1st (1) (1.1/1 +41%) Breguet Boy |
1.1/1(+41%) | (1) Breguet Boy 1.1/1, Twenty-three runs since last win in 2020. First run since leaving Michael Attwater when good second of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 5 days ago. Leading claims, for all that he'd be meeting some of these on better terms if this were a handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (3.5/1 +65%) We Still Believe |
3.5/1(+65%) | (9) We Still Believe 3.5/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 47 days ago. Back up in trip on this debut for new yard and looks vulnerable, for all that he technically has a fighting chance at the weights. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (20/1 -208%) Coligone Kate |
20/1(-208%) | (3) Coligone Kate 20/1, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 10 in minor event (4/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 7 days ago. Back up in trip and she's a key player on these terms. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/1 -27%) Visitant |
7/1(-27%) | (8) Visitant 7/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. 9/1, creditable fourth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) 30 days ago, slowly away. Could be a factor if on a going day. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/1 -69%) Mr Gambino |
11/1(-69%) | (4) Mr Gambino 11/1, Modest gelding. Creditable third of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago. Each-way shout. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 +63%) Captain Pugwash |
6/1(+63%) | (2) Captain Pugwash 6/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 33/1) 38 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that low-key display. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -100%) Penelopeblueyes |
50/1(-100%) | (6) Penelopeblueyes 50/1, Modest filly. Last of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) when last seen in October, weakening quickly. Cheekpieces on 1st time and would have an each-way chance if the headgear helps her reproduce something akin to her peak turf form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (16/1 -146%) Odd Venture |
16/1(-146%) | (5) Odd Venture 16/1, Modest gelding. One win from 25 Flat runs. First run since leaving R. K. Watson when fourth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and faces a tall order on these terms. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (250/1 -1463%) True Companion |
250/1(-1463%) | (7) True Companion 250/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2017. Off 24 months and up in trip on this tapeta debut/first run for yard after leaving Hugh Beggs. Best watched. |

18/1(+10%) | (6) Victory March 18/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 14/1) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

80/1(-21%) | (7) Smart Lass 80/1, 66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. |

1st (3) (1.2/1 +47%) Silver Nightfall |
1.2/1(+47%) | (3) Silver Nightfall 1.2/1, Winner here in January and has found only one too good on both handicaps starts since. Should remain competitive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 -60%) Margaret's Fuchsia |
12/1(-60%) | (4) Margaret's Fuchsia 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden who improved again when second of 9 in maiden (18/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 17 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut and needs considering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Violeta |
2.25/1(+25%) | (1) Violeta 2.25/1, Showed improved form on just her second handicap start when third of 10 to Monty Man at this course (7.1f) in November, running on after being badly hampered/forced to switch 3f out. Off since but still merits consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (3.5/1 -27%) Direct Hit |
3.5/1(-27%) | (5) Direct Hit 3.5/1, Fair maiden who showed improved form (after 7 weeks off) when second of 7 in C&D handicap 24 days ago. Good chance of going one better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1st (3) (18/1 -13%) Afterwards |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Afterwards 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, second of 11 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 65 days ago, well positioned. Ought to improve with that experience under his belt and should have a part to play. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/1 -100%) Elim |
7/1(-100%) | (9) Elim 7/1, Promising sort. 11/1, second of 10 to Azure Angel (winner again since) in minor event at this course (7.1f) on debut in October. Will appreciate stepping up to a mile and she's a big player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5.5/1 +8%) Natzor |
5.5/1(+8%) | (6) Natzor 5.5/1, €12,000 yearling, €65,000 2-y-o, Almanzor colt. Dam French 1½m winner. Trainer’s newcomers always command respect and he's one to note in the betting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5.5/1 +15%) Pavise |
5.5/1(+15%) | (7) Pavise 5.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/2, fourth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 178 days (gelded in the interim) and looks sure to pick up a race before long but he arguably lacks the scope of some of these. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (4.5/1 +10%) Bleak |
4.5/1(+10%) | (4) Bleak 4.5/1, Highland Reel colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 1m winner Forward Flight. Represents a leading yard and it will be interesting to see which way he goes in the betting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (3/1 +0%) Postman's Park |
3/1(+0%) | (8) Postman's Park 3/1, Promising sort. 9/4, third of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 90 days ago. Remains with potential and likely to make a bold bid, particularly if setting better than he did at Kempton. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (250/1 -25%) Petite Sioux |
250/1(-25%) | (11) Petite Sioux 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D on debut 24 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (3.2/1 +20%) Kodiman |
3.2/1(+20%) | (5) Kodiman 3.2/1, Promising individual. Second of 14 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) on debut 19 days ago, clear of rest. Leading claims here with improvement on the cards now upped to a mile. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (300/1 -20%) Garswood Lady |
300/1(-20%) | (2) Garswood Lady 300/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 6 in minor event at this course (10.2f, 250/1) 20 days ago. Down in trip and it would be a big surprise were she to play a leading role in this contest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (300/1 -20%) Gurkhali |
300/1(-20%) | (1) Gurkhali 300/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f, 300/1) 25 days ago. Down in trip and he is very hard to fancy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (300/1 -20%) Miss Raindrop |
300/1(-20%) | (10) Miss Raindrop 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to firm). Off 8 months and readily passed over. |

1.5/1(+40%) | (1) Na Scoitear 1.5/1, 9/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 36 days ago, not ideally placed. Has to be taken seriously. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2.75/1(+54%) | (6) Merry Secret 2.75/1, Unreliable type. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1). Off 118 days and he's likely to find a few too good. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3.33/1(+5%) | (2) Gunnerside 3.33/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 5/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (5f) 11 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Final Account |
2.25/1(+10%) | (3) Final Account 2.25/1, C&D winner in February (sole success from 22 Flat runs). 5/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Expected to be bang there. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

14/1(+0%) | (4) Rajmeister 14/1, Fifth of 7 in minor event (9/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 35 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces/tongue strap and will need to bounce back to something like his best in order to belatedly shed his maiden tag. |

8/1(+27%) | (5) Swayze 8/1, 16/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) when last seen in October. Subsequently gelded and each-way chance here off the same mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (20/1 -25%) Streak Lightning |
20/1(-25%) | (14) Streak Lightning 20/1, C&D winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 11 days ago, not much room. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (28/1 -75%) Royal Parade |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Royal Parade 28/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (6f, heavy). Off 144 days ahead of this tapeta debut for new yard and the market should be a good as to what is expected of this 4-y-o. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/1 -14%) Another Investment |
8/1(-14%) | (9) Another Investment 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Respectable second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3), caught further back than ideal. Off 137 days but will be a danger to all with Daniel Tudhope aboard if fully tuned-up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Brazen Bolt |
7.5/1(-15%) | (1) Brazen Bolt 7.5/1, Four-time course winner. Seven wins from 25 Flat runs. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Latest win here in January. Sixth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2.25/1(+18%) | (8) The Green Man 2.25/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (9/4) at Kempton (6f) under Kaiya Fraser 4 days ago. Appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve there and obvious claims here given that he escapes a penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (6/1 +20%) Westmorian |
6/1(+20%) | (10) Westmorian 6/1, Two wins from 5 runs last year, the latest over this C&D in December. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1) 58 days ago, finding nothing. Clearly wasn't on-song that day and will be a threat if able to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (8/1 -23%) Bellagio Man |
8/1(-23%) | (6) Bellagio Man 8/1, C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Shade more will be needed here but he's only gone up 2 lb and can't be faulted in terms of consistency. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 -50%) Abolish |
12/1(-50%) | (7) Abolish 12/1, 5/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 12 days ago, taking record on the AW to 0-12. Others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

28/1(-40%) | (3) Fortamour 28/1, Course winner. 2¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Abolish in handicap (3/1) at Ripon (6f, good). Off 171 days and looks vulnerable from a win point of view. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (40/1 +0%) Broken Spear |
40/1(+0%) | (11) Broken Spear 40/1, 16/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 118 days and down in trip. Looks set for another struggle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (150/1 -127%) Little Earl |
150/1(-127%) | (12) Little Earl 150/1, First run since leaving Robert Cowell when seventh of 9 in handicap (28/1) at this course (5f) 12 days ago, slowly away. Best to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (14/1 +0%) Straits Of Moyle |
14/1(+0%) | (13) Straits Of Moyle 14/1, 12/1, respectable 4¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Bellagio Man in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. |

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.
