1st (1)  (1.38/1 +69%)Quinta Do Mar |
1.38/1(+69%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Quinta Do Mar 1.38/1, Failed to measure up to expectations on chase/seasonal debut but back on track returned to hurdles when edging out a subsequent dual winner here (17.7f). Pulled up in Lanzarote next time but not disgraced back over fences at Kempton 16 days ago. 3 lb lower now and cheekpieces go on. | |||
2nd (3)  (2/1 -14%)Grandads Cottage |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grandads Cottage 2/1, £200,000 Irish point winner who improved with each outing over hurdles, off the mark in a Taunton novice (19f) during spring 2021. Easy to back but made light of lengthy absence to make winning handicap chase bow at Wetherby (19.4f) in December. One to be interested in again. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.33/1 -104%)Fable |
3.33/1(-104%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fable 3.33/1, Irish point/dual hurdles winner who, on back of a wind op has made a bright start over fences, off the mark at third attempt in 5-runner mares' handicap at Bangor (20.3f) 16 days ago. 4 lb higher mark to defy here but unlikely she's reached her limit just yet. | |||
|F| (4)  (8/1 -45%)Name In Lights |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Name In Lights 8/1, Dual hurdles winner at around 2m who is a rangy chasing type but didn't jump well enough to make an impact on his debut over fences at Kempton (18f) 16 days ago. Needs to leave that behind but it remains early days. |

1st (6)  (4/1 +20%)Lightonthewing |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lightonthewing 4/1, Jumped well when making a winning chase debut at Exeter (19.2f) on New Year's Day. Backed up that effort when third at Ffos Las (20.9f) next time and was a bit unlucky when unseating rider at Hereford 11 days ago. Not taken lightly. | |||
2nd (1)  (4/1 -33%)Bolsover Bill |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bolsover Bill 4/1, Has been in fine form since the tongue tie has gone back on this season, completing a hat-trick with success at Ffos Las (2m) in January. Not seen to best effect at Fakenham (21.2f) last time, so he can resume winning ways. | |||
3rd (4)  (3.33/1 +0%)Hector Jaguen |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hector Jaguen 3.33/1, Maiden Irish pointer who improved on hurdles form at the first attempt in this sphere when third in novices' handicap chase at Plumpton (17f) last month, despite possibly overdoing the forcing tactics a touch. Open to improvement upped in trip. | |||
4th (2)  (12/1 -9%)Drop Him In |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Drop Him In 12/1, Maiden hurdler in Ireland who made the frame on 2 of his 4 starts in points prior to a creditable third returned to timber for new stable at Lingfield (23f) in November. However, well held on his completed start in chases since. | |||
5th (5)  (5.5/1 -22%)Furkash |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Furkash 5.5/1, Sole success came in novice hurdle here back in November 2020. Hasn't been able to match that level since, but one of his better efforts when runner-up in novices' handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) a month ago. Task is now to build on that. | |||
6th (8)  (33/1 +0%)Dannystory |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dannystory 33/1, Runner-up on final outing in points but little form in bumper/over hurdles under Rules. Best watched on his chase bow. | |||
7th (9)  (25/1 +24%)Auld Sod |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Auld Sod 25/1, Course winner on return in 2020/21 and only other victory came in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f) in June 2021 when trained by Philip Hobbs. Yet to fire this season and the return of blinkers isn't enough to tempt. | |||
|PU| (3)  (6.5/1 +19%)Oscarsman |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oscarsman 6.5/1, Off 24 months ahead of this season and stepped up on his return when third in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f) in November. Bounced back to form when fourth of 13 here (21.8f) earlier this month and now makes chase debut (placed in Irish points). | |||
|PU| (7)  (10/1 +9%)Sure Listen |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sure Listen 10/1, Stepped up on his previous run when off the mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f) in December, benefiting from the longer trip. Makes chase debut (made the frame on sole outing in points). |

1st (5)  (3.5/1 -17%)Brewin'upastorm |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Brewin'upastorm 3.5/1, Very smart hurdler who won this in 2021 and went close (conceded 6 lb to winner) in last year's renewal. Below form last time, finishing tamely, but has had a wind op since. Highly respected. | |||
2nd (4)  (5/1 -11%)Sceau Royal |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sceau Royal 5/1, Very smart hurdler/chaser who landed the odds at Kempton in a listed hurdle on his reappearance. Back to form in Ireland last time and seems likely to give his running. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.75/1 +36%)Knappers Hill |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Knappers Hill 1.75/1, Enhanced good strike-rate when taking the Grade 2 Elite at Wincanton in November. Hasn't fired on both subsequent outings but still merits respect. | |||
4th (3)  (9/1 -50%)Proschema |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Proschema 9/1, Smart hurdler who looked better than ever when breezing to success in the West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby before being pulled up in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury 3 months ago. Could bounce back after a break. | |||
5th (1)  (3.33/1 -11%)Goshen |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Goshen 3.33/1, Very smart hurdler on his day, landing 19f Grade 2 at Ascot in November. Just as good when second of 5 to Paisley Park in 3m Kempton Grade 1 on Boxing Day and subsequent blip over fences is best excused. Strong claims. |

1st (2)  (3.33/1 +17%)Fountains Chief |
3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fountains Chief 3.33/1, Completed hat-trick in maiden/novice company in the summer (won over C&D in May). Probably unsuited by softer ground on his first start this winter and would have benefited from setting a stronger pace last time, so no surprise to see him make more impact here with conditions likely to suit. | |||
2nd (8)  (16/1 +68%)Bluffmeifyoucan |
16/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bluffmeifyoucan 16/1, Well suited by the run of the race when landing an Exeter novice last term but has showed nothing in handicaps this season and can't be fancied on those performances. | |||
3rd (1)  (8/1 -7%)Invincible Nao |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Invincible Nao 8/1, French juvenile hurdle winner (at 17.4f) back in April. Acquired for €155,000 thereafter but proved too headstrong in trio of starts for present yard, weakening quickly on handicap debut at Kempton (2m) over Christmas. | |||
4th (4)  (10/1 -25%)Heaven Smart |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heaven Smart 10/1, Runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles at Plumpton and Lingfield before Christmas but produced a rather tame finishing effort when last of 6 on handicap debut at Sandown (19.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others have achieved more. | |||
5th (5)  (14/1 +36%)Pilbara |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pilbara 14/1, Chase winner here in October 2021 but has achieved very little since, unable to land a blow when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good) 13 days ago. Others preferred. | |||
6th (7)  (2/1 +33%)Wavering Down |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wavering Down 2/1, Much improved when scoring at Newton Abbot in October and has held his form well in defeat both outings since, most recently when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Player again. | |||
7th (3)  (3.5/1 +0%)Peace Of Rome |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Peace Of Rome 3.5/1, Fair in bumpers and has looked a stayer in a pair of novice hurdles this term, his stamina not being sufficiently tested when fourth of 5 at Market Rasen (20.6f, good, 11/1) 19 days ago. Should still improve now tongue tied on handicap debut. |

1st (5)  (4/1 +0%)Goodwin Racing |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Goodwin Racing 4/1, Hit the frame in a couple of bumpers and decent start to hurdling career when second at Plumpton. Drop back in trip not sure to suit but he still has solid place claims. | |||
2nd (2)  (10/1 +0%)Red Windsor |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Red Windsor 10/1, Fair form when placed on all 4 bumper starts and made a winning start to his hurdle career in a 19f course novice in October. Found less than looked likely back here 3 weeks ago, however, and vulnerable again under a penalty. | |||
3rd (1)  (2.5/1 +9%)General Medrano |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) General Medrano 2.5/1, Showed promise both starts in bumpers and much improved over hurdles when winning C&D maiden 3 weeks ago, easing clear. Respected under a penalty. | |||
4th (8)  (0.83/1 -4%)Kansas Du Berlais |
0.83/1(-4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kansas Du Berlais 0.83/1, Promising fourth in listed newcomers race at Auteuil on hurdling debut for David Cottin and much better effort for this yard when close second at Lingfield 12 days ago, closing strongly late having conceded first run. Sets clear standard. | |||
5th (7)  (150/1 -50%)Rollo's Kingdom |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rollo's Kingdom 150/1, Showed a bit on the first of 2 bumper runs but offered little tried hurdling at Lingfield. | |||
6th (3)  (80/1 -186%)Blackwater |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Blackwater 80/1, Showed more than previously away from heavy conditions on first outing since leaving Gordon Elliott (£11,000) when third of 5 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las, though it looked hard work for much of the way and he needs to take another big step forward. | |||
7th (4)  (250/1 -100%)Charlie Magri |
250/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Charlie Magri 250/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.3f, good) on hurdles bow. Off 23 months. First run for yard after leaving Colin Tizzard. |

2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Trappist Monk 2/1, Lost his way under Rules but has enjoyed success in points more recently and this is a weak hunter. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.2/1 +31%)Back Bar |
1.2/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Back Bar 1.2/1, One-time fair hurdler (for Gordon Elliott) who is better known for his pointing exploits. Won a novice hunter last season and merits respect returning to Rules. | |||
3rd (2)  (11/1 +73%)Dalahast |
11/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dalahast 11/1, Multiple chase winner in France but obviously not the force of old and only a remote fifth in a hunter at Hereford last time. Others preferred. | |||
4th (3)  (4/1 -233%)Tout Est Permis |
4/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tout Est Permis 4/1, Smart Irish chaser in his prime for Noel Meade. Nothing like so good lately and has something to prove after a couple of non-completions (reportedly lost action start at Sandown 10 days ago). Should find this easier at least. |

3.33/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Goodwin 3.33/1, Champs Elysees gelding who charged home from an unpromising position when third of 13 on debut at Chepstow (16f, good) 3 months ago. Looks sure to take a step forward with that experience under his belt. Leading claims. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +36%)Spitalfield |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Spitalfield 2.25/1, Improved from debut when runner-up in a bumper at Thurles and having joined a top yard for £65,000, progressed further when second over C&D 4 weeks ago, pulling clear of remainder. Should be in the mix. | |||
3rd (6)  (14/1 +50%)Two To Tango |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Two To Tango 14/1, Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Shiroccan Roll and fair 19f hurdle winner Little Mix. Dam (h101) 2m hurdle winner. Of obvious interest on debut. | |||
4th (4)  (7/1 -75%)Seaside Legend |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Seaside Legend 7/1, Adlerflug gelding who had had a breathing operation prior to his debut and shaped as if the run was needed when runner-up at Hereford back in November (16.2f, soft). Should be on the premises here. | |||
5th (7)  (125/1 -150%)Lewesian Lass |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lewesian Lass 125/1, Related to a bumper winner and showed more than first time up when fourth at Ffos Las (15.8f, soft) 3 months ago. Looks one for further down the line, though. | |||
6th (1)  (150/1 -127%)Elzaaro |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Elzaaro 150/1, Elzaam gelding. Dam, well held sole start over hurdles, 13f winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m/17f winner) St Gallen. | |||
7th (8)  (250/1 -67%)Madam May |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Madam May 250/1, Has shown little on both starts to date and makes minimal appeal returning from 11 months off the track. | |||
8th (2)  (25/1 -39%)Fruit Hill |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fruit Hill 25/1, Kingston Hill gelding who was strong in the market but trailed home a well-beaten fifth at Killarney 7 months ago. Has joined a top yard and interesting to see what the market makes of him. | |||
9th (9)  (1.75/1 +30%)Cairo King |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cairo King 1.75/1, £20,000 3-y-o, Scalo gelding. Half-brother to French 9f/1¼m winner Man of Cairo. Dam ran twice on Flat in France. Newcomers from yard often fancied. |

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.
