Bob Olinger
1.5
1.5/1(+0%)
(2) Bob Olinger 1.5/1, Smart novice, making it 2-3 when convincing winner of Grade 1 Lawlor's at Naas (2m4f) by 6½l from Blue Lord. Sure to go well again with more in the pipeline.

(5) Gaillard Du Mesnil 2.25/1, Ex-French gelding who has made rapid progress in his three runs over hurdles, hooded when easily bagging Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m6f) last time. Top prospect with promise of more to come.

Bravemansgame
4
4/1(+0%)
(3) Bravemansgame 4/1, Big improver who completed his hat-trick in fine style in Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (2m4f) by 10l from Star Gate. Top-class prospect and clear pick of the home contingent. Leading claims.

Bear Ghylls
7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(1) Bear Ghylls 7.5/1, Unbeaten in 4 starts, readily defying a BHA mark of 130 in 2m2f Exeter handicap in January to complete his hat-trick over hurdles. Step up in trip in his favour and shouldn't be underestimated.

5th (4) Does He Know (50/1 +24%)
Does He Know
50
50/1(+24%)
(4) Does He Know 50/1, Point winner who completed quick hat-trick in Grade 2 hurdle over C&D in November. Ran out at Newbury next time and well held in hood on handicap bow at Exeter latest. Very hard to make a case for.

Keskonrisk
20
20/1(+0%)
(6) Keskonrisk 20/1, Lost his unbeaten record but took his form up a notch when 12½ lengths third of 9 to Appreciate It in Grade 1 at Leopardstown in December. Open to even more progress, so no forlorn hope.

Optimise Prime
80
80/1(+60%)
(7) Optimise Prime 80/1, Bagged a pair of 2m4f novice hurdles at Hereford before Christmas and better form when third in listed race at Market Rasen 24 days ago. This is a totally different ball game, though.

Monkfish
0.25
0.25/1(+31%)
(4) Monkfish 0.25/1, Albert Bartlett winner who has continued progress over fences this season, winning all 3 starts, notably Grade 1 events at Leopardstown the last twice. Most exciting and will prove very hard to beat.

Fiddlerontheroof
40
40/1(-21%)
(3) Fiddlerontheroof 40/1, Tolworth winner last season and off the mark over fences at Exeter in November. Good runner-up efforts in Grade 2s since, latest over 3m at Warwick, but he needs to take his form up a notch now.

The Big Breakaway
12
12/1(-33%)
(6) The Big Breakaway 12/1, Ballymore Novice Hurdle fourth. Scored on chasing bow over C&D before not seen to best effect in 2 subsequent starts, notably when runner-up in Kauto Star at Kempton. Remains with potential.

4th (1) Dickie Diver (33/1 -32%)
Dickie Diver
33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Dickie Diver 33/1, Winning pointer/useful hurdler who made light of long absence when highly-promising second in Newbury novice handicap (2m6f) on chasing bow. Interesting, but this is tough ask given his inexperience.
5

Sporting John
16
16/1(-33%)
(5) Sporting John 16/1, Really impressed when landing first 3 starts over hurdles last season but disappointed in the Ballymore. Left chase bow well behind when winning Scilly Isles at Sandown. Lacks jumping experience.

10/1(+9%)
(2) Eklat De Rire 10/1, Looked most exciting prospect when jumping well and comfortably making all in Grade 3 novice chase at Naas (3m) by 1¾l from Escaria Ten. Very lightly raced and open to further improvement.

Heaven Help Us
33
33/1(+18%)
(15) Heaven Help Us 33/1, Looked better than ever back in this sphere when landing a valuable mares' handicap in first-time cheekpieces at Leopardstown (2¼m) last month. New mark demands another jolt of progress.
12
2nd (12) Craigneiche (8.5/1 +6%)
Craigneiche
8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(12) Craigneiche 8.5/1, Doncaster maiden hurdle winner last term and big step forward when landing a competitive Ascot handicap (19.3f) in good style on return in January. Up 12 lb, but he remains with serious potential.
10
3rd (10) Tea Clipper (33/1 +34%)
Tea Clipper
33
33/1(+34%)
(10) Tea Clipper 33/1, Improved again when bagging a Grade 3 Chepstow handicap in October. Has come up short in 2 subsequent runs (in a jumpers bumper last time) but unwise to think limit has necessarily been reached.
7
4th (7) Sayo (28/1 +58%)
Sayo
28
28/1(+58%)
(7) Sayo 28/1, Resumed winning ways at Kilbeggan last summer, but hasn't posed a threat in completed starts subsequently and finished out with the washing off a similar mark in this race 12 months ago.
4
5th (4) Janika (33/1 -18%)
Janika
33
33/1(-18%)
(4) Janika 33/1, Grade 2 winner over fences last term and wasn't disgraced on British hurdles debut here in January 2020. However, he was disappointing in Ascot race won by stablemate Craigneiche on belated return.
6
6th (6) Birchdale (12/1 +25%)
Birchdale
12
12/1(+25%)
(6) Birchdale 12/1, Very promising earlier in his career and shaped quite well when eighth in this race off a 2 lb higher mark last year. Chasing didn't really go to plan but he's certainly in the right hands.
23
7th (23) Guard Your Dreams (7/1 +30%)
Guard Your Dreams
7
7/1(+30%)
(23) Guard Your Dreams 7/1, Progressive type who made a winning handicap debut at Sandown in January. Further progress when sixth of 23 in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (16.3f) since and this step up in trip looks a good move.
25
8th (25) Dans Le Vent (28/1 +72%)
Dans Le Vent
28
28/1(+72%)
(25) Dans Le Vent 28/1, Better than ever when narrowly landing 7-runner handicap back hurdling following 13 months off at Hereford (19.5f) in December. Brace of fourth-place finishes since confirm he's in good nick.
19
9th (19) Palmers Hill (33/1 +0%)
Palmers Hill
33
33/1(+0%)
(19) Palmers Hill 33/1, Winner of a big-field C&D handicap hurdle in November 2018. Cracking effort at Kempton on sole start last term, but below par in a 2 runs so far this season and he clearly comes with risks attached.
16
|F| (16) Blue Sari (14/1 -40%)
Blue Sari
14
14/1(-40%)
(16) Blue Sari 14/1, Looked good early in career, runner-up in the 2019 Champion Bumper. Lightly raced since, running no sort of race on reappearance/handicap debut last month so top connections reach for a tongue tie.
11
10th (11) Burbank (125/1 +0%)
Burbank
125
125/1(+0%)
(11) Burbank 125/1, Unsuccessful at the last 4 Festivals, but wasn't disgraced when seventh off 3 lb higher in this race in 2018. In good form in jumpers bumpers for new yard this season but this is a different ask.
5
11th (5) Monte Cristo (14/1 -27%)
Monte Cristo
14
14/1(-27%)
(5) Monte Cristo 14/1, French recruit who left low-key reappearance well behind when landing a competitive Kempton handicap (21f) in good style on Boxing Day. Up 12 lb for that, but this 5-y-o likely has more to offer.
2
12th (2) Grand Roi (6/1 +14%)
Grand Roi
6
6/1(+14%)
(2) Grand Roi 6/1, Limerick Grade 2 winner in good style on penultimate start in December. Brushed aside by Bachasson at Naas (15.7f) since but he advanced his form in the process. Handicap debut up in trip.
14
13th (14) Garo De Juilley (66/1 +18%)
Garo De Juilley
66
66/1(+18%)
(14) Garo De Juilley 66/1, Hasn't won on these shores since October 2018, but has hit the target twice in France this season, including a listed contest over 20.4f at Pau last month. Doesn't possess the scope of a few of these.
1
14th (1) Thomas Darby (14/1 -17%)
Thomas Darby
14
14/1(-17%)
(1) Thomas Darby 14/1, Runner-up in Supreme Novices' Hurdle in 2019. Landed a strong Ascot handicap last term and latest effort in Grade 2 company was solid, but present mark may prove beyond his reach. Cheekpieces on.
8
15th (8) Saint Sonnet (33/1 +18%)
Saint Sonnet
33
33/1(+18%)
(8) Saint Sonnet 33/1, Ex-French recruit who made a promising start for this yard over fences last season. Has failed to complete all 3 starts this time round but he is in top hands on this return to timber.
3
16th (3) Koshari (12/1 -33%)
Koshari
12
12/1(-33%)
(3) Koshari 12/1, Looked as good as ever when landing a Cork handicap hurdle on return from a lengthy absence in January. Wasn't seen to best effect at Leopardstown since and this low-mileage 9-y-o needs considering.
24
17th (24) Nelson River (80/1 +36%)
Nelson River
80
80/1(+36%)
(24) Nelson River 80/1, Excelled himself when fourth in the 2019 Triumph. AW winner in January prior to a brace of heavy defeats and he may lack the class and/or stamina back hurdling in a race of this nature.
20
18th (20) Shakem Up'arry (28/1 +0%)
Shakem Up'arry
28
28/1(+0%)
(20) Shakem Up'arry 28/1, Scored at Ffos Las in November and has continued in good form, 12l eighth to Soaring Glory in Betfair Hurdle at Newbury last time and now back up in trip.
22
19th (22) Shang Tang (50/1 +0%)
Shang Tang
50
50/1(+0%)
(22) Shang Tang 50/1, Shaped well until stamina gave way in the River Don (24.4f) and resumed winning ways in clear-cut fashion at Fakenham last month. Revised mark calls for more back in a handicap.
17
20th (17) Dysart Diamond (28/1 -12%)
Dysart Diamond
28
28/1(-12%)
(17) Dysart Diamond 28/1, Fitted with a tongue tie and advanced her form when making a winning handicap debut over 2m at Leopardstown in December. Easy to excuse last month's run (hampered) and she has more to offer.
26
21st (26) Witness Protection (33/1 -18%)
Witness Protection
33
33/1(-18%)
(26) Witness Protection 33/1, Promise in bumpers and successful twice in novice company this season, latterly strong at the finish at Chepstow in January. More to come in handicaps and return to this sort of trip should suit.
13
22nd (13) Boreham Bill (50/1 +0%)
Boreham Bill
50
50/1(+0%)
(13) Boreham Bill 50/1, Right back to form returned to this sphere at Kempton the last twice, placed in 21f handicap in November prior to landing the Lanzarote. Merits respect despite 7 lb rise.
18
23rd (18) Sneaky Getaway (20/1 -11%)
Sneaky Getaway
20
20/1(-11%)
(18) Sneaky Getaway 20/1, Useful on the Flat (ran on AW latest) and bright start to hurdles career last year, scoring at Roscommon and Fairyhouse. However, well held last 2 starts in this sphere and cheekpieces now employed.
9
|PU| (9) Botox Has (8.5/1 +47%)
Botox Has
8.5
8.5/1(+47%)
(9) Botox Has 8.5/1, Has failed to make a real impact since switched to handicaps, beaten 16½ lengths when sixth to Craigneiche at Ascot last time. However, he's 2-3 here and this stiffer test could be what he needs.
21
|PU| (21) Our Power (40/1 +50%)
Our Power
40
40/1(+50%)
(21) Our Power 40/1, Landed big-field handicap at Kempton last spring and creditable efforts on first 3 starts of this season, including over C&D in October. Bombed out last time, but he's pretty reliable on the whole.

10

(10) Put The Kettle On 8.5/1, Arkle winner. Returned with third C&D victory in Shloer Chase and good third to Chacun Pour Soi in Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas. Likeable front-runner who goes well here.
6
2nd (6) Nube Negra (11/1 -10%)
Nube Negra
11
11/1(-10%)
(6) Nube Negra 11/1, Announced himself a high-class chaser when 20/1-winner of Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton in December by 3½ lengths from below-par Altior. Another chunk of improvement needed to follow up here, though.
1
3rd (1) Chacun Pour Soi (0.62/1 +25%)
Chacun Pour Soi
0.62
0.62/1(+25%)
(1) Chacun Pour Soi 0.62/1, Top-class chaser who made it 3-3 this term with impressive display in Dublin Chase (2/5) at Leopardstown last month. Late defector in last year's Champion Chase and set to make amends now.
4

Greaneteen
50
50/1(+24%)
(4) Greaneteen 50/1, Stylish winner of Exeter's Haldon Gold Cup and has raised his game further when placed in Tingle Creek and Game Spirit. Strong pace will suit this keen-going sort. Lively outsider.
9
5th (9) Sceau Royal (16/1 +0%)
Sceau Royal
16
16/1(+0%)
(9) Sceau Royal 16/1, Very smart hurdler/chaser who arrives on the back of Game Spirit win at Newbury by 2l from Champ. Has come up short in the last 2 runnings of this, though, and it'll likely be the same again.
3
6th (3) First Flow (11/1 +39%)
First Flow
11
11/1(+39%)
(3) First Flow 11/1, Has progressed into a top-class chaser, given attacking ride when making it 6 wins in a row with ready 7l success over Politologue in Clarence House at Ascot. This demands more but still respected.
5
7th (5) Notebook (22/1 +45%)
Notebook
22
22/1(+45%)
(5) Notebook 22/1, Top-class chaser. Wide-margin winner at Naas and good placed efforts, though no match for Chacun Pour Soi, in Grade 1s at Leopardstown both runs since. Bold-jumping front-runner. Should be in the mix.
2
8th (2) Cilaos Emery (12/1 +14%)
Cilaos Emery
12
12/1(+14%)
(2) Cilaos Emery 12/1, Top-class chaser who got right back on track when easily making all in Grade 3 at Naas last month. Has something to find with his stablemate Chacun Pour Soi but he's no forlorn hope.

Rouge Vif
20
20/1(+20%)
(8) Rouge Vif 20/1, Smart chaser who readily landed handicap over C&D in October. Good third in the Tingle Creek after but well held behind Nube Negra in Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton. This is a very tough ask.

Tiger Roll
4.5

(13) Tiger Roll 4.5/1, Winner of this race prior to Grand National victories in 2018 and 2019. However, left trailing by Easysland in last year's renewal of this contest and well below his best in 3 starts this season.

Easysland

50

Hogan's Height
25
25/1(+11%)
(6) Hogan's Height 25/1, Made it 4-9 over fences when landing the Grand Sefton (21f) at Aintree last season. Seen out just twice since (over hurdles, well held on each occasion) and improvement needed on cross-country debut.
7
|F| (7) Kings Temptation (66/1 +34%)
Kings Temptation
66
66/1(+34%)
(7) Kings Temptation 66/1, Returned in the form of his life over fences last year, rattling off Uttoxeter hat-trick at up to 3¼m. However, he failed to make an impact on first run over this C&D in November. Stiff task.
3

Balko Des Flos
6
6/1(+63%)
(3) Balko Des Flos 6/1, High-class chaser at best, but largely below par since landing the Ryanair at the 2018 Festival. Still, he would be a serious player if the switch to this idiosyncratic course sparks a revival.
9
|PU| (9) Le Breuil (9/1 +36%)
Le Breuil
9

(9) Le Breuil 9/1, Smart staying chaser who landed NH Chase at this meeting in 2019. Expensive to follow since and was rather disappointing at Musselburgh last time, but he's another with an each-way chance.
4

Defi Des Carres
28

Sky Pirate
14
14/1(-17%)
(5) Sky Pirate 14/1, Well suited by the drop to 2m when winning handicap chases at Cheltenham (beat Ibleo) and Warwick. Excuses in Grade 2 at latter track since and this scenario should play more to his strengths.

Entoucas

On The Slopes
16
16/1(+20%)
(14) On The Slopes 16/1, Did well over fences last season, third in red-hot 20f Timeform novice handicap before winning twice at Kempton. Shaped well here on return but disappointed both starts since (jumpers bumper latest).
16
5th (16) Not That Fuisse (11/1 +42%)
Not That Fuisse

(16) Not That Fuisse 11/1, Useful chaser who won a jumpers bumper at Newcastle 6 weeks ago. Career best required but strongly-run 2m should be ideal (strong traveller).
19
6th (19) Capuccimix (40/1 +39%)
Capuccimix
40
40/1(+39%)
(19) Capuccimix 40/1, Below par this season but latest seventh of 20 in handicap chase at Leopardstown 39 days ago was a step back in the right direction. Needs to improve off this mark but remains low mileage.

Duc Des Genievres
22
22/1(+33%)
(1) Duc Des Genievres 22/1, Arkle winner in 2019 for Willie Mullins. Just about best run since when second in C&D Grade 2 on reappearance/yard debut but not in same form next 2 starts. Handicap debut.

Amoola Gold
25
25/1(-39%)
(10) Amoola Gold 25/1, Having an excellent season, making winning return at Wetherby before defying 5 lb rise at Ascot. Even better form when runner-up both starts since, 2¼ lengths behind Sky Pirate at Warwick last time.

Ashutor
28
28/1(+15%)
(15) Ashutor 28/1, Taken well to fences this season, landing the odds in a couple of handicaps in the summer. Progress has rather stalled since, however, placed at Fontwell 6 months apart. Yard has won this 4 times.

Embittered
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(11) Embittered 4.5/1, Ran a cracker when third in County Hurdle last season and seems at least as good over fences despite not winning from 4 attempts, out of his depth in Grade 1s last twice. Much better expected here.

10th (3) Chosen Mate (7/1 +13%)
Chosen Mate
7
7/1(+13%)
(3) Chosen Mate 7/1, Landed a gamble when impressive winner of this (on the other course) last season off 9 lb lower. Winner on the Flat in the summer but down the field back over jumps since. Much better expected now.

Us And Them
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Us And Them 14/1, Has been largely disappointing since his novice campaign (runner-up in the Arkle) but there's no doubt he's potentially on a good mark having finished third in this last season off 1 lb higher.
9
12th (9) Glen Forsa (33/1 -18%)
Glen Forsa
33
33/1(-18%)
(9) Glen Forsa 33/1, Very smart novice in 2018/19. Lightly raced since and mostly disappointing, though latest fourth at Wincanton was at least a step back in the right direction. Has had a wind op since.
6
13th (6) Bun Doran (33/1 +0%)
Bun Doran
33
33/1(+0%)
(6) Bun Doran 33/1, Kempton Grade 2 winner last winter. Also third in Champion Chase later that season. Below par all 3 starts this term but is potentially well handicapped. Runner-up in this 2 years ago.
17
14th (17) Western Miller (125/1 -150%)
Western Miller
125
125/1(-150%)
(17) Western Miller 125/1, Useful chaser on his day, as shown when runner-up over C&D off 2 lb higher in December. Below form since but consistency has always been an issue.
20
15th (20) Or Jaune De Somoza (25/1 +24%)
Or Jaune De Somoza
25
25/1(+24%)
(20) Or Jaune De Somoza 25/1, Useful handicap chaser for Henry de Bromhead and similar form for this stable but hasn't shown enough to suggest he can win a race as competitive as this.
12
|PU| (12) Zanza (8/1 -14%)
Zanza
8
8/1(-14%)
(12) Zanza 8/1, Useful hurdler and no surprise to see him do better over fences given physique, off the mark at Newbury in November. Yet to be asked for effort when falling 3 out here since, so claims off same mark.
8
|PU| (8) Moonlighter (16/1 +20%)
Moonlighter
16
16/1(+20%)
(8) Moonlighter 16/1, Won at Newbury last term and took another step forward when runner-up in Haldon Gold Cup on return. Resumed progress with gutsy win at Sandown under this rider and should give another good account.

|PU| (2) Sizing Pottsie (28/1 +0%)
Sizing Pottsie
28
28/1(+0%)
(2) Sizing Pottsie 28/1, Out of his depth in a Grade 1 last time but was impressive when winning his sole start in a handicap at Fairyhouse in December, beating Entoucas by 6 lengths. Trainer knows how to win this race.

(6) Kilcruit 0.91/1, Looks out of the top drawer, sauntering to victory for new yard at Navan and Leopardstown (Grade 2, impressively beat Letsbeclearaboutit by 12 lengths). Yard dominate this and he's the one to beat.

(13) Grangee 18/1, Took another step forward when resuming winning ways in Grade 2 mares' event at Leopardstown last month. 1 of 5 for yard with best record in the race but they have a couple of far stronger candidates.

(11) Wonderwall 50/1, Landed gamble at Ascot on debut in November and ran well in listed contest back there following month, again having quite a hard race. Plenty more needed to make an impact, but not totally discounted.

(7) Ramillies 14/1, Successful return after a year off in Leopardstown bumper over Christmas and shaped well behind stablemate Kilcruit in Grade 2 there subsequently, emptying late on. Can do better still.

(14) I Like To Move It 40/1, Clear-cut winner of Aintree/Wincanton bumpers first 2 starts and ran a fine race in second in listed Newbury contest last month. More needed again but that isn't out of the question.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
