1st (14) (3.5/1 +50%) The Height Of Fame |
3.5/1(+50%) | (14) The Height Of Fame 3.5/1, Has improved upped in trip this season, landing back-to-back handicaps at Fontwell (21.8f) in May. Landed the hat-trick on return at Newton Abbot in September (dead-heated with her stablemate) and she's fancied to be in the shake-up once again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Martha Brae |
7.5/1(+6%) | (4) Martha Brae 7.5/1, Well backed when making winning return on yard debut in this corresponding event last year but hasn't really gone on since, Nevertheless, mark has dropped slightly and she may bounce back returned to this venue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (11/1 +21%) Bonnie Bresil |
11/1(+21%) | (16) Bonnie Bresil 11/1, Just modest form in bumpers/over hurdles so far but could prove a different proposition now moving into handicaps significantly upped in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/1 -13%) Whisky Express |
9/1(-13%) | (8) Whisky Express 9/1, Bumper debut winner who had plenty up her sleeve when scoring on her third start over hurdles at Newton Abbot back in March. Handicap debut today and she's a likely contender with further improvement on the cards. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (6.5/1 +7%) Ma Belle Noire |
6.5/1(+7%) | (13) Ma Belle Noire 6.5/1, Definite encouragement in pair of bumpers and similar story both starts over hurdles, runner-up at Chepstow (2m) in March. Opening mark looks fair on that evidence and returns with yard in good order. Big chance under talented 7-lb conditional. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 +29%) Mulberry Hill |
6/1(+29%) | (1) Mulberry Hill 6/1, Opened her account in a Worcester maiden at the end of last summer and doubled her tally on the back of a wind op at Carlisle last month, seemingly benefiting from being kept in closer touch than usual. 3 lb rise certainly not insurmountable so fancied to be in the mix. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (14/1 +13%) Flying Nun |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Flying Nun 14/1, Landed back-to-back wins at Fontwell and Taunton earlier this year and ran at least as well when second at Hereford in March. No surprise should she go well returning from 6 months off the track. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (33/1 -18%) Head And Heart |
33/1(-18%) | (11) Head And Heart 33/1, Runner-up on first outing over hurdles and ran close to that level at the second attempt when third in a Wincanton novice in February. Hood back on for this handicap debut/reappearance and will need to take a step forward. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 +40%) Russian Rumour |
12/1(+40%) | (7) Russian Rumour 12/1, Fair stayer on the Flat who made a winning start over hurdles at Lingfield (19.5f) last November. No progress in 3 subsequent starts but arrives on the back of a good second on the Flat at Newbury a fortnight ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (33/1 -65%) Sadie Hill |
33/1(-65%) | (15) Sadie Hill 33/1, Modest form at best in 3 hurdle starts for Katy Price but showed more than previously upped in trip on yard/handicap debut when runner-up at Fontwell (19.2f, good) just over a fortnight ago. Could build on that effort today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (8.5/1 +23%) Shirocco's Dream |
8.5/1(+23%) | (3) Shirocco's Dream 8.5/1, £260,000 purchase who has scored twice over hurdles and looked back on song when third of 5 at Wincanton back in March. However, she disappointed for the third time in her last 4 starts when last seen 6 months ago, but does return with yard firing in the winners. Interesting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (16/1 +0%) Malina Jamila |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Malina Jamila 16/1, Stepped up on previous efforts when 40/1 winner of a listed bumper at Huntingdon in December and made a successful debut over hurdles in workmanlike fashion back there in May. Failed to progress when a well-beaten second later that month and she makes return/handicap debut today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (33/1 -65%) Jersey Lady |
33/1(-65%) | (10) Jersey Lady 33/1, Produced a career-best to narrowly score at Ffos Las in April and backed that up when 5 lengths second over 21f at Warwick since. Not so good when last seen at Worcester 5 months ago so will need to hit the ground running to feature. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (22/1 -83%) Betty's Banjo |
22/1(-83%) | (2) Betty's Banjo 22/1, Won sole outing in Irish points and left hurdling debut form behind after 6 months off when running out an authoritative winner of an 8-runner novice at Uttoxeter (19.9f) back in May. Not suited by the drop in trip next time and she's one to look out for on return/handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (66/1 +0%) Lady Pacifico |
66/1(+0%) | (12) Lady Pacifico 66/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Leicester last November but took a step back in the right direction after a breathing op when sixth at Warwick last month. More required to land this. |

1st (3) (0.5/1 +0%) Thyme Hill |
0.5/1(+0%) | (3) Thyme Hill 0.5/1, Very smart hurdler who found only one too good in Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot and Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham last season. Rare lacklustre effort at Aintree on final outing but is very much the one to beat on chasing debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +29%) Flash Collonges |
5/1(+29%) | (2) Flash Collonges 5/1, Has yet to match his useful hurdles form in this sphere, producing a laboured effort on the back of another breathing operation when 5½ lengths second of 3 to Press Your Luck at Chepstow. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Press Your Luck |
3.5/1(+0%) | (1) Press Your Luck 3.5/1, Established himself as a useful hurdler when landing 17-runner Kempton handicap in March and made a winning return sent chasing in 3-runner novice at Chepstow (23.6f). Whipped round at the start and unseated his rider at Wetherby last week. Remains open to improvement. |

7/1(+13%) | (3) Masters Legacy 7/1, Useful over hurdles. Scored on return at Chepstow (2m) in 2021/22. Ended last season out of form but shaped well in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow on return. Chase debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (4.5/1 +63%) Sizable Sam |
4.5/1(+63%) | (8) Sizable Sam 4.5/1, Had a disappointing spell over fences last season but looked at least as good as ever back over hurdles after. Bit to prove back in this sphere on return. however. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4.5/1 +0%) Minella Buster |
4.5/1(+0%) | (10) Minella Buster 4.5/1, Irish point/hurdles winner who took a big step forward when making a winning chase bow at Kempton on return 3 weeks ago, his jumping improving through the race. 9 lb rise seems fair and open to further improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (9/1 -13%) St Erney |
9/1(-13%) | (11) St Erney 9/1, Made a winning return in this race last year under this rider off 5 lb lower. Below form last 2 starts 5 months apart but no surprise if he fared better here back from another break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 +10%) Neon Moon |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Neon Moon 9/1, Progressive over hurdles last season, recording his third win at Wincanton (21.4f, good) in April. Bred to make a chaser so is an interesting chasing debutant (winning Irish pointer). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (3.5/1 +13%) Killer Kane |
3.5/1(+13%) | (4) Killer Kane 3.5/1, Much improved since fitted with a tongue strap, landing handicaps at Kempton and Sandown. Far from disgraced in Grade 3 handicap at Aintree final start and remains low mileage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (8/1 -14%) Gats And Co |
8/1(-14%) | (9) Gats And Co 8/1, Really got his act together earlier this year, landing 4-timer. Possibly amiss when pulled up in more competitive event at Uttoxeter but back on track after a break when third at Chepstow last month. One to consider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 -125%) Pileon |
18/1(-125%) | (2) Pileon 18/1, Some good efforts over hurdles last season, winning at Sandown and only just denied at Cheltenham. Disappointed final start for Philip Hobbs and badly let down by jumping both starts in chases 2 years ago but potentially on a good mark on hurdles form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (25/1 -79%) When You're Ready |
25/1(-79%) | (5) When You're Ready 25/1, Generally progressive over hurdles and better for chase debut when scoring at this course (19.5f) in December. Ran well back there later that month but failed to complete both starts since (reportedly lame after falling heavily last time). Off 6 months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (40/1 +0%) Sizing Cusimano |
40/1(+0%) | (7) Sizing Cusimano 40/1, Better than ever when wide-margin winner over fences at Newton Abbot in May but gone backwards since, including over hurdles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (50/1 +0%) One More Fleurie |
50/1(+0%) | (1) One More Fleurie 50/1, Four-time winner at up to 3m in 2020/21 but failed to fire in 4 starts last term, albeit later found to have cracked a hoof when pulled up in Scottish Grand National final start. Starts the new campaign off a workable mark at least. |

1st (1) (3.5/1 -5%) Greaneteen |
3.5/1(-5%) | (1) Greaneteen 3.5/1, Made a winning return in this in 2020 but not as wound up when fourth 12 months ago. Went on to win 2 Grade 1s at Sandown later on in the season and his first main target is likely to be the Tingle Creek again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8.5/1 -13%) Dolos |
8.5/1(-13%) | (4) Dolos 8.5/1, Seems to save his best for Sandown these days, winning a handicap at the Scilly Isles meeting for the third time in February. Decent second at Warwick final start but needed reappearance last season and is 1 lb out of the weights. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (1.88/1 +16%) War Lord |
1.88/1(+16%) | (3) War Lord 1.88/1, Useful hurdler and much improved over fences last season, gaining third victory in a Lingfield novice (2m). Fourth in the Arkle at Cheltenham and second in Grade 1 at Aintree last 2 starts. This looks a good starting point. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1.4/1 +14%) Third Time Lucki |
1.4/1(+14%) | (2) Third Time Lucki 1.4/1, Third chase success when easily taking a Doncaster Grade 2 in January and best effort when second to Edwardstone in the Kingmaker at Warwick following month. Jumping let him down when third in Grade 1 at Ayr final start. Looks on a good mark back in a handicap on return. Tongue tied first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 +24%) Us And Them |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Us And Them 50/1, Smart handicap chaser at best but proved unreliable for Joseph O'Brien (just 1-23 over fences, though twice placed at the Cheltenham Festival). Let down by jumping both starts for this yard and is firmly up against it from 8 lb out of the handicap. |

3/1(+75%) | (7) Begin The Luck 3/1, Ended time with Caroline Bailey below form and hasn't fared much better in 2 outings for new yard this autumn. Dropped another 3 lb but need to see more before lending support. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (16/1 +0%) Testflight |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Testflight 16/1, Third in a bumper in June but beaten a long way on all other starts under Rules. More chance now handicapping but would need to see market support to consider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 +71%) Mini Yeats |
4/1(+71%) | (4) Mini Yeats 4/1, Promise when third in maiden/novice hurdles at the start of the year. Handicap debut effort at Fontwell in March was disappointing but he does return as an unexposed sort. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Man Of The Sea |
3.33/1(-11%) | (1) Man Of The Sea 3.33/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who also scored over hurdles on Jersey in July and landed a 2m Stratford handicap on his return to Britain last month. 2 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (66/1 -100%) Martha Burell |
66/1(-100%) | (12) Martha Burell 66/1, Well held in 3 maiden/novice hurdles at Newton Abbot this season but could do better now handicapping. Also has a tongue strap added. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(-78%) | (6) Uberman 16/1, Won a Lingfield handicap chase last season and ended his campaign with a pair of runner-up efforts over fences at Plumpton. Slightly lower mark back hurdling and could play a part if ready to roll. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
