1st (4)  (0.62/1 +7%)Saligo Bay |
0.62/1(+7%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Saligo Bay 0.62/1, Fair Flat winner who has made a bright start over hurdles, albeit turned over at odds on in C&D event a fortnight ago, taking a keen hold in front and jumping left at times, headed soon after the last. Surely has a race like this in him. | |||
2nd (2)  (2.25/1 +0%)Sublime Heights |
2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sublime Heights 2.25/1, Point winner. None the worse for a heavy fall here when second at Fontwell (17.7f, good, 22/1) 39 days ago, no match for promising winner. Leading claims if backing that up. | |||
3rd (3)  (40/1 -82%)Mamluk |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mamluk 40/1, Fair winner on the level in France but well held in a couple of races over hurdles for this yard in recent weeks (well behind Saligo Bay here latest). Probably more one for handicaps. | |||
4th (1)  (66/1 -164%)Cityzen Serg |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cityzen Serg 66/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 9.5f), below form last time for this yard. Hood on for hurdles debut. Work to do. | |||
5th (5)  (5.5/1 +27%)Theonlywayiswessex |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Theonlywayiswessex 5.5/1, Fair form on Flat for this yard and promise on hurdles debut at Chepstow in the autumn. One to note. | |||
6th (6)  (100/1 +0%)Sunline |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sunline 100/1, Half-sister to a jumps winner abroad. Behind in various events on the Flat, including for this yard after 8 months off in February. |

1st (3)  (8.5/1 -31%)Richie Valentine |
8.5/1(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Richie Valentine 8.5/1, Won a brace of handicaps at Bangor during the second half of 2021 but his profile has an all-or-nothing look to it, possibly amiss when pulling up back at that venue in December. Since had a breathing op. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.75/1 +22%)Uberman |
1.75/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Uberman 1.75/1, Left hurdles form behind to make winning start over fences at Lingfield in December. Would probably have followed up had rider not lost his whip here a month ago (19.8f) so he has to be of interest. | |||
3rd (1)  (5.5/1 +39%)Millies Mite |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Millies Mite 5.5/1, Claims on pick of her Irish hurdles efforts but well held in 3 runs for new yard (had a wind op during that time). Hopes rest on the switch to fences. | |||
4th (5)  (7.5/1 +6%)Devious Dicks Dame |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Devious Dicks Dame 7.5/1, Gained breakthrough success in a selling handicap hurdle here in November 2020, but overall profile is hardly compelling and she now switches to the larger obstacles. | |||
|PU| (4)  (1.88/1 -25%)Duneomeno |
1.88/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Duneomeno 1.88/1, Showed much improved form when off the mark on chase/handicap debut at Ludlow (2m) in February. Failed to cash in on a lower hurdles mark a week later but given a break since and likely to resume progress. |

1st (2)  (2/1 -23%)Bourbali |
2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bourbali 2/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 2m4f handicap successes at Sandown and over C&D. Still on the up, so not taken lightly despite taking 7 lb rise. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.25/1 +0%)Unanswered Prayers |
2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Unanswered Prayers 2.25/1, Gained his third win of the season in 5-runner novice hurdle over C&D 34 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps. | |||
3rd (3)  (6/1 +50%)Small Bad Bob |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Small Bad Bob 6/1, Bagged his third success of the campaign at Fontwell in February. Below-form ninth in handicap at Kempton (21f) 29 days ago, so needs to bounce back. | |||
4th (4)  (2.5/1 -11%)Aggagio |
2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Aggagio 2.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 11f on Flat who bids for a hat-trick in this sphere after 2m3f handicap victories at Fontwell and Hereford. Has more to offer and is weighted to go in again. |

2.5/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jony Max 2.5/1, Offered little over hurdles but much more like it over fences, runner-up twice prior to scoring at Wincanton. Good second at Fakenham when last seen on New Year's Day. Needs considering back up in trip. | |||
2nd (1)  (3.5/1 +0%)Al Roc |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Al Roc 3.5/1, Smart chaser at his peak in France but just fair nowadays. Mixed record for current yard but not disgraced at Stratford last time and return to this trip should suit. Cheekpieces re-fitted and handicapper has given him a chance. | |||
3rd (3)  (3/1 +14%)Mellow Ben |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mellow Ben 3/1, On a lengthy losing run and never threatened to get involved at Kempton latest. Back down to a career-low mark at least. | |||
|PU| (4)  (4/1 +11%)Uallrightharry |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Uallrightharry 4/1, C&D winner with creditable placed efforts 5 of 6 starts in handicap chases this season, though he was flattered by his second at Kempton latest. | |||
|PU| (2)  (7.5/1 -7%)The Cathal Don |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Cathal Don 7.5/1, Winner of a Tipperary maiden chase for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland last summer. Little impact in 5 starts for current connections this season, however (tried in headgear at Fontwell latest). Upped markedly in trip here. |

1.62/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aucunrisque 1.62/1, Impressed with his attitude when completing the hat-trick in Grade 2 Dovecote at Kempton in February. Found company too hot at Aintree since but sights lowered now and must enter calculations. | |||
2nd (4)  (9/1 +0%)Bashful Boy |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bashful Boy 9/1, Posted another respectable effort when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Fakenham (20f, soft) in January. Just 2 lb above last winning mark and warrants respect. Tongue strap on first time. | |||
3rd (2)  (5/1 -67%)Midnights Legacy |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Midnights Legacy 5/1, Useful on Flat and landed a C&D novice in the autumn. Much improved on handicap debut at Ludlow latest and must be of interest despite 8 lb rise in the weights. | |||
4th (3)  (25/1 -56%)Antunes |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Antunes 25/1, Lost his way for Dan Skelton but scored twice over fences for this yard, latest at Newbury (16.4f) earlier this month. 8 lb lower back hurdling now and can't be ruled out. | |||
5th (5)  (2.5/1 +50%)Mark Of Gold |
2.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mark Of Gold 2.5/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat and improving over hurdles, scoring for third time when taking Newbury handicap (16.3f, good) 16 days ago. Up 4 lb now but is a leading player nonetheless. | |||
|PU| (6)  (6.5/1 -63%)Swinging London |
6.5/1(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Swinging London 6.5/1, Off the mark on yard debut at Fakenham in February and stepped up on that form when sixth of 21 in Fred Winter at Cheltenham (16.4f, good) 33 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely more to come yet. |

10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Salamanca School 10/1, C&D winner in October. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Hereford (19f, good) 14 days ago and he's only 2 lb above that winning mark. | |||
2nd (8)  (11/1 +39%)Vinnie's Getaway |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vinnie's Getaway 11/1, Perth hurdle winner for Olly Murphy last summer but hasn't really threatened to add to his tally for new yard this winter. Others are preferred again. | |||
3rd (4)  (4/1 +38%)En Coeur |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) En Coeur 4/1, Good record here, including another win in January. Creditable third over C&D a fortnight ago, although Loup de Maulde was just over 3 lengths ahead in second. | |||
4th (9)  (11/1 +0%)Auld Sod |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Auld Sod 11/1, Bagged a 3m Ffos Las handicap chase off 6 lb higher for Philip Hobbs last year. Mixed record for current stable but latest course second over a much longer trip was a step back in the right direction. | |||
|B| (6)  (2.5/1 +0%)Loup De Maulde |
2.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Loup De Maulde 2.5/1, Placed on 3 of his 4 starts in handicaps, finishing runner-up (En Couer behind in third) over C&D on latest a fortnight ago. Good chance of going one better if showing up in similar form. | |||
|B| (1)  (22/1 +12%)Monty's Award |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Monty's Award 22/1, Two wins last term. Well below par this winter but he is back on a good mark if a 3-month break has a reviving effect. Worth a precautionary betting check. | |||
|F| (3)  (3.33/1 -77%)Richidish |
3.33/1(-77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Richidish 3.33/1, Aided by first-time blinkers (retained) when making his second handicap start a winning one at Fontwell (19.5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Likely to go well again if the headgear works as well a second time. | |||
|F| (7)  (25/1 +38%)On The Rise |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) On The Rise 25/1, Maiden pointer who hinted at ability in a novice/maiden hurdles early in 2021 but has yet to make an impact in handicaps. | |||
|PU| (5)  (8/1 -7%)Counteract |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Counteract 8/1, Winner of first 2 starts in this sphere last spring, the latter over C&D. Another solid display when runner-up at Market Rasen (21.5f) last May and given a break since a lesser run at Worcester 3 weeks later. Much depends on whether he's primed after his lay-off. |

1st (5)  (14/1 +0%)Constant Friday |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Constant Friday 14/1, Modest hurdler who has got back on track the last twice. Still little evidence to suggest he's better than his current mark, though. | |||
2nd (8)  (3.5/1 +0%)Mr Yeats |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mr Yeats 3.5/1, Thrived towards the end of last year, scoring twice and signing off with a good third over C&D. Solid claims if he's tuned up after 5 months off. | |||
3rd (3)  (11/1 +39%)Lil Codey |
11/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lil Codey 11/1, Modest hurdler who has offered a bit more encouragement since joining this yard but still needs to up her game if she's to figure. | |||
4th (10)  (4/1 +11%)Danzini |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Danzini 4/1, Not fully exposed and placed on both handicap outings, third at Wincanton on latest. Room for improvement in jumping, so a bigger effort is possible. | |||
5th (7)  (14/1 -56%)Kentford Mallard |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kentford Mallard 14/1, Held her form well in the spring/summer last year and has been given a chance by the handicapper since her respectable fourth at Market Rasen 5 months ago. Not a forlorn hope. | |||
6th (12)  (66/1 -32%)Iconic Mover |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Iconic Mover 66/1, Poor maiden on Flat and hurdles efforts devoid of promise. Goes up in trip for handicap debut. | |||
7th (6)  (2.75/1 +31%)Fred Bear |
2.75/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fred Bear 2.75/1, Modest hurdler who has only been denied by progressive sorts the last twice (over C&D on latest outing), so a bold showing is on the cards back down in grade. | |||
8th (4)  (6/1 -33%)Age Of Wisdom |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Age Of Wisdom 6/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Fontwell (25.8f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Down in trip. Can't be ignored from an appealing mark. | |||
9th (11)  (14/1 +36%)Scrutinise |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Scrutinise 14/1, Hinted at a revival when fifth of 10 in handicap at Stratford (19f) in October but failed to build on that since. | |||
|PU| (2)  (20/1 -11%)Sehayli |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sehayli 20/1, Completed a quick hat-trick in November 2020 but not seen again until well held at Exeter a year later. Off another 4 months. Probably best watched. | |||
|PU| (1)  (40/1 -82%)Top Beak |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Top Beak 40/1, Thrived over hurdles last spring, scoring three times. Disappointing since, however, including in a couple of chases earlier this year. Back on a handy mark and has had a break. |

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.
