3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(3) Dal Horrisgle 3.5/1, Useful middle-distance stayer for William Haggas. Didn't get near that level starting out in this sphere when third to Bravemansgame at Exeter but he showed aptitude for the job and should improve.

18
18/1(-140%)
(12) Raven Court 18/1, Went the wrong way after a good start in bumpers but is bred to make a jumper and shaped promisingly when third in a 2m Kempton novice a year ago. Open to improvement for new yard.

200/1(-150%)
(11) Pour Joie 200/1, Warwick bumper winner in 2019. Well held in 3 Flat runs later that year and showed nothing after 12 months off when pulled up on recent hurdle debut at Huntingdon.

6
6/1(+70%)
(8) Solar Impulse 6/1, Confirmed promise of return when capitalising on 2 lb lower mark at Southwell (15.8f) in August but recent efforts suggest he's gone off the boil.

4
4/1(-14%)

6.5/1(+13%)

9
9/1(+10%)
(8) Native Fighter 9/1, Ended last year on the up over hurdles and evidently still improving judged on latest win at Perth in August. 4 lb rise perfectly fair (runner-up won since) and drop to 2m shouldn't be an issue.

10
10/1(+9%)
(1) Caius Marcius 10/1, Prolific over fences in 2019 and posted a useful effort over hurdles when runner-up at Southwell in July. Has to cast aside a lesser effort at Ascot, albeit that was a better race.

22
22/1(-57%)
(12) Shantou Sunset 22/1, Bumper winner who showed improved form to get off the mark in Market Rasen handicap (20.5f) in July. Nothing wrong with a brace of placed efforts this autumn. Unseated latest.

9
9/1(-170%)

6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(8) Rubytwo 6.5/1, Finally got off mark over hurdles in 2½m Newcastle maiden in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 29 days ago. Step up to 3m well worth exploring and this consistent sort ought to figure again.

10
10/1(-43%)
(7) She's Gina 10/1, Made a sound start for Dan Skelton when third of 8 at Taunton (19f) a month ago. Big player if able to build on that now stepping up to 3m for the first time.

4
4/1(+0%)
(11) Belatrix Lestrange 4/1, Improved when stepped up to 3m on her last 2 starts, winning a pair of Ludlow handicaps, finding extra when headed latterly. Willing attitude should continue to hold her in good stead.

6
6/1(+45%)
(4) Methag 6/1, Dual 20f winner last season and runner-up on 2 of her last 3 starts. Likely to be in the shake-up if her stamina holds now moving up to 3m.

10
10/1(+0%)

3.33
3.33/1(+26%)
(1) House Island 3.33/1, Listed bumper winner/useful hurdler and didn't need to improve on his debut effort over fences to get off the mark at Ludlow 19 days ago, all out. Player with this step up in trip sure to suit.

3.33
3.33/1(+0%)
(3) Glorious Zoff 3.33/1, Looked a natural hurdler as he made a winning start at Sligo last month. Just second of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 37 days ago but could still do better.
2
4th (2) (16/1 -14%) Cloud Thunder
16
16/1(-14%)

16
16/1(+20%)
(5) Mistersister 16/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in juvenile hurdles in France but he'll need to improve on that if he's to make a serious impact on stable/British debut.

6.5
6.5/1(+13%)

5
5/1(+0%)
(8) Jersey Bean 5/1, Blinkered and thriving over fences this term, following up Newton Abbot win with ready success at Exeter. Hit with 10 lb rise but useful over hurdles so not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.

2
2/1(+33%)
(2) Boldmere 2/1, Wide-margin winner of first 2 chases last term, including over C&D, and signalled he's ready to go in again when fading fourth in 3m Bangor handicap last time. Dropped handy 2 lb so big player.

12
12/1(+57%)

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.
