1.63/1(-1%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kavanaghs Cross 1.63/1, Maiden who looks sure to buck that trend soon, cementing positive start for new yard with placed efforts in handicaps the last twice (third at Cheltenham under this pilot latest). Leading claims. | |||
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 -35%)Rowdy Rustler |
4.5/1(-35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rowdy Rustler 4.5/1, Irish point winner. Had wind op and tongue tied, offered something to work on at the first time of asking over hurdles in competitive Ayr (20.5f) maiden last month. Down in trip and should improve. | |||
3rd (1)  (2.5/1 +25%)Conceroe |
2.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Conceroe 2.5/1, Fairly useful in bumpers, successful at Warwick first time up. Got to be of interest on hurdles debut back from 7 months off. | |||

10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Not What It Seems 10/1, Placed in Wetherby maiden/novice hurdles 6 months apart but well held on handicap debut there (21.2f) 5 weeks ago. More needed back down in trip. | |||

7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Snowy Clouds 7.5/1, Point bumper winner (dead-heated) who offered a fair bit in 17f Carlisle maiden hurdle won by the very promising Nurse Susan last month. Will improve. | |||
6th (7)  (100/1 -203%)Uncle Gez |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Uncle Gez 100/1, Well held in bumpers 5 months apart, showing a bit at Sedgefield first time up. Stacks of stamina in his pedigree. | |||
|PU| (2)  (200/1 -60%)Economic Editor |
200/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Economic Editor 200/1, Limited impact in points and well held in 2 novice hurdles earlier this year. Half-brother to an Irish National winner and handicaps over further will be where his future lies. |

18/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Uptown Harry 18/1, Largely consistent and deservedly opened his account over fences at Perth (23.8f) in May. Below par at Carlisle on return but type to bounce back. Change of headgear. | |||
1st (10)  (4/1 -45%)Breaking The Ice |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Breaking The Ice 4/1, Enjoying a splendid first season over fences and made it 4 wins from his last 6 starts over C&D 4 weeks ago, again making all and jumping well. Up another 6 lb but can go well again. | |||
2nd (1)  (4/1 -45%)Overcourt |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Overcourt 4/1, Ended 2019/20 on the up with hurdle wins at Musselburgh and Newcastle. Much better effort last season when excellent second in Sedgefield maiden on chase bow/return. Open to improvement over fences. | |||
4th (11)  (4/1 +47%)Gipsy Lee Rose |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Gipsy Lee Rose 4/1, Point/hurdles winner. Several placed efforts over fences last season and should be sharper for return here 6 weeks ago. Has been eased another 4 lb. | |||
5th (9)  (16/1 +0%)Ard Chros |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ard Chros 16/1, More miss than hit since his Carlisle success 13 months ago though did end the season with a good second there in a first-time tongue strap. Off 8 months. | |||
6th (5)  (14/1 +30%)Diable De Sivola |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Diable De Sivola 14/1, Useful hurdler/chaser but disappointed all 4 starts last season. At least starts the new campaign potentially well handicapped for new yard. | |||
|PU| (3)  (5.5/1 +31%)Who's In The Box |
5.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Who's In The Box 5.5/1, Improved for a switch to fences last season, scoring at Market Rasen and backing it up with a couple of good seconds. Shaped as if needing return and respected in first-time headgear. | |||
|PU| (2)  (18/1 -157%)Court Dreaming |
18/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Court Dreaming 18/1, Narrow winner over fences at Carlisle (3m) last season off 1 lb higher. Back on track after 4 months off when second of 3 there 7 weeks ago and not taken lightly. | |||
|PU| (8)  (28/1 +0%)Dolly Dancer |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dolly Dancer 28/1, Ended losing run over fences at Hexham (3m) in May but has struggled more recently. Back chasing now. | |||
|PU| (7)  (50/1 -43%)Spider's Bite |
50/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Spider's Bite 50/1, Unreliable type who remains with one standout effort in the last 3 years, so looks best left alone. |

1st (2)  (8/1 -14%)Big River |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Big River 8/1, Veteran with a very good record here, including second on his reappearance 6 weeks ago. All his wins have come in small fields but it still wouldn't be a surprise to see him go well. | |||
2nd (10)  (25/1 -56%)Cash To Ash |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cash To Ash 25/1, Notched second success over fences when landing 3m handicap at Ayr in March. Creditable second on his 3m Wetherby return but he'll need to improve for the much longer trip to take this. | |||
3rd (6)  (22/1 -38%)Innisfree Lad |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Innisfree Lad 22/1, Revitalised last season, winning 5 times (2 hurdle, 3 chase). No more than respectable efforts this term though and will need first-time cheekpieces to give him a bit extra upped markedly in trip. | |||
4th (4)  (50/1 -25%)Dawson City |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dawson City 50/1, Stout stayer who got up late on in a 29f Cartmel veterans' event in May, but well beaten in a deeper race at Cheltenham last month on his sole run since. | |||
5th (5)  (5.5/1 +39%)Amateur |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Amateur 5.5/1, Successful at Newbury and Ffos Las last season. Ran as if needing the run on his Haydock return 15 days ago and better can be expected up in trip now. Considered under Robbie Dunne. | |||
6th (8)  (11/1 +31%)Chidswell |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Chidswell 11/1, Last win came in Grimthorpe at Doncaster in March 2019. Shaped as if he's in reasonable form when fifth on his return from a break at Carlisle 5 weeks ago but others are preferred for win purposes. | |||
7th (1)  (14/1 -133%)Almazhar Garde |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Almazhar Garde 14/1, Useful handicap chaser who picked up a couple of wins last season. Better than ever when second in Southern National at Fontwell last month. Likely to give his running again. | |||
8th (9)  (7.5/1 +25%)Dino Boy |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dino Boy 7.5/1, Won this race 12 months ago and chased home Mighty Thunder at Musselburgh on next start. Good second on Carlisle return but needs to shrug off a lesser run since. | |||
|PU| (12)  (3/1 -20%)Weststreet |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Weststreet 3/1, Just second start for this yard when runner-up at Down Royal (3m) in October. Successful off a higher mark during his time with Oliver Sherwood. Won't want for stamina and big player. | |||
|PU| (7)  (8/1 +33%)Do Not Disturb |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Do Not Disturb 8/1, Completed a course hat-trick when returning from a break to see off 3 rivals over 3m in October. Another decent effort when second at Musselburgh last month but it shows he needs more from this mark. | |||
|PU| (11)  (14/1 +13%)Strong Economy |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Strong Economy 14/1, Dual winner in the mud at Ayr last season. Sound reappearance run at Carlisle 5 weeks ago and this return to a marathon trip promises to suit. Refitting of cheekpieces may also help. | |||
|PU| (13)  (40/1 +39%)Asking For Answers |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Asking For Answers 40/1, Won his first 2 starts last season and returned with another good run when second at Hexham last month. Should stay, but has to race from 15 lb out of the handicap here. |

2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bushypark 2.5/1, Big improver in handicap hurdles last season, completing a 5-timer when making all in extended 3m Haydock contest when last seen in February. Should take to chasing (point winner) and lots to like. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.25/1 -50%)Doyen Breed |
2.25/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Doyen Breed 2.25/1, Built on his promising hurdles return here when making a successful chase debut at Hexham (extended 3m) last month, battling well. Very much one to follow over fences. | |||
|F| (2)  (3/1 +25%)Torigni |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Torigni 3/1, Useful hurdler who matched that form despite failing to justify support on chase debut at Market Rasen (21.4f) last month (lost shoe). Dropped 2 lb and every chance he'll do better. Headgear goes on. | |||
|U| (4)  (7/1 -8%)Illegal Model |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Illegal Model 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Didn't look the finished article in handicaps in that sphere last season and likely to do just as good over fences, though returns in a hot little contest. |

6.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Flower Of Scotland 6.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser in France. Off mark at fourth attempt for this yard when seeing off 2 rivals in novice chase here in March. Didn't show much on return and not as good over timber. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.33/1 -33%)Motown Maggie |
3.33/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Motown Maggie 3.33/1, Went with more verve fitted with cheekpieces when landing big-field 19.5f maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse a month ago. That form puts her right in the mix. | |||
3rd (1)  (18/1 -64%)Fiadh |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fiadh 18/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers and was found a weak race when successful over hurdles at Newcastle 17 days ago. Much more to do under a penalty re-opposing The Player Queen. | |||
4th (4)  (20/1 -208%)West End Lady |
20/1(-208%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) West End Lady 20/1, Off 5 months before opening account in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham in October. Runner-up under a penalty back at that venue last time and she ought to remain competitive. | |||
5th (3)  (11/1 -1000%)The Player Queen |
11/1(-1000%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Player Queen 11/1, Successful only point run and made a winning start under Rules in a Cheltenham bumper in May. Changed hands for £140,000 and looked useful when an easy scorer on hurdles bow at Ayr for new yard. | |||
|F| (5)  (250/1 -150%)Arcandy |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Arcandy 250/1, Held back by jumping on hurdles debut and then refused to race at Ayr, so best left alone. | |||
|PU| (6)  (200/1 -100%)Etoile D'Ecosse |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Etoile D'Ecosse 200/1, Minor promise only in 4 runs and probably one for further down the line. Has had a wind op. |

2nd (8)  (12/1 -50%)Hungry Tiger |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hungry Tiger 12/1, Ex-Irish chase winner who comes here in good order. second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f) 31 days ago. Can't be discounted switched to hurdles. | |||
3rd (4)  (12/1 -85%)Fever Roque |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fever Roque 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months but he posted best run when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f) 24 days ago. In the mix if building on that. | |||
4th (14)  (20/1 -43%)Silk Or Scarlet |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Silk Or Scarlet 20/1, Winner at Perth in May but well held after 6 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap here (20.9f) 29 days ago. Should strip fitter now, so he's no forlorn hope. | |||
5th (3)  (66/1 -450%)Definite Wisdom |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Definite Wisdom 66/1, Dual chase winner but pulled up in handicap chase on return here 63 days ago. Reverts to hurdles now with a bit to prove. | |||

7th (5)  (125/1 -346%)Dr Shirocco |
125/1(-346%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dr Shirocco 125/1, Still a maiden, and he came in last of 7 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f) 27 days ago. Others are preferred. | |||
8th (2)  (80/1 -700%)The Jad Factor |
80/1(-700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Jad Factor 80/1, Failed to confirm form of his novice hurdle fourth here when below-par fifth at Ayr (2m) 19 days ago. Needs to bounce back upped in trip on handicap debut. | |||
9th (9)  (66/1 -164%)Well Cliche |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Well Cliche 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced on handicap bow when eighth of 14 at Sedgefield (21.2f) 31 days ago. Needs a bit more if she's to open her account here though. | |||
|PU| (6)  (100/1 -614%)Tartan Cookie |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tartan Cookie 100/1, Fair maiden hurdler but well held at Hexham 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on, and more needed going into handicaps now upped markedly in trip. | |||

|PU| (13)  (125/1 -213%)Any Job Will Do |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Any Job Will Do 125/1, Offered little after 6 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle here (20.9f) 29 days ago. Has work to do if he's to gain a breakthrough success here. | |||
|PU| (11)  (150/1 -500%)Farocco |

2.5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wor Verge 2.5/1, In good form through the spring and proved better than ever in first-time cheekpieces to record a third career victory at Newcastle 17 days ago. Looks sure to be bang there in his current mood. | |||
2nd (6)  (16/1 -33%)Duty Calls |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Duty Calls 16/1, Fair form over fences in Ireland and shaped a bit better than the result on hurdling/yard debut at Kelso 6 weeks ago. It's possible that he may find a few too strong making his handicap debut. | |||
3rd (5)  (2.75/1 +31%)Lock Down Luke |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lock Down Luke 2.75/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who made a positive start to this season when third in Kelso novice in October. Not beaten far despite sketchy round of jumping on handicap bow recently so not dismissed. | |||
4th (1)  (2.25/1 -13%)Malpas |
2.25/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Malpas 2.25/1, Improved in jumping department to land novice at Carlisle on return and drop back to this trip a likely plus given he didn't appear to relish 2½m on handicap debut last time. Worth a second look. | |||
6th (4)  (28/1 -12%)Jack Yeats |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jack Yeats 28/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and promising hurdles debut (for John Halley) when third at Limerick in June 2020. Little impact in various race-types for this yard, though, and it's best to look elsewhere. |

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.
