Likely to improve and makes plenty of appeal. Shaped well when beaten 8l in winners' contest at Listowel and softer ground should help. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (18/5 +28%) Right Now |

Half-brother to a winning hurdler and very much one to consider. Placed in 1m2f maidens; should handle the ground; yard has a few useful juvenile hurdlers. |

7th (2) (80/1 -100%) Eagles Reign |
80/1(-100%) | (2) Eagles Reign 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Eleventh of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 50/1) 11 days ago. Rated a modest 53 on the level; not beaten far in 1m1f Tipperary handicap; hurdles debut. |

KALEOSUN is an interesting recruit for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown and may be able to make a winning start over hurdles. The No Risk At All gelding won a French bumper back in April and subsequently was bought for 215,000 euros. Hands On shaped with promise when fourth on his jumping debut at Listowel and with some natural improvement from that experience he is entitled to be a big player. Right Now was placed in a couple of Flat maidens and has a mark of 71 on the level. He is sure to be well schooled for this task and is another for the shortlist.
KALEOSUN was picked up for a hefty sum after winning a French bumper and he's fancied to make a successful start for his powerful connections at the likely expense of Hands On, who shaped encouragingly in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel 28 days ago. Right Now is another one to consider.
French import KALEOSUN cost plenty and looks a likely type. The market will be helpful regarding Hands On who ran well at Listowel

1st (3) (4/9 +47%) Black Bamboo |
4/9(+47%) | (3) Black Bamboo 4/9, Fairly useful bumper winner. Similar form over hurdles, creditable fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.8f) in August, no extra late on over longest trip he's tackled. One to consider returned to 20f. Bumper winner has by far the best hurdles form of these and trip/ground will be fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (22/1 -10%) Ollie La Ba Ba |
22/1(-10%) | (5) Ollie La Ba Ba 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Listowel (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Return to shorter rates a likely plus on that evidence. Not far off Our Girl Sal and Ivy Hall when fifth at Bellewstown; 3m looked too far latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 +14%) Iceberg Theory |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Iceberg Theory 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, eleventh of 18 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Nice debut run in Leopardstown bumper; well held in valuable sales bumper next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (5/1 -25%) Purse Price |
5/1(-25%) | (14) Purse Price 5/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. Seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Sligo (16.9f, good) 98 days ago. Back up in trip here and pick of form suggests she can play a part here. String of placed efforts in similar contests last winter but has disappointed last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (125/1 -150%) Stickman |
125/1(-150%) | (6) Stickman 125/1, €15,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. In frame once from 3 starts in points, well beaten last time (Apr 5). Probably best watched making Rules/hurdling debut. Best point run was in contest won by the much-discussed Flemensface in March; rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (40/1 -186%) Ivy Hall |
40/1(-186%) | (12) Ivy Hall 40/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 16/1, twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Just behind Our Girl Sal when fourth over 2m4f at Bellewstown; poor run at Listowel since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (6/1 +0%) Our Girl Sal |
6/1(+0%) | (13) Our Girl Sal 6/1, Modest hurdler. 13/2, creditable fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.5f, soft) 20 days ago, likely to have finished closer still but for a couple of late mistakes. Each-way claims. Had two of these behind when third at Bellewstown; late errors when fourth at Roscommon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (80/1 -142%) Coillte Aris |
80/1(-142%) | (11) Coillte Aris 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip now but likely type for low-grade handicaps moving forward. Better on second hurdles starts when beaten 21l at Killarney; unlikely to contend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (66/1 -65%) Mount Frisco |
66/1(-65%) | (7) Mount Frisco 66/1, Modest hurdler. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Well beaten since placed in good-ground Sligo maiden in July; hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

25/1(-56%) | (1) Metalor 25/1, €27,000 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam unraced. Won sole start in points (Mar 19) and the betting should prove a useful guide ahead of Rules/hurdling debut. Flat pedigree on dam-side; won a heavy-ground point at Ballyraggett in March; rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (150/1 -50%) Rohirrim Lad |

13th (10) (150/1 -200%) Bridie Whittle |
150/1(-200%) | (10) Bridie Whittle 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy, 33/1) on NH debut 15 days ago. Beaten 53l over this trip on heavy ground at Gowran; will need more time. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Not the strongest looking contest and if BLACK BAMBOO can perform anywhere near his mark of 121 he should be able to collect. The John Murphy-trained gelding was a bumper winner back in February 2022 and has kept decent company since going over hurdles. This is an easier task than the novice hurdle he ran in at Killarney last time. Despite finishing fifth of six then he wasn't beaten far behind Lucid Dreams. The mare Purse Price disappointed when last seen at Sligo in July but she had been consistent before that and looks a potential danger in receipt of 9lb. Our Girl Sal has been knocking on the door and could be place material.
BLACK BAMBOO ran creditably whilst suggesting his stamina was stretched tackling an extended 22f at Killarney in August and, having previously highlighted a race of this nature was within his grasp, he gets the vote to come out on top dropping back in trip. Purse Price and Our Girl Sal can emerge as the chief threats.
A gilt-edged opportunity forBLACK BAMBOO whose form is by far the strongest; Purse Price can be next best if bouncing back

1st (7) (15/8 +25%) Desert Heather |
15/8(+25%) | (7) Desert Heather 15/8, Much improved switched to handicaps in this sphere, defying a 14 lb hike in weights when doubling her tally at Kilbeggan (24.2f) in May, pulling long way clear with another most progressive sort. Looks a major player on that evidence in receipt of weight all round. Was in mighty form in 3m Kilbeggan handicaps in the spring; vulnerable to race-fit rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/2 +0%) Solitary Man |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Solitary Man 5/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Career best when winning 5-runner minor event hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, good to soft, 6/4) 14 days ago, pushed out. Improving all the time recently. Comfortable success in Killarney rated novice over 2m7f; faces stronger rivals here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 -45%) Pinyon Jay |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Pinyon Jay 8/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. Won 9-runner novice hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good to soft, 9/4) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve. Overcame greenness when winning on hurdling debut at Down Royal (2m4f, good to yielding). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +20%) Sea Music |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Sea Music 4/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. 5/4 and hooded for 1st time, third of 6 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft) 30 days ago, rallying straight and taking that pace on line. Promises to be suited by this step up to 3m on that evidence. Made most at Ballinrobe and didn't have enough use made of him last time; 3m will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/1 -82%) Moon D'Orange |
10/1(-82%) | (1) Moon D'Orange 10/1, Third sole start between the flags and built on encouraging hurdles debut effort when running out a good winner of a Cartmel maiden (22f) on return to action in May, idling when in command near finish. Better to come now stamina is drawn out further. Won ordinary 2m6f maiden at Cartmel in May; lot more needed here but merits respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (22/1 -10%) Park The Giant |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Park The Giant 22/1, Walk In The Park gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Cruisin Susan. Dam, useful German 7f winner, sister to useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Tarlac. Successful on last of 4 starts in points (Apr 9). Betting should guide on Rules/hurdles debut. Successful on fourth start in points back in April; very stiff task on rules debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (28/1 +15%) Zolpharine |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Zolpharine 28/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in September. 22/1, last of 4 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Maiden winner was never a factor in four-runner Listowel novice; steps up in trip from 2m. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The mare DESERT HEATHER has a nice weight in this with Ray Barron taking 5lb off her back and may be worth siding with on her return to action. The daughter of Cloudings stays all day and was progressive last season, ending her campaign with two wins at Kilbeggan. She is joint top-rated off a mark of 128 but when you take into account Barron's claim she will receive a stone and 4lb from Solitary Man, who has the same rating. Enda Bolger's charge was a good winner of a novice event at Killarney at the start of the month and has race fitness on his side. There may be more to come from the lightly-raced Moon D'orange who scored at Cartmel in May, and he is another that has to be considered.
DESERT HEATHER was improving at a rate of knots when last seen, doubling her tally in good style at Kilbeggan in May, and she's fancied to continue the good work back from 5 months off in receipt of weight all round. Solitary Man and Sea Music are just a couple of others to consider in a race which should throw up winners.
A good little contest. SEA MOON wasn't seen to best effect last time and will be hard to beat over 3m with more positive tactics

1st (10) (11/4 +31%) Getabelle |
11/4(+31%) | (10) Getabelle 11/4, 15/2, very good second of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.7f, good to soft) 69 days ago, running on. Merits consideration. Second in 18-runner C&D handicap in August but that was on decent ground. |

2nd (12) (9/2 +25%) Onefortheditch |
9/2(+25%) | (12) Onefortheditch 9/2, Promising type. 25/1, seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.2f, soft) 34 days ago, finishing with running left. Looks competitive on form. Not shamed when beaten 10l on handicap bow at Galway (2m6f); place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/3 -11%) Toor Moon |
10/3(-11%) | (7) Toor Moon 10/3, Good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, good to soft, 20/1) 14 days ago. Has good chance on form. Second to in-form rival over 2m7f at Killarney where he handled yielding-to-soft. |

5th (11) (66/1 -100%) Mythical Times |
66/1(-100%) | (11) Mythical Times 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 15 days ago. Some fair Flat runs; fitness probably caught him out on recent handicap debut after layoff. |

22/1(-10%) | (16) Max Time 22/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Galway (16.7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Not beaten too far in two outings before tailed-off effort on testing ground at Galway. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (6/1 +8%) Added Bonus |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (20/1 +20%) Boxcar Molly |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Boxcar Molly 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, ninth of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 22 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Beaten around 30l in a pair of maidens and probably needed it at Listowel; handicap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

33/1(+34%) | (4) Smallcraftwarning 33/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 22 days ago, behind when pulled up early in straight. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Fourth in Punchestown maiden in June but poor form in handicaps since; tongue-tie added. |

66/1(+34%) | (13) Aldworth Court 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 40/1) 14 days ago. Nothing in maidens and, after five months off, same story on handicap debut at Killarney. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GETABELLE ran well on her last visit here and may be able to go one better now. The Getaway mare lost out by half a length to Blenheim Belle back in August and stuck on all the way to the line after being headed on the run-in. She only went up 2lb for that effort and looks capable of winning a race of this standard. Toor Moon has been placed on his last couple of outings and looks an obvious danger. He ran well last time when chasing home Londonofficecallin in Killarney. Mikita was beaten a long way when third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on her last start but could get closer trying handicap company for the first time now.
ONEFORTHEDITCH very much caught the eye on her handicap bow at Galway so could be worth chancing at the main expense of Toor Moon and Getabelle.
There could easily be one or two well-treated types amongst the handicap first-timers but Killarney second TOOR MOON is the solid option

7/1(+56%) | (4) Chapel Street 7/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.9f, soft, 10/1) 20 days ago. Not so good at Roscommon last time and will have to recapture his best. |

2nd (7) (33/1 -18%) Ladyeze Man |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Ladyeze Man 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 125/1) 64 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should progress. Should be more competitive now tackling handicaps; the market can be a help. |

3rd (5) (6/1 -20%) Herculaneum |
6/1(-20%) | (5) Herculaneum 6/1, 16/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time over jumps (on when winning on the Flat). Won a Naas handicap hurdle in March but has been below that three times since; needs best. |

Not at best when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on reappearance 16 days ago but could strip fitter for the run. Well treated on his best form. Can improve from his Gowran return outing and run respectably. |

7th (13) (5/1 -25%) Glencourt Valley |
5/1(-25%) | (13) Glencourt Valley 5/1, 66/1, fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Enters calculations. Much better effort in a Navan handicap last time; the rise in trip should suit; player. |

22/1(-10%) | (14) Jaariam 22/1, Eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. A decent effort on yard debut at Galway but was tailed-off at Gowran since. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (25/1 -25%) Noble Crusade |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Noble Crusade 25/1, Fair Flat winner. Not at best in that sphere lately but he remains one who should be up tro making his presence felt in ordinary handicap hurdles. Regressive on the Flat; well beaten on handicap hurdle debut at this track in July. |

33/1(+34%) | (16) Charlie Bawnie 33/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft, 40/1) 48 days ago, bad mistake second. Tongue strap back on. Had mucus in her lungs when pulled-up last time; can't be dismissed. |

18/1(-13%) | (2) Walk In The Dark 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Limerick (17f, soft) 80 days ago, tailing off long way out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Pulled-up on handicap debut at Limerick in July; tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |

40/1(-21%) | (11) Enoughofthat 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 25 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should be more competitive now in handicaps; market may help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BALLYDANGAN posted an improved effort when chasing home Mick Charlie at Fairyhouse last time and may be capable of going a place better now. The first three pulled nicely clear that day and the form was given a boost with the third horse, Croi Corcra, running out a cosy winner over fences at Tramore the other day. Run Like Fada comes here off the back of a couple of decent runs and could be a danger. The Court Cave gelding was a solid third at Listowel last time and remains on the same mark, giving him another shot at this grade. Herculaneum, a winner on the Flat during the summer, looks on a nice mark over timber and is another for the shortlist.
If BALLYDANGAN is in the same form as when an improved second at Fairyhouse recently he might be able to go one better now. The return to a slightly longer trip could suit Glencourt Valley and he's second choice ahead of Run Like Fada and John McConnell's Noble Crusade.
If building upon his decent Navan effort last time, GLENCOURT VALLEY could be able to get off the mark in this lower grade

1st (7) (5/1 +64%) Time Marches On |

9/2(-13%) | (1) Clever Currency 9/2, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Off the mark over fences in a small-field handicap at Sligo (17.6f, heavy) last time but this demands a lot more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/2 -57%) Dundaniel |
11/2(-57%) | (2) Dundaniel 11/2, Winning pointer who made a successful start under Rules in hunter chase at this course (24f, soft) in April. Interesting contender on his return to action under Jack Kennedy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/5(-10%) | (5) Potters Party 11/5, Fair hurdler. 13/8 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fell halfway in novice chase at Sligo (21.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Open to improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3/1(+25%) | (3) Butterflyvespiere 3/1, Fairly useful chaser. 9/1, excellent second of 5 in maiden at Tramore (15.4f, good) 134 days ago. Big player if primed after her break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CLEVER CURRENCY comes here in winning form and it looks like a nice bit of placing with a horse that has plenty of experience over fences. He scored in good style at Sligo late last month and went up 7lb for that, leaving him just a pound shy of the top mark for qualification in this race. Simon Cavanagh's 7lb claim is a help. Butterflyvespiere has a mark of 109 so just scrapes into this. She was last seen chasing home a smart sort in Heia in a Tramore beginners chase in June and has to be respected on her return. Potters Party was a faller on his chase debut at Sligo but if that hasn't left a mark he could be a big player in this company.
DUNDANIEL won nicely on his hunter debut in the spring and might be up to following up on his return. Butterflyvespiere will be a threat if reproducing the level of her Tramore second at the start of the summer, while Potters Party fell around halfway on his chase debut but his strength in the betting on that occasions suggests his leading yard thinks he can on to better things over fences.
It looks significant that POTTERS PARTY is turned out quickly after falling when favourite in a Sligo novice chase

13/2(+68%) | (11) Typical Thomas 13/2, 10/3, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 37 days ago, kept up to work. Makes handicap chase debut. Others more persuasive. Won a 2m3f Kilbeggan beginners' last time but best form has come on a sound surface. |

5th (9) (14/1 -17%) Union Park |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Union Park 14/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase (10/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 37 days ago, driven clear. A career-best when winning a Kilbeggan handicap last time; 9lb rise makes this tougher. |

6th (1) (4/1 +0%) Indiana Jones |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Indiana Jones 4/1, Latest win in chase at Navan in March. 40/1, 16 lengths third of 4 to El Fabiolo in Barberstown Castle Novices' Chase (Colliers) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 171 days ago.

FIGHTING FIT is indeed that and his race fitness could prove the difference here. The Philip Dempsey-trained gelding confirmed Galway form over Barnacullia with a convincing success at Listowel last month and the eight-year-old has returned in great heart after his form tailed off a bit last season. He went up 10lb for his latest win but may be able to complete the hat-trick. Indiana Jones is a classy performer on his day and the top-weight could be the danger on his return. He was last seen finishing third in top level company at Punchestown and was also a Grade 3 winner last season. Mark Walsh takes the ride on Cayd Boy, owned like the selection by JP McManus. He is a smart performer on his day and also has to be considered in this.
FIGHTING FIT looks the obvious one on the back of a career best, and is preferred to Indiana Jones and Cayd Boy.
It could be worth taking a chance on CAYD BOY upsetting the more fancied, in-form Fighting Fit in the same ownership.

2nd (8) (50/1 +0%) Ballysax Hank |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Ballysax Hank 50/1, Eliot gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, 1½m winner on Flat. Bred to have enough speed for this sort of test, so worthy of a market check. Home-bred looks best watched for future reference. |

18/1(+0%) | (6) Toor Khov 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, third of 11 in bumper at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 25 days ago. Respected. Solid effort on rules debut in a Listowel bumper; likely to have improved from that. |

11/2(-57%) | (2) Icare D'aubrelle 11/2, Won 7-runner bumper at Naas (15.6f, soft, 5/2) on NH debut, readily. Off 20 months since, so market likely to be informative. Won a Naas bumper on debut in 2022; long absence but the market could provide clues. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/1 -60%) Cap Bernat |
16/1(-60%) | (3) Cap Bernat 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Second of 4 in bumper (22/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) 30 days ago, no match for winner. Runner-up at Downpatrick last month on soft ground; needs to find more but can run well. |

8th (7) (13/2 +19%) Youre A Derry Girl |
13/2(+19%) | (7) Youre A Derry Girl 13/2, 50/1, career best when winning 17-runner bumper at this course (18.7f, good to soft) 69 days ago. Claims if she can back that up. A 50-1 winner over C&D in August; needs to improve further but shouldn't be underestimated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

80/1(+20%) | (10) Demanding Gerry 80/1, Masterofthehorse filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 25f) Milsean. Not a bad pedigree but probably best watched for future reference. |

It's hard to oppose Willie Mullins in bumpers at the moment, with 35 already in the bag this season, and GLOWING ACCOUNT can follow up here after an impressive debut at Listowel. The Le Havre gelding barely had to come off the bridle to score by five lengths last month and is a nice prospect. Icare D'aubrelle was also very impressive when winning his bumper but that came back in February 2022 and a long absence would be a concern. Described as 'special' by trainer Tom Cooper then it will be interesting to see how he fares on his return. Cap Bernat is also considered after a couple of decent efforts in defeat at Downpatrick.
GLOWING ACCOUNT made a winning start with loads to spare at Listowel 28 days ago and, with the scope for better, he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record. Icare D'Aubrelle and Cap Bernat are the most appealing of the others.
It is difficult to oppose GLOWING ACCOUNT, who impressed with the manner of his debut win at Listowel and can improve from that too.

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.
