1st (2)  (0.18/1 +18%)Effernock Fizz |
0.18/1(+18%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Effernock Fizz 0.18/1, Very useful mare. Won Welsh Champion Hurdle (Handicap) at Ffos Las in October and second over fences at Cheltenham a fortnight later. Another sound effort when second in Bangor handicap chase recently. This looks a very good opportunity for her. | |||
2nd (3)  (4.5/1 +44%)Walk In Clover |
4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Walk In Clover 4.5/1, Fair winner over hurdles and matched that form for the first time over fences when second at Southwell in November. Went backwards from that when down the field at Uttoxeter since and she'd struggle to live with an on-song Effernock Fizz. | |||
3rd (1)  (22/1 -175%)Cotton End |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cotton End 22/1, Quite a useful handicap hurdler at her peak but hasn't taken to chasing in 2 attempts this winter. |

1st (9)  (1.2/1 +4%)Welsh Charger |
1.2/1(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Welsh Charger 1.2/1, Just minor promise in a brace of bumpers but different story switched to hurdles at Huntingdon last month, shaping well in second. That's the best form on offer here. | |||
2nd (1)  (66/1 -65%)Estacas |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Estacas 66/1, Useful in bumpers last term but no show in 2 hurdles for current yard. Can only be watched for the time being. | |||
3rd (6)  (3/1 +63%)Rocco Royale |
3/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rocco Royale 3/1, Shirocco gelding. Has hinted at ability in a bumper and maiden hurdle and there's likely a bigger performance in him soon. | |||
4th (8)  (50/1 +50%)Scherbobalob |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Scherbobalob 50/1, Modest maiden on Flat who is more one for handicaps based on his 2 attempts over hurdles. | |||
5th (7)  (8.5/1 -70%)Royal Max |
8.5/1(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Royal Max 8.5/1, Closely related to 2 winners on Flat. Comfortably held in 2 bumpers in the first half of 2022 but he was prominent in the betting on both occasions, suggesting his top stable things he's capable of better. Switches to hurdles after 9 months off. | |||
6th (15)  (5.5/1 -22%)Greatness Awaits |
5.5/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Greatness Awaits 5.5/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), winning at Epsom in September on his final start for Mick Channon. Starts out over hurdles in an ordinary race. One to consider. | |||
7th (2)  (5/1 -25%)Fuji Rocks |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fuji Rocks 5/1, Travelled well when third in 2 bumpers in the autumn. Didn't make too bad a start over hurdles when sixth at Newbury in November. Has a tongue tie added back from a break. Likely improver. | |||
8th (13)  (25/1 -25%)Opticality |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Opticality 25/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and didn't achieve a great deal when fifth on her Uttoxeter hurdle debut 11 days ago. | |||
9th (16)  (100/1 -203%)The Rebel Breen |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) The Rebel Breen 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles. | |||
10th (14)  (150/1 -88%)Starlight Glance |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Starlight Glance 150/1, Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle 9 months apart. | |||
11th (11)  (125/1 -79%)Longville Lilly |
125/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Longville Lilly 125/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and comfortably held both starts over hurdles. | |||

100/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Wide To West 100/1, Placed on completed start in points but pulled up on Chepstow hurdle debut in November. Off since. | |||
13th (4)  (200/1 +0%)Howyouplaythegame |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Howyouplaythegame 200/1, Showed little in a brace of bumpers and didn't fare any better on his first couple of starts over hurdles, latest after 10 months off. | |||
14th (12)  (300/1 -50%)Minneigh Mozze |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Minneigh Mozze 300/1, Just poor form in bumpers and well held on completed start over hurdles in recent weeks. | |||
15th (3)  (150/1 -50%)Hackberry |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hackberry 150/1, Fair bumper/Flat winner during time with Brian Ellison. Pulled up on hurdle in October (for Ann Duffield) and only eighth on AW Flat on last month's first run for another new trainer. Likely outsider. |

1st (6)  (1.75/1 +13%)Patient Dream |
1.75/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Patient Dream 1.75/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 8-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 15 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Up 6 lb but was well on top at the finish so a big player with headgear retained. | |||
2nd (7)  (12/1 +45%)Light In The Sky |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Light In The Sky 12/1, 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, only sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good) 15 days ago. Has work to do. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.33/1 +26%)John Betjeman |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) John Betjeman 3.33/1, Good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft, 22/1) 58 days ago. Merits consideration. | |||
4th (8)  (6/1 +45%)Arctic Lodge |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Arctic Lodge 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft) 81 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut but others look better treated at these weights. | |||
5th (3)  (28/1 -229%)Court Royale |
28/1(-229%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Court Royale 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Ffos Las in October. Pulled up in handicap chase (9/2) at Hereford (16f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Switches to hurdles with work to do. | |||
6th (4)  (16/1 -129%)Kingfast |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kingfast 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 12f on flat. First run for yard after leaving Tom Symonds with big absence to overcome but no forlorn hope now going into handicaps. One to note in the betting. | |||
7th (5)  (6.5/1 +54%)Lunar Jet |
6.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lunar Jet 6.5/1, 12/1 and hooded for 1st time, laboured effort when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft) 21 days ago. More is needed. | |||
8th (9)  (10/1 -11%)Balgowan |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Balgowan 10/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for William Haggas. 33/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 35 days ago, slowly away. Reverts to hurdles for his handicap debut and not dismissed. |

1st (6)  (1.75/1 +22%)Seigneur Des As |
1.75/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Seigneur Des As 1.75/1, Still a maiden but, following a wind op, he produced his best effort yet on these shores when just touched off at Lingfield (23.5f) last week. Was 6 lb 'wrong' that day so the fact that he's 3 lb out of the handicap here is of no great concern and a bold show is anticipated. | |||
2nd (1)  (16/1 -60%)Head To The Stars |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Head To The Stars 16/1, Veteran who has gained all 3 of his chase victories at this venue, and he held every chance prior to a bad mistake at the final fence back here last time. Possibilities off the same mark granted an error-free round of jumping. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.2/1 +42%)One True King |
3.2/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) One True King 3.2/1, Followed Market Rasen reappearances success with a couple of inauspicious displays. Not entirely disgraced in valuable handicaps the last twice, the latest at Ascot on Saturday, but current mark leaves very little margin for error. | |||
4th (5)  (3/1 -9%)Volcano |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Volcano 3/1, Decisive winner at Warwick last spring and performed with credit when fifth in a valuable handicap from 10 lb out of the weights there last time. Went close over this C&D on penultimate start and he needs considering. | |||
5th (4)  (11/1 -100%)Coo Star Sivola |
11/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Coo Star Sivola 11/1, Won the Ultima at Cheltenham Festival in 2018 and some useful efforts for Nick Williams in 2020/21. Little impact in 2 starts for new yard since returning from a lengthy absence in November but dangerous to discount down in class off a reduced mark here. | |||
6th (3)  (8/1 +20%)The Big Lense |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Big Lense 8/1, Out of sorts for Gordon Elliott last summer and fared no better on stable debut in handicap hurdle at Fakenham on New Year's Day. However, returned to form back over fences when second at Leicester (2½m) and a repeat of that would put him firmly in the picture. |

1.1/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Great Snow 1.1/1, Promise in bumpers and placed in mares' novice hurdles here and at Wincanton (both at around 21f). Moving up in trip looks a good move and she has to enter calculations. | |||
2nd (4)  (0.8/1 +33%)Oak Creek |
0.8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oak Creek 0.8/1, Placed both completed starts in Irish points and shaped well when fourth of 11 starting out under Rules in a 20.8f Doncaster maiden hurdle last month. Big player with this step up in trip likely to help unlock improvement. | |||
3rd (5)  (22/1 +56%)Prince De Juilley |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Prince De Juilley 22/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and shaped better than the bare result when well held on Market Rasen hurdle debut. However, pulled up at Doncaster since and he's hard to warm to on the back of that display. | |||
|F| (2)  (66/1 +0%)Emotional Memories |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Emotional Memories 66/1, Showed some ability when fifth in a Huntingdon bumper on debut last January. However, has offered little in 2 starts switched to hurdles this season and now upped in trip in a first-time hood. | |||
|PU| (3)  (200/1 +20%)Max The Misfit |
200/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Max The Misfit 200/1, Beaten a country mile on debut in a Hereford bumper in November. Since undergone a wind op and tongue strap enlisted for this hurdles bow. |

3.5/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Estate Italiana 3.5/1, First form when 8 lengths fourth of 10 to Gabriel's Getaway in handicap chase (66/1) at Taunton (18.2f, good) 15 days ago. Not dismissed. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.33/1 +17%)Pawpaw |
3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pawpaw 3.33/1, Modest winner over hurdles over 2m. Hooded for 1st time, below-par third of 8 in handicap chase at Huntingdon 13 days ago. Has work to do. | |||
3rd (3)  (5/1 -50%)Prime Pretender |
5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Prime Pretender 5/1, 5/1, sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. | |||
4th (6)  (12/1 -50%)Megalodon |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Megalodon 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, below-form fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. | |||
5th (2)  (2/1 +27%)Grizzly James |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grizzly James 2/1, Only fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Chepstow (16f, soft, 10/3) 45 days ago so more is required. | |||
6th (7)  (10/1 +17%)Diamond Joel |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Diamond Joel 10/1, Maiden hurdler who has been off for 7 months since below-par fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good). Needs to hit the ground running on his chase debut. |

6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Quoi De Neuf 6/1, Opened chase account over 2¼m at Taunton last season but yet to fire this term, including over hurdles. Others look more solid despite a drop in class. | |||
2nd (6)  (8.5/1 -42%)Heros |
8.5/1(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Heros 8.5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner in France in 2021. Low-key start for current yard but did show a bit more like it when fifth at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Eased further 6 lb, which makes him of interest. | |||
3rd (4)  (3/1 +14%)The Wrekin |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Wrekin 3/1, Three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021 who largely performed well in handicaps subsequently in 2021. Missed all of last year and didn't show a great deal on last month's reappearance. | |||
4th (2)  (14/1 +30%)Padleyourowncanoe |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Padleyourowncanoe 14/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at best for Colin Tizzard and, after 15 months off, made positive start for Dan Skelton when third in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f) in December 2021. However, form has gone the wrong way since, including for new yard at Exeter 3 weeks ago, Blinkers replace cheekpieces. | |||
5th (7)  (12/1 +25%)Samtara |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Samtara 12/1, Fair maiden hurdler but didn't really take to chasing and fared no better back over timber on Boxing Day. Hood replaces tongue tie. | |||
6th (3)  (1.38/1 +21%)Riskintheground |
1.38/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Riskintheground 1.38/1, Positive start when runner-up in a bumper at Chepstow first time out last year and finished with running left when fifth in a listed event at Ascot next start. Not at that level first 3 outings over hurdles but his mark could be generous for his top yard. | |||
7th (5)  (14/1 -100%)Stonific |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Stonific 14/1, Latest hurdles success was for David O'Meara at Market Rasen off 9 lb higher in July 2021. Encouraging effort for new yard following a year off at that course in September but not so good twice since to end 2022. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. | |||
|PU| (8)  (40/1 -186%)Joyful Kit |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Joyful Kit 40/1, Modest maiden hurdler but fare start when fifth for new yard at Wincanton in November and likely to have been placed when unseating rider at Kempton 12 days ago. 2 lb out of the weights. |

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.
