1st (2)  (3.33/1 +17%)Cuban Cigar |
3.33/1(+17%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cuban Cigar 3.33/1, Fair on the Flat (stays 1¼m) and similar form when twice a runner-up over timber for Richard Hannon. Well held in stronger company at Haydock for new yard recently but this rates much more suitable. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.5/1 -36%)Genuflex |
1.5/1(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Genuflex 1.5/1, Landed a juvenile maiden at Sedgefield (16.8f) in October prior to a good second in listed Wensleydale at Wetherby. Exploits mixed subsequently but claims if dispelling latest Warwick run. | |||
3rd (5)  (14/1 +44%)Ultra Violet |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ultra Violet 14/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France but only one real effort of note over timber for new yard and he was well held in a C&D novice on his latest start 4 weeks ago. More needed. | |||
4th (4)  (2.25/1 +0%)Lightening Company |
2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lightening Company 2.25/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler Mr Chua (19f winner). Fairly useful form on Flat up to 1m, running best race to date when runner-up at Newcastle (1m) in January. Market should guide now hurdling. | |||
5th (3)  (11/1 +45%)Johnny Boom |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Johnny Boom 11/1, Fair 3-time Flat winner (stays 1¼m) for Richard Fahey but low-key start over hurdles/on Flat for new yard, pulled up at Wetherby (2m) on latest start in January. Subsequent wind op may help now. |

1st (7)  (16/1 +0%)Nells Son |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Nells Son 16/1, Useful bumper scorer who made a winning start over hurdles at this track in October. Better form when second at Ayr since but was let down by jumping when fourth in Grade 2 at Haydock 6 weeks ago. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.5/1 -11%)North Lodge |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) North Lodge 2.5/1, Son of Presenting who produced a professional display to make a winning start at Aintree in December. Built on that when landing Grade 2 at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago and he's likely to progress further. | |||
3rd (2)  (5/1 +38%)Bold Endeavour |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bold Endeavour 5/1, Successful on sole outing in points and won both a Sedgefield bumper/maiden hurdle. Took form up a notch to maintain unbeaten record at Wetherby since but will need another step forward to feature. | |||
4th (5)  (18/1 -29%)Honneur D'ajonc |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Honneur D'ajonc 18/1, Didn't need to improve to defy his penalties to rack up a fourth win from his last 6 starts at Wincanton last month. Straightforward as he is consistent, but likely to come up short in this company. | |||
5th (6)  (16/1 -14%)It's Good To Laugh |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) It's Good To Laugh 16/1, Useful Flat handicapper who made it 3-4 over hurdles in facile style up in trip, despite another sloppy round of jumping, at Catterick just over 5 weeks ago. Will need to jump better to get involved. | |||
6th (9)  (6/1 -20%)Sholokjack |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sholokjack 6/1, Won sole start in Irish points and took record to 2-2 over hurdles with more in hand than the winning margin suggested at Wetherby last time. Shortlisted with further improvement on the cards. | |||
|B| (4)  (18/1 +28%)Donny Boy |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Donny Boy 18/1, Won sole start in Irish points and has added bumper and maiden hurdle successes for his new yard in recent months. Too keen when sixth behind Jonbon 6 weeks ago so others make more appeal. | |||
|F| (8)  (2.5/1 +9%)Richmond Lake |
2.5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Richmond Lake 2.5/1, Useful novice who made most of a good opportunity to land hurdle win number 2 at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Bettered that form since, just 3 lengths behind Jonbon at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Shortlisted. | |||
|PU| (3)  (25/1 +0%)Datsalrightgino |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Datsalrightgino 25/1, Fairly useful and consistent in bumpers last season and won his first 2 starts over timber (novices at Fontwell and Cheltenham). Ran no sort of race in Tolworth at Sandown so must bounce back. |

1.88/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Famous Bridge 1.88/1, Third in an Irish bumper and made his second hurdle start a winning one at Ayr in November. Allotted a lenient mark but failed to take advantage over C&D latest, unseating rider. More to come. | |||
2nd (12)  (4.5/1 +36%)Kaizer |
4.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Kaizer 4.5/1, Down in the weights and confirmed the promise of his Newcastle run when landing 8-runner handicap over 25.8f here a month ago. Retains handicap scope so has to be of interest. | |||
3rd (10)  (10/1 -25%)Aurora Thunder |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Aurora Thunder 10/1, Back to form when landing 8-runner event at Musselburgh in January and emerged with plenty of credit when rallying for second having been hampered over C&D a month ago. | |||
4th (3)  (6/1 +33%)Elvis Mail |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Elvis Mail 6/1, Useful hurdler/chaser with good record at this track, barely adequate test when runner-up to Stainsby Girl in brace of 2m handicaps here of late. Step back up in trip will suit but this a deeper race. | |||
5th (6)  (9/1 -13%)One Night In Milan |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) One Night In Milan 9/1, Back from the Flat with good efforts at Wetherby and Musselburgh to end 2021. Unable to continue the good work since. | |||
6th (4)  (11/1 -10%)N'golo |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) N'golo 11/1, Useful performer in his pomp for Willie Mullins and, while he struggled on the Flat in the autumn, he made a respectable stable debut when fourth at Haydock. Held back by his jumping at Ascot. | |||
7th (1)  (9/1 -80%)Wilde About Oscar |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wilde About Oscar 9/1, Smart novice hurdler last term who faded after travelling well for long way on 2½m Aintree reappearance. Nowhere near that level twice since but cheekpieces now on and given a chance by the assessor. | |||
|PU| (9)  (18/1 +10%)Democratic Oath |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Democratic Oath 18/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles who faced a stiff task from 13 lb out of the handicap on chase/yard debut at Newcastle. Pulled up at Ayr since and quickly back over timber. | |||
|PU| (2)  (28/1 -56%)Flash The Steel |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flash The Steel 28/1, Career-best effort when landing Newbury handicap in November 2020. Missed all of last year and pulled on February's reappearance so has a fair bit to prove at present. | |||
|PU| (7)  (33/1 -18%)Get Out The Gate |
33/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Get Out The Gate 33/1, Landed back-to-back Perth handicaps over fences in July, latterly in taking fashion to score by 14 lengths. Off since September and lower hurdles mark looks justified. |

18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Nuts Well 18/1, Likeable type who scored here (17f) on return and not disgraced at Aintree and Wetherby next 2 starts. However, failed to stay when stepped up to this trip in Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster 5 weeks ago. | |||
2nd (6)  (25/1 -14%)Hill Sixteen |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hill Sixteen 25/1, Useful chaser who was back to form on just second start for this yard when just failing in Becher at Aintree. However, never competitive in Welsh National and remote fourth in Sky Bet at Doncaster. | |||
3rd (5)  (1.25/1 +17%)Espoir De Romay |
1.25/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Espoir De Romay 1.25/1, Progressive sort who was set to go very close before falling 2 out in Aintree Grade 1 novice final start last term. Proved a let-down at Carlisle on return in October but well worth another chance. | |||
4th (3)  (6.5/1 +19%)Big River |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Big River 6.5/1, Veteran staying chaser who has a very good record at this track, resuming winning ways in the Borders National (32.4f) before following up in 4-runner handicap over C&D. Bit to find here, though. | |||
5th (4)  (8/1 -7%)Dingo Dollar |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dingo Dollar 8/1, Front runner who was revived by this yard last season, scoring at Newcastle before second in the Scottish Grand National. Built on return when third in the Rehearsal Chase and not taken lightly. | |||
|PU| (7)  (3.5/1 +13%)Itchy Feet |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Itchy Feet 3.5/1, Grade 1 novice winner over fences and creditable efforts with cheekpieces fitted this term, not beaten far in a smart field at Lingfield latest. Blinkers now tried, though stamina a slight concern. | |||
|PU| (2)  (7/1 -17%)Windsor Avenue |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Windsor Avenue 7/1, Not the most consistent nowadays but back to his very best in first-time blinkers when winning Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster 5 weeks ago. This field will be a lot harder to dominate, however. |

1st (7)  (8/1 -14%)Cormier |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cormier 8/1, Dual winner on Flat last year and notched a first handicap success over hurdles when seeing off 11 rivals at Cheltenham in January. Ought to remain very competitive after a 4 lb rise. | |||
2nd (5)  (10/1 +17%)Saint D'oroux |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Saint D'oroux 10/1, Weak in betting but it didn't stop him making winning start for new yard over 21f here last month. 3 lb higher in stronger race now but he's held his own in competitive handicaps before. Fine at 2m. | |||
3rd (4)  (12/1 +0%)Faivoir |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Faivoir 12/1, Very useful hurdler who quickly matched that form over fences this term, winning twice. Stiff task in Wincanton Grade 2 back hurdling latest and this more realistic. | |||
4th (11)  (6.5/1 +28%)Severance |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Severance 6.5/1, Useful on Flat and made winning debut over hurdles in November 2020. Hasn't kicked on from that but ran well back around 2m when chasing home Cormier at Cheltenham latest. 2 lb out of handicap. | |||
5th (6)  (14/1 +13%)Voix Du Reve |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Voix Du Reve 14/1, Smart at best and, having been given chance by the handicapper, he's shown he retains plenty of ability when placed on his latest 2 outings (2½ lengths third to Saint d'Oroux over 21f here latterly). | |||
6th (12)  (28/1 +0%)Thereisnodoubt |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Thereisnodoubt 28/1, Pair of good runner-up efforts around 19f since joining this stable but has to race from 4 lb out of the handicap on this occasion and he'll need a career best to resume winning ways. | |||
7th (3)  (3/1 +10%)Metier |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Metier 3/1, Won Grade 1 Tolworth as a novice and got career back on track when landing a valuable Lingfield handicap (2m, soft) in January. Goes very well in mud so chance boosted if rain arrives. | |||
8th (2)  (5/1 +0%)Autumn Evening |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Autumn Evening 5/1, Dual hurdle winner this season who ran a cracker when third of 27 in a Leopardstown handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival. This Irish raider merits plenty of respect. | |||
9th (1)  (9/1 -29%)Buveur D'Air |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Buveur D'Air 9/1, Dual Champion Hurdle winner. Very lightly raced in recent years but Grade 1 fourth last April shows he's still very smart. Off since but no shock were he still classy enough to give the weight away. | |||
10th (8)  (9/1 +10%)Balko Saint |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Balko Saint 9/1, Third hurdle success when winning a small-field Kempton listed novice in October. Well held at a similar level over fences in France since but much better can be expected back hurdling. | |||
11th (10)  (50/1 -52%)Some Reign |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Some Reign 50/1, Better than ever when landing a third chase success in 2m Musselburgh handicap when last seen in October. C&D winner but that was a maiden in 2017. Hard to assess back hurdling. |

8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Glentruan 8/1, Doubled hurdles tally when dead-heating in 20.5f Ayr handicap before Christmas on first start for Ann Duffield. Badly needed experience on chasing bow in September but should do better (had wind op). | |||
1st (7)  (3/1 +33%)Dubai Days |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dubai Days 3/1, Multiple hurdles winner who opened chase account in 4-runner novices' handicap at Ayr (20.5f) in December. Left poorly placed when third at Sedgefield prior to unseating his rider over C&D last time. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.75/1 -10%)Hardy Du Seuil |
2.75/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hardy Du Seuil 2.75/1, Doubled his tally over fences when finding plenty to take 2m Hereford novice handicap in December. Beaten only by a smart one up in grade at Haydock since, so big player back in handicap company. | |||
3rd (6)  (4.5/1 +18%)Seemorelights |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Seemorelights 4.5/1, Bounced back to his best when opening his chase account in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr in January. Just as good when second from 4 lb higher back there last time and seems sure to go well again. | |||
4th (3)  (18/1 -100%)Dino Velvet |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dino Velvet 18/1, Four-time hurdle winner who extended his run of small-field placings when second in 4-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good to soft) in November. Off since and needs to pull out a bit more. | |||
5th (4)  (3.5/1 +53%)Gold Des Bois |
3.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gold Des Bois 3.5/1, Hurdles/chase winner in Ireland who filled the runner-up spot for the fourth outing in succession at Musselburgh in October. Ran up to his best on completed start since but looks summed up by mark. | |||
6th (2)  (7/1 -40%)Heartbreak Kid |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Heartbreak Kid 7/1, Off the mark at the eighth attempt over fences at Sedgefield in January. Found plenty for pressure to follow up at Uttoxeter (2m) 3 weeks ago and has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. |

4.5/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Big Jetaway 4.5/1, Justified strong market support to make a winning chasing debut in 17f handicap at Sedgefield 24 days ago. Has plenty more to offer, and is very much the one to beat despite taking a 5 lb rise. | |||
1st (7)  (2.5/1 +29%)Wheelbahri |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wheelbahri 2.5/1, Jumped better than is often the case when bagging 2m handicaps at Catterick and Sedgefield last month. Has a career-high mark to overcome now but he remains high on the shortlist. | |||
2nd (6)  (3.5/1 +75%)Fourth Of July |
3.5/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fourth Of July 3.5/1, Landed this contest 12 months ago, and he should strip fitter for his recent eighth over hurdles here after a lay-off. Highly respected. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -20%)Lucky Flight |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lucky Flight 6/1, It's now eleven runs since his last win, but he's running well, fourth of 7 in 2m handicap at Musselburgh 27 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. | |||
4th (8)  (6/1 +40%)Lastin' Memories |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lastin' Memories 6/1, C&D winner who possibly found the race coming too soon when fourth of 5 to The Big Jetaway at Sedgefield (17f) 24 days ago. No forlorn hope eased 2 lb now. | |||
5th (3)  (3.5/1 +13%)Here We Have It |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Here We Have It 3.5/1, Got off the mark in 2m handicap chase at Leicester 16 days ago, suited by the emphasis on stamina. 4 lb higher now but he's still low mileage and needs considering. | |||
|F| (4)  (9/1 +36%)Anightinlambourn |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Anightinlambourn 9/1, Fair 2m winner over hurdles, but she performed below that level on her chasing bow when fifth of 12 in 20f handicap at Leicester 39 days ago. Needs to step forward. |

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.
