5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(7) Drash On Ruby 5.5/1, Not disgraced in bumpers and has offered something to work on both start starts over hurdles, looking unsuited by the step up in trip at Exeter (18.5f) last time. Needs considering on handicap debut.

Gran Luna
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(3) Gran Luna 3.33/1, Made it 2-3 over hurdles in 19f novice at Chepstow in the spring, but was easy to back and well held on handicap debut at Taunton 8 months later. Bit to prove.

5.5/1(-22%)
(1) Voice Of Calm 5.5/1, Score decisively at Cartmel in May and matched her reappearance form when narrowly denied at Ludlow (15.8f) 23 days ago, sticking to task. Still relatively unexposed and should remain competitive.

Megan
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(2) Megan 3.5/1, Leicester hurdle debut winner who posted a good fourth in a strong race at Ascot in October, but underperformed down in grade at Fakenham last time. Must bounce back.

7
7/1(+7%)
(4) Haseefah 7/1, Fairly useful on Flat and made a winning start over hurdles in a good time at Market Rasen in September, drawing clear. Failed to progress on more testing ground at Lingfield but worth another chance.

12
12/1(+64%)
(8) Born To Please 12/1, Modest hurdler who ran poorly on the Flat at Windsor in June and fared no better back in this sphere after 5 months off at Leicester 27 days ago. Enough to prove.

66
66/1(-65%)
(2) Alghazaal 66/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Michael Bell and shaped better than bare result on hurdles debut at Doncaster (16.6f). Since undergone a wind op and can be expected to leave that form behind in time.

Peking Rose
1
1/1(+43%)
(10) Peking Rose 1/1, Runner-up in a Grade 2 Aintree bumper on final start of last term. Hurdles debut third in a 10-runner Ascot novice (15.7f) on return in October was promising and he's open to improvement.

Bascule
5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(15) Bascule 5.5/1, Useful on the Flat (stays 1¾m), completed 4-timer in AW handicaps at Chelmsford recently. Dam was a winning hurdler and interesting to see how he fares in the betting on debut in this sphere.

Telefina
250
250/1(+0%)
(16) Telefina 250/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and unlikely to do any better in this sphere judged on what he showed on hurdles debut at Fontwell.

Party Island
22
22/1(-38%)
(9) Party Island 22/1, Fairly useful five-time winner on Flat at up to 1½m. Promising introduction to this sphere when third of 7 at Leicester (15.5f) and improvement should be forthcoming.

Sands Chorus
200
200/1(-33%)
(11) Sands Chorus 200/1, Four-time winner on the Flat this year, but sold from Karen Tutty's yard for only £1,000 in November and looks up against it on this hurdles debut.

25/1(+0%)
(5) Fairway Freddy 25/1, Three-time winner last term who confirmed himself back in good nick when third at Kempton (18f) in November. However, failed by a long chalk to back that up at Sandown at the start of the month.

Gallic Geordie
2.25
2.25/1(-29%)
(9) Gallic Geordie 2.25/1, Progressive from a low base, readily landing back-to-back Lingfield handicap chases (2m) in recent months. Up markedly in grade now but of definite interest under a penalty in hat-trick bid.
4

The Russian Doyen
8
8/1(+27%)
(4) The Russian Doyen 8/1, Useful handicap chaser at his peak (C&D winner) but failed to fire last season and below his best in a couple of spins over hurdles/fences this winter. Handicapper is relinquishing his grip at least.

Doukarov
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(3) Doukarov 5.5/1, Well backed when gaining third chase success over C&D a couple of weeks back. That didn't look the strongest of contests though and more on his plate from revised mark.

Heart Of A Lion
7
7/1(+22%)
(8) Heart Of A Lion 7/1, Bumper winner. Failed to score over hurdles but improved to score on chase debut at Ludlow (2m) in November. Jumping let him down at Huntingdon next time but it remains early days with him.

Beaufort West
12
12/1(+52%)
(6) Beaufort West 12/1, Dual hurdles winner for Colin Tizzard and positive chase debut for new yard when second at Sandown (15.5f, soft) in February. Not so good over fences/hurdles since, though.

Early Du Lemo
3.2
3.2/1(+4%)
(2) Early Du Lemo 3.2/1, Fairly useful sort who ran creditably on the back of 10 months off when 6.5 lengths third of 9 at Sandown (15.5f) 26 days ago. Mark has eased a little and good showing not ruled out.

Makka Pakka

(7) Makka Pakka 22/1, Fair ex-Irish hurdler who ran well to finish placed in pair of Stratford handicap chases (21f) in October. Seemingly not 100% at Worcester (16.5f) in November and bounce back not ruled out.

Dashel Drasher
4
4/1(+11%)
(1) Dashel Drasher 4/1, Very likeable front runner who won 3 chases over 21f at Ascot last term, including a Grade 2. Shaped as if needing the run when 16 lengths third on reappearance there. Respected back hurdling.

Beauport
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(7) Beauport 3.5/1, Quickly developed into a useful novice hurdler, winning the EBF Final at Sandown. Reappeared with a good second there last month and that form has been boosted since. Much respected.

Kamaxos
22
22/1(+0%)
(12) Kamaxos 22/1, Has posted good runner-up efforts in pair of 2m handicaps this term but looks to have a bit on his plate here from 6 lb out of the handicap. Up in trip.

Enemy Coast Ahead
12
12/1(+40%)
(11) Enemy Coast Ahead 12/1, Landed a hat-trick of novice hurdles in summer 2020 but has found life tougher in just 2 handicap starts since then.
5

Masters Legacy
4
4/1(-14%)
(5) Masters Legacy 4/1, Underwhelming in 2 runs last season but back to form with a bang to win 2m Chepstow handicap on his reappearance. Even better form when length second over C&D since. Likely capable of better again.
6
6th (6) Red Risk (33/1 -65%)
Red Risk
33
33/1(-65%)
(6) Red Risk 33/1, Has shown very useful form over fences since coming to Britain. Finished weakly when a disappointing fifth at Ascot last month but he does have a lower mark to work with back hurdling.

Pounding Poet
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(8) Pounding Poet 5.5/1, Upwardly mobile in handicap hurdles, cosily scoring at Southwell/Warwick in the spring. Even better form in defeat last twice, particularly when narrowly denied at Aintree latterly. Considered.

Dickie Diver
9
9/1(+10%)
(3) Dickie Diver 9/1, Useful hurdler who returned from long absence to finish second on chase debut a year ago. Found a Cheltenham Festival Grade 1 all too much only subseqeunt start. Remains unexposed back hurdling.
10

Coeur De Lion
33
33/1(-65%)
(10) Coeur De Lion 33/1, Useful on the Flat, including scoring at Royal Ascot in 2020. Similar standard over hurdles and ran some creditable races on the Flat earlier in the year ahead of this hurdle return.

Black Mischief
50
50/1(-52%)
(4) Black Mischief 50/1, Useful hurdler who seemed better than ever when bolting up at Newton Abbot in July. However, he did run poorly in a C&D handicap back from break last month.

Monte Cristo
12

Full Back
18
18/1(-50%)
(1) Full Back 18/1, Low-mileage sort who bagged small-field novice chases at Plumpton and Exeter last winter. Returned with solid seventh at Chepstow but never figured after bad mistake early over this C&D last time.
13
(13) On Call (25/1 +0%)
On Call
25
25/1(+0%)
(13) On Call 25/1, Has relished the switch to chasing this season, making it 2-2 in this discipline when again making all at Chepstow last month. Looked a non stayer over 30.7f at Exeter so this trip more suitable.
10
1st (10) Saint Palais (1.75/1 +56%)
Saint Palais
1.75
1.75/1(+56%)
(10) Saint Palais 1.75/1, Made promising start over fences for current yard when bagging 23f handicap at Worcester and followed up to make it 2-2 in chases on these shores at Wetherby. Open to progress so he's much respected.
9

Gericault Roque
2.75
2.75/1(+21%)
(9) Gericault Roque 2.75/1, Progressive, dual hurdles winner who shaped encouragingly when third on chase debut at Wetherby. Stepped up on that effort when runner-up at Chepstow (23.6f) next time so he's high on the shortlist.
2

Nestor Park
7
7/1(-17%)
(2) Nestor Park 7/1, Dual hurdle winner who remains winless over fences but went close on 3 separate occasions (second in this) last term. Possibly needed the run on return and looks well handicapped if building on that.
5

Run To Milan
28
28/1(-12%)
(5) Run To Milan 28/1, Ended last season on a high, gaining breakthrough success over fences at Exeter (24.2f). Good third on return over the same C&D but failed to fire after a 5 lb rise next time. More required.
12
5th (12) Crypto (5/1 +17%)
Crypto
5
5/1(+17%)
(12) Crypto 5/1, £200,000 purchase after dotting up in bumper for Micky Hammond in 2019. Disappointed over hurdles but off the mark at second attempt over fences at Carlisle in March and reappearance was satisfactory.
14
6th (14) Wayfinder (12/1 -50%)
Wayfinder
12
12/1(-50%)
(14) Wayfinder 12/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who landed 26f handicap chase at Chepstow 14 months ago. Has potential to do better still, and was brought down in luckless fashion mid-race on return at Bangor 19 days ago.
4
7th (4) Truckin Away (66/1 -164%)
Truckin Away
66
66/1(-164%)
(4) Truckin Away 66/1, Surpassed hurdles form in light 2020/21 campaign, coping well with the mud when winning at Doncaster. Ground was a possible excuse for a below-par reappearance so he may bounce back here.
7
8th (7) Innisfree Lad (33/1 -65%)
Innisfree Lad
33
33/1(-65%)
(7) Innisfree Lad 33/1, Revitalised last season, winning 5 times (2 hurdle, 3 chase). Stepped up on previous efforts this term sporting first-time cheekpieces when third at Kelso (32.4f) recently so no forlorn hope here.
6
9th (6) Landofsmiles (33/1 +0%)
Landofsmiles
33
33/1(+0%)
(6) Landofsmiles 33/1, Thrived over fences this year, gaining fourth success in game fashion at Perth (23.8f) in June. Unable to capitalise on lower hurdles mark at Aintree earlier this month so others make more appeal.
3

Cobolobo
20
20/1(+0%)
(3) Cobolobo 20/1, Improved again when making all at Exeter (3m) last season and backed that up with a good second at Ascot. However, he's struggled since and may have needed the run at Aintree 25 days ago.
11

Tinkers Hill Tommy
50
50/1(-100%)
(11) Tinkers Hill Tommy 50/1, Improved for new yard last term, successful at Hereford and at this course prior to finishing second over 23.8f at Ludlow. Failed to complete both starts this term so probably best to look elsewhere.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
