1st (11)  (8/1 +33%)Shantou Moon |
8/1(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Shantou Moon 8/1, Maiden Irish pointer who has performed with credit in handicaps around 2m4f at Ayr and Wetherby on his last two starts. Not ruled out with his stamina drawn out more here. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 +36%)Lock Down Luke |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lock Down Luke 3.5/1, C&D winner who posted a good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft) 47 days ago. Can give another good account despite taking a 3 lb rise. | |||
3rd (3)  (6.5/1 -95%)Swallows Song |
6.5/1(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Swallows Song 6.5/1, Made a winning start in Sedgefield bumper and has shown promise when twice placed over 19f at Catterick since, taking second late on in maiden hurdle on latter occasion. Goes handicapping with more to offer at this longer trip. Interesting. | |||
4th (6)  (6/1 +33%)Fortcanyon |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fortcanyon 6/1, 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, returned to form from out of the blue to open his account in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f, soft) 17 days ago. Needs to back it up now from a 5 lb higher mark. | |||
5th (4)  (5.5/1 +31%)Curley Finger |
5.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Curley Finger 5.5/1, Scored at Hexham last May and in good form since, fading sixth over 3m at Doncaster last month. Tongue tied now. Shortlisted back down in trip. | |||
6th (1)  (6/1 +20%)Tiger Jet |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tiger Jet 6/1, Dual winner at up 23.3f this term who has run creditably back in handicaps at Wetherby and Newcastle (hooded) on his last two starts. Should be competitive again. | |||
7th (8)  (33/1 -65%)Bolt Man |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bolt Man 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, best effort when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft) 80 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. More is required now going into handicaps. | |||
8th (9)  (18/1 -80%)Pipers Cross |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pipers Cross 18/1, Bumper winner who has hinted at promise in three runs over hurdles, staying-on sixth of 12 in novice at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. This longer trip should unlock some improvement so she needs considering on her first go in handicap company. | |||
9th (7)  (80/1 -100%)How Much |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) How Much 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs to get back on track. | |||
10th (5)  (4.5/1 -29%)Five Dollar Fine |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Five Dollar Fine 4.5/1, Winning pointer who has improved with each of his three runs to date in this sphere, third of 10 in novice at Newcastle (20.3f, soft) 17 days ago. Must enter calculations on his handicap debut. | |||
|PU| (10)  (50/1 -52%)Goodoldbill |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Goodoldbill 50/1, Successful in Irish points but has failed to show much in four outings over hurdles, well-held sixth on his handicap debut here (2m0 last month. This return to a longer trip needs to spark major improvement. |

1st (5)  (1.62/1 +68%)Dare To Shout |
1.62/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dare To Shout 1.62/1, £50,000 5-y-o, Martaline gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser winner Yukon Lil. Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Nov 13) and plenty of promise to glean from hurdles debut second at Newcastle (16.9f) 17 days ago. Player with progress expected. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.73/1 +42%)Richhill |
0.73/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Richhill 0.73/1, £75,000 5-y-o, Presenting gelding. Gamely off mark in Irish points at third attempt in May and confirmed positives of his hurdles debut effort at Chepstow, when off the mark in a Southwell maiden (20.4f) 3 weeks ago, just holding on. In excellent hands and he may well do better. | |||
3rd (7)  (11/1 +39%)Kingston Bridge |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kingston Bridge 11/1, Fair form when landing a C&D bumper on debut in November and similar form in defeat both starts since, latterly when fourth at Musselburgh (15.5f) 45 days ago. Interesting what the market makes of him now hurdling. | |||
4th (9)  (150/1 +40%)Syltezar |
150/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Syltezar 150/1, Poor form in bumpers and not offered much in 2 hurdle starts so far this winter. Cheekpieces reached for now but low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag. | |||
5th (8)  (25/1 -25%)Zopito |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Zopito 25/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Petillo (17f/2¼m winner). Fair form when second in juvenile at Saint-Brieuc in France back in November 2021. Gelded ahead of return/yard debut and market should prove a useful guide. | |||
6th (6)  (80/1 -100%)Don't Look Back |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Don't Look Back 80/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Richard Hughes (stays 1m). Easy to back, offered little on yard hurdles bow at Perth (16.2f) back in September 2021 and never involved back on Flat at Hamilton (8.3f) in August of last year. Absent since. |

1st (1)  (0.91/1 +27%)Minella Drama |
0.91/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Minella Drama 0.91/1, Smart hurdler/chaser who capitalised on a drop back to handicap company when scoring comfortably over fences at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. That form has been boosted and he looks sure to go well again. | |||
2nd (3)  (4.5/1 +0%)Doyen Breed |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Doyen Breed 4.5/1, Did well as a novice chaser last season but has disappointed in a 3m handicap hurdle and 4m chase this time round. Drops significantly in trip now in a bid to get back on track. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.75/1 +30%)Elvis Mail |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Elvis Mail 1.75/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who returned to something like his best to end losing run on return at Ayr (20.5f) in October. Better effort since when third of 11 in 3m Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie. |

1st (5)  (1.62/1 +41%)Dancewiththewind |
1.62/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dancewiththewind 1.62/1, C&D winner in 2020 and showed he retains all his ability on third outing back from a long absence when winning 13-runner Wetherby handicap on Boxing Day. That is solid form and he still looks well treated after a 3 lb rise. | |||
2nd (4)  (7/1 -17%)Ginger Mail |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ginger Mail 7/1, Improved again to double his tally in a 7-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr on reappearance in October but has been a little disappointing in a pair of Class 3s since. Still early in his career but needs to resume his progression. | |||
3rd (3)  (3.5/1 -5%)Thereisnodoubt |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Thereisnodoubt 3.5/1, Well supported and back to his best when gaining his first success for current connections over C&D a month ago. An 8 lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing if turning up in similar form. | |||
4th (1)  (5.5/1 -83%)West Cork |
5.5/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) West Cork 5.5/1, Hasn't taken to fences this term but he's a pretty smart hurdler and returns to the smaller obstacles off a mark 3 lb lower than when second in the Scottish Champion Hurdle last April. | |||
5th (2)  (3.33/1 +5%)Barrichello |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barrichello 3.33/1, Four hurdle wins last season and ran well in defeat over fences first 3 outings this term. Only midfield back hurdling at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago but eased 3 lb and this is less competitive. |

1st (3)  (2.5/1 +25%)Ned Tanner |
2.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ned Tanner 2.5/1, Dual novice hurdle winner last term and confirmed chasing debut promise in 4-runner handicap over C&D in December, staying on to lead run-in. Wasn't fluent to justify support back here last time but it remains early days as a chaser. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.12/1 +23%)Latitude |
2.12/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Latitude 2.12/1, Point/bumper winner who made the perfect start over hurdles when seeing off a next-time-out scorer at Ludlow (21.2f) in January. Good third on return/chase debut at Bangor and again acquitted himself well from an unpromising position at Uttoxeter last time. Solid claims back from a break. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 -67%)Flash Collonges |
3.33/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Flash Collonges 3.33/1, Has still to match his useful hurdles form in this sphere but should find life a bit easier back in handicap company after a break. Couldn't dismiss. | |||
4th (6)  (5.5/1 +15%)Domandlouis |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Domandlouis 5.5/1, Bred more for stamina than speed and displayed much-improved form when landing 6-runner novice hurdle here in May. Failed to build on chase debut promise last time but was surely amiss that day and it remains early days. 7 lb out of the handicap. | |||
5th (4)  (7.5/1 +12%)Hold The Note |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hold The Note 7.5/1, Back to winning ways over C&D in December before stamina seemingly stretched next time. Let down by jumping at Doncaster since but remains well handicapped on old form. |

0.62/1(-72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Secret Investor 0.62/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner hunter chase at Bangor last week and should have little trouble following up. | |||
2nd (5)  (10/1 +50%)Sir Jack Yeats |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sir Jack Yeats 10/1, Fairly useful chaser who was below par last season but made frame on all starts in points and has joined a different stable now. Needs to improve. | |||
3rd (4)  (28/1 -133%)Oscar Wilde |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oscar Wilde 28/1, Fair chaser. 9/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Sue Smith when eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good). Off 8 months and others make more appeal. | |||
4th (3)  (2.5/1 +58%)Gaboriot |
2.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gaboriot 2.5/1, Useful hurdler in France (not quite as good over fences). Shaped with some encouragement on hunter debut at Hereford 18 days ago and looks the main danger to Secret Investor. | |||
|PU| (1)  (22/1 -144%)Rio Des Echanault |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rio Des Echanault 22/1, Has won both starts in hunters and runner-up in a point when last seen almost a year ago. Needs to improve to trouble Secret Investor, though. |

0.62/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kamsinas 0.62/1, Successful sole outing in Irish points last spring and didn't get the chance to show what he could do when sent off favourite for a C&D bumper on Rules debut in November (brought down around 3f out). Interesting candidate. | |||
2nd (1)  (5.5/1 +39%)Balcomie Breeze |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balcomie Breeze 5.5/1, Brought down on debut here in November and subsequently offered something to work on when third of 13 at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft). Should have a part to play in the finish. | |||
3rd (4)  (5/1 +64%)Lune De La Mer |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lune De La Mer 5/1, Half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Printing Dollars. Placed on the third of his 3 starts between the flags last year but probably more one for the longer-term. | |||
4th (6)  (22/1 -100%)Mister Moodles |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mister Moodles 22/1, Fairly encouraging third in a 14-runner AW bumper at Newcastle recently, doing his best work at the finish. Entitled to come on for that run and place possibilities here. | |||
5th (7)  (14/1 -56%)Fox's Fancy |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fox's Fancy 14/1, Closely related to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser One For Arthur and useful hurdler/chaser Forza Milan. Positives to glean from debut fifth of 16 at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) and she's one to consider. | |||
6th (9)  (150/1 -88%)Cave Hill |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cave Hill 150/1, Limited appeal on paper and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. | |||
7th (8)  (80/1 -100%)Adveram |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Adveram 80/1, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam fair 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Yard (also represented by Cave Hill) is 0-25 in bumpers and he's probably best watched on this occasion. | |||
8th (2)  (10/1 -67%)Coogan's Bluff |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coogan's Bluff 10/1, Showed ability when sixth starting out in a Southwell bumper (15.8f, good to soft) in December. That experience won't be wasted on him and could be a threat if settling better this time. | |||
9th (5)  (40/1 -186%)Memento |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Memento 40/1, Offered little on his introduction in a listed bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, good to soft) in November. This is not so competitive but big step forward needed all the same. |

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.
