1st (9)  (4.5/1 +47%)Ivetwiggedit |
4.5/1(+47%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ivetwiggedit 4.5/1, Well held in bumper/trio of mares' novice hurdles during 2021/22 for Ben Pauling. Has since switched yards ahead of this handicap debut and worth a check in the betting for positive vibes. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.25/1 +10%)Glory Bridge |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glory Bridge 2.25/1, Sedgefield bumper winner who offered more than previously over hurdles when runner-up in a C&D novice 13 days ago, keeping on without threatening the winner. Likely there's more to come now handicapping and he's respected. | |||
3rd (7)  (1.25/1 +38%)Half The Freedom |
1.25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Half The Freedom 1.25/1, Displayed promise prior to getting off the mark in a C&D novices' handicap 2 weeks ago, looking well served by the return to better ground. Rider's claim off-setts subsequent weight rise and he's a definite player again. | |||
4th (3)  (8/1 +33%)Golden Town |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Golden Town 8/1, Veteran who has dropped a fair way in the weights and not disgraced when staying on for fourth at Uttoxeter (15.8f) in October. Eased further 4 lb ahead of this but others appeal more for win purposes. | |||
5th (5)  (22/1 +33%)Monymusk Lad |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Monymusk Lad 22/1, Went the wrong way in bumpers and modest form at best over hurdles. Let down by his jumping on chase bow at Fakenham (21.2f) on New Year's Day and others more appealing ahead of this switch back to timber. | |||
6th (8)  (66/1 -230%)Melvich Bay |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Melvich Bay 66/1, Failed to kick on following a promising start in bumpers and showed little in trio of novice/maiden hurdles spread over 11 months. Does at least now get a crack at handicaps but would need to see market support to make him of interest. | |||
7th (6)  (14/1 +13%)Professor Calculus |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Professor Calculus 14/1, Maiden on Flat/over hurdles who showed no aptitude for chasing when well beaten fourth at Hereford (2m) back in November. Now operating from career-low mark ahead of return to hurdles if short break has had positive effect. | |||
8th (10)  (50/1 +0%)Ace Time |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ace Time 50/1, Purple patch when landing 2m handicap hurdles at Leicester and Uttoxeter late in 2021. However, struggled to find his form during first half of last year, pulled up at Worcester (20f) in June. Absent since. |

1st (11)  (3.5/1 +71%)Sarsons Risk |
3.5/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sarsons Risk 3.5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Ian Williams, stays 12.5f, landed back-to-back handicaps in August and improved further when second last time. Likeable type who rates an interesting hurdling debutant. Had breathing op. | |||
2nd (9)  (3.5/1 +22%)Ring Of Beara |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ring Of Beara 3.5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and has run well all 3 starts over hurdles (fair form), including when third at Wetherby 2 weeks ago, despite being a bit keener than ideal. Should give another good account. | |||
3rd (7)  (4/1 +75%)Montregard |
4/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Montregard 4/1, Joshua Tree gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Protektorat and 2¼m chase winner Protektrice. Dam useful hurdle/chase winner up to 2¾m. Makes plenty of appeal on paper, so well worth a market check. | |||
4th (2)  (8.5/1 -143%)Bluegrass |
8.5/1(-143%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bluegrass 8.5/1, Useful on Flat (stays 10.5f), laboured effort last time but placed in Dante Stakes earlier in season. Sold from Aidan O'Brien for 50,000 gns later in October and gelded. Interesting recruit to hurdling. | |||
5th (10)  (10/1 -67%)Sanitiser |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sanitiser 10/1, Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Paul & Oliver Cole. Shaped as if in need of the experience sent hurdling when a well-held third at Musselburgh (15.6f) 39 days ago and is capable of better. | |||
6th (1)  (4/1 -100%)Achnamara |
4/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Achnamara 4/1, Useful 14f winner on Flat in 2022 for Charlie & Mark Johnston. Changed hands for 50,000 gns but was badly let down by his jumping on his Fontwell hurdling/stable debut. Can obviously do better if he's learnt from that. | |||
7th (4)  (66/1 -100%)Ghasham |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ghasham 66/1, Fairly useful at best on Flat but has run below that level both starts over hurdles, including in first-time cheekpieces last time. | |||
8th (8)  (50/1 -52%)Play By The Rules |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Play By The Rules 50/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling in first-time tongue strap when third of 5 at Exeter in November. Went backwards at Wetherby last time, however. | |||
9th (3)  (40/1 -21%)Choirmaster |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Choirmaster 40/1, Fairly useful on Flat for the Johnstons but stopped to nothing on last month's C&D hurdling debut. | |||
10th (6)  (100/1 +0%)Grifter |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Grifter 100/1, Winner of just one of his 17 starts on the Flat and made a promising start over hurdles at Musselburgh in December. | |||
11th (12)  (9/1 +25%)Tidal Storm |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Tidal Storm 9/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m). Below form last 2 starts in that sphere but is related to a couple of winning hurdlers and offered something to work on when third of 14 at Taunton (16.5f) 41 days ago. Open to improvement. |

1st (5)  (7.5/1 -25%)My Bad Lucy |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) My Bad Lucy 7.5/1, Point winner who has shown only modest form over hurdles/fences, sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f) 33 days ago. Needs to step forward. | |||
2nd (7)  (3/1 +0%)Elleon |
3/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Elleon 3/1, Yet to win but has makde a promising start over fences, second of 9 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.9f) 11 days ago. Enters calculations. | |||
3rd (8)  (8.5/1 +39%)Lough Salt |
8.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lough Salt 8.5/1, C&D winner but below par this term, only seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f) 14 days ago. Others are more persuasive. | |||
4th (1)  (8/1 -14%)Top Decision |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Top Decision 8/1, Course winner but he has gone backwards in two starts since his reappearance second at Stratford. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to get back on track. | |||
5th (4)  (2/1 -6%)Future Benefits |
2/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Future Benefits 2/1, Point winner who made a successful chase debut in novice handicap at Newcastle (23.4f) in November. Very good second at Market Rasen since so he's a player. | |||
6th (3)  (22/1 -10%)Famous Last Word |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Famous Last Word 22/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who improved when third upped to 25f on handicap debut over hurdles at Warwick in May 2021. Below par since, including on chase debut when pulled up at Wincanton. Lots more is needed. | |||
7th (6)  (4/1 +20%)First Man |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) First Man 4/1, Won 3 of his final 4 starts in 2020/21. Only 3 runs since and not disgraced when third of 19 in handicap hurdle here 30 days ago. Weighted to go well back chasing. |

(6)  (6.5/1 +54%)Johnson's Blue |
6.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Johnson's Blue 6.5/1, Front-runner who won 6 times in a very productive 2022, the latest at Catterick (25f) in November. Perhaps unsuited by the drop back to 2½m when a below-form sixth at Fakenham on New Year's Day. Not the type to stay down for long. | |||
1st (4)  (4.5/1 +59%)Docpickedme |
4.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Docpickedme 4.5/1, Bagged a couple of Uttoxeter handicap chases last winter and left reappearance behind when resuming winning ways in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle in November. Raised 6 lb for that and will require a career best to follow up. | |||
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 +63%)Pileon |
4.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pileon 4.5/1, Talented performer when on-song, as he proved when scoring at Sandown and going close at Cheltenham last term. Yet to fire for new yard this time round but latest Ffos Las fifth was a slight step back in right direction and he's well treated if he can build on that. | |||
3rd (3)  (1/1 +75%)Silver Flyer |
1/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Silver Flyer 1/1, Unexposed sort who made it third time lucky in handicaps when staying on to lead close home over C&D in December. Put up 4 lb but there could easily be more to come. | |||
|F| (2)  (3.2/1 +77%)Romeo Brown |
3.2/1(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Romeo Brown 3.2/1, Proved better than ever to spring a 50/1 surprise in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree in December. Ran out with just under a circuit to go at Huntingdon latest but he's been nothing but genuine in his career and that will likely prove an aberration. |

1st (3)  (2/1 +67%)Gift Of Raaj |
2/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gift Of Raaj 2/1, Fair handicapper on Flat who showed aptitude for hurdling at the first attempt despite coming to it late in his career when third in Wetherby maiden (16f, soft) last month. Looks the main threat to the favourite. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.38/1 +87%)Spirit Of Regulus |
1.38/1(+87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spirit Of Regulus 1.38/1, Walk In The Park gelding who displayed ability in a Bangor bumper last April and overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdles debut at Sedgefield. Well held in the race Hullnback won at Haydock (15.6f) last time and faces another struggle under a penalty. | |||
3rd (5)  (2.25/1 +96%)Summergrounds |
2.25/1(+96%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Summergrounds 2.25/1, Showed fair form when reaching the frame all 3 starts in bumpers and having had a breathing op, was given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 10 months off when well held over C&D last month. Better anticipated with that under his belt. | |||
4th (4)  (28/1 +72%)Rocket Robbo |
28/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rocket Robbo 28/1, Poor in bumpers and has shown little in a pair of novice hurdles. Easily opposed. |

1st (6)  (1.38/1 +31%)Heroique De Maulde |
1.38/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Heroique De Maulde 1.38/1, Dual chase winner in France last autumn and positive start on these shores following 12 months off when going close at Newcastle (2½m, good) in November. Again performed well when third over the same C&D on Boxing Day (since undergone a wind op) and this 6-y-o is a big player. | |||
2nd (4)  (4/1 +20%)Tupelo Mississippi |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tupelo Mississippi 4/1, Dual bumper/maiden hurdle winner who produced arguably his best effort yet over fences when second to Git Maker in a 4-runner Catterick handicap on New Year's Day. Not so good when a well-held fourth behind the same rival (again at Catterick) next time, though. | |||
3rd (8)  (3/1 +45%)Croagh Patrick |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Croagh Patrick 3/1, Back-to-back winner of handicap chases last spring and returned to form following a couple of tame efforts when third of 11 over 3m here recently. Down another 1 lb, while both this drop back in trip and the drying ground are positive factors, so there's certainly cause for optimism. | |||
4th (5)  (9/1 +18%)Fanzio |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fanzio 9/1, Has fallen a long way in the weights since his latest success in a handicap chase at Perth back in April 2021 (now 17 lb below that winning mark) but there are far more bad runs than good ones on his recent record. | |||
|U| (3)  (6.5/1 +19%)On Springs |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) On Springs 6.5/1, Not entirely straightforward but thrived last summer, winning 4 of his 5 starts after returning from a break in June. However, this season's efforts have not been particularly inspiring and he could probably do with more respite from the assessor. |

1st (3)  (1.62/1 -62%)Queens Rock |
1.62/1(-62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Queens Rock 1.62/1, Runner-up only start in Irish points and off the mark at second attempt under Rules (hurdling debut). Disappointing at Wetherby next time but remains with potential after a breathing operation. | |||
2nd (6)  (3.5/1 +22%)Maid On The Moon |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Maid On The Moon 3.5/1, Scored at Huntindon in March. Best effort in handicaps this term when third there in December and shaped as if still in form next time. One to consider. | |||
3rd (5)  (14/1 +36%)Jersey Lady |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jersey Lady 14/1, Produced a career best to narrowly score at Ffos Las in April and backed that up when 5 lengths second over 21f at Warwick. Disappointing both subsequent starts, though, including after 5 months off at Exeter in November. | |||
4th (2)  (6.5/1 +35%)Malina Jamila |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Malina Jamila 6.5/1, Listed bumper winner and made a successful debut over hurdles in workmanlike fashion back there in May. Runner-up later that month but failed to progress when down the field in handicap at Exeter 3 months ago. Others make more appeal. | |||
5th (1)  (9/1 +25%)Latino Fling |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Latino Fling 9/1, Has landed 5 wins since joining this yard, the latest a 23f Bangor handicap off a 1 lb lower mark last summer. However, she has come up short since and looks vulnerable. | |||
6th (4)  (3/1 +14%)Nora The Xplorer |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nora The Xplorer 3/1, Pair of novice wins at up to 3m early last year and has mde the frame in handicaps on her last 3 starts, a respectable third over C&D a month ago. Not discounted. |

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.
