2nd (5) (3.5/1 +22%) The Bay Warrior |
3.5/1(+22%) | (5) The Bay Warrior 3.5/1, C&D winner last spring. Respectable 1¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Sammy Sunshine in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago. Could have a big part to play granted a stronger pace to aim at. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 -29%) Mythical Madness |
18/1(-29%) | (2) Mythical Madness 18/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, better placed than most. Each-way shout. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4.5/1(+25%) | (7) Masqool 4.5/1, Winner at Southwell in January. 5/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago, finishing well. Likely to give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

14/1(-27%) | (3) Big Little Lie 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Good third of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (10f, firm). Resumes on a 1 lb lower mark, but nine-month absence to overcome and, in any case, others look stronger. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4/1(-33%) | (1) Sammy Sunshine 4/1, 11/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, driven out. 4 lb rise fair enough and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4/1(+11%) | (6) Baileys Derbyday 4/1, 5/1, last of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm). Boasts some strong early-season form from last year, and this doesn't look like a particularly strong race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
