1st (1)  (0.53/1 +56%)Park This One |
0.53/1(+56%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Park This One 0.53/1, Point winner who confirmed debut promise when off the mark in bumper at Exeter in April and made a successful debut over hurdles when making all at Uttoxeter in October. Better form when fourth in Sandown Grade 2 since. The one to beat with sights lowered. | |||
2nd (6)  (6.5/1 -189%)Happywifehappylife |
6.5/1(-189%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Happywifehappylife 6.5/1, Runner-up twice on the Flat last autumn and recorded her best effort over hurdles when second in a 17f Sedgefield novice in November. Tongue tie refitted. Open to further improvement. | |||
3rd (5)  (9/1 -20%)Swallows Song |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Swallows Song 9/1, Kayf Tara gelding who made a winning start to his career in a Sedgefield bumper in November. This longer trip is bred to suit now hurdling. | |||
4th (3)  (28/1 +58%)Parelliroc |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Parelliroc 28/1, Didn't offer much in 2 bumpers last season so doesn't strike as an obvious type to make a winning start over hurdles. Has had wind surgery. | |||
5th (7)  (4.5/1 +10%)Lady Mendoza |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lady Mendoza 4.5/1, Won completed start in Irish points during the spring and positive start under Rules when second in 2½m Newcastle novice (soft) in November. May do better. | |||
6th (4)  (125/1 -25%)Rebel Mc |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rebel Mc 125/1, No impact in pair of 2m Bangor novice hurdles so he's impossible to fancy. | |||
7th (2)  (80/1 -60%)Court Justice |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Court Justice 80/1, Maiden Irish pointer, unplaced last time (May 28). Likely he's best watched on hurdle debut. |

(6)  (8/1 +0%)Oliver's Island |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Oliver's Island 8/1, C&D winner who arrives in form, close second at Lingfield then shading a tight finish at Market Rasen (23f) 30 days ago. Solid claims. Engaged 1.08 Uttoxeter Saturday. | |||
1st (4)  (3.5/1 -5%)Just Jess |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Jess 3.5/1, Up and down since landing a 2m Hexham novice last December but latest 3m Newcastle third was a big step back in the right direction and she's a major player here if able to back that up. | |||
2nd (11)  (3.5/1 +50%)My Strong Man |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) My Strong Man 3.5/1, Confirmed he retains ability on the back of a 19-month absence when third at Ayr in October but only a respectable sixth over 3m at Musselburgh since. | |||
3rd (2)  (28/1 -40%)Tartan Cookie |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tartan Cookie 28/1, Responded well to first-time blinkers when landing a 3m Newcastle novice in February but largely below par since and failed to make an impact following a wind op/break at Kelso in November. | |||
4th (9)  (12/1 +40%)Punta Prima |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Punta Prima 12/1, In good hands but has yet to better poor form and he's made no impact on both handicap starts. First-time blinkers need to make a difference. | |||
5th (3)  (14/1 -40%)Ribeye |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ribeye 14/1, Improved when stepped up to 3m last season, winning at Newcastle in April. Off 7 months, probably needed the run when well held there in November. Claims if back to his best. | |||
6th (5)  (11/1 +8%)Kilganer Queen |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kilganer Queen 11/1, Multiple winner in Ireland and scored for this yard at Sedgefield in April 2021. Below form over hurdles this season but her mark has come down as a result and latest chase second was a bit better. One of the more likely types. | |||
7th (10)  (10/1 +50%)Sir Jim |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sir Jim 10/1, Hasn't shown much in half-a-dozen appearances over hurdles and, unless the addition of cheekpieces spark sudden improvement, he will probably come up short once again. | |||
8th (13)  (18/1 +10%)Howzat Hiris |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Howzat Hiris 18/1, Produced best effort so far when third in 3m Wetherby handicap at the end of March. However, she hasn't come close to matching that form in 3 subsequent starts. | |||
9th (12)  (8/1 +11%)Kildrum |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Kildrum 8/1, Made all in 3m Hexham handicap chase in May and ran well again at that venue when third on return in November. Should be bang there if he can reproduce that form back over hurdles. | |||
|PU| (7)  (7/1 +79%)Monticello |
7/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Monticello 7/1, Dual Flat winner who ran well when placed in handicaps at Carlisle/Hexham on first 2 starts of present campaign. However, not so good last twice so a bounce back is needed. | |||
|PU| (8)  (7.5/1 -36%)Storm Force One |
7.5/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Storm Force One 7.5/1, Several decent bits and pieces of form to her name, including when second in a 5-runner handicap over 23f at Market Rasen in November. However, it's hard to ignore the fact that she's 0-19 overall. | |||
|PU| (1)  (80/1 -100%)Sight Nor Seen |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sight Nor Seen 80/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland at his best but has struggled this season, including on C&D stable debut in November. |

1st (2)  (0.62/1 +15%)Git Maker |
0.62/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Git Maker 0.62/1, Point winner who was three from four over hurdles and solid start over fences, rallying when again finding only one too good at Kelso (23.4f) 4 weeks ago. Expected to be firmly in the mix once more. | |||
2nd (3)  (8/1 +0%)Tupelo Mississippi |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tupelo Mississippi 8/1, Dual bumper/maiden hurdle winner who showed promise on chase debut last winter. Not at that level either outing thereafter but not one to write off back from a break, despite operating from out of the weights. | |||
3rd (1)  (2/1 +0%)Bardenstown Lad |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bardenstown Lad 2/1, Useful hurdler last season winning 4 times prior to an excellent third in the Albert Bartlett at the Festival in March. Has yet to reach same level in 2 starts over fences this term but he now gets a crack at handicaps. | |||
4th (5)  (28/1 +30%)Thunderosa |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thunderosa 28/1, Just the one standout effort over fences so far and, having finished down the field between the flags, offered little at Kelso (26f) 3 days ago, well held early final circuit. Blinkers reached for now. |

1st (2)  (1.38/1 +31%)Matchless |
1.38/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Matchless 1.38/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who scored on hurdles bow at Newcastle (16.2f) in November prior to a sound second under a penalty at Doncaster. Too free sent handicapping at latter-named venue since but he remains one to be positive about. | |||
2nd (1)  (3.33/1 -67%)Legendary Day |
3.33/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Legendary Day 3.33/1, Dual Flat winner for Hughie Morrison and perfect start over hurdles for new yard in a first-time tongue strap (retained here) at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) where he landed an 11-runner novice with a bit to spare. Player with prospect of more to come. | |||
3rd (4)  (2/1 +27%)Whitehaven |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Whitehaven 2/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Hughie Morrison (stays 16.5f). Creditable second at Haydock (2m) when last seen in October and he's well worth a look now hurdling having changed hands for 35,000 gns subsequently. | |||
4th (3)  (33/1 +34%)Prospect House |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Prospect House 33/1, Offered little in bumper/maiden hurdle in Ireland last summer and similarly made little impact in points more recently. Starts out for new yard now. | |||
5th (6)  (50/1 -52%)Red Command |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Red Command 50/1, Poor maiden on Flat and he hasn't offered a great deal on 2 of his 3 starts in this sphere. Passed over. | |||
6th (5)  (10/1 +17%)Fiftyshadesaresdev |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fiftyshadesaresdev 10/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who ran to a modest level when a fading fourth in a C&D juvenile 44 days ago. Possible he will have stamina limitations in this sphere. |

1st (2)  (7.5/1 -88%)Skyhill |
7.5/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Skyhill 7.5/1, Campaigned largely over fences in recent years and back in form lately, scoring at Sedgefield a month ago. Merits consideration. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.25/1 +29%)Tom Creen |
1.25/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tom Creen 1.25/1, Landed a point in May and returned to Rules with a polished display to see off a thriving rival at Sedgefield last time. Probably still well treated and should take the beating once more. | |||
3rd (8)  (6.5/1 +46%)Catlin |
6.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Catlin 6.5/1, Back to form when scoring at Newcastle in November but she tends to save her best for that track and she failed to back it up at Southwell 3 weeks ago. | |||
4th (3)  (12/1 -100%)Maid Of Houxty |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Maid Of Houxty 12/1, Largely disappointed over hurdles last term and held back by her jumping sent chasing on return at Ayr. However, she was more slick in that department when runner-up at Kelso (26.2f, soft) last time and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture. | |||
5th (5)  (33/1 -32%)Alone No More |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alone No More 33/1, Rules form is pretty uninspiring and he was last of 5 in a point when last seen in May. Worth a market check starting out for a new yard, though. | |||
6th (1)  (10/1 -54%)Faitque De L'Isle |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Faitque De L'Isle 10/1, Fair form over fences in France in 2020 and got off the mark for current yard at Ffos Las (23.8f) in October. Bit disappointing since, though. | |||
7th (6)  (6.5/1 +54%)Absolutely Dylan |
6.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Absolutely Dylan 6.5/1, On a long losing run and produced a laboured effort after 15 months off at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) 46 days ago. Tumbles further in the weights and this step back up in trip should at least be in his favour. | |||
|PU| (7)  (11/1 +31%)The Very Thing |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Very Thing 11/1, C&D winner around this time last year and showed a bit more encouragement over an inadequate trip here last time. Claims if he can build on that. | |||
|PU| (9)  (16/1 +60%)Amber Run |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Amber Run 16/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser and recent efforts suggest he's unlikely to land a first career success here from out of the weights. Wind op/visor back on. |

28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Edgar Allan Poe 28/1, Seven-time winner on the Flat and fair form in a couple of maiden hurdles last season. Well held in 2 runs this time around however, including in handicap at Wetherby on Boxing Day. | |||
2nd (4)  (4/1 +43%)Miltiades |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miltiades 4/1, Had a wind op before posting a respectable fourth in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (2m) 10 months ago. Stable is enjoying a good season and he's unexposed enough to think he may have more to offer. | |||
3rd (6)  (4.5/1 +10%)Bashful |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bashful 4.5/1, In good form, following up his Uttoxeter success with a good effort in a slowly-run 17f Sedgefield handicap 40 days ago. This is tougher. | |||
4th (11)  (33/1 -136%)Belle Na Bann |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Belle Na Bann 33/1, Took handicaps at Fontwell (17.7f) and Newton Abbot (16.8f) this summer but good run of form came to a halt at Worcester when last seen 3 months ago and she starts out for a new yard here. | |||
5th (8)  (4.5/1 +63%)Coup De Gold |
4.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Coup De Gold 4.5/1, On a long losing run and well held again at Newcastle last time, the very steady early gallop not a help for a free-goer like him. First go over the minimum trip for a while and interesting if he's allowed to stride on. | |||
6th (12)  (22/1 -100%)Temper Trap |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Temper Trap 22/1, Had a good summer on the Flat but failed to complete making handicap debut back over hurdles at Sedgefield 8 weeks ago. | |||
7th (3)  (3.33/1 +33%)Cartonne |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cartonne 3.33/1, Ex-pointer who has finished runner-up 4 times over hurdles. Off 6 months, below-form fourth in 19f novice here 6 weeks ago but this drop back to 2m could suit this free-goer now handicapping. One to consider in first-time tongue tie. | |||
8th (13)  (22/1 -57%)Zara's Universe |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Zara's Universe 22/1, Long-standing maiden who has several decent-enough bits and pieces of form to her name but suspect she'll do well to open her account in this. | |||
9th (1)  (5.5/1 -83%)Heritier |
5.5/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Heritier 5.5/1, Winner of handicap chases at Kelso and Market Rasen in recent months. Likely to make a bold bid for the hat-trick back hurdling. | |||
|F| (9)  (22/1 -38%)Ilaya |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ilaya 22/1, Last win came from 23 lb higher but there's been little to shout about for a while and her record fresh isn't great. | |||
10th (10)  (18/1 +10%)Nechako |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Nechako 18/1, Some promise at Cartmel this summer but well beaten in 2 handicaps. Cheekpieces go on back down in trip. | |||
|PU| (5)  (25/1 +24%)Belvedere Blast |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Belvedere Blast 25/1, Won Hexham maiden in the summer but sketchy jumping means he comes with risks attached and he's been well beaten the last twice. | |||
|PU| (14)  (40/1 -43%)Snowed In |
40/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Snowed In 40/1, Won this in 2017 and 2018 but wasn't the same force when last seen in the spring. |

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.
