5/1(-43%) | (2) Kodi Dancer 5/1, 6/1, career best when winning 7-runner nursery at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago. 6f should suit. 6 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3.33/1(+17%) | (8) Fortuitous Star 3.33/1, Runner-up at Catterick (5f) and Hamilton (6f) since switching to nurseries. Likely to be in the thick of things again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7th (5) (4/1 -33%) Wholetthedogsout |
4/1(-33%) | (5) Wholetthedogsout 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in novice at Newbury (7f, good) 15 days ago. Stable has been among the nursery winners. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting under Adam Kirby. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 +13%) Jam Nation |

20/1(-25%) | (10) Streetwise Girl 20/1, Poor form. Bit better when third of 5 in nursery at Nottingham (6f, good, 16/1) 15 days ago but it was a weak race. Cheekpieces back on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3rd (5) (11/1 -10%) Glory Hallelujah |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Glory Hallelujah 11/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. 11/2 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Consistency hasn't been his strong suit so far so he's not sure to be in the same form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 -133%) Sheikh Maz Mahood |
14/1(-133%) | (7) Sheikh Maz Mahood 14/1, 7/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 33 days ago. Put up 7 lb but he's lightly raced and may have more to give. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(+39%) | (4) Lotus Rose 11/1, Latest win at Redcar in June. Last of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Haydock (5f, good) since. Needs to get back to the Redcar form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (5/1 +50%) Prodigious Blue |
5/1(+50%) | (2) Prodigious Blue 5/1, Winner at Redcar in June. Not at best when sixth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago but still rates one of the more likely types in this less competitive affair. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (4/1 +43%) Gabriella's Spirit |
4/1(+43%) | (8) Gabriella's Spirit 4/1, Visored first time, good second of 9 in maiden at this course (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 35 days ago. Player if she can reproduce that form back in a handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

18/1(-50%) | (10) Tilsworth Ony Ta 18/1, 7/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Windsor (5f, firm) 19 days ago, suited by strong pace. Effectively 8 lb higher now and circumstances aren't sure to be as favourable this time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (3.5/1 -86%) Sherdil |
3.5/1(-86%) | (3) Sherdil 3.5/1, On the up for new yard with pair of 5f wins at Beverley in recent weeks. Even a 10 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him completing a hat-trick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (12/1 +40%) Apache Star |
12/1(+40%) | (6) Apache Star 12/1, Close third at Musselburgh (5f) last month but only seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) since. Needs to put his best foot forwward. |

3rd (4) (0.83/1 +40%) Laatansa |
0.83/1(+40%) | (4) Laatansa 0.83/1, Son of New Bay who makes plenty of appeal on paper and offered definite promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden company for Ed Dunlop last term. Changed hands for 250,000 gns/gelded thereafter and highly likely there's more to come as a 3-y-o. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/1 -69%) Pretty Bouquet |
11/1(-69%) | (2) Pretty Bouquet 11/1, Champs Elysees filly who showed promise on debut and built on that when landing 9-runner Carlisle maiden (11f, soft) 4 weeks ago, produced to lead over 2f out and ridden out. Likely she can progress further. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2nd (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Mojomaker |
4.5/1(+18%) | (1) Mojomaker 4.5/1, 3/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Best effort of the campaign came over C&D in April and with cheekpieces fitted, it would come as no surprise to see him go well. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

6.5/1(+19%) | (3) Key Look 6.5/1, Hadn't been shaping up badly but wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 11/2) 24 days ago, not ideally placed after very slowly away. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3/1 +0%) Back From Dubai |
3/1(+0%) | (4) Back From Dubai 3/1, Confirmed previous promise to gain a first win on turf in 11-runner handicap at this course (8f, firm, 14/1) 9 days ago, edging ahead over 1f out and all out to hold on.

8/1(+50%) | (6) Mick Mchugh 8/1, 18/1, wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, hampered final 1f. Drops further in the weights and Adam Kirby on board for the first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 -50%) Kodebreaker |
12/1(-50%) | (8) Kodebreaker 12/1, Winner at Redcar in May. 7/2, proved to be a disappointment when ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 36 days ago, possibly unsuited by the surface. One to look out for back on turf after a breathing operation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (28/1 -12%) Van Zant |
28/1(-12%) | (10) Van Zant 28/1, Showed his first meaningful form when fifth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Task is building on that effort here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8.5/1(+66%) | (2) Flavius Titus 8.5/1, C&D winner back in 2018 but hasn't tasted success for a long time. Little to recommend on both outings this year so easy to look elsewhere despite a tumbling mark. Had a wind op since last seen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(-45%) | (1) Spice Store 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago, keeping on late after hampered on more than one occasion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

40/1(+39%) | (13) Miss Trixie 40/1, 50/1, offered little after 5 months off when tenth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft), slowly away. Off a further 4 months so she looks an easy swerve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (50/1 +0%) Caramello |
50/1(+0%) | (14) Caramello 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good, 50/1) 37 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Others preferred. |

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.
