1st (3)  (1.1/1 +60%)Clear White Light |
1.1/1(+60%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clear White Light 1.1/1, Hexham winner for Sandy Forster in April and confirmed the promise of his stable debut when justifying support in 13-runner Doncaster handicap (19.5f) last month. Shaped encouragingly in attempting to peg back a couple of more prominently-ridden rivals at Carlisle since and remains of interest. | |||
2nd (9)  (3/1 +54%)Les's Legacy |
3/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Les's Legacy 3/1, Dual 2m winner at Hexham in 2022 and posted another solid effort when second of 5 at Musselburgh (19.8f) 44 days ago. However, it was a little disappointing he couldn't get the job done having loomed up approaching 3 out, and this is tougher. | |||
3rd (6)  (4.5/1 +36%)Sheriff Garrett |
4.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sheriff Garrett 4.5/1, Took advantage of a reduced mark over C&D on Boxing Day, aided by the drop in grade and the run of the race. Didn't have the same advantages when only sixth of 10 at Wetherby 12 days ago but probably remains in form. | |||
4th (7)  (8.5/1 -70%)Millarville |
8.5/1(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Millarville 8.5/1, Won twice back to hurdles last winter and stepped up on her reappearance effort when just touched off in mares handicap at Kelso (2¼m, heavy) in December. Nudged up 3 lb for that, though, and more will be needed if she's to go one better. | |||
|U| (8)  (10/1 +70%)Nikgarde |
10/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Nikgarde 10/1, Fair hurdler at best but fell away quickly on comeback over C&D in November and fared no better at Doncaster in race won by Clear White Light last time. Lots to prove. |

1st (3)  (1.2/1 +80%)Fusain |
1.2/1(+80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fusain 1.2/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Henry de Bromhead and produced his best effort to date on these shores when runner-up at Doncaster in November. Not disgraced over 2½m here last time (since undergone a wind op) and dropping back in trip should help but his 2 rivals boast more compelling claims. | |||
2nd (2)  (0.73/1 +68%)Arthur's Quay |
0.73/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arthur's Quay 0.73/1, Record over fences in Ireland was 0-10 but has improved for new yard this season, completing the hat-trick in decisive fashion at Sedgefield (17f, soft) recently. Should make a race of it with Richmond Lake, particularly if the addition of cheekpieces helps eke out a little more. |

1st (2)  (1.2/1 +13%)Royal Mogul |
1.2/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Royal Mogul 1.2/1, Fairly useful maiden in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien and sound start over hurdles for new yard when runner-up at Wetherby. Confirmed that promise when going one better at Catterick (19.3f) before good second under a penalty at Wetherby. Should be in the mix again. | |||
2nd (4)  (1/1 +50%)Chase A Fortune |
1/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chase A Fortune 1/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers and decent start over hurdles when placed at Kelso/Catterick. Form pick on these terms. | |||
3rd (12)  (40/1 +39%)Split The Bill |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Split The Bill 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 28/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. | |||
4th (10)  (12/1 +57%)Riggsby |
12/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Riggsby 12/1, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 18/1, second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Julie Camacho. | |||
5th (11)  (33/1 +18%)Shantou's Temple |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Shantou's Temple 33/1, Unplaced in bumpers for Tim Reed and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 9 months off at Musselburgh. | |||
6th (6)  (100/1 -52%)Last Mission |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Last Mission 100/1, Fair Flat winner, sold from James Evans £2,500 in November. Tongue strap on for 1st time. | |||
7th (13)  (33/1 +50%)Steel My Thunder |
33/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Steel My Thunder 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, heavy, 50/1) 37 days ago. | |||
8th (3)  (40/1 +60%)Allibaba |
40/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Allibaba 40/1, Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers but well held over hurdles so far, including both starts for this yard (left W. P. Mullins for £28,000). | |||
9th (5)  (100/1 -52%)Heeztheboy |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Heeztheboy 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1 and hooded, twelfth of 13 in bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) on NH debut 44 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. | |||
10th (7)  (100/1 -52%)Lay Down The Law |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lay Down The Law 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, good to soft, 16/1) on NH debut 81 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. | |||
11th (8)  (50/1 +50%)Libor Lad |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Libor Lad 50/1, Down the field in a couple of bumpers. Much better effort over hurdles when sixth of 13 in novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft, 150/1) 19 days ago but still has plenty to find. |

1st (5)  (1.25/1 +64%)Whodini |
1.25/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Whodini 1.25/1, £60,000 purchase who made the frame both starts in bumpers. Not at that level in pair of starts over hurdles, below expectations when odds-on at Sedgefield last time and is clearly thought capable of better now making chase debut after wind-op. | |||
2nd (9)  (3/1 +70%)Six One Nine |
3/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Six One Nine 3/1, C&D winner. Runner-up both starts over fences this winter, including in 10-runner event over C&D (soft, 18/1) 52 days ago. Can give a good account but probably needs a couple to falter here in a stronger event than he usually contests. | |||
3rd (10)  (8/1 +43%)Fourth Of July |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Fourth Of July 8/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 and hasn't been at his best yet this term, including when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago. Opposable again from out of handicap. | |||
4th (8)  (8.5/1 -6%)Relkadam |
8.5/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Relkadam 8.5/1, Won at Catterick in January 2022 but has been more miss than hit since, again failing to fire when attempting to win the same Catterick event this around. Blinkers now applied. | |||
5th (2)  (5/1 -11%)Lake Takapuna |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lake Takapuna 5/1, Took advantage of much-reduced mark to score in 9-runner handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, soft) 15 days ago. Remains well treated from 5 lb higher mark on his best form, though consistency has never been a strong point. | |||
6th (1)  (28/1 +15%)Antey |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Antey 28/1, Useful dual hurdles/chase winner for Willie Mulins earlier in career but essentially looked regressive for Patrick Griffin and has continued to offer little now for this yard, |

1st (4)  (0.8/1 +42%)Lone Star |
0.8/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lone Star 0.8/1, Off the mark over 2½m here on Boxing Day and continued good work since, runner-up to a next-time-out winner at Market Rasen (20.6f) prior to scoring with ease at Ayr (20.5f) on Tuesday. Goes unpenalized here and leading claims again. | |||
2nd (10)  (7/1 +22%)Shesupincourt |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Shesupincourt 7/1, Filled runners-up spot for third successive start at Ffos Las (21.8f) last month, going like best horse at the weights and collared only last 50 yds. Jumping let her down at Fakenham (23.4f) 2 weeks ago but she's not dismissed out of hand for each-way purposes. | |||
3rd (9)  (12/1 +64%)Silver Coin |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Silver Coin 12/1, Hinted at ability in a bumper/first two starts over hurdles (both at 2½m). Probably best not judged too harshly on her handicap debut effort (upped markedly in trip) at Kelso in October but she will need to jump better than she did then back from a break. | |||
4th (3)  (2.75/1 +0%)Aazza |
2.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Aazza 2.75/1, Bolted up in a conditional jockeys' event at Doncaster (3m) just over 3 weeks ago. Handicapper reacted with a hefty 13 lb rise but she's still relatively low mileage and may well take a bit of stopping if showing up in similar form. | |||
5th (6)  (11/1 +56%)Fiadh |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fiadh 11/1, Bumper/mares' maiden hurdle winner but found the going tough despite a sliding mark in handicaps losing place 5 out and beaten quickly at Wetherby (19.7f) 3 weeks ago. Brian Hughes again in the plate now upped in trip. | |||
|PU| (12)  (80/1 +47%)Nairobi Girl |
80/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Nairobi Girl 80/1, Point bumper winner but hasn't made any impact under Rules to date, again well held equipped with first-time cheekpieces on qualifying hurdles run at Ayr (20.5f) in January. Plenty on her plate from miles out of the weights on handicap bow. |

1st (7)  (1.88/1 +79%)Court At Slip |
1.88/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Court At Slip 1.88/1, Jumped soundly when making a winning chase debut at Wetherby December. Has failed to reproduce that form since, though, and his chance probably depends on whether the new headgear (sports first-time blinkers in place of usual cheekpieces) has a positive effect. | |||
2nd (5)  (1.75/1 +65%)Return Fire |
1.75/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Return Fire 1.75/1, Back-to-back winner at Hexham and over this C&D in November prior to finishing a respectable fourth to Hitman Fred at Ayr the following month. Another fair effort last time but he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now. | |||
3rd (3)  (5.5/1 +27%)Flying Verse |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Flying Verse 5.5/1, Had a good spell over fences after wind surgery in the summer, recording back-to-back wins at Stratford (22.6f) and Musselburgh (31.5f) in October/November. Latest third off this mark at Southwell was creditable but likely to find one or two too good all the same. | |||
4th (4)  (4/1 +71%)Dragonfruit |
4/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dragonfruit 4/1, Back to best when second of 6 in handicap chase at Sedgefield on return in November. However, he has failed to match that level of form in 2 subsequent starts, adding to what is best described as a patchy record. |

0.4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Ivetwiggedit 0.4/1, Off 13 months before much improved on yard debut when landing conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 7 days ago. Leading claims off the same mark here. | |||
2nd (1)  (5.5/1 +45%)Fazayte |
5.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fazayte 5.5/1, Scored at Market Rasen in December. 4/1, respectable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix. | |||
3rd (7)  (16/1 +60%)Something Golden |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Something Golden 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, good sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (22f, soft) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Others look better treated at these weights, though. | |||
4th (8)  (20/1 +20%)Licit |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Licit 20/1, Twice a winner on the Flat in the autumn. Fourth back hurdling at Newcastle in November and not ruled out off a falling mark here. | |||
5th (10)  (6.5/1 +28%)Bebside Banter |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Bebside Banter 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, excellent second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 44 days ago, clear of rest. Winner has gone in again since so not ruled out. | |||
|U| (13)  (50/1 +0%)Bulls Aye |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Bulls Aye 50/1, Fair winner at 7f on flat. 33/1 and visor on for 1st time in this code, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 44 days ago, losing place quickly. Subsequent wind op needs to spark a resurgence. |

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.
