(4) Love Billy Boy 9/2, Two encouraging efforts here this spring, going down only narrowly in a big field when stepped up to this trip for the first time at the Guineas meeting. Even a 4 lb rise may not stop him.
Beaten a nose over C&D a fortnight ago; 4lb higher here and needs a bit more again.

(2) Dashing Darcey 4/1, Won a pair of 1m Lingfield novices on AW in December and has made a good start to his turf and handicap career when placed around 7f at Newbury and Chester in recent weeks. Should give another good account.
This mark is within range and having experienced 3lb claimer Aidan Keeley up won't hurt.

(5) Gressington 3/1, Plenty of promise in novice events over 7f, even allowing he was turned over at short odds on his Southwell reappearance 39 days ago. Appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps.

Serene Seraph

(1) Serene Seraph 7/1, Won in the mud at Newbury last autumn but well held in a 6f course listed race on final start. Tough to argue her opening mark looks generous.
Needs more again now handicapping back from an absence but that wouldn't be a surprise.

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. 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.
