8/1(+6%) | (9) Moroder 8/1, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, finding some improvement when third of 19 on Warwick handicap debut (21f) final outing last term. Didn't take to chasing but respected back over hurdles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th (5) (5/1 +0%) Delgany Monarch |
5/1(+0%) | (5) Delgany Monarch 5/1, Third in a point and encouragement when filling the same position in a pair of novice hurdles at up to 20.5f. Entitled to be in the shake up again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

12/1(+25%) | (8) Investment Manager 12/1, €70,000 Nathaniel gelding. Dam 11f-13f winner. Modest in bumpers and needed the experience on Taunton hurdle debut last month. Significantly up in trip, and should do better in time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (200/1 -60%) Mr Scaff |
200/1(-60%) | (10) Mr Scaff 200/1, Modest maiden on Flat and let down by jumping both starts over hurdles 3 years apart. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1st (1) (1.5/1 +50%) Gustavian |
1.5/1(+50%) | (1) Gustavian 1.5/1, Winner of an Exeter maiden on hurdling debut this time last year and runner-up on all 3 subsequent outings. Latest effort in handicap at Chepstow looks like solid form, so makes plenty of appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (10/1 -67%) Hasankey |
10/1(-67%) | (5) Hasankey 10/1, Has slipped to a handy mark and looked back in top form when third having been up with a strong pace at Leicester 46 days ago. One to note with Ben Jones taking over. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Neff |
4.5/1(+36%) | (2) Neff 4.5/1, C&D winner but arrives on back of disappointing last of 6 in 2m handicap hurdle at Wincanton 42 days ago. Well treated but he needs to bounce back in first-time visor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 +0%) Zafar |
18/1(+0%) | (3) Zafar 18/1, Fairly useful Flat maiden who showed fair form in this sphere in 2018/19. Probably needed the run back from a long absence in handicap at Taunton last month, but something to prove nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 -11%) Jaisalmer |
20/1(-11%) | (6) Jaisalmer 20/1, Back to winning ways in 2m Warwick handicap hurdle a year ago but unable to make an impact on both subsequent outings. Reappearance may have been needed, however, and cheekpieces tried now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/1 -80%) Bard Of Brittany |
9/1(-80%) | (9) Bard Of Brittany 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler who ran right up to his best when second at Plumpton on reappearance, benefiting from a well-run race. Might improve for the run, so he's a definite player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (10/1 -25%) Amelia's Dance |
10/1(-25%) | (11) Amelia's Dance 10/1, Fair hurdler who was tried in a hood when below-form third in 2m handicap at Wincanton 19 days ago. Claims if able to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (50/1 -127%) Olympic Honour |
50/1(-127%) | (7) Olympic Honour 50/1, Signed off last season on a winning note but just one creditable effort to his name from 3 outings this season. Needs to bounce back after a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (50/1 -52%) Perfect Predator |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Perfect Predator 50/1, Runner-up on 5 of his 7 hurdles starts for Alan King but handicap mark looks too high and he made inauspicious start for new yard at Market Rasen recently. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (8.5/1 -31%) Hollywood Ken |
8.5/1(-31%) | (10) Hollywood Ken 8.5/1, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 9 in 2m handicap hurdle at Wincanton 30 days ago. Not totally discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (16/1 -88%) Furkash |
16/1(-88%) | (4) Furkash 16/1, Al Namix gelding who confirmed hurdles debut promise when scoring over C&D in November. Disappointing in novice at Wincanton next time but opening mark seems reasonable. |

1st (4) (0.5/1 +12%) Umbrigado |
0.5/1(+12%) | (4) Umbrigado 0.5/1, Useful hurdler who showed aptitude for chasing when runner-up in a 3-runner Uttoxeter maiden in December. Very much the type to progress and boasts leading claims with cheekpieces back on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1.75/1 -27%) Up The Straight |
1.75/1(-27%) | (5) Up The Straight 1.75/1, Useful hurdler. No match for smart Chantry House on his Ascot chase debut (19f) in November but it was a satisfactory start over fences. Hampered and unseated next time, so remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (66/1 +34%) Born At Midnight |
66/1(+34%) | (2) Born At Midnight 66/1, Merely hinted at ability in a bumper on debut then well held on completed start over hurdles. Hard to make any sort of case for now chasing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (66/1 +18%) Staithes |
66/1(+18%) | (3) Staithes 66/1, Point winner who didn't cut much ice in a bumper/novice hurdle for Nicky Henderson and now debuts for a much smaller yard switched to fences. Makes no appeal. |

1st (1) (2.25/1 +36%) Lily The Pink |
2.25/1(+36%) | (1) Lily The Pink 2.25/1, Opened hurdles account from a 12 lb lower mark at Exeter (16.8f) last winter and creditable efforts in defeat all 3 starts since. Possible 23f stretched her latest and this will prove more suitable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6/1 +70%) Kenny George |
6/1(+70%) | (7) Kenny George 6/1, C&D winner from 5 lb higher mark last season who, fit from the Flat failed to make an impact in a Chepstow handicap hurdle (19.5f) in November. Given a break since but others make more appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (14/1 -87%) Jaunty Soria |
14/1(-87%) | (5) Jaunty Soria 14/1, First run since leaving Brian Eckley when landing a C&D novice hurdle in June 2019, travelling noticeably well. Further progress not ruled out for this yard for all her subsequent absence is a worry. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4.5/1 +31%) Certainly Red |
4.5/1(+31%) | (3) Certainly Red 4.5/1, Remains without a win but in good form this term, fifth of 10 in 3m handicap (4/1) at Ascot last time. Mark remains unchanged but he could do with seeing his race out better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (25/1 -257%) Rossderrin |
25/1(-257%) | (6) Rossderrin 25/1, Modest maiden over hurdles/fences for J. P. Dempsey in Ireland and he was pulled up on each of his last 2 starts back in the summer. Market should prove a useful guide starting out for new yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (66/1 -100%) Touch Tight |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Touch Tight 66/1, Winning pointer who showed definite promise on second of 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles late last year. Will hold more chance now handicapping and worth a check in the betting for clues. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (1.75/1 -7%) Cristal Spirit |
1.75/1(-7%) | (2) Cristal Spirit 1.75/1, Fair hurdler who capitalised on reduced mark to land a gamble at Fontwell last month. Followed up with a career best at Plumpton (20.5f) 11 days ago and respected under a penalty in hat-trick bid. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (25/1 -127%) Hot Smoked |
25/1(-127%) | (8) Hot Smoked 25/1, Low-mileage hurdler/chaser who has been off track since good third in 2m handicap chase at Taunton 10 months ago. Very best efforts have come at shorter, however. |

Glasha's Peak |
(7) (12/1 -9%)12/1(-9%) | (7) Glasha's Peak 12/1, Showed a bit in brace of bumpers for Alan King. Pulled up on hurdles debut over C&D during late 2019 but glimmer of promise from belated return/yard when third over 19f here last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (3) (1.38/1 +39%) Allavina |
1.38/1(+39%) | (3) Allavina 1.38/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who showed clear aptitude for this job when second in a mares' maiden at Fakenham (2m) last month. No reason why she won't take a step forward from that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.62/1 +14%) Belle De Manech |
1.62/1(+14%) | (1) Belle De Manech 1.62/1, Regressed in bumpers after a successful debut, but back on track over hurdles this season, landing 16-runner mares' novice at Wincanton (15.3f) on Boxing Day. Lead player under a penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Midnight Ginger |
3.33/1(-21%) | (2) Midnight Ginger 3.33/1, Bumper winner who scored convincingly on hurdling debut in a Fakenham mares' novice (2m) in November. Pulled up in a much stronger affair at Newbury but far too soon to be writing her off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (8/1 -14%) Rock On Rita |
8/1(-14%) | (8) Rock On Rita 8/1, £30,000 4-y-o. Dam 2m chase winner (stayed 19f), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/top-class chaser (2m/17f winner) Lake Kariba. Won sole start in Irish points (Nov 8). Market should guide. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (80/1 +36%) Sumtime |
80/1(+36%) | (9) Sumtime 80/1, Offered little when sixth of 7 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) on NH debut bck in spring 2019 and she's best watched on belated return now tackling timber. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (150/1 +40%) Boomtime Banker |
150/1(+40%) | (5) Boomtime Banker 150/1, Picked up for £30,000 after scoring between the flags in October 2019, but has offered little in a trio of novice hurdles and she's readily passed over again here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (150/1 +25%) Ashley Hollow |
150/1(+25%) | (4) Ashley Hollow 150/1, Well held in bumper/pair of novice events last season and she's a likely longer-term project for low-grade handicaps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (66/1 +0%) Tranquil Dawn |
66/1(+0%) | (10) Tranquil Dawn 66/1, First worthwhile form when fourth in small-field novice at Taunton (19f) in November but needs to improve another chunk to trouble a couple of these. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (150/1 +25%) Getaway Suzy |
150/1(+25%) | (6) Getaway Suzy 150/1, Big prices and little to shout about either start over hurdles to date. |

1st (4) (5/1 +69%) Ballybreen |
5/1(+69%) | (4) Ballybreen 5/1, Rattled off a chase hat-trick prior to scoring over hurdles (23.9f) in March. Possibly amiss on both outings this term, though. Blinkers go back on returned to larger obstacles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (11/1 +61%) Inspireus |
11/1(+61%) | (12) Inspireus 11/1, Modest winning chaser last term but yet to hit top form this season, sixth of 12 in handicap chase (25/1) at Taunton (26.3f, heavy) 15 days ago. Slipping in the weights but he still needs more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/1 +42%) Big Time Frank |
7/1(+42%) | (8) Big Time Frank 7/1, Temperamental chaser who bounced back when runner-up here in November. Similar form when fifth at Wincanton next time but remains easy to oppose on balance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (5/1 +44%) Nessfield Blue |
5/1(+44%) | (3) Nessfield Blue 5/1, Modest maiden hurdler who made an encouraging start to the season when third in a Ffos Las novice in October. However, well held at Chepstow since and failed to improve for a switch to fences here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (5.5/1 +35%) Fizzlestix |
5.5/1(+35%) | (1) Fizzlestix 5.5/1, Left chase debut behind when justifying support in a first-time tongue strap at Plumpton in March. Shaped as if better for run there last month and he should be much closer to form here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (6.5/1 +59%) Chain Smoker |
6.5/1(+59%) | (10) Chain Smoker 6.5/1, Landed a gamble here last January but offered nothing on his reappearance at Plumpton 31 days ago. Would need to see market support to consider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (9/1 -20%) Larcadio |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Larcadio 9/1, Winning Irish pointer who achieved a fair level of form over hurdles last term. Pulled up when well backed at Warwick a fortnight ago so must bounce back to feature. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (10/1 +38%) Special Buddy |
10/1(+38%) | (7) Special Buddy 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was in the process of running creditably when falling 3 out at Ffos Las (23.8f, heavy) 46 days ago. Others are more appealing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (12/1 -118%) Burgess Dream |
12/1(-118%) | (11) Burgess Dream 12/1, Dual winner in December 2018 and revived all of a sudden to defy the lowest mark of his career at Plumpton last month, drawing clear from 2 out. Up 8 lb and not sure to be in the same form this time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (14/1 +0%) The Gunner Brady |
14/1(+0%) | (9) The Gunner Brady 14/1, Little impact under Rules when last seen back in 2015/16. Has scored multiple times in points however, latest in February 2020 and this run should how much albility remains. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (40/1 -21%) Midnight Calamity |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Midnight Calamity 40/1, Lightly-raced mare who offered little after 10 months off when pulled up at Fakenham 10 days ago, jumping none too fluently. Cheekpieces go back on but likely to face another struggle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (125/1 +0%) Deewhy |
125/1(+0%) | (13) Deewhy 125/1, 100/1, hinted at ability in 20f handicap chase at Ludlow 43 days ago, still in touch but pulled up after bad mistake 3 out. Since had wind op and needs to step forward now. |

3.5/1(+36%) | (12) Swincombe Fleat 3.5/1, 9/4, offered something to work on when fourth of 10 in bumper at Ffos Las ( heavy) in December. May do better but Rex Dingle seemingly prefers Rubys Reward. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (2.25/1 +0%) Jazz King |
2.25/1(+0%) | (5) Jazz King 2.25/1, 16/1, showed ability when fourth of 11 in bumper (16/1) at Hereford (good to soft) on debut 73 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
