1st (2)  (8/1 +0%)Goodnight Charlie |
8/1(+0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Goodnight Charlie 8/1, Returned to form just 4 days on from a poor run when third in 26f Cheltenham handicap chase in April. Ran poorly at Warwick the following month but could bounce back on this return to action. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -9%)Summit Like Herbie |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Summit Like Herbie 3/1, Hard ride but bounced back to form to take advantage of a drop in the weights in 9-runner handicap chase (15/2) at Doncaster (26f) 35 days ago, kept up to work. Not sure to be in same form. | |||
3rd (5)  (7/1 +42%)Sackett |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sackett 7/1, Fairly useful chaser at best who regained winning thread here (3m) in March. However, enthusiasm for the game has completely disappeared judged on this season's efforts. Blinkers on for 1st time. | |||
|F| (6)  (1.62/1 +7%)Powerful Position |
1.62/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Powerful Position 1.62/1, Point winner who left previous Rules form well behind when landing a 23.8f handicap chase at Ffos Las in November. Unseated at the seventh there next time so retains potential. Cheekpieces on. | |||
|PU| (3)  (5/1 -25%)Primal Focus |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Primal Focus 5/1, Cashed in on a much-reduced mark with victory in 9-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, driven out. Cheekpieces back on and solid claims if in the same form. | |||
|PU| (7)  (16/1 +36%)Shimba Hills |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shimba Hills 16/1, Maiden chaser who offered little on the back of a breathing operation/9 months off in a handicap hurdle at Worcester in November. Easy enough to look elsewhere. | |||
|PU| (4)  (18/1 -50%)Clondaw Bisto |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Clondaw Bisto 18/1, Temperamental sort who won this corresponding event in 2020 but has been pulled up both starts this season. |

5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) River Tyne 5/1, Irish point winner. Limited impact in bumper/sole hurdle start for Dan Skelton during 2020 but some promise to glean from her effort in a mares' novice on belated return last month. May build on that. | |||
3rd (7)  (25/1 +38%)Getbazoutofhere |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getbazoutofhere 25/1, Has shown a bit in a bumper/pair of novice hurdles but rates a likely type for low-grade handicaps in this sphere. | |||
4th (4)  (3.5/1 -40%)Menin Gate |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Menin Gate 3.5/1, Three-time winner on the Flat at up to 1½m. Showed promise when third in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle (15.7f) last month, headed 2 out and fading. Entitled to do better and this sharper test a plus. | |||

40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Scattercash 40/1, Mahler mare. Won sole start in points (Mar 2020) but easy to back and offered little on belated return/hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (22f) last month. | |||
6th (1)  (11/1 -38%)Heron Creek |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Heron Creek 11/1, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler Caracci Apache. Third only start in Irish points but only modest form at best in a couple of bumpers this winter. Hurdles debut. | |||

80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Maykir 80/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler The Ice Factor (2m winner, by Iceman), stayed 2½m, and bumper winner Dome Run (by Domedriver). Modest on Flat, best form at 1m, below form last 3 starts. | |||
8th (5)  (200/1 -60%)Stinggrey |

2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jony Max 2/1, Offered little over hurdles but much more like it over fences, runner-up twice prior to scoring at Wincanton last month. Made a couple of mistakes when third here latest but it was still a decent run. | |||
3rd (7)  (14/1 +58%)Realms Of Fire |
14/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Realms Of Fire 14/1, Poor hurdler but did open hs account at Southwell (3m) in May. Offered little switched to fences last twice and hard to fancy from 7 lb out of the weights. | |||

9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ocean Voyage 9/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland. Left chase debut effort well behind when runner-up at Worcester in April, but her record is decidedly patchy and she's run poorly on all 3 outings this term. | |||
5th (3)  (4.5/1 +18%)Maliboo |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Maliboo 4.5/1, Career best when winning easily 6-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (2½m) in April. Creditable third in handicap here in October but ran poorly at Exeter since. Chase debut. | |||

9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bolt N Brown 9/1, Has just a juvenile hurdle win to her name and can race lazily but she was largely consistent in handicap hurdles. Switches to fences back from 5 months off. | |||
|PU| (6)  (25/1 +38%)Scottsdale |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scottsdale 25/1, Runner-up on second chase start at Uttoxeter in June, but his jumping often lets him down over fences, and he failed to complete again at Wetherby on Boxing Day. |

4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Here Comes Henry 4/1, Catching the eye in maiden/novice hurdles around this trip that have thrown up winners, not given a hard time at Uttoxeter latest. More to come now handicapping and most interesting. | |||
2nd (4)  (33/1 -32%)Small Bad Bob |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Small Bad Bob 33/1, Newton Abbot novice winner who showed improved form to follow up in a Fontwell handicap (17.7f) in October. Well held in handicaps last 3 starts, though. Back up in distance here. | |||
3rd (6)  (7/1 -155%)Ray's The One |
7/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ray's The One 7/1, Really motoring, following up first Flat success with victory in 17.7f Fontwell handicap hurdle in the mud, keeping on well from stablemate who won himself on Boxing Day. Cheekpieces on. Player. | |||

22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) San Pedro 22/1, Irish Flat winner who is proving inconsistent without success over hurdles, pulled up at Exeter last time after a good second at Lingfield. Will find easier assignments. | |||

25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ferrobin 25/1, Proving hard to catch right, winning at Ludlow (21f) under this rider before a tame display in a stronger race at Cheltenham (blinkered). Quickly dropped back 5 lb with old cheekpieces re-applied. | |||

9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Thunderstruck 9/1, Was ridden too aggressively and didn't jump at all well at Market Rasen 7 weeks ago but that is proving to be a good race and he'd previously been on the up. Interesting under 10 lb conditional. |

2nd (4)  (14/1 +0%)Wildkatze |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wildkatze 14/1, Modest form in a hurdle run when trained in France and hasn't offered much in 4 chase starts for this stable, well held on Plumpton return last month. | |||

2.75/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Leave My Alone 2.75/1, Course winner. Bit below form when second on Newton Abbot return in October but better expected here. | |||

5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Furia D'Oudairies 5/1, Modest maiden hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when third in novice handicap chase at Leicester 17 days ago. That was only her second chase start and this longer trip may suit. | |||

20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Message To Martha 20/1, Has offered little over hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to chasing/handicapping brings about improvement. 5 lb out of the handicap. |

2nd (2)  (2.75/1 +8%)Dynamite Kentucky |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dynamite Kentucky 2.75/1, Bumper winner who made a positive start over hurdles when second in 2m maiden here in May. No improvement on last month's handicap debut over 20.7f, though, and now upped in trip/tried in cheekpieces. | |||

12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tom Creen 12/1, Maiden pointer and no real promise so far over hurdles. Moving up in trip for this handicap debut probably won't hurt, but a big step forward is needed in the first-time cheekpieces. | |||
4th (1)  (9/1 -64%)The Knot Is Tied |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Knot Is Tied 9/1, Dotted up over 2½m here in October and followed that with a solid effort in defeat at Aintree. However, poor efforts the last twice and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers working the oracle. | |||

2.75/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Henschke 2.75/1, Showed benefit of breathing operation when posting a career-best second of 11 at Fontwell (21.7f) last time. 4 lb rise tolerable and claims here if this step up in trip proves to be in his favour. | |||

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.
