odds when only third there 8 days later. Back on track when third at Warwick in May and respected back from a break. | |||
5th (6)  (5.5/1 -100%)Getaman |
5.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Getaman 5.5/1, Opened account at Perth in July and doubled his tally in straightforward style when making all at Kelso (17f) 2 weeks ago. Going the right way and needs considering. | |||
6th (1)  (5.5/1 -10%)Captain Ivan |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Ivan 5.5/1, Fair dual winner at 2m over hurdles. Runner-up on first 2 starts over fences and had excuses since, pulling too hard upped in trip latest. Worth another chance back down in trip/class. | |||
7th (10)  (40/1 +39%)Le Mur |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Le Mur 40/1, Little worthwhile form over hurdles. 13 lb out of the handicap on chase bow. | |||
8th (8)  (16/1 -45%)Gambie Tiep |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gambie Tiep 16/1, French bumper winner but has struggled this season, including on debut for this yard at Stratford latest. | |||
|PU| (7)  (6/1 +25%)Razzo Italiano |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Razzo Italiano 6/1, Ran about as well as could have been expected from stiff opening mark when fourth at Stratford last time. Makes chase debut. | |||
|PU| (4)  (50/1 +24%)Charlie Siringo |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Charlie Siringo 50/1, Lost his way in Ireland and best watched for new yard. |

4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Go Chique 4/1, Bumper winner who doubled tally in handicap hurdles at Hereford (25.5f) in March. Seemingly not herself when tailed off at Haydock the following month but returns to action with yard amongst the winners, so certainly no forlorn hope. | |||
2nd (8)  (14/1 -27%)Oxwich Bay |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Oxwich Bay 14/1, Resumed winning ways over fences at Chepstow (19.5f) in April and filled runners-up spot on 2 of next 3 starts, latterly over hurdles at Ffos Las (20f) in June. Not in same form at Newton Abbot in July but not out of things back from a short break. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.5/1 +9%)Ted's Friend |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ted's Friend 2.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who confirmed promise of his fourth place finish over shorter here when taking a 23f Worcester handicap 16 days ago, always holding on. Remains unexposed at this trip so not discounted up 6 lb. | |||
4th (5)  (16/1 +0%)Iron Heart |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Iron Heart 16/1, Produced just about his best effort to date when second at Worcester (20f) in June, no extra final 100 yds but clear of rest. Not in same form at Perth next time though, and got no further than the first returned to Worcester in July. Up further in trip now. Blinkered. | |||
5th (1)  (1.2/1 +52%)Blakeney Point |
1.2/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blakeney Point 1.2/1, Unpredictable overall but confirmed promise of his second over 19.5f here in July when running out a good winner of a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago, produced to lead after 2 out and driven clear. Claims from 7 lb higher if arriving in same groove. | |||
6th (6)  (50/1 -127%)Chanceanotherfive |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chanceanotherfive 50/1, Landed 3m handicap hurdle from 2 lb higher mark at Perth this time 2 years ago but absent since finishing well held at Kelso (25.7f) later that year. Best watched unless market vibes proved particularly positive. | |||
7th (7)  (18/1 -300%)Madera Mist |
18/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Madera Mist 18/1, 8-y-o mare who is better known as a fair chaser, posting a career-best when successful again in that sphere at Cheltenham (26f) in April. Betting should guide on return to action/back over hurdles. | |||
|PU| (3)  (66/1 -230%)Starsky |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Starsky 66/1, Dual winner over hurdles at up to 26f who ended time with Dan Skelton on a below par note at Worcester (23f) in June. Changed hands for £4,500 thereafter but fell early back over fences here (3m) 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces refitted ahead of hurdles return. |

2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Keep Running 2/1, Had some fair form in France in autumn 2021. Prominent showing likely on stable debut assuming he's ready to roll after 10 months off. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.75/1 +36%)Stroll On By |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Stroll On By 1.75/1, Well-bred 5-y-o who ran to a fair level in bumpers last season, finishing placed 3 times. Ought to be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. | |||
3rd (6)  (25/1 -108%)Iron D'ex |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Iron D'ex 25/1, £60,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point in May. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him on Rules debut. | |||

14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thunder Flash 14/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), winning twice at Leicester this summer. Could easily have a say on hurdle debut. | |||

25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) This Ones For Fred 25/1, Just the one win to his name from 14 starts on the Flat. Well held in 2 hurdle starts in the spring and could only consider if backed on his return to action. | |||

6.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Geordie Ginge 6.5/1, Ran to only a modest level when 6 lengths fourth of 7 in a Market Rasen bumper in July. Connections waste no time switching him to hurdles. | |||

40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bertie's Bandana 40/1, Looked more of a longer-term prospect in a bumper and novice hurdle last season. Likely best watched. | |||
|PU| (10)  (11/1 +56%)Tio Mio |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tio Mio 11/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) for David Loughnane. New stable went to £8,500 to acquire him in August. Hurdle debut. | |||

4.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Methodtothemadness 4.5/1, Opened account over fences at Hexham in June of last year. Unable to add to that success since but figures off a decent mark and has undergone a wind operation since his last start. | |||
2nd (6)  (8/1 -14%)Kauto D'Amour |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kauto D'Amour 8/1, Posted creditable efforts last twice, latest when third of 8 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces now added and should give another good account. | |||
3rd (4)  (6.5/1 +0%)Seemingly So |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Seemingly So 6.5/1, Likely flattered proximity to winner when second of 4 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, good) 32 days ago. Can race off same mark, however, and must enter calculations. Visor back on. | |||
4th (2)  (8.5/1 -42%)Steel Wave |
8.5/1(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Steel Wave 8.5/1, Won 3 times last term and shaped better than distance beaten when second of 4 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good) 25 days ago. Likely contender off same mark here. | |||
5th (3)  (12/1 +0%)Young Wolf |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Young Wolf 12/1, Multiple hurdles/chase winner who can go well fresh but largely disappointed last season and percentage call is to look elsewhere. | |||
|U| (7)  (4/1 +11%)Peter's Portrait |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Peter's Portrait 4/1, Below best form in 4 starts last term and has something to prove on first start for 5 months. Blinkers back on. | |||

14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rhodia 14/1, Promising debut when runner-up in Down Royal bumper almost a year ago. Hasn't matched that in two subsequent outings but shaped as if better for the run on stable debut at Stratford 37 days ago. | |||

8/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sailed Away 8/1, 8,000 gns 3-y-o, Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including 5.5f-8.5f winner Walec. Dam 11.4f winner. Made frame sole start in point bumper (Jan 22). | |||

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.
