3.5/1(+46%) | (2) Hour By Hour 3.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, fifth of 11 in minor event at Haydock (8f, good) 21 days ago. Down in trip for this nursery debut and he's not discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.75/1 +42%) Hi Clare |
1.75/1(+42%) | (1) Hi Clare 1.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in maiden (10/3) at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on. More neeed now pitched into a nursery, but it's entirely possible that she will indeed raise her game a touch. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4.5/1(+36%) | (6) Nifaliophobia 4.5/1, Winner at Doncaster in July. Respectable second of 8 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 5/2) 18 days ago. It wouldn be no surprise were he to give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4/1(+47%) | (4) The Twilight Lady 4/1, 11/1, respectable third of 9 in nursery at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. 2 lb lower now and should have a part to play if the first-time cheekpieces help eke out a little more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (8.5/1 +53%) Wildfell |
8.5/1(+53%) | (7) Wildfell 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, third of 8 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and improvement is required from 4 lb out of the handicap here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1.2/1(+40%) | (3) Venetian 1.2/1, Thrice-raced colt. 3/1, third of 8 in minor event at Haydock (7f, good) 21 days ago. Doesn't look especially progressive, but probably wouldn't need to improve much on his latest effort in order to play a leading role here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (18/1 +36%) Eastvan |
18/1(+36%) | (4) Eastvan 18/1, Foaled April 23. £9,000 yearling. Half-brother to numerous winners, including winner up to 1m King of Nepal and winner up to 8.3f Lady Marl. Dam US 1m winner. Entitled to come on for the run. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1.88/1(-15%) | (6) Royal Athena 1.88/1, Promising sort. Third of 6 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 11/2) on debut 18 days ago, nearest finish. Open to improvement and she's the one to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 +17%) Bowland Prince |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Bowland Prince 10/1, Thrice-raced colt. Sixth of 10 in maiden (22/1) at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Will be of greater interest in nurseries in due course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/1 -50%) Artisan Dancer |
9/1(-50%) | (1) Artisan Dancer 9/1, Foaled May 14. €26,000 yearling. Brother to 9.5f-1½m winner Esteve and 1¼m-12.5f winner Rudimental, both useful. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Venetian appears to be the stable first-string, bue he's one to note in the betting nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (20/1 +0%) Musical Gift |
20/1(+0%) | (5) Musical Gift 20/1, £12,000 yearling. Cosely related to 3 winners, including useful 5f (including at 2 yrs) winner Little Voice and 1¼m winner Mister Ambassador. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner. |

4th (10) (16/1 +52%) A La Francaise |

5th (7) (12/1 +40%) Lady Caroline |
12/1(+40%) | (7) Lady Caroline 12/1, Won Chester novice last term for Tom Dascombe but has made no impact in 3 starts handicapping for current trainer. Not easy to make a case for. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
