1st (1)  (0.3/1 +17%)Zonisty |
0.3/1(+17%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zonisty 0.3/1, Landed a C&D bumper in November then ran well under a penalty when runner-up back here the following month. Very much the one to beat. | |||
2nd (8)  (11/1 +67%)War Bonnet |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) War Bonnet 11/1, Bred for the Flat and hinted at ability when mid-field at Huntingdon in November. Failed to fire at Southwell subsequently but each-way claims if able to get back on track. | |||
3rd (5)  (40/1 -21%)Bella Madonna |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bella Madonna 40/1, Eastern Anthem mare. Dam, 2m-2¼m hurdle winner, out of half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler (2¾m-3m winner) Material World. Market should be a guide with regard to expectations. | |||
4th (2)  (80/1 +20%)Its Going Rome |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Its Going Rome 80/1, Yet to show anything and will need to take a big step forward following a wind op if he's to make an impact. | |||
5th (7)  (4.5/1 +25%)Elusive Enemy |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Elusive Enemy 4.5/1, Shaped better than the bare result when sixth in a 13-runner Doncaster bumper (16.6f, good to soft) on recent debut. Wouldn't need to improve much on that to make an impact here. | |||
6th (4)  (16/1 +20%)Ropeman |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ropeman 16/1, Telescope gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Benbane Head. Probably best watched on debut, unless the betting suggests otherwise. | |||
7th (3)  (66/1 -100%)Looksee |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Looksee 66/1, Sent off at 80/1 and was well adrift of Zonisty when sixth in the C&D bumper won by Ledders in December. | |||
8th (6)  (20/1 -43%)Cheeky Chester |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cheeky Chester 20/1, Life Force gelding. Dam showed little in bumpers/over hurdles. Yard 0-8 in bumpers and this 4-y-o doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner. |

1st (11)  (12/1 -41%)Glance At Me |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Glance At Me 12/1, Improved second upped to 20.5f on handicap debut/reappearance at Huntingdon in November. Has failed to build on that since, though, and she now has a bit to prove. | |||
2nd (6)  (3/1 +67%)Iskar D'airy |
3/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Iskar D'airy 3/1, French bumper winner who caught the eye on his hurdling debut at Kempton last spring. However, it would be something of an understatement to say that he has subsequently failed to build on that. | |||
3rd (2)  (4/1 +47%)Godot |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Godot 4/1, Fair bumper performer who was placed on his first two hurdles starts but has failed to make an impact switched to handicaps the last twice. | |||
4th (5)  (8/1 -33%)Begin The Luck |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Begin The Luck 8/1, Has drawn a blank since his 2 wins in spring 2021 but was knocking firmly on the door with 3 successive runner-up efforts in November/December. Form has dipped the last twice, though, and likely to find a few too good. | |||
5th (10)  (4/1 -20%)Hill Station |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hill Station 4/1, Gambled on and all set to make a winning hurdles bow when coming down at the last at Newton Abbot last summer. Not disgraced on handicap debut in this sphere in October and wasn't beaten far on the Flat recently, so there are certainly grounds for optimism. | |||
6th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Mr Jack |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mr Jack 12/1, Four-time winner during 2020/21 campaign but generally below par last season and it's been a similar story so far this time round. Needs to bounce back on his first run following a wind op. | |||
7th (8)  (66/1 +0%)Pak Army |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pak Army 66/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland and hasn't fared any better in a handful of appearances for present yard. | |||
8th (1)  (33/1 +0%)What Will Be |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) What Will Be 33/1, Juvenile hurdle winner in 2019 and also successful on the Flat in 2020. However, he hasn't shown much in 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in November. | |||
|PU| (3)  (5.5/1 -100%)Stanley Pincombe |
5.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stanley Pincombe 5.5/1, Hasn't made much of an impact switched to fences this season (ran out at Taunton last time) but has to be of interest back hurdling for in-form yard, having scored off 5 lb lower in this sphere last spring. Cheekpieces added. | |||
|PU| (9)  (16/1 -100%)Hello Bob |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hello Bob 16/1, Uttoxeter handicap winner back in summer 2020 but hasn't fully fired since returning from an 18-month absence last May and there's no real reason to anticipate a revival here. |

4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kayf Legend 4/1, Made a winning bumper debut at Stratford in October but only sixth of 12 on his hurdles debut at Taunton (2m) in December. Should still do better. | |||
2nd (10)  (1.75/1 +13%)Kansas Du Berlais |
1.75/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kansas Du Berlais 1.75/1, Promising fourth in listed newcomers race at Auteuil on hurdling debut for David Cottin but tongue strap left off for his new yard when odds-on fourth at Sandown in December. Since had a wind op and he's well worth another chance with headgear back on too. Player. | |||
3rd (5)  (3.33/1 +0%)I Hope Star |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) I Hope Star 3.33/1, Fair hurdler. 22/1, good second of 7 in novice over C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago. Holds solid claims. | |||
4th (8)  (6/1 +0%)Polyphonic |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Polyphonic 6/1, Fairly useful 11f winner on Flat and sold from Karl Burke 42,000 gns in October. Hood on when bolting up at Fontwell (17.7f) but only fifth of 7 in juvenile at Huntingdon (15.8f) 32 days ago. Shouldn't be written off. | |||
5th (7)  (20/1 -150%)Tellmesomethingood |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tellmesomethingood 20/1, 11/1, hinted at promise when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Kempton (16f, soft) on NH debut 99 days ago. May well do better. | |||
6th (12)  (40/1 -82%)State Legend |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) State Legend 40/1, Fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for James Ferguson. Off 6 months before fading seventh of 14 on his hurdling debut at Taunton so should step forward here. | |||
7th (4)  (14/1 -40%)Happy Boy |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Happy Boy 14/1, 4/1, off 11 months before encouraging fifth of 8 in bumper at Lingfield (16f, standard) 71 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and this Irish point third can do better. | |||
8th (2)  (28/1 -133%)Dickens |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dickens 28/1, Fairly useful dual Flat winner. However, had been well beaten on both starts in 2022 (hooded second one) and was too free sent hurdling when well held at Wetherby in November. Should improve. | |||
9th (1)  (150/1 +0%)Birdman Bob |
150/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Birdman Bob 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle (80/1) at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) 16 days ago. Has lots to find on form. | |||
10th (9)  (22/1 +33%)Jacks Profit |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jacks Profit 22/1, Half-brother to Kubali (2¼m-2½m jumps winner abroad, by Approve). Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), again ran creditably last time. Stamina no issue now hurdling. | |||
11th (3)  (300/1 -100%)Dr Lockdown |
300/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dr Lockdown 300/1, Last of 8 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut 15 days ago. | |||

2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scipion 2/1, Runner-up both starts in points and this fairly useful winning hurdler made a promising chase debut when third of 5 in handicap at Uttoxeter (22.5f) in October. Off 3 months after and a shade disappointing at Sandown. Back up in trip with cheekpieces on. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.25/1 +44%)Seigneur Des As |
2.25/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Seigneur Des As 2.25/1, Just fair form over fences in France and not a great deal of encouragement to be gleaned from 4 outings for this stable. 6 lb out of the handicap. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.5/1 -5%)Hudson De Grugy |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hudson De Grugy 3.5/1, Useful 4-time hurdle winner for this yard. A little below that level in 2 chase outings in November and jumped poorly at Kempton Boxing Day. Needs to do better with a visor now enlisted. | |||
|PU| (3)  (3.5/1 -17%)Not What It Seems |
3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Not What It Seems 3.5/1, Completed hat-trick of novice hurdle successes at Wetherby on return in October. Solid efforts both starts since, including when third of 6 on chasing debut at same course last time. More to come over fences and massive player of he stays this far. |

3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Moviddy 3/1, Irish point winner at second attempt and showed plenty to work on when third in 14-runner novice at Exeter (18.5f) in November, not knocked about. Entitled to do better. | |||
2nd (2)  (8.5/1 +23%)Finescope |
8.5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Finescope 8.5/1, Minor promise in trio of bumpers spread over 9 months so improvement needed now switching to hurdles. | |||

3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Police Academy 3/1, Won sole start in Irish points and again shaped with some promise when fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Remains with potential. | |||
4th (3)  (1.38/1 +0%)Helenn Clermont |
1.38/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Helenn Clermont 1.38/1, Placed completed start in Irish points (Nov 2021) and still looked rough around the edges when third in 6-runner novice at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) on Rules debut 40 days ago. Tongue tie goes on and may improve over this longer trip. | |||
5th (4)  (66/1 +47%)Miss Get The Veuve |
66/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Miss Get The Veuve 66/1, Just poor form in 2 bumpers. Lot more required now hurdling up in trip. | |||

200/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cassowary 200/1, Well held in bumpers 9 months apart. Cheekpieces applied for hurdle debut. | |||
7th (6)  (150/1 -20%)Nowyouvebinandunit |
150/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nowyouvebinandunit 150/1, Made an inauspicious start to career when trying to refuse and unseating second in a Worcester maiden hurdle last May. | |||
|PU| (8)  (11/1 +78%)Stop This Train |
11/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Stop This Train 11/1, Ask mare. Dam unraced. Placed once from 4 starts in points, sixth of 7 finishers last time (May 2022). |

18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) D'Jango 18/1, Having faced a stiff task in the Welsh National, returned to form only 6 days later when third in the Sussex National at Plumpton (28.5f), No real surprise given overall profile he was in nothing like the same form latest, turning in a moody display. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.75/1 -46%)Movethechains |
1.75/1(-46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Movethechains 1.75/1, Highly-progressive chaser last season who completed a 4-timer (all by 12 lengths or more) in handicaps over 3m at this venue. Looked rusty pitched into the Welsh National on his return and it would be no surprise to see him back on the up here. | |||
3rd (2)  (8/1 -7%)Checkitout |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Checkitout 8/1, Ended last season on a downer and both starts back this term hardly suggests he's a winner in waiting. Eased further 5 lb and a visor replaces cheekpieces. | |||
4th (4)  (10/1 -18%)Pemberley |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pemberley 10/1, Warwick winner from 3 lb lower in December 2021. Runner-up twice since but also failed to complete 3 times, stopping very quickly at Plumpton last month. Cheekpieces reached for. | |||

2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Art Of Illusion 2/1, Off the mark first time up over fences in October and firmly back on track when adding to that at Ffos Las (21f) last month. Upped to 25.7f and better still when a neck second at Plumpton a fortnight ago, clear of the rest. | |||
|PU| (6)  (5/1 +58%)Colonel Keating |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Colonel Keating 5/1, Well on top at the finish when opening Rules account in 23.5f handicap chase here in December 2021.

2.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Secret Trix 2.75/1, Improved form to get off the mark in 23f Fakenham handicap in November and posted very good third at Uttoxeter following month. Shortlisted. | |||

14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cheng Gong 14/1, Unreliable type but he posted a creditable second in Flat handicap at Kempton 10 days ago. Switches to hurdles but it's now fifteen runs since his last win in 2021. | |||
6th (1)  (7/1 -155%)Representing Bob |
7/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Representing Bob 7/1, Won first 3 starts over fences and even better form when runner-up next 3 starts. Blnikered when pulled up at Market Rasen last time now and reverts to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces. | |||

50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shirocco's Delight 50/1, Modest hurdler in Ireland but not at that level for current yard. Fell 1st at Fontwell last time so has something to prove. | |||

33/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Maire's Dream 33/1, Poor in bumpers and has fared little better over hurdles, including in handicaps over C&D and Plumpton on her last two outings. Hard to recommend. | |||

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.
