1st (2)  (1.38/1 +8%)Hell Red |
1.38/1(+8%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hell Red 1.38/1, Yet to build on last season's promising juvenile efforts but he did at least return to best when second over hurdles here (19.2f) in March. Needs to find some improvement for switch to chasing but that is possible for this 5-y-o. | |||
2nd (1)  (0.57/1 +0%)Wicked West |
0.57/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wicked West 0.57/1, Improved for new stable, winning maiden/novice hurdle events last summer. Impressed to make winning chase debut at Exeter (19.2f) in April and set to follow up when falling last back at that venue later that month. Big shout with more to come. |

1st (5)  (0.14/1 +86%)Mothill |
0.14/1(+86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mothill 0.14/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France who has improved with each outing over hurdles, runner-up in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f) on his latest outing in February. Leading claims with more to come. | |||
2nd (3)  (5/1 +44%)The Turtle Said |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Turtle Said 5/1, Placed twice in bumpers and translated that ability to hurdles when 14½ lengths third in 2m Wincanton maiden in March. Mothill looks the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise. | |||
3rd (1)  (22/1 +12%)Spider Bill |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Spider Bill 22/1, 22/1, always behind on Exeter bumper debut 4 weeks ago. Hardly strikes as an obvious type to make a winning start over hurdles after that. |

1st (11)  (25/1 -14%)Whatcoloristhewind |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Whatcoloristhewind 25/1, Showed her first form from 8 lb out of the weights when fifth at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) in March but failed to build on that at Exeter (18.5f) subsequently. Faces another stiff task from out of the weights. | |||
2nd (7)  (2/1 +50%)Mickyh |
2/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mickyh 2/1, Doubled career tally at Stratford (18.6f) in April and not disgraced when third at Plumpton (17.7f) later last month, no extra late on having been pressed for the lead. Should give another good account. | |||
3rd (3)  (11/1 -57%)Henry Box Brown |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Henry Box Brown 11/1, Bumper winner who hasn't gone without promise in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles upon joining present stable this spring. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and market support would need to be viewed positively. | |||
4th (1)  (8/1 +33%)Hit The Rocks |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hit The Rocks 8/1, Off the mark over timber when taking a heavy-ground handicap hurdle at Lingfield in February. However, below that level on 2 of his 3 starts since and bounce back called for here. | |||
5th (6)  (20/1 -100%)Spanish Hustle |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Spanish Hustle 20/1, Fair but temperamental handicapper on Flat, off the mark at Brighton in October. Didn't pull up any trees in a couple of juvenile hurdles late last year and never figured back on the Flat last month. | |||
6th (4)  (5.5/1 -10%)Good Time Ahead |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Good Time Ahead 5.5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who stepped up markedly on reappearance run when third in a C&D event in February. Not seen since but looks on a handy mark. | |||
7th (8)  (40/1 -82%)Jellicle Jewel |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jellicle Jewel 40/1, Showed more than on debut when fourth of 6 at Newton Abbot in September before well held after 6 months off at Chepstow last month. Up in trip with hood on and hood applied for handicap debut. | |||
8th (9)  (5/1 +0%)Gibraltarian |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gibraltarian 5/1, Found some improvement to open her account in novice handicap at Newton Abbot (18.5f) last summer and best effort yet on back of 7 months off when runner-up back there 8 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat. | |||
9th (2)  (5/1 -25%)Sword Beach |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sword Beach 5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who showed improved form over hurdles when making a successful handicap debut at Plumpton (15.9f) in March (in first-time visor). Too free when pulled up at Wincanton since and bounce back distinctly possible. | |||
|PU| (10)  (28/1 +44%)African Sun |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) African Sun 28/1, Limited sort who again finished well held operating from out of the weights at Uttoxeter (20f) when last seen in July. Others make greater appeal on return to action. |

9/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dogon 9/1, Fair but temperamental chaser who signed off for Paul Nicholls with a good second at Plumpton 7 months ago. Has joined a shrewd yard, so he's of definite interest if the market speaks in his favour. | |||
2nd (6)  (3.5/1 +0%)Richie Valentine |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Richie Valentine 3.5/1, Back to form when scoring at Plumpton last time and, while he has an all-or-nothing profile, his stable can do no wrong at the moment, so he's worth considering. | |||
3rd (3)  (3.33/1 +17%)Court Royale |
3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Court Royale 3.33/1, Nearly took advantage of a career-low mark when narrowly denied by an unexposed rival at Hereford in February. Not in same form next time but returns from a short break with his yard in top form. | |||
4th (7)  (3.5/1 +30%)En Coeur |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) En Coeur 3.5/1, Scored at Plumpton in January and, while below form there last time, he's consistent in the main, so he's likely to bounce back. | |||
5th (4)  (6.5/1 +64%)Elios D'Or |
6.5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Elios D'Or 6.5/1, Did well last summer but was below form on final 2021 outing and pulled up returning from an absence at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Something to prove. | |||
6th (1)  (8.5/1 -21%)Shiroccan Roll |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shiroccan Roll 8.5/1, Winning hurdler. Mixed record over fences but responded well to this headgear when scoring at Market Rasen in November. Hasn't fired since. | |||
7th (5)  (8/1 +27%)Tazka |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tazka 8/1, Out of sorts when last seen 14 months ago but has been given a chance by the handicapper and last win came at this track, so worth a market check. |

1st (1)  (0.73/1 +39%)Coal Stock |
0.73/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Coal Stock 0.73/1, Good start for new yard, following up his Chepstow success in April when proving 3½ lengths too strong for Touchthesoul over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago. Unpenalised as that was a conditional jockeys' event. Another bold bid is assured. | |||
2nd (3)  (9/1 -50%)George Bancroft |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) George Bancroft 9/1, Flat winner who won on course hurdle debut last October and was second at Ffos Las next time. Hasn't reproduced that form in handicaps since, beaten just over 8 lengths into third at Market Rasen in March. Cheekpieces he wore when winning on Flat are on for first time over hurdles. | |||
3rd (2)  (5/1 -25%)Beholden |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Beholden 5/1, Newton Abbot maiden and 2½m Wincanton novice winner in the first half of last season. Sound return from a break when second of 8 at Huntingdon last month but a couple of these rivals look better handicapped. Visor back on. | |||
4th (4)  (3.33/1 +0%)Touchthesoul |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Touchthesoul 3.33/1, Reacted well to cheekpieces when 3½ lengths second to Coal Stock over C&D last week and would have pushed him closer but for a mistake at the last. Meets Joe Tizzard's charge on 3 lb better terms this time. |

1st (2)  (1.25/1 -56%)Soldier Of Love |
1.25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Soldier Of Love 1.25/1, Prolific in 2020 and, while this year's efforts have raised question marks, he's been given time off since his laboured effort at Doncaster and his class might pull him through. | |||
2nd (1)  (3/1 -20%)West Approach |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) West Approach 3/1, Irresolute but took a Wincanton match over 25f in February. Just respectable efforts at best since, but has enough ability to trouble Soldier of Love. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.62/1 +54%)Tel'Art |
1.62/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tel'Art 1.62/1, Fair winner at 3¼m over hurdles for Ben Pauling and has produced some respectable efforts for current yard, fourth in a hunter at Cheltenham last time. Not discounted. |

12/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Carolines Charm 12/1, Fairly useful winning chaser who shaped as if need of run after 5 months off back hurdling when remote third at Wincanton. Needs to build on it now kept to this sphere. | |||
2nd (1)  (0.73/1 +12%)Hyland |
0.73/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hyland 0.73/1, Improving hurdler who opened his account at Warwick before excellent third there back at 19f three weeks ago, staying on well. Has more to offer, especially back at this longer trip. One to beat. | |||
3rd (3)  (1.5/1 +33%)Midnight Centurion |
1.5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Midnight Centurion 1.5/1, Got off the mark in 21f Ludlow maiden hurdle before excellent third on his handicap debut at Chepstow (19.5f) 24 days ago. Highly respected off the same mark with this stiffer test of stamina also a pluc. |

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.
