1st (1)  (3.5/1 +50%)Return Fire |
3.5/1(+50%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Return Fire 3.5/1, Not disgraced when third of 4 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good) on debut over fences 43 days ago. Mark looks workable based on best hurdling efforts and there could be more to come. | |||
2nd (2)  (7/1 -75%)Gipsy Lee Rose |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gipsy Lee Rose 7/1, Finally off the mark over fences in 12-runner C&D handicap in April. Made mistakes but ran at least as well when third at Ayr on return last week, so she's not taken lightly. | |||
3rd (13)  (16/1 -129%)Kildrum |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Kildrum 16/1, Finally off mark when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft) in May, though very much had run of race. Unlikely to find circumstances as favourable this time. | |||
4th (4)  (50/1 -25%)Welsh Reign |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Welsh Reign 50/1, Steadily progressive for bulk of last season at this sort of level for Tim Reed (stiff task final outing). Interesting if able to continue in same vein for new yard. | |||
5th (9)  (9/1 -13%)Asking For Answers |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Asking For Answers 9/1, C&D winner. 7/2, step back in right direction when second of 5 in handicap chase at this course (20.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago, but regular mistakes temper enthusiasm. | |||
6th (11)  (20/1 +60%)Oishin |
20/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Oishin 20/1, Yet to score over fences and wasn't any immediate promise when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago on return. Opposable again. | |||
7th (12)  (28/1 +44%)Bannside |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Bannside 28/1, Poor form over hurdles and hasn't looked any better in this sphere after 2 chase outings so far. | |||
|F| (8)  (5.5/1 -10%)Onestepatatime |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Onestepatatime 5.5/1, Very much caught the eye when a fast-finishing second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, soft, 4/1) on final start last term. Interesting from this mark on chase debut. | |||
|F| (5)  (12/1 +25%)An Marcach |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) An Marcach 12/1, One win from 31 NH runs. Creditable enough return fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 33 days ago but some doubts remain about his stamina over this trip. | |||
|U| (7)  (1.88/1 +62%)Aazza |
1.88/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Aazza 1.88/1, Irish point winner who won mares novice hurdle on this card last season on Rules debut. Outpaced over 2m on chase bow last month and should improve back at a more suitable trip. One to consider. | |||
|U| (3)  (16/1 -60%)Event Of Sivola |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Event Of Sivola 16/1, Ended last season in tame fashion and pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Sedgefield (29.2f, good to soft) on return 19 days ago. Others preferred. |

Could progress significantly and makes plenty of appeal on hurdles bow. | |||
2nd (1)  (22/1 +45%)Arcandy |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arcandy 22/1, Has only shown temperament in 4 starts to date and is impossible to fancy. | |||

25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lacila Blue 25/1, Modest form in bumpers, still green but improving when fourth of 9 in bumper (25/1) at Musselburgh (16.4f, good). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. | |||

100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Celestial Fashion 100/1, Well held in a trio of bumpers and was too free when seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 11 days ago. Lots more needed. | |||
7th (5)  (7.5/1 +77%)Fllana Bay |
7.5/1(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fllana Bay 7.5/1, Confirmed she possesses some ability when third of 8 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft, 18/1) 35 days ago. Form only poor but that gives her place claims in this company. | |||
8th (7)  (80/1 -264%)Nairobi Girl |
80/1(-264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nairobi Girl 80/1, Won point bumper in February but hasn't made any impact in a pair of bumpers under Rules. | |||

4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) North Parade 4.5/1, Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. 14/1, shaped as if better for run when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 13 days ago.

5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Feivel 5/1, Well-ridden by this jockey to cause a 22/1 upset at Hereford in February but proved it was no fluke when running at least as well in defeat at Market Rasen on next start. Down in trip for chase debut. | |||

7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beat Box 7.5/1, Back to winning ways in handicap at Ayr in December last year and shaped as if still in form both subsequent outings, needing stiffer test when fourth at Sedgefield in March.

18/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Right Said Ted 18/1, Has offered little in his 3 starts over hurdles to date, again beating only one home in novice at Wetherby (19.7f, good to soft) in March. Makes handicap bow after 7 months off. | |||

18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ginger Pointe 18/1, Maiden Irish pointer who offered something to work on when runner-up in a C&D novice (soft) in September. Below that level when never dangerous third here next time, but could yet build on initial promise making handicap debut. | |||

4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Brickadank 4/1, After 10 weeks off, shaped as if back in form when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, heavy, 8/1) 15 days ago, taking strong hold. Can finally get off the mark with this return to 2m to suit. | |||
9th (11)  (40/1 +20%)Stoney Street |

25/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jamil 25/1, Flat winner who confirmed previous promise over hurdles when opening account in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, good) in March.

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.
