Johnson's Blue

3
3/1(-9%)
(3) Johnson's Blue 3/1, Winner over 2½m here last month. Better form when second at Newcastle since. Unexposed type who could easily have more to come now stepping up in trip. Leading claims.

Dillarchie

28
28/1(-250%)
(7) Dillarchie 28/1, Bumper winner. Has shown ability in her qualifying runs over hurdles and it's possible she'll fare better now handicapping over a longer trip. One of more interesting runners.

Atomic Angel

2.75
2.75/1(+63%)
(10) Atomic Angel 2.75/1, Successful over C&D and at Sedgefield over the winter. Creditable third of 10 back at Sedgefield 22 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Ribeye

4
4/1(-14%)
(4) Ribeye 4/1, Better since upped to 3m, comfortably getting off the mark at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. 8 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing if turning up in similar form.

Shantou Boudicca

150
150/1(-355%)
(6) Shantou Boudicca 150/1, LIttle impact in bumpers/over hurdles but handicaps over a longer trip do provide her with a more realistic chance. Worth a precautionary betting check.

Storm Force One

14
14/1(-27%)
(14) Storm Force One 14/1, Placed 3 times over 3m at Wetherby this year and also a respectable fourth over this C&D in December. Blinkered first time. Should figure but suspicion his maiden status might remain intact.

Queen Of Fame

33
33/1(-65%)
(15) Queen Of Fame 33/1, Maiden handicap hurdler who ran her best race for this yard when third in handicap at Carlisle (25f) in February. Not in the same form twice since (distant fourth latterly). Others stronger.

Strike Of Lighting

11
11/1(+21%)
(8) Strike Of Lighting 11/1, Yet to better modest form over hurdles, including when sixth of 13 on 17f Carlisle handicap debut 6 weeks ago. Still early days but he'll need to improve for the longer trip.

Well Educated

2.75
2.75/1(+39%)
(7) Well Educated 2.75/1, Fair form in bumpers and reached a similar level in novice/maiden hurdles last year. Not kicked on in handicaps subsequently but this drop in grade is an obvious plus now re-united with Brian Hughes. Worthy of a second look in first-time cheekpieces.

Kings Creek

2.5
2.5/1(+64%)
(4) Kings Creek 2.5/1, Juvenile hurdle winner for Iain Jardine who arrives in good heart for present yard, creditable third of 10 at Southwell (3m) 8 days ago. Should give another good account with visor replacing cheekpieces.

Katpoli

3.5
3.5/1(-192%)
(3) Katpoli 3.5/1, Scored twice over fences in 2019/20 but has been disappointing (made mistakes) since returning from a lengthy absence, blinkers failing to have desired effect at Bangor 3 weeks ago. Switch to hurdling/drop in grade may have a positive effect now, though.

Bestiarius

6
6/1(+50%)
(1) Bestiarius 6/1, Veteran who took advantage of much-reduced mark to belatedly open hurdles account at Newcastle (20.3f) earlier this month. Turned in a rare poor display at Perth 8 days ago and no easy task on these terms down in grade.
2
5th (2) Gennady (5/1 +44%)
Gennady

5
5/1(+44%)
(2) Gennady 5/1, Successful twice during 2019/20 campaign and caught the eye on second start of that season over 16.2f at Newcastle in March, finishing with running left. Never figured at Southwell last time but worth noting if market vibes are positive down at selling level.

Uncle Henry

22
22/1(-300%)
(6) Uncle Henry 22/1, Fair hurdler for Gordon Elliott who has offered little in a couple of chase outings for present stable (reportedly bled on both occasions). On that basis, he's tough to assess returned to timber.

Uncle Gez

200
200/1(-203%)
(5) Uncle Gez 200/1, Little to shout about in bumper/novice hurdles and again showed nothing when pulled up on handicap bow at Newcastle (20.3f) 3 weeks ago. Passed over here. Blinkered.

22
22/1(-120%)
(7) High Noon 22/1, Shaped as if retaining ability without usual headgear after 6 months off when fourth in 6-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Back on last winning mark and one to take seriously back up in trip with that under his belt.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
