1st (2)  (3.5/1 -133%)Afadil |
3.5/1(-133%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Afadil 3.5/1, French Flat winner who easily landed short odds on his Taunton hurdle debut last month. Open to considerable improvement for his top yard. | |||
2nd (6)  (7/1 +30%)The Churchill Lad |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Churchill Lad 7/1, Fair Flat winner who has taken well to hurdling, winning juveniles at Cartmel in August and Catterick in November. Ran as well as could be expected when fourth in Grade 2 Finale at Chepstow over Christmas, although Fils de Roi would have finished ahead of him but for coming down at the last. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.25/1 +36%)Fils De Roi |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fils De Roi 2.25/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles, winning Auteuil claimer on final start in France and easily following up in Huntingdon juvenile on October's stable debut. Fading but would have finished a creditable fourth but for falling at the last in Grade 2 Finale at Chepstow over Christmas. | |||
4th (1)  (50/1 +0%)Freddy Robinson |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Freddy Robinson 50/1, Fair maiden on Flat who built on his hurdle debut fourth at Newcastle when seeing off 5 rivals in a C&D Class 2 in December. Shouldered with a 3 lb penalty for that and more will be needed if he's to follow up here. | |||
5th (5)  (8.5/1 +39%)Shared |
8.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shared 8.5/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat who belied market weakness to make a winning start over hurdles for new connections at Wetherby on Boxing Day. This a jump in class but he should have more to offer. | |||
6th (3)  (2/1 +11%)Bringbackmemories |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bringbackmemories 2/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles, returning from a break to win readily over C&D on New Year's Day. Likely has more to offer. Player. |

1st (5)  (3/1 +45%)Pay The Piper |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pay The Piper 3/1, Useful over hurdles and quickly made up into an even better chaser, scoring twice towards the end of 2021. Handicapper has seemingly had his measure this season but mark easing now at least. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.33/1 +5%)Fidelio Vallis |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fidelio Vallis 3.33/1, Completed quickfire 4-timer over fences in the spring of 2021 and returned with good effort at Chepstow later that year. Not so good next 2 starts and off 13 months since (has left Paul Nicholls), but new yard has made a bright start and handicapper has given him a chance. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 -9%)Friend Or Foe |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Friend Or Foe 6/1, Useful handicapper who won twice on his debut season over fences. Better for return when respectable fifth at Wetherby last time and can't be discounted. | |||
4th (3)  (4.5/1 +25%)Dreams Of Home |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dreams Of Home 4.5/1, Ended last season on a winning note at Perth and picked up where he left off by landing a 17f Kelso handicap on return in December. Not so good at Sandown since but worth another chance given overall profile. | |||
5th (8)  (10/1 -122%)Gold Des Bois |
10/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gold Des Bois 10/1, Fairly useful hurdles/chase winner in Ireland and won his first race for current connections in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f) on return. Followed up at the same C&D next time and good efforts in defeat 2 of next 3 starts, third at Doncaster 9 days ago. Player. | |||
6th (7)  (8/1 +11%)Return Ticket |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Return Ticket 8/1, Won twice from 4 starts last season, notably listed handicap at Ayr (2m, good) in April. Not in the same form next 4 starts but back to form after 5 months off when close second at Kelso 63 days ago. Potentially on a good mark if building on that. | |||
7th (4)  (14/1 -56%)Hasankey |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hasankey 14/1, Made excellent strides over fences last season, winning 3 on the bounce prior to finishing sixth of 16 in the Grand Annual at the Festival. Cracking second at Ayr on return in October and possibly found Cheltenham coming too soon less than a fortnight later. Off since and visor back on. | |||
|F| (6)  (14/1 +0%)Voix Du Reve |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Voix Du Reve 14/1, Smart at best and cashed in on falling mark at Newcastle in March. Mixed record so far this season, however, and having first start over fences in 16 months. |

6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dancila 6.5/1, Useful 1m4f Flat winner for Jim Bolger. Has since changed hands for 35,000 gns and brings plenty of potentila to this sphere. Market could prove revealing. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.75/1 +61%)General Officer |
1.75/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) General Officer 1.75/1, Winning pointer who landed back-to-back novice events over C&D before Christmas. 13/8, good second of 6 at Catterick (19.3f) 24 days ago so he's one to consider. | |||
3rd (3)  (28/1 +30%)Lihyan |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lihyan 28/1, Got off the mark in 2m maiden hurdle at Cork in July for Josh Halley, Off 6 months before fading seventh of 16 in novice at Doncaster (16.6f) 26 days ago. Can build on it now but he needs to. | |||
4th (4)  (0.83/1 -14%)Toothless |
0.83/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Toothless 0.83/1, Fair form in French juvenile hurdles but looked an altogether different proposition when routing the opposition on debut for Paul Nicholls in 2m Fakenham maiden hurdle last month. Exciting prospect who rates a big player here. |

1st (13)  (2.5/1 +79%)Brandy McQueen |
2.5/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Brandy McQueen 2.5/1, Twice successful at up to 3¼m last spring and this likeable type resumed winning ways over C&D on New Year's Day. Had a bit in hand on that occasion but he is effectively 8 lb higher here (2 lb out of handicap). | |||
2nd (5)  (40/1 -233%)Coltor |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coltor 40/1, Pretty useful on the Flat and over hurdles for Dermot Weld in Ireland. Made a solid start for his new stable when third on AW Flat at Kempton 11 days ago. Feasibly handicapped back hurdling but his stamina isn't assured (pulled up on previous attempt at 3m). | |||
3rd (1)  (40/1 -186%)The Bosses Oscar |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Bosses Oscar 40/1, Smart hurdler/chaser who landed a Limerick conditions race over the smaller obstacles in July. Can't have been right when last of 4 at Cork the following month and given a break since. One of 2 runners from top Irish stable. | |||
4th (3)  (9/1 +25%)Wakool |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wakool 9/1, Has made really good strides since stepped up to 3m, winning 5 times, including on Ayr reappearance. Another good effort at Ayr when second on latest start. Runner-up in this last year and likely to make his presence felt again. | |||
5th (8)  (14/1 -133%)Hurricane Harvey |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hurricane Harvey 14/1, Has looked work on occasions but very much in the mood when winning staying handicap hurdles at Uttoxeter and Ludlow on his last 2 outings. Suspicion a further 4 lb rise may find him out in this deeper race, though. | |||
6th (7)  (28/1 -56%)Gaelik Coast |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gaelik Coast 28/1, Useful winning chaser and in good form back hurdling this season, winning at Worcester in June and back to his best when runner-up at Doncaster (19.5f, good) in December. Looked beaten when falling 2 out here (2½m ) on New Year's Day, though. Up in trip. | |||
7th (11)  (10/1 +0%)Salvino |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Salvino 10/1, Winning pointer who got off the mark over hurdles in novice at Kelso (23f) in November. Two solid runner-up efforts in handicaps since and should give another good account. | |||
8th (4)  (12/1 -33%)Shearer |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shearer 12/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles, including novices at Worcester and Cheltenham on his return to action in October. Well behind the reopposing Abuffalosoldier in a handicap at Newbury the following month but capable of bouncing back for a yard which has won this race twice since 2017. | |||
9th (2)  (9/1 +18%)Bardenstown Lad |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bardenstown Lad 9/1, Useful hurdler last season, winning 4 times prior to an excellent third in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Below that level over fences this term but may fare better now returning to smaller obstacles. | |||
|F| (6)  (16/1 -45%)Jaycean |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jaycean 16/1, Hurdle debut winner just over a year ago. Useful effort from a stiff-looking opening handicap mark when seventh of 15 at Punchestown (3m) in November, but well beaten when falling 4 out at Leopardstown over Christmas. Still early days but others arrive with more pressing claims. | |||
10th (9)  (3/1 +14%)Abuffalosoldier |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Abuffalosoldier 3/1, Showed improved form to resume winning ways on just his second handicap start in 14-runner event at Newbury (3m, good to soft) in November. Creditable third of 10 at Cheltenham since. Likely to give another good account. | |||
11th (12)  (50/1 -25%)Aurora Thunder |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Aurora Thunder 50/1, In good form in the first half of 2022 but her last 2 efforts have been disappointing. Steps back up in trip now. | |||
12th (10)  (10/1 -25%)Coolbane Boy |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Coolbane Boy 10/1, Bounced back to form when edging out a next-time-out winner over C&D in December. Likely still on a workable mark after a 4 lb rise but he does need to prove he can string good efforts together. |

5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cartonne 5.5/1, Ex-pointer who has finished runner-up 4 times over hurdles. Not at best last 2 starts back from 6 months off but could be the sort to take to chasing. No forlorn hope. | |||
2nd (9)  (3.5/1 +46%)Dr Shirocco |
3.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dr Shirocco 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 19 runs but he recorded a good fifth of 7 from 10 lb out of the handicap at Sedgefield (21f) 23 days ago. Considered. | |||
3rd (4)  (4.5/1 +18%)Large Action |
4.5/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Large Action 4.5/1, C&D winner in January and possibly found the run coming too quickly when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.3f) 23 days ago. Sort to bounce back. | |||
4th (5)  (16/1 -14%)Thunder In Milan |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Thunder In Milan 16/1, Fair maiden hurdler who has yet to match that form in three runs over fences, jumping sketchily when seventh of 12 to Large Action in handicap over C&D 35 days ago. Others appeal more. | |||
5th (1)  (3.33/1 -67%)Limerick Leader |
3.33/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Limerick Leader 3.33/1, Fair winner over hurdles who made an encouraging start in this sphere when third of 6 in handicap here (15.8f) 33 days ago. Capable of better, especially now back up in trip. Big shout. | |||
6th (6)  (6/1 +45%)Shoughall's Boy |
6/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shoughall's Boy 6/1, Fair winning hurdler in 2021. Yet to translate that form in three runs over fences, cheekpieces on when remote fourth of 12 to Large Action in handicap over C&D 35 days ago. Needs a big step forward. | |||
|U| (8)  (9/1 -50%)Nabraska |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Nabraska 9/1, Still to get his head in front but he arrives in decent nick, third of 9 in handicap chase here (19.2f) 18 days ago. One for the shortlist. | |||
|U| (7)  (40/1 +0%)The Great Georgie |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Great Georgie 40/1, Poor maiden hurdler on balance who was pulled up in handicap at Hexham (20.1f) 81 days ago. Goes chasing now with plenty to prove. | |||
|PU| (2)  (33/1 -106%)Devour |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Devour 33/1, Runner-up at Newcastle last April but little encouragement to be gleaned from two outings this season. Has something to prove. |

6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Methodtothemadness 6/1, Better than ever back from wind surgery this autumn, winning at Bangor before good second there. Found out in better company at Carlisle since but this level more suitable. | |||
2nd (3)  (1.75/1 +30%)Creative Control |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Creative Control 1.75/1, Dual winner over hurdles last season and stepped up on previous chase form when scoring in ready fashion over C&D in December. Good second back here following month and solid claims. | |||
3rd (2)  (7/1 +0%)First Account |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) First Account 7/1, Versatile performer but shaped as if amiss after 13 months off at Kelso 3 weeks ago so has something to prove now. | |||
|F| (6)  (1.5/1 +40%)Duke Of Deception |
1.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Duke Of Deception 1.5/1, Has improved over fences with this headgear fitted, close second of 4 at Kelso 3 weeks ago, going like the best horse at the weights only to pay for committing for home further out than ideal considering he was upped to 3m for the first time. Can do better again, | |||
|F| (4)  (14/1 -27%)That's A Given |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) That's A Given 14/1, Fairly useful winner over fences for Noel Williams during summer of 2021. However, well held final outing for that yard and has fared little better in 4 starts for current yard (including over hurdles). Others preferred. |

22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Coral Blue 22/1, Back to winning ways when making all in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f) in November and backed up that effort when second at Newcastle on Boxing Day. Sub-par effort last time but not completely dismissed. | |||
2nd (1)  (8.5/1 -55%)I Am Gonna Be |
8.5/1(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) I Am Gonna Be 8.5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, soft, 8/11) 80 days ago, pushed out. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to further improvement and should take the beating. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.5/1 +38%)Garde Des Champs |
2.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Garde Des Champs 2.5/1, Has looked back in form the last twice, travelling smoothly when second at Doncaster last time. Should go well again. | |||
4th (10)  (25/1 -56%)Idilico |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Idilico 25/1, Resumed winning ways from 3 lb lower mark at Perth (20f) in September. Excuses next two starts and disappointing run over fences is easily passed over. Not completely dismissed. | |||
5th (9)  (28/1 -27%)Sanosuke |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sanosuke 28/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland. Has yet to match that form over hurdles, however and others make more appeal. | |||
6th (13)  (66/1 +0%)Darkest Day |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Darkest Day 66/1, Off the mark at Plumpton for Gary Moore in March 2021 and runner-up twice for this yard in June of that year. However, he has shown nothing so far this term. Tongue tied now. | |||
7th (3)  (5.5/1 +27%)Jem In Em |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jem In Em 5.5/1, Placed only start in points and did well under the circumstances to make winning Rules/bumper debut at Perth (16.2f). Fair form so far over hurdles but this drop back in trip might not suit. | |||
8th (5)  (6/1 +20%)Kilbrainy |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kilbrainy 6/1, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, making a solid start to his handicap career when second over C&D in November. Solid claims. | |||
9th (2)  (7/1 -56%)They Call Me Pete |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) They Call Me Pete 7/1, Offered little in a bumper for Jimmy Fox last winter but hurdles not devoid of promise, runner-up in a novice at Market Rasen last time. Interesting. | |||
|F| (8)  (18/1 -50%)Maggie Barrett |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Maggie Barrett 18/1, Built on her stable debut when landing 4-runner maiden hurdle here (19.8f, soft) in November and not discredited in a handicap next time. Should be on the premises. | |||
10th (6)  (6/1 +25%)Zafar |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zafar 6/1, Consistent sort who won over C&D last season and arrives in form, so he's worthy of consideration. | |||
11th (11)  (14/1 -27%)Vintage Valley |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Vintage Valley 14/1, Left hurdling debut form well behind in first-time cheekpieces when making all at Wetherby and lesser run in better company there is easily excused. Not without a chance on handicap debut. |

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.
