1st (2)  (2.5/1 +50%)Inca Prince |
2.5/1(+50%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Inca Prince 2.5/1, Fairly useful 7f winner on the Flat. Fair form in trio of juvenile hurdles in Ireland and made a successful start for this yard in a Catterick juvenile (15.7f) last month, but this is more demanding. | |||
2nd (6)  (50/1 +24%)Oot Ma Way |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Oot Ma Way 50/1, Dual AW winner during the autumn and signs of ability in both starts over hurdles, albeit she was a long way adrift of Collingham here last month. | |||
3rd (1)  (2.12/1 -21%)Collingham |
2.12/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Collingham 2.12/1, Multiple Flat winner who cosily landed the odds in 6-runner C&D juvenile on hurdles debut in November. Well clear of the rest when runner-up back here next time and expected to feature. | |||
4th (4)  (7.5/1 -173%)Meritorious |
7.5/1(-173%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Meritorious 7.5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat, winner of 1½m Newmarket handicap for the Gosdens when last seen 7 months ago. Sold for 65,000 gns and one to note in the betting on hurdles/yard debut. Cheekpieces added. |

1st (3)  (2/1 -23%)Pitempton Power |
2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pitempton Power 2/1, Winless following 7 attempts over hurdles, but immediate improvement for the switch to fences when scoring at Carlisle (2m) last month. Raised just 3 lb and big player moving back up in trip here. | |||
2nd (6)  (2.5/1 +17%)Carry On The Magic |
2.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Carry On The Magic 2.5/1, No more than minor promise in 4 runs over hurdles, but he was runner-up on sole start between the flags (substance to that form) and may prove to be a different proposition now switched to fences. | |||
3rd (1)  (18/1 -13%)Diable De Sivola |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Diable De Sivola 18/1, Well-handicapped judged on peak form, but failed to fire in 4 starts last term and record over fences stands at 0-16 following an inauspicious reappearance effort for new connections in December. | |||
4th (4)  (8/1 +43%)Castletown |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Castletown 8/1, Still well there when falling 2 out in a Perth handicap chase in May. However, he's 0-21 in this sphere and a poor reappearance effort over hurdles here merely underlined his inconsistency. | |||
5th (2)  (3.2/1 -16%)Bollingerandkrug |
3.2/1(-16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bollingerandkrug 3.2/1, Dual hurdles winner last term and while he failed to build on chase debut promise when fourth at Ayr (16.5f) last time, this step back up in trip will help. Cheekpieces applied. | |||
|PU| (5)  (11/1 +0%)Balranald |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Balranald 11/1, Failed to strike in 15 attempts over hurdles but made first start over fences a winning one at Sedgefield in November. Subsequent Catterick effort was rather underwhelming, though. |

8.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Aurora Thunder 8.5/1, Run of good form over hurdles came to a halt when pulled up in an Aintree Class 2 last month. This a bit easier but others are still preferred. | |||
2nd (8)  (3/1 +33%)Kavanaghs Cross |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kavanaghs Cross 3/1, Some good placed efforts in handicaps prior to getting off the mark in a 2m Kelso maiden in a first-time tongue (retained) last month. Form boosted by third winning since. Big player. | |||
3rd (1)  (3.5/1 +30%)Stoner's Choice |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stoner's Choice 3.5/1, Had a productive novice hurdle camapign last season, winning 4 times, including a handicap off only 1 lb lower. Couple of respectable efforts in handicaps this term and should give his running. | |||
4th (2)  (10/1 +0%)Voix Du Reve |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Voix Du Reve 10/1, Smart at best and went close in 2m handicap hurdle on this card last year. Nowhere near his best this term, albeit the Fighting Fifth was always asking too much latest. Given a chance by handicapper. | |||
5th (6)  (20/1 -25%)Caius Marcius |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Caius Marcius 20/1, Capitalised on a falling mark under a good front-running ride at Market Rasen in July. Similar form when runner-up under this rider at Wetherby in November. Running well when unseating 2 out latest. | |||
6th (4)  (7/1 -75%)Strong Glance |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Strong Glance 7/1, Unreliable type who ran out for second time in career at Wincanton last month. Showed he's still useful when the mood takes him when a close second at Hereford since but he was outbattled. | |||
7th (3)  (3.33/1 +5%)Geromino |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Geromino 3.33/1, Another from this yard who is enjoying a cracking season, winning a novice at Uttoxeter and handicaps at Sedgefield (2½m) and Huntingdon. Another good run when second at Doncaster latest. Respected. | |||
8th (5)  (20/1 -167%)Ashington |
20/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ashington 20/1, Successful over this trip in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield in March and a novice chase at Hexham in June. Should be sharper for a spin on the Flat 10 days ago. |

2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tommy's Oscar 2/1, Improving hurdler who arrives on a hat-trick after bagging handicaps at Haydock and Doncaster. Up another 3 lb but he's still not taken lightly for his good yard. | |||
2nd (2)  (3/1 +40%)Christopher Wood |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Christopher Wood 3/1, Smart hurdler who arrives in decent nick on the back of a wind op, sixth to Tommy's Oscar in 19f Haydock handicap 42 days ago. Not discounted off 3 lb lower mark. | |||
3rd (5)  (5.5/1 -38%)First Impression |
5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) First Impression 5.5/1, Readily landed 2m handicap hurdle at Wetherby in November but she unseated at the fourth flight at Musselburgh last time. Well worth another chance. | |||
4th (4)  (7/1 -17%)Fiveandtwenty |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fiveandtwenty 7/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and also a three-time 2m winner in this sphere last term. Faced a tough task on her return in Wetherby listed contest, so she's no forlorn hope after a wind op. | |||
5th (3)  (10/1 -100%)Anna Bunina |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Anna Bunina 10/1, Successful twice in Ireland last summer and she signed off with excellent handicap efforts in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and at Ayr. In the mix on her return. | |||
6th (6)  (6/1 +33%)Mick Maestro |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mick Maestro 6/1, Dual 2m hurdle winner but he came in well held after 6 months off in Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham on his reappearance. Needs to bounce back. | |||
7th (7)  (40/1 -60%)Blakeney Point |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Blakeney Point 40/1, Landed this contest 12 months ago but he ran one of his lesser races when fifth of 7 in 2m handicap at Huntingdon 27 days ago. Others are more persuasive. |

1st (2)  (1.5/1 +14%)Amour De Nuit |
1.5/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Amour De Nuit 1.5/1, Good record in small fields and ran well on first go over fences for first time in over 2 years at Newbury 5 weeks ago under this rider. That form has a solid look to it and he boasts strong claims. | |||
2nd (5)  (7.5/1 -25%)Nietzsche |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nietzsche 7.5/1, Won listed handicap chase over this trip at Ayr in April. Yet to fire this term but has been given a chance in the weights. | |||
3rd (1)  (2.5/1 +29%)Gaelik Coast |
2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gaelik Coast 2.5/1, Good record here (second C&D win in October). Struggled behind Amour de Nuit in stronger race at Newbury 5 weeks ago but should fare better back at this venue. Respected. | |||
4th (4)  (8.5/1 -21%)Joke Dancer |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Joke Dancer 8.5/1, Useful winning chaser at best but struggling this term, fifth of 9 in 21f handicap at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Others more appealing despite his handy mark. | |||
|U| (3)  (4.5/1 -29%)Gold Des Bois |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gold Des Bois 4.5/1, Hurdles/chase winner in Ireland who filled the runner-up spot for the fourth outing in succession here (2m) last time and is proving consistent for all his mark is clearly about right. Up in trip now. |

1st (1)  (5.5/1 -64%)Coolbane Boy |
5.5/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Coolbane Boy 5.5/1, Bumper winner/fair maiden hurdler at up to 3m in Ireland. Lost all chance with mistake 3 out in 23f Musselburgh handicap on yard debut in October and he's well worth a second look. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 +0%)Cooldine Bog |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cooldine Bog 3.5/1, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland. Lurks on a good mark starting out for new yard and it will look significant if the market vibes surrounding this 9-y-o are upbeat. | |||
3rd (6)  (3.2/1 +36%)Smokey The Bandit |
3.2/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Smokey The Bandit 3.2/1, Fair form when reaching the frame 3 times in maiden hurdles in Ireland in the spring. However, he failed to make an impact back from a break for new yard at Ayr and others look stronger here. | |||
4th (4)  (22/1 -57%)Court Dreaming |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Court Dreaming 22/1, Scored off 3 lb higher chase mark last term and latest hurdles win was off just 1 lb lower. However, he needs to bounce back now returned to this sphere following a tame effort over fences at Kelso. | |||
5th (5)  (5/1 +9%)Angel Of Harlem |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Angel Of Harlem 5/1, Handicap hurdle/novice chase winner in 2019 and has shaped as if retaining ability since returning from a lengthy absence in October. Down to an attractive mark and should make her presence felt. | |||
6th (3)  (2.75/1 +21%)Morraman |
2.75/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Morraman 2.75/1, Drew clear to end losing run stretching back 2½ years over this C&D in October. Creditable fourth at Ludlow last time and, now 1 lb lower, he's high on the shortlist. |

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.
