0.4/1(+9%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Voice Of Calm 0.4/1, Triple hurdle winner who has made a sound enough start over fences, matching pick of hurdles form when third at Taunton (18f, good to soft) in December. Yard amongst the winners and this is a good opportunity. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.75/1 +7%)Tune The Chello |
1.75/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tune The Chello 1.75/1, Multiple winner for Henry De Bromhead and in reasonable heart in the autumn, placed twice over fences. Failed to complete back over hurdles for new yard at Ludlow in December. Tongue strap on for 1st time. |

1.25/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blacko 1.25/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner in 2019/20 who offered promise on second 2 chase tries for Alan King during early 2021. Well below best (following lengthy absence) in 3 hurdle starts for new yard this winter but drop back in trip a likely plus ahead of return to chasing. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.62/1 +92%)Extraordinary Man |
0.62/1(+92%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Extraordinary Man 0.62/1, Fair maiden over hurdles (twice placed during 2021/22) who shaped as if needing first start for 7 months on handicap debut at Ludlow (15.7f) in November. Needs to build on that now chasing. | |||
3rd (4)  (40/1 +60%)Nyoufsea |
40/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nyoufsea 40/1, Poor maiden who offered little on the back of 3 months off at Plumpton 17 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Engaged 4.10 Hereford Wednesday. |

9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sabbathical 9/1, Showed benefit of comeback run when scoring over fences at Fakenham (2m) in November. Backed it up with a creditable second at Sedgefield before possible excuses next 2 starts. Could bounce back. | |||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +20%)Letsbe Avenue |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Letsbe Avenue 4/1, Quickly off the mark over jumps for new yard in Taunton handicap chase in December, albeit rather fortunate. Got no further than the first there 9 days ago but may still have more to offer for this stable. | |||
3rd (6)  (2.5/1 +0%)Line Of Descent |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Line Of Descent 2.5/1, Has taken well to fences, placed all 3 starts, including 4 lengths third of 8 to Ben Buie in handicap at Fakenham 2 weeks ago, finishing with running left (let down by jumping). Well in the mix off an unchanged mark. | |||
4th (5)  (16/1 +36%)Go As You Please |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Go As You Please 16/1, Tricky sort who hasn't exactly covered himself in glory since landing a 4-runner Warwick handicap chase last season, running poorly at Taunton 84 days ago. | |||
5th (1)  (16/1 -167%)Blueberry Wine |
16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blueberry Wine 16/1, Fair dual winner over fences last season but off 10 months and career best probably required to defy current mark. | |||
6th (3)  (4.5/1 +18%)Elmount |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Elmount 4.5/1, Modest performer for Ross O'Sullivan in Ireland, respectable fifth of 14 on debut over fences at Downpatrick last spring. Good third on return/debut for this yard over hurdles at Uttoxeter 19 days ago so not taken lightly back in this sphere. | |||
|PU| (4)  (2.75/1 +8%)Ben Buie |
2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ben Buie 2.75/1, Arrives at the top of his game having won 3 of his last 4 starts, jumping well when making all at Fakenham 2 weeks ago. Must be respected up 4 lb. |

12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) C'est Quelqu'un 12/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Fontwell this time last year but has struggled badly since, no improvement back over fences on his last 2 outings. | |||
2nd (4)  (4.5/1 -125%)Cloudy Wednesday |
4.5/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cloudy Wednesday 4.5/1, Proved well suited by strong pace when finally off the mark in third of 9 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Looks to have found an equally weak event here and can give bold show in follow up bid. | |||
3rd (2)  (9/1 -13%)Barnay |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barnay 9/1, Bounced back to form when third of 9 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago after disappointing spell over hurdles for this yard. Suited by run of race that day but he's not without a chance again here. | |||
4th (7)  (28/1 -12%)Dogem By Design |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dogem By Design 28/1, Made frame in a point but hasn't shown any ability under Rules and can be passed over again. | |||
5th (6)  (4/1 +60%)Heron Creek |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Heron Creek 4/1, Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Chepstow in April but hasn't yet taken to chasing in 3 starts. More severe headgear now applied. | |||
|U| (5)  (1.38/1 +21%)Ya Know Yaseff |
1.38/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ya Know Yaseff 1.38/1, Successful sole start in Irish points. Made much more impact impact than previously over hurdles when runner-up under a positive ride at Fakenham last time. Has found a very weak contest to make chase debut in and is shortlisted. | |||
|PU| (1)  (6.5/1 +28%)Moot Court |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moot Court 6.5/1, Some promise on sole bumper and showed some ability in novice hurdles, though finishing effort was questionable more than once. Makes chase debut in weak race after 10-month absence and market appeals as best guide to expectations. |

2nd (4)  (8.5/1 -21%)Koi Dodville |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Koi Dodville 8.5/1, Showed aptitude for chasing when runner-up on his first 2 starts in July but last 3 outings have left plenty to be desired. Needs to step forward. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.33/1 -11%)Dreamsundermyfeet |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dreamsundermyfeet 3.33/1, Dual winner last season who got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 9 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, good) 13 days ago. Can go well again in retained headgear. | |||
4th (5)  (2.75/1 +39%)The Boat |
2.75/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Boat 2.75/1, C&D winner in December but possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft) 24 days ago. Has a bit to prove. |

1.88/1(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Time Leader 1.88/1, Modest hurdler/chaser. Left Tom Lacey and winning pointer since last seen under Rules, including penultimate start, unplaced last time (Dec 4). | |||

7.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Santon 7.5/1, Fair hurdler and a dual winner in points since last seen under Rules. Worthy of interest back under Rules. | |||

18/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ultra Viers 18/1, Runner-up sole start in points but Rules form is uninspiring. | |||

6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vango De Vaige 6/1, Lost his way under Rules but has been successful between the flags subsequently. Worth a market check. | |||

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.
