1st (4) (1/1 +28%) Luccia |
1/1(+28%) | (4) Luccia 1/1, Closely related to useful hurdler Hooper and looked an excellent prospect when winning both her bumper starts last season, including a listed event at Sandown. One to follow now hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +55%) She's A Saint |
4.5/1(+55%) | (7) She's A Saint 4.5/1, Winner of her sole start in Irish points and made a striking impression on her hurdling debut when a wide-margin scorer of a 6-runner novice at Hexham (16.2f). Turned over at short odds by Carole's Pass over C&D subsequently, but it remains early days and she could still improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4.5/1 -80%) Poetic Music |
4.5/1(-80%) | (5) Poetic Music 4.5/1, Talented enough to win first 3 bumpers (junior) and far from disgraced when sixth in the Champion Bumper. Made a successful hurdling debut after 8 months off at Ludlow (15.8f) 23 days ago and has scope for plenty of improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Carole's Pass |
7.5/1(-15%) | (1) Carole's Pass 7.5/1, Took her form up a notch when landing 12-runner minor event hurdle at Clairefontaine (17.9f) in June and followed up over C&D 5 months later. Carries a 3 lb penalty but should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -27%) Letterston Lady |
14/1(-27%) | (3) Letterston Lady 14/1, Dual bumper scorer who made a winning hurdling debut in straightforward style at Worcester (2m) 38 days ago. Sure to progress and not be underestimated now tackling better company. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (40/1 -21%) Autumn Return |
40/1(-21%) | (2) Autumn Return 40/1, Landed a bumper at Ayr in the spring and created a good impression when following up on Market Rasen hurdle debut (16.6f) in September. Ran to only a similar level under a penalty at Wetherby, though. More needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (20/1 -25%) Rosy Redrum |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Rosy Redrum 20/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who showed promise sent hurdling on the back of a breathing operation/6 months off when third at Wincanton (15.2f) 9 days ago, keeping on having typically been held up. Should improve. |

1st (3) (2/1 +0%) McFabulous |
2/1(+0%) | (3) McFabulous 2/1, Smart hurdler who ended last season with success in Grade 2 company at Sandown and, having been pulled up on return/chase debut he made no mistake when comfortably taking 4-runner Exeter novice (19.2f) earlier this month. Should be plenty more to come in this sphere on that evidence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (0.57/1 -30%) Thyme Hill |
0.57/1(-30%) | (1) Thyme Hill 0.57/1, Dual Grade 1 winning hurdler who finished (runner-up in last year's Stayers' Hurdle and sound start over fences, landing an Exeter novice (24.2f) on return 3 weeks ago. Looks sure to go on to better things in this sphere and leading claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/1 +60%) Mortlach |
10/1(+60%) | (4) Mortlach 10/1, Has made hay in small-field novice events this season, including 4 victories over fences at up to 21f. Acquitted himself well granted run of the race when second in Wincanton Grade 2 earlier this month but likelihood is he will fall short here. |

1st (6) (5.5/1 -22%) Zanza |
5.5/1(-22%) | (6) Zanza 5.5/1, Ran poorly on reappearance but back over fences, was presumably sharpened up by first-time blinkers when runner-up at Wetherby a fortnight ago. However it's now twelve runs since last win in 2020 and whether the headgear has the same effect today is anyone's guess. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 +23%) Demachine |
5/1(+23%) | (3) Demachine 5/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who gained third victory over fences following second breathing op when capitalising on drop in grade at Uttoxeter (20f) in May. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip and revised mark doesn't look beyond him provided he's ready to roll. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7.5/1 +38%) Java Point |
7.5/1(+38%) | (8) Java Point 7.5/1, Winning hurdler for Kim Bailey who won 3 times over fences last season, including over 23f here final start. Remains one to be positive about and yard couldn't be in much better form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (5/1 +17%) Killer Kane |
5/1(+17%) | (13) Killer Kane 5/1, Much improved since fitted with a tongue strap, landing handicaps at Kempton and Sandown. Far from disgraced in Grade 3 handicap at Aintree final start last season and shaped as if the run was needed on recent return at Exeter. Interesting contender. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (10/1 -18%) Cap Du Nord |
10/1(-18%) | (12) Cap Du Nord 10/1, Capitalised on a good mark in a valuable 3m event at Kempton in February. Remote fifth on Chepstow reappearance last month but took a step forward on that effort from 2 lb out of weights when third at Wincanton 3 weeks ago. Won this in 2020 so he's one to look out for. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 -27%) Jacamar |
28/1(-27%) | (7) Jacamar 28/1, Dual 2m4f winner last term who shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when fourth in 3m handicap at Chepstow on return. Found less than looked likely on his first go over the National fences at Aintree earlier this month so percentage call is to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (16/1 +0%) Senior Citizen |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Senior Citizen 16/1, Scored at Market Rasen on second outing last term but little to shout about thereafter and returned with lacklustre display under a more patient ride than usual at Aintree earlier this month. Handicapper has reacted accordingly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (16/1 +36%) Kitty's Light |
16/1(+36%) | (1) Kitty's Light 16/1, Placed 3 times in Grade 3 handicaps last spring. Always behind on reappearance at Chepstow last month and limited encouragement at Ascot 3 weeks later. Yard a force to be reckoned with in valuable handicap chases but he needs to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (4/1 +47%) Dublin Four |
4/1(+47%) | (10) Dublin Four 4/1, Won twice around 2½m for this stable last season, including on reappearance over C&D. Shaped as if as good as ever particularly as he was left poorly placed when runner-up at Wetherby last month so he's certainly not to be discounted today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (8/1 -45%) Kapcorse |
8/1(-45%) | (4) Kapcorse 8/1, Clearly fragile but made the most of some generosity by the handicapper to land this corresponding event for the second time last year. Ran poorly at Sandown 10 weeks later but he warrants plenty of respect attempting his third success in this contest. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (20/1 +50%) Red Risk |
20/1(+50%) | (3) Red Risk 20/1, Useful chaser who was back on song when scoring over hurdles at Uttoxeter in February. Not in the same form in a couple of outings in the spring but stable's very good form of late provides the hope for better on his return to action. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (14/1 +30%) Petit Tonnerre |
14/1(+30%) | (1) Petit Tonnerre 14/1, Winner of both starts over hurdles in France and overcame a late scare to score on his debut for current yard at Market Rasen (16.5f) in February. Pulled up in Aintree Grade 1 final start but very much back on track when 1¼ lengths third of 11 to Peking Rose in 2½m Aintree handicap on return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (33/1 +0%) Dorking Boy |
33/1(+0%) | (7) Dorking Boy 33/1, Three wins last season. Off 6 months, shaped as if better for the outing when sixth of 7 on his 21f Kempton reappearance 19 days ago, forced wide and fading from 2 out. Eased 2 lb. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4.5/1 +36%) Lord Baddesley |
4.5/1(+36%) | (4) Lord Baddesley 4.5/1, Built on his encouraging reappearance second in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow when going one better at Plumpton (20.5f) 23 days later. Up 9 lb for that but still enters the reckoning for his in-form stable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (10/1 +0%) Current Mood |
10/1(+0%) | (10) Current Mood 10/1, Won 3 times last season and was a creditable third in a 2½m Ffos Las handicap on her reappearance 5 weeks ago. More will be needed in this deeper race, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (3/1 +63%) Peking Rose |
3/1(+63%) | (6) Peking Rose 3/1, Made a winning return to action after wind surgery in a 2½m Aintree handicap (good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Raised 4 lb but there could be a bit more to come,. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (6.5/1 +35%) Malakahna |
6.5/1(+35%) | (11) Malakahna 6.5/1, Progressive when racking up a hat-trick over hurdles around 2m last spring. Arrvies on the back of a pair of wins in staying handicaps on the Flat in cheekpieces (on for the first time over hurdles now) this autumn. Likely capable of better again over hurdles now stepping up to 2½m. Big player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (6/1 +50%) Porticello |
6/1(+50%) | (2) Porticello 6/1, Won 4 of his first 5 starts, including the Grade 1 Finale at Chepstow. Best of the British when sixth in the Triumph at Cheltenham on his final start. While he will need some improvement to defy his mark it's likely he'll have more to offer at this longer trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (4/1 +67%) Washington |
4/1(+67%) | (9) Washington 4/1, 2-2 in bumper and also won twice in novice hurdles last season. Showed he can be competitive from his mark when third in a big-field handicap at Ascot (2m) on final start. Shaped as if better for the run when fifth of 10 on last month's reappearance there. Up in trip now. Hood also added. |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (3/1 +14%) First Street |
3/1(+14%) | (1) First Street 3/1, Smart hurdler who scored at Kempton (2m) in January and also posted excellent placed effiorts in Betfair Hurdle over C&D and in County at Cheltenham. Yard has excellent recent record in this event so he holds solid claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (6.5/1 +41%) Grivetana |
6.5/1(+41%) | (8) Grivetana 6.5/1, Winner of her sole start in France and she has quickly made up into a fairly useful winner for her current yard, good second of 7 in handicap hurdle over C&D 23 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (3/1 +33%) Teddy Blue |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Teddy Blue 3/1, Fairly useful 1¾m winner on Flat in France who has matched that form in this sphere, easily landing odds in novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f) 22 days ago. Looks to have got in lighly for his handicap debut. Big shout. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -10%) Yorksea |
22/1(-10%) | (7) Yorksea 22/1, Fair 1m2f Flat winner in France who has taken well to hurdles, comfortably bagging 6-runner juvenile at Fontwell (17.7f) when last seen out 11 months ago. Can't be discounted on his handicap bow despite having an absence to overcome. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (6.5/1 +46%) Parisencore |
6.5/1(+46%) | (6) Parisencore 6.5/1, Has resumed in great nick and made it three wins from his last four runs in 2m handicap hurdle at Wetherby 29 days ago. Up 4 lb but he can make his presence felt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8.5/1 +39%) Boombawn |
8.5/1(+39%) | (3) Boombawn 8.5/1, Largely progressive sort who landed the odds on return in a 3-runner listed contest at Kempton before posting good second of 6 in handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f) 18 days ago. Others look better treated at these weights, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (4/1 +27%) Theatre Glory |
4/1(+27%) | (2) Theatre Glory 4/1, Improving mare who made it 4-5 over hurdles when readily landing listed event at Cheltenham (20.2f) by 6½ lengths from Lady Rita. Has more to offer for yard which has excellent recent record in this contest. Player. |

1st (8) (4.5/1 +36%) Le Milos |
4.5/1(+36%) | (8) Le Milos 4.5/1, Two wins for Tim Vaughan last winter and took it up another notch when comfortably making a winning start for his leading new yard in a 3m Bangor handicap 17 days ago. Looks well treated under a 4 lb penalty, particularly as he likely has more to offer for this stable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/1 +7%) Remastered |
7/1(+7%) | (9) Remastered 7/1, Going strongly when falling 4 out in this race 12 months ago. Races off a 4lb lower mark this time and an Aintree hurdle win on his recent reappearance after another breathing operation suggests he could be better than ever. High on the shortlist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (6.5/1 +0%) Gericault Roque |
6.5/1(+0%) | (11) Gericault Roque 6.5/1, Took very well to chasing last season, placed all 5 starts, including excellent second of 24 to Corach Rambler in Ultima at Cheltenham (25f) on final start. Well behind stablemate Remastered in Aintree handicap hurdle on reappearance but remains open to improvement back chasing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 -22%) Corach Rambler |
11/1(-22%) | (7) Corach Rambler 11/1, Developed into a smart chaser last season, notably winning 24-runner Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival (25f) final start. Made a satisfactory reappearance over a trip short of his best at Carlisle last month. Every chance he'll resume his progression now faced with a more suitable test. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Busselton |
7.5/1(+17%) | (5) Busselton 7.5/1, Suited by the step up to 3m when winning the Kerry National at Listowel in September. Likeable and consistent type from a much respected Irish stable. Should give another good account of himself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (16/1 +0%) Annsam |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Annsam 16/1, Won a listed handicap at Ascot last December and also scored over hurdles here in the spring. Below par behind Our Power back at Ascot on reappearance 4 weeks ago. Hard to fancy after that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 +20%) Fanion D'estruval |
16/1(+20%) | (1) Fanion D'estruval 16/1, Improved performer last season, including a 2½m handicap at this meeting. Matched that in defeat subsequently (including third in 21f Ascot Grade 1) but major stamina doubts up significantly in trip on reappearance, while he'd need a high-class effort under clear top weight in any case. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (66/1 +56%) Red Happy |
66/1(+56%) | (15) Red Happy 66/1, French import who landed a sixth win since March when seeing off 3 rivals at Exeter last month. Respectable fifth in the Bager Beer at Wincanton (25f) next time but had weakened out of contention when refusing at the last in the Sussex National 13 days ago. 4 lb out of the handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (10/1 +17%) Lord Accord |
10/1(+17%) | (14) Lord Accord 10/1, Useful chaser who took advantage of some leniency from the handicapper when seeing off 8 rivals at Cheltenham (25f) in October. Good second to Frodon in the Badger Beer at Wincanton since but this looks even stronger. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (11/1 -10%) Threeunderthrufive |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Threeunderthrufive 11/1, Enhanced his good strike-rate with 4 novice chase wins last season. inculding Grade 2 events at Doncaster and Warwick. One of a few in this field who comes here on the back of a prep run over hurdles. Has cheekpieces on for the first time. Yard continues in excellent form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (9/1 +0%) Oscar Elite |
9/1(+0%) | (12) Oscar Elite 9/1, Yet to win over fences but he showed he can mix it in competitive handicaps when third of 24 to Corach Rambler in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Should be sharper for a reappearance run over hurdles last month. Stable has won this twice since 2016 (also had the runner-up last year). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (22/1 -22%) Lostintranslation |
22/1(-22%) | (4) Lostintranslation 22/1, Top-class chaser at best (Betfair Chase winner and third in Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2019/20). Lost his way after an Ascot reappearance win last season but clearly capable when fresh. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (8/1 +27%) Fiddlerontheroof |
8/1(+27%) | (2) Fiddlerontheroof 8/1, Excellent second in this race 12 months ago and fifth in Grand National on final start last season. Ran creditably on his hurdle reappearance but will require a big career best to go one better than last year. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue tie. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (40/1 +50%) Diablo De Rouhet |
40/1(+50%) | (16) Diablo De Rouhet 40/1, Developed into useful chaser for this yard in 2019. Proved he retains ability when third of 7 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m) in July but well beaten over hurdles last month. 4 lb out of the handicap. Others are more obvious. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (80/1 -21%) Potterman |
80/1(-21%) | (6) Potterman 80/1, Got his head back in front in a 4-runner-race at Kelso in March. Shaped as if needing the run when sixth in the Badger Beer at Wincanton on his reappearance but vulnerable at this level of competition even if back to his very best. Visored first time. |

(1) (5.5/1 +8%)5.5/1(+8%) | (1) Eclair D'Ainay 5.5/1, Gained a third career success under a positive ride at Wetherby in December and backed it up with two excellent efforts in defeat. Should give another good account if he's tuned up after 9 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (1.38/1 +8%) Amarillo Sky |
1.38/1(+8%) | (2) Amarillo Sky 1.38/1, 6-y-o who made a bright start over fences last term, scoring twice (including at this course). Back on track with a successful return at Cheltenham and looks set to put up another bold showing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (2.5/1 +50%) Only Money |
2.5/1(+50%) | (7) Only Money 2.5/1, Scored for fourth time over fences when taking 7-runner contest at Worcester (16.5f) last month. Didn't jump as fluently when third at Aintree (15.8f, good to soft) since but holds solid claims here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 -11%) Monsieur Lecoq |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Monsieur Lecoq 10/1, Positively ridden and jumped well in main when adding to his tally over C&D in March. Low-key return over hurdles and fell early returning to chasing last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 +13%) Bun Doran |
7/1(+13%) | (4) Bun Doran 7/1, Veteran who was successful on his penultimate start last year but didn't seem quite right when pulled up at Aintree on his final outing. Could bounce back after 7 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (7/1 +56%) Courtland |
7/1(+56%) | (6) Courtland 7/1, Took really well to chasing with 2m wins at Ffos Las and Newton Abbot in summer 2021 but well-held fifth in a handicap at Worcester on his only start since. Bit to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (28/1 -100%) Hatcher |
28/1(-100%) | (3) Hatcher 28/1, In-and-out form last year, albeit he was in the process of running well when falling at Ayr 7 months ago. Capable on his day and mark isn't beyond him. |

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.
