The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
NINTH LOCH showed promise in a bumper at the Punchestown festival before beating a subsequent winner at Kilbeggan in June. Willie Mullins' gelding was soundly beaten in a Flat maiden at Galway but at least that run will have advanced his fitness and he can make a winning debut in this sphere. The Wallpark was second in a 20-runner maiden hurdle at Down Royal last year for his previous handler and landed a Downpatrick bumper on his first start for Gordon Elliott in May. His jumping experience will be an asset, while Morph Speed is a five-time winner on the Flat and landed a valuable 1m6f handicap at this venue last year. Rated in the mid-80s on the level, he'll be a big player if taking to hurdles.
THE WALLPARK got off the mark starting out for this yard in a Downpatrick bumper and sets the standard back over hurdles. Bumper-winner Ninth Loch is an obvious threat starting out on this sphere, with Minella Diamond and Spy other likely contenders.

1st (2) (5/1 +64%) General Clermont |
5/1(+64%) | (2) General Clermont 5/1, Unreliable individual. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Wexford (24.5f, good) 66 days ago, weakening soon after 3 out. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 29-race maiden has run well here on occasions but pulled up last twice and hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 -84%) Mr Social |
3/1(-84%) | (4) Mr Social 3/1, Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good, 9/2) 9 days ago. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated. Tramore winner up 6lb but could still have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 +38%) Battle Away |
5/1(+38%) | (1) Battle Away 5/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 4 runs last season. Below par when last seen at Navan in November but can go well fresh and returns on a workable mark, Won off a long break last summer so lack of a recent run not a concern; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (17) (3/1 +40%) Walk In Time |
3/1(+40%) | (17) Walk In Time 3/1, Winner in hurdle at Tipperary in July. 6/1, creditable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Can make presence felt. RESERVE. Trip inadequate at Cork; longer trip to suit and big player if getting a run; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (25/1 +24%) U Asking Me |
25/1(+24%) | (7) U Asking Me 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, 36 lengths thirteenth of 16 to Mr Social in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good) 9 days ago. Work to do. Opening handicap effort at Tramore leaves him with lots to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (28/1 +30%) Up She Flew |
28/1(+30%) | (12) Up She Flew 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Others look better treated. Reportedly got tired on this month's Cork comeback; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (25/1 -14%) Added Bonus |
25/1(-14%) | (14) Added Bonus 25/1, One win from 30 NH runs. 22/1, fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft) 30 days ago. Others preferred. Bad mistake and possibly didn't stay; down to career-low mark so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (14/1 +13%) Depeche Mo |
14/1(+13%) | (5) Depeche Mo 14/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Enters calculations. Second placing at Wexford in May seemed to offer hope but has failed to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (12/1 -71%) Slaney Bank |
12/1(-71%) | (6) Slaney Bank 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who found improvement when fourth of 15 on handicap hurdle debut at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One for shortlist. Encouraging handicap debut here last month puts him in the mix; cheekpieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (16) (66/1 +0%) Oh'herewego |
66/1(+0%) | (16) Oh'herewego 66/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 66/1, eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, soft) 134 days ago. Up against it. Four wins came some time ago, soundly beaten when last seen in April; hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (22/1 +45%) Ardad Derek |
22/1(+45%) | (11) Ardad Derek 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Wexford (16.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Up in trip. Work to do. Tiny bit of promise in Kilbeggan maiden in April; Wexford handicap debut effort was poor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (16/1 +36%) Eastern Tornado |
16/1(+36%) | (15) Eastern Tornado 16/1, Bit below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at this course (20f, good) 37 days ago. Claims on best form. Better for last month's C&D comeback so can't be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (20/1 +39%) Shes My Getaway |
20/1(+39%) | (10) Shes My Getaway 20/1, Seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, soft, 22/1) 15 days ago. Improvement required. No show in 3 handicaps so far; down 6lb from opening mark so not one to readily dismiss. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MR SOCIAL built on an encouraging fourth at Downpatrick to get off the mark over this distance at Tramore just over a week ago. The Getaway gelding has scope for further improvement and can defy a 6lb hike in the ratings. Battle Away won over C&D last July after an absence of almost three years. That was her first start for Ross O'Sullivan and she followed up at Cork. Her mark has come down enough for her to compete again in this grade and her layoff is obviously of no concern. Slaney Bank, fourth on handicap debut at Kilbeggan last month, has cheekpieces fitted for the first time and represents a yard whose runners always command respect.
MR SOCIAL was having just his fourth handicap start when getting off the mark at Tramore last week and still looks feasibly treated. He can follow up. Slaney Bank and Battle Away head the list of dangers.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (14/1 +36%) Amazing Amy |
14/1(+36%) | (8) Amazing Amy 14/1, 25/1, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Trip inadequate on recent handicap debut at Tramore so more expected upped in trip. |

3.5/1(-40%) | (1) Hard Target 3.5/1, Creditable second of 16 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Tramore (20.5f, good) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Model of consistency in this grade of late, deserves a change of luck. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (12/1 +40%) Cathys Quest |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Cathys Quest 12/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft, 28/1) 36 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discredited at Kilbeggan; blinkers replace cheekpieces and may have more to offer. |

5th (7) (7/1 +0%) Man After Midnight |
7/1(+0%) | (7) Man After Midnight 7/1, Fell in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, soft, 6/1) 15 days ago. Each-way chance granted a clear round here. C&D third last month reads well; faller since but interest remains. |

6th (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Galmar |
7.5/1(-7%) | (4) Galmar 7.5/1, Below form ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 4/1) 30 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Let down by jumping last time but previous Tipperary third would put him in the mix. |

7th (17) (28/1 +0%) Costaweefortune |
28/1(+0%) | (17) Costaweefortune 28/1, Twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 149 days ago. RESERVE. Nothing as yet, dropping away tamely in 2m6f Limerick handicap in March on latest; reserve. |

33/1(+0%) | (16) Share The Joy 33/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 28/1) 30 days ago, yet to be asked for effort when badly hampered 4 out. Nothing as yet in handicaps although badly hampered before pulled up at Limerick on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (2.75/1 +8%) Black Tonic |
2.75/1(+8%) | (2) Black Tonic 2.75/1, Good fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 5/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Has good chance on form. Needs to settle better but definite claims and trip could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (14/1 +0%) In A Nice Way |
14/1(+0%) | (3) In A Nice Way 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Limerick (19f, good to soft) 92 days ago. Mild promise in first-time cheekpieces on latest but plenty more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (40/1 +0%) Celtic Light |
40/1(+0%) | (10) Celtic Light 40/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 36 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Two handicap efforts underwhelming; tongue tie now added to cheekpieces tried last time. |

12th (11) (22/1 +56%) Willie Bob |
22/1(+56%) | (11) Willie Bob 22/1, 40/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good) 37 days ago. Nothing so far in handicaps, latest over C&D last month when plenty keen after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (66/1 -65%) No Logic |
66/1(-65%) | (6) No Logic 66/1, Unreliable sort. First run since leaving John McConnell when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 50/1) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Pulled up after never counting on Limerick comeback last month; best watched for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The performance of Mr Social in the first division of this handicap will be of no little relevance to this contest as HARD TARGET chased home that horse at Tramore just over a week ago. The top weight, a winner at Clonmel during the winter, has strung together a sequence of creditable placed efforts this summer which includes a runner-up finish over C&D last month. Man After Midnight was five lengths behind the selection here in July and that was her best effort so far. If showing no ill effects from a fall at Wexford, she can throw down a challenge. Black Tonic kept on nicely into fifth at Kilbeggan on his first completed start for Richard O'Brien and this half-mile longer trip may see him in a better light.
BLACK TONIC shaped well on his second start for this yard at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago, leaving the strong impression that he would be well-served by this step up in trip. He makes a fair bit of appeal now faced with a stiffer test off the same mark. The consistent Hard Target looks sure to be involved and is next on the list ahead of Galmar and Man After Midnight.

0.8/1(+64%) | (10) We'llhavewan 0.8/1, Respectable ninth of 20 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Galway (16f, good) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Big player back in slightly calmer waters. Gives impression he still has more to offer off this mark and trip/ground ideal. |

2nd (1) (7/1 +50%) Happy Jacky |
7/1(+50%) | (1) Happy Jacky 7/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (16.8f, good to soft, 25/1) 39 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle run. C&D winner last year but opposable on restricted evidence this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 +0%) Shannon Glory |
10/1(+0%) | (9) Shannon Glory 10/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last season. Fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle (7/1) at this course (20f, good) 37 days ago, broke blood vessel when. Dropped out tamely (blood in nostrils) here last month which raises questions. |

Without success for over three years; absent since Punchestown festival and hard to fancy. |

8.5/1(-6%) | (5) Au Fleuron 8.5/1, Ninth of 12 in novice chase (15/2) at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 43 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Well held in competitive handicaps in the spring; tailed off over fences latest. |

7th (4) (8/1 -100%) Foveros |
8/1(-100%) | (4) Foveros 8/1, 14/1, respectable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.6f, soft) 21 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Never counted at Galway; balance of form is on softer ground. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WE'LLHAVEWAN got a big hike in the ratings for a decisive success at Ballinrobe in May and had a break before being unplaced in two outings at the Galway Festival. He wasn't beaten far when sixth of 20 over this trip on his first run at Ballybrit and gets in at the foot of the weights here. Au Fleuron is the choice of Jack Kennedy over Gordon Elliott's other runner Tullybeg who landed a valuable prize over fences at Ballinrobe earlier in the summer. The Crillon gelding has been disappointing in recent starts but his run in the conditional riders' handicap at Cheltenham in March was creditable and he should benefit from this drop in grade. Futurum Regem had a pipe-opener on the Flat recently when showing up well at Leopardstown and has no weight on his back. Below par last year, a return to the form he showed in late 2021 would see him involved and he'll relish this trip.
WE'LLHAVEWAN ran with credit in a pair of big-field handicaps at Galway at the beginning of the month and can provide the Willie Mullins yard with a second successive win in this contest. Stablemate Foveros is another who arrives on the back of a fair run at Galway and is second choice ahead of Shannon Glory, who should be spot on for this after a decent effort on the Flat on his recent reappearance.

12/1(+25%) | (4) Garrybello 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fourth of 7 in novice chase at Roscommon (16.4f, soft, 5/1) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Should have more to offer. Made a bad mid-race mistake on his chase debut at Roscommon, for which he was only 5-1. |

|PU| (6) (125/1 -25%) Just For Yuse |
125/1(-25%) | (6) Just For Yuse 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Last of 10 in claimer at Laytown (7f, 14/1). Off 11 months. Makes chase debut. First run for yard after leaving T. G. McCourt. Below form on last hurdle outing. Tailed off in a Laytown claimer (Flat) when last seen nearly a year ago. |

CAPTAIN CONBY didn't quite live up to expectations over hurdles but still showed a high level of ability and can make a winning start over fences. A dual winner at Punchestown, Dusty Sheehy's charge ran creditably in competitive handicaps at that venue last term and went well for a long way when sixth in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham. Keith Donoghue is an ideal jockey to guide him around over the larger obstacles. Henry de Bromhead starts off Flat-breds Annexation and Great Bear over fences and both merit respect. The former was the higher-rated of the pair over hurdles and was second to an in-form rival at Downpatrick recently, while Great Bear, a winner on the Flat at this venue, landed a maiden at Cork on his penultimate start. Walnut Beach, narrowly beaten on his second chase start at Tipperary last month, ran as well as could be expected when third to Sharjah at Galway and his experience will be an asset.
WALNUT BEACH has some pretty useful form over fences and is the percentage call, although Henry de Bromhead has a good record in this race and his chase newcomer Annexation could pose a big threat if taking to this new discipline. Captain Conby is another who could have a part to play if he can translate anything like his hurdle ability to fences.

1st (1) (1/1 +0%) Salvador Ziggy |
1/1(+0%) | (1) Salvador Ziggy 1/1, Promising individual. Four wins from 7 runs last season. Career best when winning 7-runner minor event chase at Tramore (21.6f, heavy, 4/7) 8 days ago, forging clear. Looks a potenitally useful recruit to this sphere. 145-rated hurdler is 2-2 chasing and stiffest task yet but could well be up to it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (0.8/1 +51%) Toss Again |
0.8/1(+51%) | (3) Toss Again 0.8/1, Useful chaser. Two wins from 6 runs last season. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good, 11/2) 22 days ago, driven out. Further progress likely and he's a major player. Impressive Galway Blazers winner with ground still in his favour; big player. |

The Gordon Elliott-trained SALVADOR ZIGGY can maintain his unbeaten record over fences by completing the hat-trick. Easily the best of these over hurdles, the seven-year-old showed that he was good enough to compete on the biggest stage when runner-up in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in March. Since switching his attention to chasing, the gelding has impressed with two thoroughly professional efforts. It will take a smart novice to lower his colours at this early stage of the season. Toss Again was rated 20lb below Salvador Ziggy over flights but has looked a much better horse over fences in two starts to date. He, too, has a perfect record to protect as he bids for win number three. Solness, who has yet to finish outside the first two in five starts over fences, is entitled to make his presence felt.
TOSS AGAIN and Salvador Ziggy are both 2-2 over fences and will likely hold their own in graded company in due course. The latter was again impressive at Tramore recently and is not passed over lightly, but Toss Again belied his inexperience in this sphere when landing a valuable, big-field handicap chase at the Galway Festival and is marginally preferred. This is by no means a straight duel, though, with Solness also entitled to respect on the back of a creditable effort in a Grade 3 novice.

1st (3) (2.5/1 -11%) Stealthy Tom |
2.5/1(-11%) | (3) Stealthy Tom 2.5/1, Won back-to-back handicaps earlier this season and found further improvement when second of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Leading contender. Recent improvement has come over further and he's getting high in the weights. |

2nd (8) (8.5/1 -6%) Mr Saxobeat |
8.5/1(-6%) | (8) Mr Saxobeat 8.5/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in June. Unseated rider in handicap chase (10/1) at Galway (22.5f, good) 22 days ago. Something to find on form. Bright start over fences before unseated early on switch to handicaps at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5.5/1 -10%) Ballykeel |
5.5/1(-10%) | (2) Ballykeel 5.5/1, Below par at Perth last time but had bounced back to best when scoring at same course (23.8f) previously and must enter calculations. Perth Gold Cup winner; below par latest; could do with some rain dropped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Lifetime Ambition |
6.5/1(-63%) | (1) Lifetime Ambition 6.5/1, Grade 3 winner as a novice. Failed to win last season but acquitted himself well on several occasions and may have needed outing when tenth in Galway Plate on return earlier this month. Respected. Asked some stiff questions and this is a lot more suitable than the Galway Plate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 +31%) Fairyhill Run |
11/1(+31%) | (6) Fairyhill Run 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable tenth of 17 in handicap chase (20/1) at Galway (22.5f, good) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Losing run stretched back to winning a 3m1f handicap chase at this fixture two years ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) The Little Yank |
6.5/1(-30%) | (4) The Little Yank 6.5/1, Bounced back to best when second of 11 in handicap chase at this course (17f, good, 12/1) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Must enter calculations. Made a timely return to form over 2m1f here latest and this trip is a better fit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (25/1 -79%) All Those Years |
25/1(-79%) | (5) All Those Years 25/1, Latest win in chase at Limerick in March. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Others preferred. Early days over fences but looks vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (4/1 +43%) Sit Down Lucy |
4/1(+43%) | (7) Sit Down Lucy 4/1, Respectable eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good, 11/1) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Makes limited appeal. Useful hurdler/chaser; could be more at home over this distance than some of these. |

Course specialist STEALTHY TOM has every chance of registering a fourth career win at this venue. The Enda Bolger-trained gelding arrives here at the top of his game, having won the Connacht National in June before finishing runner-up in the Midlands equivalent last month. The eight-year-old seems to come alive at this track more than any other, having won three and being brought down on his only other start here. Lifetime Ambition has his sights lowered somewhat, having run in the Aintree Grand National and Galway Plate on his two most recent outings. The Jessica Harrington-trained gelding has the valuable assistance of Conor Smithers 7lb claim on this occasion. The Little Yank was runner-up over shorter at this track last month but has won at this trip so also rates a live contender.
STEALTHY TOM continues to thrive and pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Kilbeggan last month. He can register his third victory of the season. Ballykeel and The Little Yank are feared most.
This represents LIFETIME AMBITION (nap)'s most realistic task over fences for some time and his rider's 7lb claim is welcomed

1st (1) (0.14/1 +18%) Aurora Vega |
0.14/1(+18%) | (1) Aurora Vega 0.14/1, Promising individual. Won 10-runner bumper at Sligo (18f, good to soft, 1/5) on NH debut 74 days ago, easing clear. Exciting prospect who is fully expected to maintain her unbeaten record. Boasts some pedigree and strolled home by 12l when long odds-on at Sligo. |

2nd (5) (22/1 +12%) Rule Seventeen |
22/1(+12%) | (5) Rule Seventeen 22/1, No Nay Never gelding. Dam fair 7f/1m winner. Should have the speed for this sort of test, so worth monitoring in the betting. Never made the track for Joseph O'Brien and sold on for 5,500gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (22/1 +33%) Dorset Lady |
22/1(+33%) | (6) Dorset Lady 22/1, Ninth of 12 in bumper (18/1) at this course (17f, good) 36 days ago. Unlikely to feature. Flat-bred mare who has had plenty of chances in bumpers with this her 11th start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (80/1 -21%) Watergrangedreamer |
80/1(-21%) | (3) Watergrangedreamer 80/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 17 in bumper at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 80/1) 19 days ago. Up against it. Made it 0-10 in bumpers when tailed off in the new cheekpieces at Cork. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 -54%) Huntsgrove |
10/1(-54%) | (2) Huntsgrove 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in bumper (5/1) at Limerick (19f, soft) 30 days ago. Might capitalise if Aurora Vega isn't on her game. Promise in both runs; decent jumping pedigree so should continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Juke Box |
11/1(-10%) | (4) Juke Box 11/1, Konig Turf gelding. Dam, maiden over hurdles/fences in France, 11.5f winner on Flat. Third foal; dam 11.5f-13.5f winner in France (inc AQPS Flat); up against it on debut. |

While AURORA VEGA is unlikely to interest too many casual racegoers in terms of being a punting proposition, those in attendance are almost certain to stay around to catch a glimpse of a potentially exciting racehorse. The daughter of Quevega, a full-sister to Facile Vega, made an impressive winning debut at Sligo in June. Having resisted the temptation to compete at the Galway Festival, connections now take in this winner's bumper on the next step up the ladder. It would be a major surprise of the five-year-old isn't able to maintain her unbeaten record. Huntsgrove has shown enough on two starts to date to suggest he can win races although the Kalanisi gelding will need to improve to trouble the likely favourite here. Rule Seventeen looks the pick of the newcomers on pedigree.
AURORA VEGA looked a classy sort when breezing to victory at long odds-on at Sligo 74 days ago and she should have no issue following up. Huntsgrove is probably the likeliest to capitalise if the selection doesn't perform, although Rule Seventeen is a mildly interesting newcomer.

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.
