3
3/1(+25%)

(2) Pay The Piper 2.25/1, Useful over hurdles and quickly made up into an even better chaser last season, scoring at Newcastle before good seconds at Wetherby and Musselburgh. Excuses last 2 starts (shaped as if needing return) and remains of interest.

Cornerstone Lad
28
28/1(-100%)
(1) Cornerstone Lad 28/1, Smart hurdler who opened chase account with cheekpieces refitted at Wetherby in January. Twice beaten in small field since and essentially isn't quite as good over fences as hurdles. Been off 8 months.

Clonguile Way
16
16/1(+20%)
(13) Clonguile Way 16/1, Ended a losing run at Wexford in May and he wasn't disgraced when fifth in 3m1f handicap at Cheltenham last month. Others look better treated at these weights though.

Cyclop
14
14/1(-75%)
(2) Cyclop 14/1, Mulitple winner over hurdles/fences during 2020/21 for Matt Sheppard. Only had three runs since for current yard but he posted a good third in handicap chase at Fontwell (27.7f) 21 days ago when left poorly placed. Cheekpieces go back on and he's in the mix.
3

All About Joe
7.5
7.5/1(-67%)
(3) All About Joe 7.5/1, Made a successful start over fences at Cartmel (21f) in June and added to that when landing 8-runner handicap at Sedgefield (29.2f) 49 days ago. Up another 5 lb but he's still not taken lightly.
6
5th (6) Fiveaftermidnight (25/1 +0%)
Fiveaftermidnight
25
25/1(+0%)
(6) Fiveaftermidnight 25/1, Irish chaser who comes here on the back of a good third of 12 in handicap at Punchestown (21.2f) in April. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and she can't be discounted after her break.
5

Cash To Ash
5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(5) Cash To Ash 5.5/1, Resumed with a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f) 36 days ago. Effective at this much longer trip and needs considering.

Wake Up Early
12
12/1(+0%)
(8) Wake Up Early 12/1, In good form for his new yard during the spring, scoring at Fakenham and Market Rasen, and he resumed from 6 months off with good Musselburgh second in 31.5f handicap. One for the shortlist.

|F| (7) Niceandeasy (14/1 -40%)
Niceandeasy
14
14/1(-40%)
(7) Niceandeasy 14/1, Took well to fences last season, winning twice, and he looked rusty after 8 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (26.2f) 35 days ago. Another who can't be discounted now steppng back up in trip.
4
|PU| (4) The Ferry Master (4/1 +20%)
The Ferry Master
4
4/1(+20%)
(4) The Ferry Master 4/1, Progressed very well over fences in 2020/21, winning twice before fourth in Scottish Grand National here. He should strip fitter for his reappearance fifth at Ayr over an inadequate 2m4f and this course winner is weighted to have a big say.
10
|PU| (10) Breaking The Ice (12/1 +25%)
Breaking The Ice
12
12/1(+25%)
(10) Breaking The Ice 12/1, Enjoyed a splendid first season over fences, completing a course hat-trick here, and picked up where he left off with victory at Hexham in October. Not disgraced off a 7 lb higher mark despite coming in last of 8 in handicap here last time so is in the picture.
1
|PU| (1) Big River (16/1 -113%)
Big River
16
16/1(-113%)
(1) Big River 16/1, Veteran staying chaser who is a 5-time course winner and also landed this event 12 months ago. Off 7 months before never-dangerous seventh here (26.2f) in October so no surprise to see him take a big step forward now.
9
|PU| (9) Donna's Delight (18/1 +18%)
Donna's Delight
18
18/1(+18%)
(9) Donna's Delight 18/1, Looked in need of the run after 8 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f) 25 days ago. Lightly raced since scoring twice in early 2020 so he can't be ruled out if taking a step forward now.
12
|PU| (12) Buddha Scheme (20/1 +9%)
Buddha Scheme
20
20/1(+9%)
(12) Buddha Scheme 20/1, Fair handicap chaser who was well served by emphasis on stamina when scoring here last December. Posted a good third at Ayr (3m) last month on his only run since so he's considered back over further despite being 2 lb out of the handicap.

1.2

Runner-up sole start in Irish points earlier this year and went one place better on hurdles debut a month ago. That race ultimately cut up but she is capable of better.

(3) Aubis Walk 1.5/1, Fetched £120,000 after landing an Irish maiden point last year and promising start under Rules when runner-up in a mares' novice at Perth (16.2f, soft) in April. Open to improvement so may well go one better on return upped in trip.

(2) Apple Away 1.75/1, £35,000 5-y-o. Arctic Cosmos mare. Dam, point winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 3m) Dr Des.

Economic Editor

Lewa House

(8) Lewa House 3.33/1, Lightly raced for current yard and dug deep to land a big-field handicap at Hexham last time. Only up 1 lb for that and seems likely to give another good account.

Socks Off
25

Traprain Law
6.5
6.5/1(+0%)
(3) Traprain Law 6.5/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles in France and offered something to work on for new yard when runner-up in C&D novice in October. Ridden in contrast but failed to take a step forward on handicap debut at Ayr last time but he's had a wind op since and it's too soon to be writing him off.

(1) Dancewiththewind 4.5/1, On the up when winning a pair of 2m handicaps in autumn 2020 (including over C&D). As anticipated shaped very much as if needing the run after 2 years off at Wetherby (19.7f, good) recently and this outing should reveal plenty.

(4) Evita Du Mesnil 11/1, Strong traveller who tasted success twice during 2021/22 (including over C&D). Best effort yet when runner-up on return/yard debut over C&D in October but not in the same form on both subsequent outings so she must bounce back.
9

5

Three Platoon
5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(5) Three Platoon 5.5/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (well held both starts this summer). Sound enough start to hurdles career in recent months, although he failed to improve for the switch to handicaps at Market Rasen last month. Each-way claims.
8

2.75
2.75/1(+31%)
(8) Mr Globalist 2.75/1, Irish raider who belatedly matched the form of his hurdling debut when fifth in juvenile event at Galway just over 5 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut today and the sole 3-y-o in the line-up warrants plenty of respect on his first start on these shores.

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. 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.
