1st (4)  (10/1 -43%)Just Sophie |
10/1(-43%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Sophie 10/1, Was badly in need of experience in a bumper 12 months ago and shaped better than the distance beaten suggested at Southwell (20.4f, good) last month, fading having still been in touch home turn. May well take a step forward here. | |||
2nd (5)  (1.1/1 -38%)Pass The Love On |
1.1/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pass The Love On 1.1/1, Showed fair form when runner-up on second outing in bumpers and having had a breathing operation, showed something to work on sent hurdling after 14 months off when mid-field at Wetherby (16f, good to soft) last month. Better to come, so she's high on the shortlist. | |||
3rd (7)  (3/1 +25%)The Eminent Goose |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Eminent Goose 3/1, Finished third on her sole start in points in March 2021 but offered little on her belated Rules debut at Ludlow and was too free at Hereford last time. Better showing anticipated here. | |||
4th (2)  (2.75/1 +61%)Dersy Social |
2.75/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dersy Social 2.75/1, Little impression on both starts over hurdles so far (including here last time) so percentage call is to look elsewhere on this qualifying run. | |||
5th (6)  (33/1 -106%)Stargazer Belle |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Stargazer Belle 33/1, Well down the pack in a pair of bumpers so will need to leave those efforts well behind now hurdling. | |||
|PU| (1)  (100/1 -355%)Arini |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arini 100/1, Last in pair of bumpers for Tim Vaughan (had wind-op after debut) and failed to last home on hurdling debut after 9 months off at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Tough to see her getting involved upped in trip. | |||
|PU| (3)  (150/1 -200%)Giveusacuddle |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Giveusacuddle 150/1, Little sign of ability in points/both starts under Rules so far. Easy to look elsewhere. |

1st (3)  (0.44/1 +34%)Arqoob |
0.44/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Arqoob 0.44/1, Useful handicapper on the Flat for William Jarvis and did well under circumstances (jumped tentatively) when runner-up at this C&D on hurdling debut in January. Failed to build on that effort at Newbury next time, but can bounce back returned to this venue. | |||
2nd (2)  (16/1 +43%)Ace Rothstein |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ace Rothstein 16/1, Fairly useful performer on Flat (stays 11.5f) but well held both starts over hurdles so far, not given a hard time once the leaders had got away from him at Newbury last month. Will be of more appeal in handicaps. | |||
3rd (6)  (6/1 -71%)Aristobulus |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Aristobulus 6/1, Having made a successful stable debut on the Flat at Wolverhampton in January, showed aptitude for hurdling when third of 4 in a Newbury maiden 14 days ago, though did take strong hold. Open to improvement, especially if able to settle better. | |||
4th (5)  (9/1 +59%)Rhodia |
9/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rhodia 9/1, Runner-up twice from 4 starts in bumpers, including on second outing for this yard at Bangor in September. Has run to a modest level on both starts over hurdles, plugging on to finish mid-field at Carlisle last month. | |||
5th (1)  (12/1 -100%)Boreen Boy |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boreen Boy 12/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter in April and faced stiff task against an odds-on favourite at Market Rasen the following month. After 9 months off, shaped as if better for the run at Fakenham last time. Can fare better back down in trip. | |||
6th (7)  (22/1 -38%)Baikal |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Baikal 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1m). In first-time hood, failed to improve on his first outing since leaving Kevin Ryan when sixth of 10 at Chelmsford in August (only run for Michael Wigham). Off 6 months ahead of stable/hurdling debut. | |||
|PU| (4)  (100/1 -52%)Galaxy Moon |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Galaxy Moon 100/1, Sent off favourite for a Hereford bumper in November but didn't achieve much and hasn't fared any better in 2 starts over hurdles, down the field in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell on latest outing. Best watched. |

1st (2)  (7.5/1 -15%)Le Tueur |
7.5/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Le Tueur 7.5/1, Placed on 7 of his last 8 starts over fences without doing much wrong, including when runner-up at Fakenham both starts for this yard. Should remain competitive. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.5/1 +22%)On The Platform |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) On The Platform 3.5/1, Returned lame at Ludlow but showed no ill effects when good second at Hereford 18 days ago and should be on the premises again. | |||
3rd (3)  (2/1 +43%)Cloudy Wednesday |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cloudy Wednesday 2/1, Proved well suited by the strong pace when finally off the mark at Fakenham last month under this rider. Better form when runner-up at Leicester next 2 starts, including 5 days ago. Big shout off same mark if this doesn't come too soon. | |||
|U| (6)  (3.33/1 -48%)Ya Know Yaseff |
3.33/1(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ya Know Yaseff 3.33/1, Successful sole start in Irish points. Made much more impact than previously over hurdles when runner-up under a positive ride at Fakenham. However, got no further than the third at Leicester on chase debut last month (sent off favourite). | |||
|PU| (5)  (6/1 +0%)Counteract |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Counteract 6/1, Winner of first 2 starts in this sphere in March/April 2021 and stopped the slide when third at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) in December. Needs to build on that now. | |||
|PU| (7)  (14/1 -40%)Leskinfere |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Leskinfere 14/1, Back-to-back winner over C&D this time last year but just the one decent effort this season (third over C&D penultimate start). Return to this track a plus at least. | |||
|PU| (1)  (22/1 -57%)Phil The Sock |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Phil The Sock 22/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and little solid form over hurdles. Opening mark looks on the high side now sent chasing. |

1.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rewired 1.5/1, Doubled hurdles tally for this yard at Huntingdon in November and has finished runner-up all 3 starts since, a mistake at the last preventing him from finishing closer at Bangor on his latest outing. Can give another good account. | |||
2nd (1)  (2/1 +33%)Swinging London |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Swinging London 2/1, Scored at Fakenham in February last year before good sixth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham the following month. Back on track when third in handicap at Sandown 17 days ago and he can build on that effort to get back to winning ways. | |||
3rd (7)  (8/1 +33%)Enthused |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Enthused 8/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who offered more than previously over hurdles when second in Fakenham maiden in February. However, failed to back up that effort when mid-field on handicap debut at Lingfield last time. More needed. | |||
4th (6)  (8/1 -129%)Denable |
8/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Denable 8/1, Fit from the Flat, showed much improved form over hurdles when opening his account in novice handicap at Worcester in July. Progressed again when following up at Uttoxeter in September and ran well when second at Fontwell on latest outing. Not dismissed lightly on return. | |||
5th (4)  (22/1 -300%)Ginistrelli |
22/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ginistrelli 22/1, Fair but untrustworthy performer on the Flat, winner 3 times in Germany in 2022 and second in minor event at Saint Moritz last month. Back over hurdles on first run for yard after leaving C. Von Der Recke (dual winner for Olly Murphy in 2020/21). | |||
|PU| (5)  (7.5/1 +12%)Doukarov |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Doukarov 7.5/1, Thrived for Sean Curran last term, winning handicap chases at Newbury and Sandown. Step back in right direction for this yard returned to hurdles at Warwick last time. Task is to build on that now. |

2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dibble Decker 2.25/1, Scored twice over hurdles last season and responded well to headgear when scoring over fences at the third attempt over C&D 5 weeks ago, taking his track record to 2 from 2. Needs considering. | |||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +20%)Dom Of Mary |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dom Of Mary 4/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who was in process of making a promising chase debut when falling 2 out at Plumpton (19.7f) in November, looking set for second. Only fifth at Ludlow next time and again held back by jumping back at Plumpton 3 weeks ago. On a good mark if putting it all together. | |||
3rd (2)  (6/1 +25%)Striking A Pose |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Striking A Pose 6/1, Dual hurdles winner who also scored on his chase debut at Exeter (19.2f) last November. Has failed to add to that since though, and he's been below form all 3 starts this term. | |||
4th (1)  (18/1 +10%)The Big Lense |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Big Lense 18/1, Out of sorts for Gordon Elliott last summer but returned to form back over fences when runner-up at Leicester (2½m) last month on second start for this yard. However, added to patchy record at Ludlow 11 days ago and difficult to know what to expect. | |||
5th (6)  (22/1 -57%)Paddy's Poem |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Paddy's Poem 22/1, Scored at Wincanton last season but is yet to fire this year and is likely best passed over. | |||
6th (5)  (5.5/1 -22%)Rocky Lake |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rocky Lake 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winning hurdler who shaped with plenty of promise when staying on for fourth at around this trip on chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) in October. Clearly wasn't 100% next time so worth another chance back from a break. | |||
7th (3)  (12/1 -9%)Orrisdale |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Orrisdale 12/1, Developed into a useful chaser last term, signing off with a couple of small-field victories in 21f handicaps at Hereford. No show so far this season, though. | |||
|PU| (8)  (4.5/1 -50%)Will Sting |
4.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Will Sting 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who got off the mark over fences at the second attempt at Doncaster 5 weeks ago but isn't an obvious type to follow up given his overall profile. |

3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Wise Traveller 3/1, Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap hurdle over C&D 24 days ago. Up 6 lb but can't be ruled out. | |||

9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Robbie Dazzler 9/1, Yet to get his head in front but knocking firmly on the door of late, runner-up at Hexham last time. Another bold show anticipated despite a 2 lb rise. | |||
5th (9)  (25/1 -56%)Richardson |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Richardson 25/1, Poor handicap hurdler who ran one of his better races when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 67 days ago. Up in trip and in the mix if on his A-game again. | |||
6th (5)  (10/1 +29%)Tiny Tantrum |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tiny Tantrum 10/1, Fair maiden for Lucy Wadham last term but not at his best in 4 handicaps for new yard this winter. Mark is on the slide but still need to see more. | |||
7th (10)  (16/1 +0%)Ratoute Yutty |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ratoute Yutty 16/1, Dual C&D winner who shaped as if still in need of the run when fading-fifth of 8 to The Wise Traveller here 24 days ago. Very much one to consider. | |||
8th (11)  (40/1 -21%)Galactic Power |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Galactic Power 40/1, Course winner but it's now 25 runs since last success in 2018. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 54 days ago so needs to get back on track. | |||
|PU| (1)  (5.5/1 -22%)Let's Go Amigo |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Let's Go Amigo 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted a good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good) 26 days ago, running on late. This much longer trip seems sure to suit so considered in first-time cheekpieces. | |||
|PU| (8)  (7.5/1 +17%)The Bandit |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Bandit 7.5/1, Fair in bumpers and he posted much his best effort in this sphere when fifth of 9 on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f) 22 days ago, finishing well having been set lot to do. Big shout off a 3 lb lower mark. | |||

14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wye Aye 14/1, Won 4 times over fences but recent efforts have been well below par, falling heavily 7th at Newcastle last time. Back hurdling now with something to prove. |

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.
