1st (1)  (14/1 -100%)Burrows Park |
14/1(-100%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Burrows Park 14/1, One-time useful hurdler who produced his best effort for a while when landing 3m Chepstow handicap on his final start last season. Creditable second of 14 at Ludlow (21f) 3 weeks ago, although he was off the bridle a long way out. | |||
2nd (5)  (3.2/1 +47%)Lanspark |
3.2/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lanspark 3.2/1, Won around 3m at Chepstow and Plumpton last winter. Solid return to action when second at Chepstow in November but not in the same form when fifth back there since. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.2/1 +13%)Imperial Storm |
1.2/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Storm 1.2/1, Bumper winner in spring 2021 and better with each start over hurdles since returning from an absence, making a winning handicap debut over 3m at Wetherby last month. 5 lb rise may not stop him with further progress on the cards. | |||
4th (6)  (11/1 -144%)Fancy Your Chances |
11/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fancy Your Chances 11/1, Runner-up in the first of 3 bumpers last winter and placed in mares' maiden/novice hurdles this time round. Appeals as a likely improver now making a quick switch to handicap company. | |||
5th (3)  (4.5/1 +0%)Kepagge |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kepagge 4.5/1, Won bumper and novice hurdles on first 3 starts under Rules back in 2019/20. Hasn't kicked on in a light career since but latest Ffos Las third shows he's down to a mark he can be competitive from. | |||
|PU| (4)  (11/1 +45%)Danny Whizzbang |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Danny Whizzbang 11/1, Down in the weights when off mark for this yard in chase at Huntingdon in April. Not disgraced in a Market Rasen hurdle in May but well held back chasing in early-summer. Has first outing for 7 months here. |

2.5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blackjack Magic 2.5/1, Dual winner over hurdles for Jack Barber last term. Made a promising chasing/stable debut when second of nine in Ffos Las novice (2m4f) in November so needs considering now up in trip and fitted with tongue tie. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.5/1 +20%)Rose Of Arcadia |
1.5/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rose Of Arcadia 1.5/1, Easy winner of a couple of points in the spring and readily got off the mark in this sphere in 3m2f Fontwell handicap 35 days ago. Weighted to go in again with that form having been franked. | |||

3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Anglers Crag 3/1, Point winner who made a winning start for this yard in Leicester novice hurdle in February. Running a good first race over fences when fell 3 out over C&D nine days ago. Can bounce back. | |||
4th (1)  (7.5/1 +25%)Eminent Poet |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eminent Poet 7.5/1, Useful staying hurdler at his best but he was well below that form on his chasing debut at Ludlow in May and when returned to hurdles in Wincanton handicap 15 days ago. Yard is going well so no surprise to see him bounce back. |

2nd (9)  (1.1/1 +56%)The Imposter |
1.1/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Imposter 1.1/1, On the up and he completed his hat-trick with stylish success in 19-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, 5/2) 14 days ago. Up another 5 lb but leading claims again. | |||
3rd (12)  (6/1 +29%)Bellamy's Grey |
6/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Bellamy's Grey 6/1, Landed this event 12 months ago but never-dangerous fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at this C&D (soft) 51 days ago. Unreliable type. | |||
4th (1)  (22/1 -120%)Ben Bulben |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ben Bulben 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now. | |||
5th (18)  (66/1 -32%)Elfride |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Elfride 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for her handicap debut with lots to find on form. | |||
6th (14)  (8/1 +6%)Flutiste |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Flutiste 8/1, Remains a maiden after 16 runs and below-form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 51 days ago. Blinkers go back on with more needed. | |||
7th (7)  (16/1 -88%)Little Else |
16/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Little Else 16/1, Fair winner in bumpers but off 21 months and yet to hit top form at Hereford and Exeter this winter. May still do better now going into handicaps up in trip. | |||
8th (19)  (150/1 +0%)Tis But A Scratch |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (19) Tis But A Scratch 150/1, Limited sort who makes no appeal from 6 lb out of the weights. | |||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 +0%)If Karl's Berg Did |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) If Karl's Berg Did 12/1, Off 17 months before posting encouraging third of 7 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Leicester (15.5f, soft) 44 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and interesting if building on that comeback run. | |||
|PU| (5)  (16/1 +52%)Gio's Girl |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gio's Girl 16/1, Winning pointer who showed modest form over hurdles when last seen out 2 years ago. Has her fitness to prove. | |||
|PU| (17)  (22/1 +12%)Foillmore |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Foillmore 22/1, Poor maiden but he arrives on the back of three respectable efforts at Newton Abbot. More is needed though from 2 lb out of the handicap. | |||
|PU| (16)  (28/1 -273%)Galactic Power |
28/1(-273%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Galactic Power 28/1, Not successful since 2018 but this veteran got back on track in a first-time visor when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, 33/1) 33 days ago. Needs to back it up now. | |||
|PU| (2)  (33/1 -83%)Holerday Ridge |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Holerday Ridge 33/1, Dual winner last season who was a good third in handicap at Uttoxeter in June. Not quite in the same form since and unseated rider 1st in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) 42 days ago. More needed. | |||
|PU| (10)  (50/1 -213%)Sharp Note |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sharp Note 50/1, Made a winning start in this sphere in 2m novice at Hereford in October but well below par at Newbury and Uttoxeter since. This step into handicap company needs to spark a big improvement. | |||
|RO| (11)  (66/1 -136%)Sign Of War |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sign Of War 66/1, Fair winning hurdler but off 14 months since below-par sixth in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f). Others appeal more on this occasion. |

1st (4)  (1.2/1 +31%)Hermes Du Gouet |
1.2/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hermes Du Gouet 1.2/1, Point winner who was sent off favourite for both of his starts in bumpers last winter, finishing runner-up on both occasions. Not at that level both starts over hurdles at up to 20.5f but drop in trip could be a good move and this isn't a strong race. | |||
2nd (5)  (1.2/1 -94%)Ioupy Collonges |
1.2/1(-94%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ioupy Collonges 1.2/1, €40,000 3-y-o, 60,000 gns 4-y-o, Kitkou gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Guguss Collonges. Placed both starts in points in May and positively ridden when landing a bumper at Hereford in November. This looks a good opening switched to hurdling. | |||
3rd (2)  (40/1 +39%)Big Blue Moon |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Big Blue Moon 40/1, Showed a bit in a Chepstow bumper on November debut but well held sent hurdling at Hereford. | |||

40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Whenitrainsitpours 40/1, Third in a point but little to get excited about under Rules so far. | |||
5th (7)  (18/1 -13%)Mumbles |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mumbles 18/1, €42,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam 2½m-3m chase winner. In need of the experience starting out at Ffos Las in November. Capable of better. | |||
6th (10)  (150/1 -50%)Can You See Her |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Can You See Her 150/1, Telescope mare was placed sole start between the flags but was never a factor on hurdles debut here last week (18.5f). | |||
7th (6)  (8.5/1 +15%)Mikhailovich |
8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mikhailovich 8.5/1, Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Royal Vacation out of 2m hurdle winner Summer Break, also 9f-1¼m winner on Flat. Stuck to his task when third of 7 in a Chepstow bumper in April. Had a wind op after and pulled up on hurdles debut 7 months later. | |||
8th (8)  (50/1 +0%)Steel My Thunder |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Steel My Thunder 50/1, €8,500 Zambezi Sun half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Classical Art. Big price and merely hinted at ability on debut over C&D in November. | |||
9th (1)  (33/1 +34%)Belgarum |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Belgarum 33/1, Limited impact in a bumper/novice hurdle. | |||
|PU| (3)  (250/1 -67%)Chairman Fitz |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chairman Fitz 250/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¾m) Fletchers Flyer. Third sole start in points but no impact under Rules. |

3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Raddon Top 3/1, Landed hat-trick of handicap hurdles here last term and promising chase debut when third over C&D 9 days ago, sticking to the task. More to come and looks a big player from the same mark. | |||
2nd (3)  (7/1 -27%)New Age Dawning |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) New Age Dawning 7/1, Winner of a bumper/novice hurdle in 2019. Resumed winning ways in 3-runner handicap chase in January 2022 and while he's been restricted to just 3 races since, last month's runner-up effort back at Ffos Las was a good one. | |||
3rd (2)  (7.5/1 -7%)Classic Ben |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Classic Ben 7.5/1, Losing run is mounting up but he did end last term with pair of runners-up efforts over 30.7f here and returned with a good third at Uttoxeter (26f) in November. However, the assessor probably has him about right. | |||
4th (7)  (6.5/1 +35%)Don Herbager |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Don Herbager 6.5/1, C&D winner who relished the step up in trip when recording a fourth success over fences at Bangor (29.6f) in February, never stronger than at the finish. Disappointing return to action behind Favori de Sivola here last month. | |||
5th (1)  (5.5/1 -57%)Equus Dreamer |
5.5/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Equus Dreamer 5.5/1, Back on track in first-time cheekpieces on the back of a wind op when second of 7 at Carlisle in February (24.5f). Sound return from 9 months off when third over that C&D and he's not yet exposed. | |||
6th (8)  (18/1 -13%)Premiumaccess |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Premiumaccess 18/1, Posted best effort for some time when second of 11 in handicap chase at Fontwell (27.7f) in November. Unseated rider before the race took shape at Wincanton on Boxing Day. | |||
7th (4)  (4/1 +0%)Favori De Sivola |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Favori De Sivola 4/1, Represents in-form yard and he gained fifth chase win of his career over 30.7f here last month. Up 5 lb and down in trip but likely to give it another good go. | |||
|PU| (5)  (8/1 +20%)Eclair Mag |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Eclair Mag 8/1, Ex-French recruit who sprung a surprise on British debut in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen in January 2021. Record has been mixed since, still looking short of a change of pace in ref-fitted headgear at Bangor in November. |

2nd (7)  (14/1 -17%)Global Agreement |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Global Agreement 14/1, Won 3 times last season, latest at Carlisle in February. However, produced another decidedly laboured effort retried in cheekpiece at Cartmel when last seen in June. Needs to bounce back after 7 months off, though has won fresh before. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.5/1 +42%)Lock Out |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lock Out 3.5/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and supplemented his bumper win with plenty in hand over 2 rivals on Newbury hurdles debut. Found life much tougher under a penalty at Kempton and shaped as if need of a step up in trip on his Lingfield handicap debut last time. Still early days. | |||
4th (6)  (3.33/1 -67%)Fanfaron Dino |
3.33/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fanfaron Dino 3.33/1, Second handicap hurdle success when seeing off 9 rivals at Fontwell in March and returned with a good second over C&D (17f, soft) last month, edged out final 100 yds. Nudged up 3 lb but remains of interest. | |||
5th (1)  (4.5/1 -13%)Mack The Man |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mack The Man 4.5/1, C&D winner who stepped up on his reappearance after another 9 weeks off when fourth of 9 in Fontwell handicap (17.7f, soft) 15 days ago. More needed but his mark has eased further. | |||
|F| (2)  (6/1 +50%)Gingerbred |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gingerbred 6/1, Maiden pointer who showed a bit more than previously when fifth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 40/1) 19 days ago, plugging on. Makes handicap debut and not ruled out. |

2/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pentire Head 2/1, €145,000 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Brother to temperamental but useful hurdler/chaser Mount Mews. Showed ability when third of 11 in Chepstow bumper (16f, good to firm) on NH debut in October and can be expected to improve on that. | |||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +33%)Kayf Dancer |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kayf Dancer 4/1, Kayf Tara gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Springwell Bay, Worth a second look in the market on debut. | |||
4th (4)  (12/1 -9%)King Of Brazil |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Of Brazil 12/1, Held back by inexperience when fifth of 14 in bumper (4/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) on NH debut 22 months ago. Not seen since and market may prove best guide to claims on return for new yard. | |||
5th (6)  (7.5/1 +17%)Starvidov |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Starvidov 7.5/1, £15,000 3-y-o, Davidoff gelding. Half-brother to 7.5f winner in France Provision.

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.
