10
1st (10) Marine Nationale (4.5/1 +10%)
Marine Nationale

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(10) Marine Nationale 4.5/1, Highly promising sort who landed a brace of bumpers in stylish fashion and maintained his unbeaten record with a smart performance on just his second hurdling start in Royal Bond at Fairyhouse (2m) last time, doing especially well having conceded first run. Exciting prospect.
5
2nd (5) Facile Vega (2.25/1 +0%)
Facile Vega

2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(5) Facile Vega 2.25/1, Won all 4 starts in bumpers last season, including Champion Bumper, and looked just as special over hurdles when ready winner of Future Champions Novices' Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Lost his unbeaten record in tame fashion back there last time but can prove that running all wrong.
3
3rd (3) Diverge (25/1 -39%)
Diverge

25
25/1(-39%)
(3) Diverge 25/1, Fairly useful performer on the level in France who left his hurdling debut form well behind when running out an emphatic winner of a 22-runner Punchestown maiden (2m, heavy) 43 days ago. This will be whole different ball game, but he's clearly promising and open to further progress. Tongue strap on.
9
4th (9) Inthepocket (9/1 +0%)
Inthepocket

9
9/1(+0%)
(9) Inthepocket 9/1, Cost £290,000 after winning his sole point and impressive when landing 2m Wexford maiden hurdle in October. Maintained unbeaten record stepped up in trip/grade at Navan (2½m) and far from disgraced behind Il Etait Temps in Grade 1 at Leopardstown (2m) last time. Not without each-way hope.
8
5th (8) Il Etait Temps (4/1 +11%)
Il Etait Temps

4
4/1(+11%)
(8) Il Etait Temps 4/1, Much improved since fitted with a hood, building on his Tramore maiden win returned to Grade 1 company when second to Facile Vega at Leopardstown over Christmas. Capitalised on that rival underperforming when resuming winning ways there in February, but did it well and can't be taken lightly.
2
6th (2) Dark Raven (11/1 +67%)
Dark Raven

11
11/1(+67%)
(2) Dark Raven 11/1, Won both starts in bumpers in 2020/21 and belied a lengthy absence in the manner of a potentially smart novice on his Leopardstown hurdling debut (2m). Far from disgraced when third in Grade 1 won by Il Etait Temps there since, and he's likely to progress further if brushing up on his jumping.
7
7th (7) High Definition (18/1 +0%)
High Definition

18
18/1(+0%)
(7) High Definition 18/1, Very smart up to 1½m on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and overcame some novicey mistakes to hold off a listed bumper winner and one with a big reputation on his Leopardstown hurdling debut on Boxing Day. Upped in grade and let down by his jumping there last month but remains capable of better.
4
8th (4) Doctor Bravo (25/1 -14%)
Doctor Bravo

25
25/1(-14%)
(4) Doctor Bravo 25/1, Quickened up well to win his sole bumper and impressed with his attitude when making his second hurdle start a winning one at Down Royal (17f) in January. Far from disgraced for one so inexperienced in Grade 3 at Gowran (2m) subsequently and open to further improvement.
13
9th (13) Strong Leader (28/1 +30%)
Strong Leader

28
28/1(+30%)
(13) Strong Leader 28/1, Looked highly promising in bumpers and impressively made it 3-3 in this sphere in a 2m Southwell novice 44 days ago, quickening clear under hands and heels from home turn. Has more on his plate in this higher grade, but he's created a fine impression so far and shouldn't be overlooked.
14
10th (14) Tahmuras (11/1 +0%)
Tahmuras

11
11/1(+0%)
(14) Tahmuras 11/1, Successful pointer who hasn't looked back since finding only one too good on his Rules bow, winning a Wincanton bumper and all 3 hurdle starts to date, including the Grade 1 Tolworth last time, despite still showing signs of inexperience. That form is proving strong, and he's open to more progress.
6
11th (6) Fennor Cross (80/1 -21%)
Fennor Cross

80
80/1(-21%)
(6) Fennor Cross 80/1, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat who built on the promise of his hurdling debut when landing a C&D maiden in October. Progressed again when following up in Grade 2 back here 3 weeks later but this demands plenty more.
1
12th (1) Chasing Fire (40/1 -60%)
Chasing Fire

40
40/1(-60%)
(1) Chasing Fire 40/1, £170,000 buy after point win who looked a potential star when landing his sole bumper last term and has done nothing to alter that view since sent hurdling, making it 3 from 3 in 6-runner event at Sandown (2m) 38 days ago, leading 2 out and soon in command. Well worth his place at this level.
11
13th (11) Palace Boy (200/1 +20%)
Palace Boy

200
200/1(+20%)
(11) Palace Boy 200/1, Flat winner in Germany and made a successful start in this sphere following a lengthy absence in a 2m Chepstow novice in October. Built on that at the second attempt when 11 lengths second of 6 to the highly promising Luccia (favourite for Dawn Run) at Exeter but has his work cut out at this level.
12
|PU| (12) Rare Edition (33/1 -18%)
Rare Edition

33
33/1(-18%)
(12) Rare Edition 33/1, Successful on his only outing in bumpers and again looked a good prospect in winning his first 3 starts over hurdles, particularly when seeing off a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Kempton (2m) on Boxing Day. Disappointed stepped up in grade at Huntingdon since but was said to have scoped dirty.

3
1st (3) El Fabiolo (1.1/1 +12%)
El Fabiolo

1.1
1.1/1(+12%)
(3) El Fabiolo 1.1/1, Smart novice hurdler last term (second to Jonbon in Aintree Grade 1) and very impressive winner of both chase starts this time round, particularly when forging 10 lengths clear of Banbridge in Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival last month. Leading claims for yard seeking a fifth win since 2015.
6
2nd (6) Jonbon (2/1 -14%)
Jonbon

2
2/1(-14%)
(6) Jonbon 2/1, His only defeat under Rules came when bumping into Constitution Hill in last season's Supreme. 3-3 over fences this term and though he made a bit of a meal of beating his sole rival in Grade 2 Kingmaker at Warwick last month that one did go and win a decent handicap next time. Bold show likely.
7
3rd (7) Saint Roi (11/1 -47%)
Saint Roi

11
11/1(-47%)
(7) Saint Roi 11/1, Very smart hurdler who showed he's as good over fences with a Grade 1 success at Leopardstown over Christmas. Unseated halfway in the Irish Arkle there since. The form of that Leopardstown win has taken a couple of knocks but he remains capable of better.
8
4th (8) Straw Fan Jack (50/1 +50%)
Straw Fan Jack

50
50/1(+50%)
(8) Straw Fan Jack 50/1, Built for chasing and left his hurdle form behind when winning novices at Ffos Las (handicap) and over C&D in October. Lost his unbeaten record over fences in a Newbury handicap in November but he still ran well attempting to concede weight all round. Freshened up since, but plenty to find.
4
5th (4) Ha D'or (66/1 +34%)
Ha D'or

66
66/1(+34%)
(4) Ha D'or 66/1, Made a sucsessful start to his chase career at Fairyhouse just before Christmas but his limitations have seemingly been exposed at Graded level since. His stable has some much more obvious contenders.
9
6th (9) Effernock Fizz (125/1 +17%)
Effernock Fizz

125
125/1(+17%)
(9) Effernock Fizz 125/1, Very useful mare. Won Welsh Champion Hurdle (Handicap) at Ffos Las in October and second in a C&D handicap chase a fortnight later. Gained an overdue first chase success in a 3-runner mares' novice at Ludlow last month but this is a whole different ball game.
1
7th (1) Ballybreeze (150/1 +25%)
Ballybreeze

150
150/1(+25%)
(1) Ballybreeze 150/1, Looked a nice prospect when making a successful start over fences in a 2m Chepstow novice handicap in October but he's very much pitched in at the deep end on his first outing since.
2
|F| (2) Dysart Dynamo (5/1 +29%)
Dysart Dynamo

5
5/1(+29%)
(2) Dysart Dynamo 5/1, Enthusiastic front-runner who made an impressive winning start to his chase career at Leopardstown over Christmas. Did too much too soon when 10½ lengths fourth to El Fabiolo in Irish Arkle there since and it remains to be seen whether he has anything left for the hill here.
5
|PU| (5) Hollow Games (28/1 +15%)
Hollow Games

28
28/1(+15%)
(5) Hollow Games 28/1, Matched his very useful hurdle form when making a winning start over fences at Navan in November. Bit disappointing iwhen a well-held fourth of 5 to Saint Roi in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas but he's better than that. Has had wind surgery prior to this.

10
1st (10) Corach Rambler (6/1 +0%)
Corach Rambler

6
6/1(+0%)
(10) Corach Rambler 6/1, Developed into a smart chaser last season, rounding off the campaign with an impressive win in this race off 6 lb lower. Made a satisfactory reappearance over a trip short of his best at Carlisle and duly stepped up on that when fourth in Coral Cup at Newbury. Another bold bid expected.
6
2nd (6) Fastorslow (7/1 +22%)
Fastorslow

7
7/1(+22%)
(6) Fastorslow 7/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in France who came very close to winning the Coral Cup (off 9 lb lower) for this yard at this meeting a year ago. Stiff tasks when down the field in a couple of Grade 1s back over fences this term but this much more realistic and worth a go at this trip. Tongue strap back on.
15
3rd (15) Monbeg Genius (6/1 +25%)
Monbeg Genius

6
6/1(+25%)
(15) Monbeg Genius 6/1, Point winner who tasted success in maiden/novice hurdles last term. Further progress over fences this season, completing the hat-trick in small field at Chepstow, dictating matters but still value extra (beat a subsequent winner). Doesn't have to lead and remains unexposed.
7
4th (7) The Goffer (7.5/1 +58%)
The Goffer

7.5
7.5/1(+58%)
(7) The Goffer 7.5/1, Dual winning hurdler last season and has stepped up switched to fences this term, winning valuable event at Leopardstown on handicap debut 5 weeks ago. Remains unexposed and should have another big pot in him.
17
5th (17) Oscar Elite (8/1 +33%)
Oscar Elite

8
8/1(+33%)
(17) Oscar Elite 8/1, Has a pretty underwhelming overall record over fences but he was finally off the mark in this sphere when winning 3-runner Reynoldstown at Ascot last month, albeit a weak renewal. Also ran his best race last season when third in this off 1 lb lower so claims can be made.
8
6th (8) Tea Clipper (33/1 +0%)
Tea Clipper

33
33/1(+0%)
(8) Tea Clipper 33/1, Made a winning start over fences at Chepstow on return last season and generally good efforts in defeat after, including when third in London Gold Cup at Ascot in October. Ran poorly back over hurdles following month, however, and off since.
13
7th (13) Karl Philippe (66/1 +0%)
Karl Philippe

66
66/1(+0%)
(13) Karl Philippe 66/1, Resumed with 2m 4f win at Wetherby in November and backed it up off 7 lb higher mark when second in handicap there on Boxing Day. However, seemed to find the jump to a top-level handicap a bit too much here next time so opposable with stamina also to prove.
5
8th (5) Threeunderthrufive (18/1 +10%)
Threeunderthrufive

18
18/1(+10%)
(5) Threeunderthrufive 18/1, Enhanced good strike rate with 4 novice chase wins last season, notably Grade 2 events at Doncaster and Warwick. Needed comeback over hurdles before unseating at the first in Coral Cup at Newbury. Better than bare result in Classic at Warwick since and this test more suitable. Tongue strap fitted.
2
9th (2) Happygolucky (16/1 +0%)
Happygolucky

16
16/1(+0%)
(2) Happygolucky 16/1, Took very well to fences in 2020/21, second in this (off 5 lb higher) prior to winning Grade 3 handicap at Aintree. Missed all of last season but produced a most encouraging comeback when third in Rehearsal at Newcastle. Drop back in trip against him here since so worth another chance. Headgear on.
12
10th (12) Nassalam (9/1 +0%)
Nassalam

9
9/1(+0%)
(12) Nassalam 9/1, Had a good first season over fences, taking Newbury Grade 2 and ending campaign with success at Fontwell. Easily best effort this term when excellent third (in this headgear) in premier handicap here (20.6f) on New Year's Day, running on. Likely to stay this far and shortlisted.
1
11th (1) Fanion D'estruval (33/1 -32%)
Fanion D'estruval

33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Fanion D'estruval 33/1, Improved performer last season, taking 2½m handicap at Newbury and also third in Grade 1 Ascot Chase. Never figured in Coral Gold Cup on return but stepped up on that when third under this rider in Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby. Disappointed in Denman Chase since but ground might have been too fast.
21
12th (21) Fantastikas (16/1 -14%)
Fantastikas

16
16/1(-14%)
(21) Fantastikas 16/1, Progressive novice chaser last term (seventh in this last year off 12 lb higher) and he showed up well for a long way in a 27f handicap here on reappearance. Excuses since, jumping left when third at Wincanton latest, so could outrun odds in first-time headgear/tongue strap.
16
13th (16) Good Boy Bobby (33/1 +0%)
Good Boy Bobby

33
33/1(+0%)
(16) Good Boy Bobby 33/1, Successful twice at Wetherby last season, landing a listed handicap in October and the Rowland Meyrick (off 6 lb higher) on Boxing Day. Better for return when respectable fourth at Haydock but ran no sort of race there next time.
9
|PU| (9) Into Overdrive (10/1 -18%)
Into Overdrive

10
10/1(-18%)
(9) Into Overdrive 10/1, Different proposition over fences, completing the 4-timer on reappearance at Wetherby. Beaten only by L'Homme Presse in the Rehearsal at Newcastle next time before quickly resuming winning ways in Rowland Meyrick back at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Remains very much one to be interested in.
4
|PU| (4) The Big Breakaway (16/1 +0%)
The Big Breakaway

16
16/1(+0%)
(4) The Big Breakaway 16/1, Smart novice chaser in 2020/21. Largely disappointed in a light campaign last season but firmly back on track this term, just denied at Haydock on return before excellent second in Welsh National at Chepstow, jumping better than usual. Stamina is his forte so any rain would be in his favour.
22
|PU| (22) The Wolf (25/1 +38%)
The Wolf

25
25/1(+38%)
(22) The Wolf 25/1, Back on track (following another wind op) when second over C&D on return. However, hasn't been in the same form since and others are more appealing despite being on a career-low mark over fences.
3
|PU| (3) Remastered (33/1 -32%)
Remastered

33
33/1(-32%)
(3) Remastered 33/1, Smart chaser who made a winning return over hurdles at Aintree before excellent second in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Quickly resumed winning ways at Kempton but folded tamely back over hurdles at Sandown last time and that not the ideal prep for this. Cheekpieces back on.
14
|PU| (14) Top Ville Ben (33/1 +0%)
Top Ville Ben

33
33/1(+0%)
(14) Top Ville Ben 33/1, Not the force of old but his mark now reflects that and was a good 3 lengths third of 23 to The Goffer in handicap chase (28/1) at Leopardstown (21.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago. This harder, however, and likely to find a few too strong again.
20
|PU| (20) Harper's Brook (33/1 +18%)
Harper's Brook

33
33/1(+18%)
(20) Harper's Brook 33/1, Twice a winner over hurdles who has improved for switch to chasing, runner-up at Carlisle on return prior to going one place better in a Bangor handicap (20.3f). However, well held up in grade in Dipper here on New Year's Day and bit to prove now up in trip with headgear/tongue strap applied.
11
|PU| (11) Cloudy Glen (40/1 -82%)
Cloudy Glen

40
40/1(-82%)
(11) Cloudy Glen 40/1, Hard to predict but was runner-up in the Kim Muir 2 years ago and won the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury (26f) on return last season. Well held next 2 starts but reappeared (after 13 months off) with a creditable third in Grand National Trial at Haydock.
18
|PU| (18) Iceo Madrik (50/1 +24%)
Iceo Madrik

50
50/1(+24%)
(18) Iceo Madrik 50/1, Useful chaser in France, creditable 4 lengths second of 12 in Grade 3 Bernard Secly Chase at Cagnes-sur-Mer on final start for David Cottin. Stiff task on yard/British debut.
19
|PU| (19) Laskalin (66/1 -32%)
Laskalin

66
66/1(-32%)
(19) Laskalin 66/1, Ex-French winner who returned after a wind op/10 months off with an emphatic success at Ludlow (25.6f, good to soft). Solid placed efforts at Newbury/Sandown next 2 starts but found his run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Ascot last month. Others preferred.
23
|PU| (23) Glamorgan Duke (66/1 +0%)
Glamorgan Duke

66
66/1(+0%)
(23) Glamorgan Duke 66/1, Had lost his way but bounced back to best when 2 lengths second (splitting The Goffer and Top Ville Ben) of 23 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.2f) last month, a race he won in 2020 (lightly raced after). Remains to be seen if able to back that up (out of race too soon next time).

Constitution Hill

0.36
0.36/1(+0%)
(1) Constitution Hill 0.36/1, Exceptional winner of the Supreme at last year's Festival and underlined he could be one of the best hurdlers seen for a long time when easily accounting for Epatante in Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and Christmas Hurdle at Kempton. Kept fresh for this since. Can't be opposed.
5
2nd (5) State Man (3.5/1 -5%)
State Man

3.5
3.5/1(-5%)
(5) State Man 3.5/1, Unbeaten for this yard when completing. Impressive in County at 2022 Festival and 4-4 in Grade 1s since, the latest when accounting for Honeysuckle and Vauban in Irish Champion last month. Looks capable of better still but whether he can live with Constitution Hill is another matter.
7
3rd (7) Zanahiyr (66/1 +18%)
Zanahiyr

66
66/1(+18%)
(7) Zanahiyr 66/1, Very smart hurdler at his best. Bettered his first 2 efforts this season when 8 lengths last of 5 to State Man in the Irish Champion at Leopardstown 37 days ago but that underlines he has his work cut out at the highest level.
6
4th (6) Vauban (16/1 +11%)
Vauban

16
16/1(+11%)
(6) Vauban 16/1, Triple Grade 1 winner as a juvnenile, including the Triumph here. Has run well when placed behind stablemate State Man in Matheson and Irish Champion (both Leopardstown) this winter. Has a bigger peformance in him but it's still unlikely he'll be good enough.
4

Not So Sleepy

150
150/1(+0%)
(4) Not So Sleepy 150/1, Fifth in the last 2 runnings of this. Good third in Cesarewitch on the Flat at Newmarket in October. Also made a sound return to hurdling when third to Constitution Hill in Fighting Fifth but beaten before stamina should have been an issue over 3m at Kempton over Christmas. Freshened up since.
2
6th (2) I Like To Move It (25/1 +0%)
I Like To Move It

25
25/1(+0%)
(2) I Like To Move It 25/1, Smart novice hurdler last term and took it up another notch when impressively winning the Greatwood on his C&D reappearance. Disappointing when stepped up to 2½m for the Relkeel here on New Year's Day but quickly back on the up returned to 2m when dotting up in the Kingwell at Wincanton.
3

Jason The Militant

250

(3) Jason The Militant 250/1, Smart hurdler for Henry De Bromhead and also bagged a listed race on the Flat in October 2021. Ran respectably (bang there for a long way) in course handicap hurdle on his stable debut in January. Won't be up to the task here, though.

Honeysuckle

(4) Honeysuckle 2.25/1, Outstanding mare who was unbeaten in 16 runs, including in this event and 2 Champion Hurdles, until only placed in Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse and Irish Champion at Leopardstown on her last two starts. Still rates a big player here going back up in trip.

11

(5) Love Envoi 11/1, Strong-travelling mare who took the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham last season. Better form still displayed in winning twice at Sandown this winter so she can't be discounted.
8
3rd (8) Queens Brook (16/1 +20%)
Queens Brook

16
16/1(+20%)
(8) Queens Brook 16/1, Smart hurdler who bagged her second success this term in Quevega Mares Hurdle at Punchestown (20.4f) 20 days ago. Also runner-up in this contest 12 months ago so she's not dismissed, but does need more in hot renewal.
2

Echoes In Rain

9
9/1(+18%)
(2) Echoes In Rain 9/1, Smart hurdler who was still going well when falling 2 out in Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse (19.6f) before easily landing the odds in Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas (2m) in January. Shouldn't be underestimated.
1
5th (1) Brandy Love (9/1 -80%)
Brandy Love

9
9/1(-80%)
(1) Brandy Love 9/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who signed off for last term with success in Grade 1 novice at Fairyhouse in the spring. Returned from 10 months off with promising third of 7 to Queens Brook in Quevega Mares Hurdle at Punchestown (20.4f) 20 days ago. Should have more to offer. Shortlisted.
10
6th (10) Theatre Glory (50/1 -25%)
Theatre Glory

50
50/1(-25%)
(10) Theatre Glory 50/1, Improving mare who picked up her fifth win over hurdles when readily landing Warwick listed event in February. Yard also has Marie's Rock and Epatante in here but this C&D winner is likely to give another good account back up in grade.
6
7th (6) Marie's Rock (2.25/1 +10%)
Marie's Rock

2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(6) Marie's Rock 2.25/1, Much improved since stepped up to around 2½m (won 5 of 6 starts) and she resumed after 8 months off with stylish success in Relkeel Hurdle here in January. Also took this event 12 months ago when showing a good turn of foot so she's just about the pick in a really hot renewal.
3
8th (3) Epatante (6/1 +25%)
Epatante

6
6/1(+25%)
(3) Epatante 6/1, Well-established, classy mare, who ran with credit behind stablemate Constitution Hill in Fighting Fifth and Christmas Hurdle this term before easily landing the odds in Doncaster Grade 2. The 2020 Champion Hurdle heroine must enter calculations.

(9) Shewearsitwell 28/1, Smart hurdler who arrives on a hat-trick after ready successes at Punchestown and Leopardstown (Irish EBF Mares' Hurdle by 4½ lengths from Queens Brook) this winter. This demands more but she's no forlorn hope after a break.

Jazzy Matty

18
18/1(+0%)
(10) Jazzy Matty 18/1, Fairyhouse maiden winner in December who was a creditable 4¾ lengths of 6 to Sir Allen (Morning Soldier second, Byker third) in juvenile at Naas last time. Has a tongue tie refitted and cheekpieces on for the first time. Yard knows what it takes to win this.
5
2nd (5) Byker (6/1 -9%)
Byker

6
6/1(-9%)
(5) Byker 6/1, Fairly useful Flat winner and going right way over hurdles for this much respected stable, winning a Naas maiden before a good third to Sir Allen (Morning Soldier second) back there 13 days later. Cheekpieces on first time. Should have more to offer in handicaps.
6
3rd (6) Risk Belle (10/1 +29%)
Risk Belle

10
10/1(+29%)
(6) Risk Belle 10/1, Started her career with 2 wins in France. Came up a little short at Graded level on first 2 outings for this stable but was heavily backed switched to handicap company at the Dublin Racing Festival only to fall just after halfway. Evidently thought capable of better.
20
4th (20) Sundial (18/1 -13%)
Sundial

18
18/1(-13%)
(20) Sundial 18/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat. Has yet to build on an eye-catching hurdle debut sixth but it's still early days and he represents the same owner/trainer as last year's winner Brazil. Has first-time cheekpieces added to a refitted tongue strap. Interesting runner.
21
5th (21) Mr Freedom (40/1 +20%)
Mr Freedom

40
40/1(+20%)
(21) Mr Freedom 40/1, Is enjoying an excellent season, gaining a fourth hurdle win (also successful on AW Flat) in 2m handicap hurdle at Warwick last month. Another good effort when close third at Doncaster since but likely vulnerable to less exposed types here unless first-time cheekpieces spark some improvement.
11
6th (11) Metamorpheus (22/1 -10%)
Metamorpheus

22
22/1(-10%)
(11) Metamorpheus 22/1, Won 21-runner juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (2mf, heavy) in January (final start for Timothy Doyle). Respectable 5 lengths fifth of 6 in Naas novice won by Sir Allen on last month's first outing for Paul Nolan. Handicap debut.
17
7th (17) Gordons Aura (80/1 -21%)
Gordons Aura

80
80/1(-21%)
(17) Gordons Aura 80/1, Found a little improvement when coming good in a Fairyhouse juvenile maiden hurdle last month. Well beaten on AW Flat since and doesn't look obviously well treated from his opening mark in this sphere.
16
8th (16) Afadil (28/1 -27%)
Afadil

28
28/1(-27%)
(16) Afadil 28/1, French Flat winner who easily landed short odds on his Taunton hurdle debut and was value for extra when following up in Musselburgh listed event last month. Presumably found run coming too soon when well held in Victor Ludorum at Haydock 13 days later. Stable has won this 3 times.
15
9th (15) Fils De Roi (40/1 +39%)
Fils De Roi

40
40/1(+39%)
(15) Fils De Roi 40/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles, winning Auteuil claimer on final start in France and easily following up in Huntingdon juvenile on October's stable debut. In process of running creditably when falling in Grade 2 next start and latest Musselburgh listed third was another solid display. Handicap bow.
3
10th (3) Perseus Way (8/1 +33%)
Perseus Way

8
8/1(+33%)
(3) Perseus Way 8/1, Useful Flat winner who has quickly reached that level in this sphere, notching 2 wins and placing twice at Graded level. Bit better than result (badly hampered 3 out) when 1¼ lengths second to Nusret in Adonis at Kempton latest. A mark in the low-130s looks manageable.
4
11th (4) Sir Allen (10/1 +9%)
Sir Allen

10
10/1(+9%)
(4) Sir Allen 10/1, Going the right way over hurdles, winning a Punchestown maiden (heavy) on New Year's Eve before seeing off a few of these rivals in a Naas novice (good to soft) last month. Has the potential for better again.
19
12th (19) Ludus (25/1 +24%)
Ludus

25
25/1(+24%)
(19) Ludus 25/1, Made it third time lucky over hurdles at Limerick over Christmas. Better form when second in juvenile handicap at Punchestown (2m, heavy) 5 weeks later. May do better again.
8
13th (8) Bad (5/1 +33%)
Bad

5
5/1(+33%)
(8) Bad 5/1, Promise in France, runner-up twice last spring before coming good in taking style at Bordeaux (18.5f) in November, leading on bridle approaching last and quickening clear. Interesting contender for new yard enjoying excellent season.
7
14th (7) Punta Del Este (20/1 -25%)
Punta Del Este

20
20/1(-25%)
(7) Punta Del Este 20/1, Left hurdling debut form behind when winning 9-runner juvenile at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (16.5f, soft) in December (final start for David Cottin). Promising third in Victor Ludorum at Haydock on British debut, marking him down as a likely type for this race.
12
15th (12) Action Motion (125/1 -25%)
Action Motion

125
125/1(-25%)
(12) Action Motion 125/1, Fair Flat performer. Left hurdle debut well behind when springing a 20/1 surprise in Cork maiden in January. Improved again when 6 lengths fourth of 9 in Punchestown juvenile handicap 6 weeks ago but it's not a performance which suggests he's well treated enough to win a race like this.
14
16th (14) Mighty Mo Missouri (50/1 -25%)
Mighty Mo Missouri

50
50/1(-25%)
(14) Mighty Mo Missouri 50/1, Fair maiden on Flat. Yet to win over hurdles either but he has performed to a fairly useful level when runner-up in big-field maiden events at Naas (to Byker) and Gowran on his last 2 outings. Handicap debut.
22
17th (22) Romancero Le Dun (22/1 +56%)
Romancero Le Dun

22
22/1(+56%)
(22) Romancero Le Dun 22/1, Didn't get beyond the first at Warwick in November so he was effectively making his debut when scoring in a small field at Exeter 19 days later. Followed up at Ludlow in January and has the physical scope to suggest he'll go on improving for a while yet.
18
18th (18) Shared (50/1 +24%)
Shared

50
50/1(+24%)
(18) Shared 50/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat who belied market weakness to make a winning start over hurdles for new connections at Wetherby in January. Shade disappointing at Musselburgh 10 days later but bounced back immediately with Doncaster novice win 3 weeks ago. Handicap debut.
2
19th (2) Tekao (3/1 +0%)
Tekao

3
3/1(+0%)
(2) Tekao 3/1, Highly promising sort who cosily landed the odds in 18-runner juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Hooded first time, advanced his form again when 12½ lengths third of 8 to Gala Marceau in Grade 1 back at Leopardstown last month. Definitely more to come.
9
20th (9) Samuel Spade (20/1 +0%)
Samuel Spade

20
20/1(+0%)
(9) Samuel Spade 20/1, No more than a fair handicapper on the Flat but has quickly reached a higher level over hurdles, winning at Kempton and Huntingdon and a good second in a Class 2 event at Huntingdon in between.
1
|PU| (1) Mctigue (125/1 -25%)
Mctigue

125
125/1(-25%)
(1) Mctigue 125/1, Useful on the Flat for Jim Bolger. Made a very good start over hurdles in the autumn, including a Grade 2 success at Auteuil, but has been some way below that level since, including in the Morebattle at Kelso only 10 days ago.

Gaillard Du Mesnil

0.91
0.91/1(+9%)
(4) Gaillard Du Mesnil 0.91/1, Very smart chaser who finished third in last year's Brown Advisory here prior to filling same spot in Irish Grand National. Posted solid placed efforts behind Mighty Potter either side of opening his chase account in Grade 1 over Christmas and he's very much the one to beat back up in trip.
1
2nd (1) Chemical Energy (8/1 +20%)
Chemical Energy

8
8/1(+20%)
(1) Chemical Energy 8/1, Useful, dual winner over hurdles who shaped better than the bare result when eighth in last year's Martin Pipe. Looked one to keep onside when registering back-to-back novice chase victories in the autumn (at up to 3m) and type to bounce back from lesser display at Naas in January. Interesting.
8
3rd (8) Mister Coffey (11/1 -10%)
Mister Coffey

11
11/1(-10%)
(8) Mister Coffey 11/1, Talented but rather frustrating performer who shaped very well when runner-up in the Kim Muir 12 months ago. Never threatened over the National fences final start but firmly back on track this term, runner-up at Uttoxeter 31 days ago (clear of remainder). Expected to give another good account.
9
4th (9) Tenzing (9/1 +36%)
Tenzing

9
9/1(+36%)
(9) Tenzing 9/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who tasted success on sole start over hurdles and solid start over fences this term, albeit no match for Mahler Mission in Navan maiden (3m) back in January. Feasible to think he could have more to offer for his very powerful yard but expected to find a few too good here.
5
|F| (5) Mahler Mission (6.5/1 +7%)
Mahler Mission

6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(5) Mahler Mission 6.5/1, Progressive 3-time winner over hurdles and improved further over fences, off the mark in a Navan maiden (3m, soft) in January prior to career-best second in Grade 2 novice back at that venue last month, not fluent last but keeping on. Unexposed granted this sort of test and sound each-way claims.
10
|F| (10) Bellatrixsa (125/1 +0%)
Bellatrixsa

125
125/1(+0%)
(10) Bellatrixsa 125/1, Versatile mare who has tasted success 4 times over hurdles and added to her tally on Flat at Chester (18.6f) last May. Has showed aptitude for chasing in 2 starts since the turn of the year but hard to envisage her making an impact at this level on these terms.
6
|F| (6) Malinello (125/1 +17%)
Malinello

125
125/1(+17%)
(6) Malinello 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler who made light of an almost 2-year absence to score on chase debut at Newcastle (23.4f) in November. Best not judged too harshly on his sixth-place finish over 2½m here in January but whilst it remains early days, he has plenty to find on these terms upped markedly in trip.
7
|PU| (7) Minella Crooner (6.5/1 +7%)
Minella Crooner

6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(7) Minella Crooner 6.5/1, Useful hurdler and excellent start over fences when second in Punchestown Gr 2 in November. Confirmed promise to go one place better in maiden at Fairyhouse (21f) in December and shaped like this greater test is worth exploring when runner-up in rated chase back at that venue (23.5f) 5 weeks ago.
2
|PU| (2) Coolvalla (50/1 -52%)
Coolvalla

50
50/1(-52%)
(2) Coolvalla 50/1, Hurdles winner who has improved markedly for switch to chasing, maintaining 100% record when completing 4-timer at Fontwell (27.7f) in January, in command when forging clear from 3 out. Remains open to further improvement with emphasis on stamina but good deal more needed at this level.
3

Fakiera

50/1(+24%)
(3) Fakiera 50/1, Useful hurdler (Grade 3 winner) who remains a maiden over fences but again ran well when runner-up at Punchestown (22.7f) on penultimate start in January. Lesser display in Thyestes Chase later that month and whilst he stays this far, he needs to pull out more to play a lead role. Tongue tie added.

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.
