1st (2)  (3.6/1 -3%)Pallas Lord |
3.6/1(-3%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pallas Lord 3.6/1, Confirmed previous AW promise when scoring narrowly over 7f here in January and backed that up when close -up fifth back here for new yard 24 days ago. Worthy of consideration again with rider taking off valuable 7 lb. | |||
2nd (8)  (4.5/1 -13%)Odd Socks Havana |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Odd Socks Havana 4.5/1, Off the mark in a C&D minor event for new yard in February. Similar form when runner-up at Wolverhampton/Southwell since and no surprise to see him thereabouts once more. | |||
3rd (4)  (2.75/1 +21%)Jems Bond |
2.75/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jems Bond 2.75/1, Proving better than ever equipped with cheekpieces, landing 6f minor event prior to readily following up in a 7f handicap here 7 days ago. Yet to taste success over this trip but undoubtedly respected in present groove/under a penalty. | |||
4th (3)  (4.5/1 -13%)Tyche |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tyche 4.5/1, Back-to-back winner of AW handicaps last summer who arrives here in good heart, again finding only one too good in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. No reason why she won't be in the mix again. | |||
5th (1)  (25/1 -56%)Mr Strutter |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mr Strutter 25/1, Dual 7f winner on turf last summer who ended the campaign in good heart, fifth at Catterick (7f) in September having been left poorly placed. However, this run may be needed for new yard on back of 6 months off. | |||
6th (6)  (10/1 +38%)Palazzo |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Palazzo 10/1, Not disgraced on back of 2 months off when close-up sixth over 7f here in January but not in same form when filling same spot in 12-runner Southwell handicap (1m) later that month. | |||
7th (7)  (16/1 -146%)Ranger Bob |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ranger Bob 16/1, Maiden who ran best race for present stable when third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago. However, again compromised his chance with a slow start which has to be a concern here. | |||
8th (10)  (33/1 -83%)Lukoutoldmakezebak |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Lukoutoldmakezebak 33/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Offered little when sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 22/1) 10 days ago. Has work to do in what rates a stronger affair. | |||
9th (9)  (10/1 +60%)Highlight Reel |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Highlight Reel 10/1, Unreliable type. 25/1, stepped up on yard debut when 3 lengths fifth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 8 days ago, ridden over 2f out but one paced. Back down to basement mark now but not sure to build on that effort here. | |||
10th (5)  (33/1 -32%)Corndavon Lad |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Corndavon Lad 33/1, Belatedly shed maiden tag at Ayr (1m) 11 months ago and similar form in defeat on 3 of 4 starts thereafter for Richard Fahey. Likely C&D return/yard debut effort was needed 15 days ago and entitled to be sharper here. | |||
11th (11)  (150/1 -127%)Northern General |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Northern General 150/1, Little in the way of solid form and he again never figured on the back of 5 months off when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 29 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |

1st (7)  (4/1 +0%)Muhtashim |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Muhtashim 4/1, Muhaarar gelding who was easy to back but produced a promising first effort when third of 12 in a Kempton novice (1m) 23 days ago, running on late without being knocked about. Looks sure to improve. | |||
2nd (8)  (7.5/1 -88%)Phantom Flight |
7.5/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Phantom Flight 7.5/1, 100,000 gns 2-y-o, Siyouni colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 1½m Mrs Sippy and 1½m winner Rushmore. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). Makes appeal on paper and well worth a check in the betting for clues. | |||
3rd (1)  (25/1 +24%)King Of Unicorns |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) King Of Unicorns 25/1, Fair bumper winner who was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when fourth in a 2m novice here in December. Gelded subsequently but likely best watched un less strong in betting on Flat debut. | |||
4th (5)  (1.38/1 +15%)Bizarre Law |
1.38/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bizarre Law 1.38/1, Lawman colt who had clearly derived plenty from debut experience when getting the lead late on at Kempton (1m) in November. That form has substance and big shout on return to action. | |||
5th (6)  (1.88/1 +6%)Boulivar |
1.88/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Boulivar 1.88/1, Tagula gelding who was well backed and overcame obvious signs of greenness to make winning debut in Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f) 4 weeks ago, hanging badly right but drawing clear. Claims with improvement forthcoming. | |||
6th (4)  (200/1 -203%)City Central |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) City Central 200/1, Camacho filly who was prominent in betting but ultimately offered little when fifth of 6 in a Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) back in August. Changed hands for 5,000 gns in October and handicaps may be more her bag in due course. | |||
7th (9)  (250/1 -100%)Rainbow Rain |
250/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rainbow Rain 250/1, Acclamation gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1m Fintas. Sent off at 80/1 and could only run to a poor level when last of 11 in a 7f maiden here back in September. Can only be watched on return. | |||
8th (10)  (200/1 -203%)World Cruise |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) World Cruise 200/1, Mondialiste gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 6f). Displayed only greenness when well beaten ninth of 10 in a Southwell maiden (1m) 2 weeks ago, off bridle long way out and never a threat. | |||
9th (2)  (125/1 -150%)Kopa Kilana |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kopa Kilana 125/1, Milan gelding who won a small-field Musselburgh bumper in October but finished well held both starts in maiden/novice hurdles upon returning in recent weeks. Passed over making Flat debut. |

(4)  (1.1/1 -21%)Robert Walpole |
1.1/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Robert Walpole 1.1/1, Promising type. Built on encouraging second on handicap/yard debut when going one better at Southwell (1m) 15 days ago. Highly likely there's more to come from this low-mileage 5-y-o. | |||
(3)  (3.33/1 +17%)Coase |
3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Coase 3.33/1, Pair of polytrack wins this year and has shaped well when runner-up on this surface in recent starts, looking unlucky over C&D on penultimate outing. Prominent showing likely. | |||
(2)  (6/1 -20%)Bringitonboris |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bringitonboris 6/1, Four-time C&D winner, including twice in the autumn. Likely to be in the mix if primed after nearly 5 months off. | |||
(7)  (9/1 +44%)Abnaa |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Abnaa 9/1, Four AW wins since November, the latest over C&D in February. Creditable fourth (Coase second) over C&D last week. Ought to remain competitive. | |||
(8)  (9/1 -13%)Broctune Red |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Broctune Red 9/1, Six of his 7 career wins have come over this C&D, the latest gained in a Class 6 15 days ago. That record makes him a dangerous one to discount but this is a stronger race. | |||
(5)  (22/1 -57%)Holy Endeavour |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Holy Endeavour 22/1, Course winner. 16/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 39 days ago. Others hold stronger claims. | |||
(6)  (22/1 -57%)Dogged |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dogged 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. First run since leaving David Elsworth when fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, 3/1) 15 days ago. May do better with the run behind him. | |||
(1)  (125/1 -56%)Hats Off To Larry |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hats Off To Larry 125/1, Pretty useful on the Flat in his day but only modest over hurdles in more recent times. Left Oliver Greenall after a lesser run in September and has had wind surgery ahead of this Flat return for a new trainer. |

3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Loose Lips 3.33/1, Improved when close second over C&D on penultimate start. Not seen to best effect when fourth over 6f at Wolverhampton since. Worth another chance back at 7f. | |||
(1)  (3.33/1 +52%)Come On John |
3.33/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Come On John 3.33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (1m) 42 days ago. Makes handicap debut. | |||

6.5/1(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ba Na Hills 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, sixth of 7 in novice at this course (6f) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test. Potential improver now handicapping over further. | |||
(7)  (8/1 +33%)Urban Road |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Urban Road 8/1, Modest form. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (1m) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. | |||

11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Steppes 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, good sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 48 days ago, fading inside final 1f. Return to 1m may help on that evidence. | |||
(10)  (12/1 +40%)Hello Power |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hello Power 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Never a threat when seventh of 9 in C&D handicap 21 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. | |||

14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Moon Bay 14/1, Failed to build on reappearance third when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, 16/1) 14 days ago. Steps back up in trip now. | |||
(11)  (25/1 -25%)Cobra Kai |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Cobra Kai 25/1, Barely modest form on turf as a juvenile, including in handicaps. Improvement needed now switching to AW on return to action. | |||
(4)  (66/1 -313%)Dandy's Diva |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dandy's Diva 66/1, Modest form for Tom Clover as a juvenile. Watching brief the percentage call on her return for a new trainer. | |||

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.
