(2)  (22/1 -38%)For Jim |
22/1(-38%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) For Jim 22/1, Five-time winner this season but the busy campaign has seemingly caught up with him now, well below form at Uttoxeter 23 days ago. Back hurdling and others make more appeal. | |||
1st (6)  (5/1 -11%)Stolen Money |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Stolen Money 5/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who returned with an improved showing to score in determined style at Carlisle 52 days ago. That form has been boosted since, and he looks all stamina, so strong claims. | |||
2nd (5)  (3.5/1 +7%)Lady Bowes |
3.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Bowes 3.5/1, Fair bumper winner who left hurdling debut well behind when landing a 2½m Hexham novice last December. Good third at the same course last time, but she's unproven over this far. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 -11%)Macho Mover |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Macho Mover 3.33/1, Relished the longer trip and confirmed his bright start for Olly Murphy when landing a C&D handicap at the start of the month. Had a bit to spare, so looks capable of going in again. | |||
4th (4)  (6.5/1 -63%)Charm Offensive |
6.5/1(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Charm Offensive 6.5/1, Getting better with experience and seemed unsuited by a speed test when third over 20f in novice at Hexham last time, so every chance she can take another step forward back up in trip. | |||
5th (7)  (4.5/1 +55%)Storm Tiger |
4.5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Storm Tiger 4.5/1, Successful on sole outing in points and stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when fourth at Hexham last time. Could do better still up in trip, so hard to discount. | |||
6th (3)  (5/1 +23%)Storm Lorenzo |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Storm Lorenzo 5/1, Ex-Irish gelding who has showed fair form over hurdles for his current yard. Creditable fourth to Macho Mover over C&D last time, but no obvious reason to think he can turn the tables. |

1st (3)  (3.5/1 +0%)Mint Condition |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mint Condition 3.5/1, Three-time hurdle winner in the mud last season who made a pleasing start over fences when second of four in 2m5f novice here 29 days ago, just failing after last-fence blunder. Weighted to go well. | |||
2nd (1)  (9/1 -125%)Ashtown Lad |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ashtown Lad 9/1, Bolted up on his chasing bow at Wetherby last November but he jumped sketchily when last of four in Newbury Grade 2 33 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back for top yard. | |||
3rd (2)  (2.5/1 -11%)Bushypark |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bushypark 2.5/1, Completed a 5-timer over hurdles here in February and he scored readily on his debut in this sphere in 3m Kelso novice handicap 25 days ago. Sure to build on that, and he's well in the mix. | |||
|F| (6)  (16/1 +52%)Frimeur De Lancray |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Frimeur De Lancray 16/1, Fairly useful 19f hurdles winner who matched that level of form over fences when second in 23f handicap at Newcastle 21 days ago. Has plenty on his plate from 12 lb out of the handicap, however. | |||
|PU| (5)  (3/1 +33%)Farrants Way |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Farrants Way 3/1, Fairly useful 25f hurdles winner. Off since being pulled up over 3m here in February. Returns over fences after wind op and 3 lb out of the handicap but can't be discounted for yard among the winners. | |||
|PU| (4)  (4/1 -14%)Torn And Frayed |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Torn And Frayed 4/1, Dual hurdles winner last term who has made a promising start over fences, second of 4 in 20f novice at Cheltenham 19 days ago. Player back in handicap company. |

16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moveit Like Minnie 16/1, Won a couple of bumpers in the summer, but looked in need of the experience when 24 lengths second on his Lingfield hurdle debut last month. Should improve. | |||
1st (1)  (2.75/1 +17%)Jungle Jack |
2.75/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jungle Jack 2.75/1, Irish point winner who made a successful start under Rules in a Sedgefield maiden hurdle 4 weeks ago. Should be more to come for a stable which continues in good form. | |||
4th (7)  (9/1 +25%)Notlongtillmay |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Notlongtillmay 9/1, Fair form when placed in a couple of bumpers nearly 6 months apart. Should have a future over jumps. | |||
5th (2)  (2.5/1 +9%)Transfer Friendly |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Transfer Friendly 2.5/1, Runner-up in point and built on the promise of his hurdle debut third when scoring over 2½m at Ffos Las 43 days ago. Drop back in trip a slight concern but conditions should place emphasis on stamina. | |||
6th (8)  (22/1 -144%)Urban Grit |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Urban Grit 22/1, Cityscape gelding who showed ability in bumpers 6 months, returning from a break to finish third at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Another who can't be discounted. | |||
7th (4)  (40/1 -43%)Gandhi Maker |
40/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gandhi Maker 40/1, Irish point winner who has only managed seventh in a couple of novice hurdles under Rules, but there was plenty of money for him last time so he's presumably thought capable of better. |

1st (4)  (2.75/1 -10%)Blaklion |
2.75/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Blaklion 2.75/1, Still very useful despite his advancing years and he built on his reappearance at Bangor when landing a veterans' event over 25f here at the start of the month. Likely to give another good account. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.2/1 -28%)The Two Amigos |
3.2/1(-28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Two Amigos 3.2/1, Did little wrong last term, including finishing third in Grand National Trial over C&D. Struggling when falling in Aintree Grade 2 on return but this more suitable and given a chance by handicapper. | |||
3rd (3)  (14/1 +13%)Beware The Bear |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beware The Bear 14/1, Won at 2019 Cheltenham Festival. Good fifth in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury on last year's reappearance but he's been below par since, including on his Bangor return for a new yard. | |||
|U| (6)  (7/1 -8%)Bobo Mac |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bobo Mac 7/1, Useful stayer at his best. Stepped up on his reappearance when 18 lengths second at Ludlow 24 days ago. Another who can't be ruled out. | |||
|PU| (7)  (3.5/1 +30%)Chef D'Oeuvre |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Chef D'Oeuvre 3.5/1, Won this race in 2018 and added another course success back in March. Latest Wetherby third suggested he could be coming to the boil again and he's back on a winning mark. Considered. | |||
|PU| (5)  (4.5/1 +25%)Captain Cattistock |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Captain Cattistock 4.5/1, Useful at best for Paul Nicholls and landed 16-runner hunter at Cheltenham for this yard in April. Absent since a lesser run at Stratford in May but can be competitive off this mark if ready to roll. | |||
|PU| (1)  (22/1 -120%)Vieux Lion Rouge |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Vieux Lion Rouge 22/1, Dual Becher Chase winner but he was struggling when unseating in this year's renewal and he'd been below par on his Chepstow return prior to that. C&D winner, but others have more pressing claims. |

2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Celebre D'allen 2.25/1, Useful jumper in France and successful start for new yard after 2 years off in C&D handicap hurdle earlier this month. Big shout if backing that up after 6 lb rise. | |||
2nd (1)  (14/1 -17%)Rockadenn |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rockadenn 14/1, Hurdle/chase winner who was better when ever when taking a Taunton handicap hurdle for Paul Nicholls in February. Disappointing start for current yard at Doncaster on return, but might come on for it. | |||
3rd (2)  (3/1 +14%)Chti Balko |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chti Balko 3/1, 3-time course winner who is well treated and looked as good as ever when runner-up to Green Book (went in again next time) at this course last time. Capable of going one better. | |||
4th (9)  (5/1 +29%)Rattle Owl |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rattle Owl 5/1, Dual winner over hurdles who was slightly inconvenienced by the drop in trip when runner-up at Doncaster last time. More to come back at this sort of distance, so makes plenty of appeal. | |||
5th (6)  (12/1 -140%)Mister Watson |
12/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mister Watson 12/1, Fair hurdler who upped his game to score at Lingfield with something to spare last time. Might not have reached his limit, but has been a touch unreliable so far. | |||
6th (8)  (3.5/1 +22%)Homme Public |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Homme Public 3.5/1, Promising start over hurdles in Britain, winning at Market Rasen in February. Not up to the Fred Winter at Cheltenham but right back on track when third to Celebre d'Allen on reappearance. Considered. | |||
|PU| (4)  (28/1 -211%)Collooney |
28/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Collooney 28/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who was somewhat disappointing over fences last season, so no great surprise he's back in this sphere for his reappearance. Claims if he's tuned up. | |||
|PU| (7)  (40/1 -21%)Minella Charmer |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Minella Charmer 40/1, Landed handicap hurdles 9 months apart in 2019. Missed 2020 and hasn't shown much on either outing this term. | |||
|PU| (3)  (80/1 +0%)Moon Over Germany |
80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moon Over Germany 80/1, Very useful hurdler/chaser for Henry De Bromhead but ended time in Ireland below his best and no encouragement to glean from either outing for his current stable. |

(12)  (6/1 +0%)Geryville |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Geryville 6/1, French recruit who belied odds of 40/1 to make winning start for Micky Hammond in Wetherby handicap before excellent second there 26 days ago. Winner has franked form, so he's a player nudged up 1 lb. | |||
1st (11)  (3.5/1 +59%)Keep Wondering |
3.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Keep Wondering 3.5/1, Wide-margin winner on chase debut at Ffos Las in 2020. Back from 22 months off with creditable fifth in 19f handicap (14/1) at Chepstow 26 days ago, so he's not ruled out if building on that run. | |||
2nd (9)  (10/1 +9%)Thomas Macdonagh |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Thomas Macdonagh 10/1, Improved form over fences last term when scoring at Catterick, but well below par both runs this term, pulled up at Fontwell 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on with something to prove. | |||
3rd (6)  (4/1 +20%)Wouldubewell |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wouldubewell 4/1, Dual point winner and successful over hurdles last term. Made a great start to chase career when landing 4-runner Fontwell handicap (3¼m) 19 days ago. Up 5 lb but she's firmly in the picture. | |||
4th (3)  (20/1 -25%)Saint Xavier |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Saint Xavier 20/1, Exploits have proved more miss than hit for present stable but he arrives in good nick from a spell in Auteuil, sixth in Group 2 there (21.9f, heavy) 32 days ago. No forlorn hope. | |||
5th (13)  (6.5/1 +7%)The Crooner |
6.5/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) The Crooner 6.5/1, Progressive chaser who signed off for last term with stylish win in 21f handicap at Fontwell. Has 10-month absence to overcome, but he's not taken lightly for yard among the winners. | |||
6th (4)  (4.5/1 +0%)Orrisdale |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Orrisdale 4.5/1, Yet to win over fences, but he comes here on the up, in control when last-fence faller at Newton Abbot before strong-finishing runner-up in 21f Market Rasen handicap. Holds good claims off same mark. | |||
|PU| (10)  (6/1 +33%)Up Helly Aa King |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Up Helly Aa King 6/1, Consistent sort who comes here on the back of good fourth in 25f handicap here 29 days ago. Should give another good account back in trip off 2 lb lower mark. | |||
|PU| (8)  (16/1 -45%)Town Parks |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Town Parks 16/1, Fairly useful 20f chase winner who should strip fitter for his reappearance seventh of 11 in Ffos Las handicap (19.4f) 43 days ago. Not discounted now off a reduced mark. | |||
|PU| (5)  (22/1 -175%)Tanarpino |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tanarpino 22/1, Scored at Bangor in August and posted another good effort when second of 8 in 3m handicap there 20 days ago. Can give another good account despite 3 lb rise. | |||
|PU| (2)  (25/1 -79%)Informateur |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Informateur 25/1, Signed off last spring with 20f win here but he's yet to fire this term, pulled up in handicap at Newcastle (23.4f) 33 days ago. Others appeal more. | |||
|PU| (1)  (40/1 -60%)Minella Till Dawn |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Minella Till Dawn 40/1, Consistent Irish chaser for Gordon Elliott who looked rusty on his return/yard bow when fifth of 9 in 3m handicap chase at Wetherby 26 days ago. Seems sure to build on that now. | |||
|PU| (7)  (66/1 -32%)Fine Theatre |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fine Theatre 66/1, Veteran ex-Irish chaser for Paul Nolan but only fourteenth in 3m handicap chase (66/1) at Punchestown 8 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running for his new stable. |

9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prairie Wolf 9/1, Looked a useful prospect when making a winning start to his career at Kelso in May. Similar form when third at Carlisle on return and can make presence felt under a penalty. | |||
3rd (7)  (3/1 -71%)Sporty Jim |
3/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sporty Jim 3/1, Flemensfirth gelding who shaped encouragingly albeit not seen to best effect when fourth at Market Rasen 4 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Capable of better, so one for the shortlist. | |||
6th (8)  (18/1 +55%)Valamix |
18/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Valamix 18/1, Valirann gelding who went with little encouragement when finishing last on debut at Southwell last month. Will need to leave that effort well behind to feature. |

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.
