1st (2)  (4.5/1 -80%)Parliament Hill |
4.5/1(-80%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Parliament Hill 4.5/1, Encouraging winning start over hurdles for new stable at Leicester over this trip in the autumn. Flopped next time and having had a wind op after, he got back on track when second at Southwell a month ago. | |||
2nd (3)  (0.57/1 +29%)Oceanline |
0.57/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oceanline 0.57/1, Useful winner at 14f on the level and fit from the Flat, he shaped quite well in a handicap hurdle at Ascot, second before a mistake at the last. Obvious claims on these terms. | |||
3rd (1)  (3/1 +40%)Genuflex |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Genuflex 3/1, Landed a juvenile maiden (16.8f) in October and backed that up when second in listed Wensleydale Hurdle at Wetherby next time. Exploits mixed since and no easy task on these terms. |

1st (1)  (1.75/1 +36%)Light N Strike |
1.75/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Light N Strike 1.75/1, Has quickly progressed over fences, off the mark over C&D in November while he might have followed up at Southwell but for losing momentum late on. Not quite in the same form at Newbury but better expected now. | |||
2nd (5)  (6.5/1 -117%)The Flying Sofa |
6.5/1(-117%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Flying Sofa 6.5/1, Fairly useful chaser but little to get excited about this season, failing to land the odds and looking awkward in the process behind Fairway Freddy here last month. No surprise blinkers are applied. | |||
3rd (2)  (1.62/1 +28%)Minella Hub |
1.62/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Minella Hub 1.62/1, Failed to trouble the judge in 3 spins over hurdles but different proposition since switched to fences, landing brace of C&D handicaps this winter. Unsuited by emphasis on speed in hat-trick bid latest and probably remains in top form. Leading claims. | |||
4th (4)  (14/1 -27%)Jan Maat |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jan Maat 14/1, Useful chaser at his best for Henry de Bromhead but has finished down the field in 4 starts hurdling/chasing for this yard and hard to see a resurgence coming here. | |||
5th (3)  (5.5/1 -57%)Fairway Freddy |
5.5/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fairway Freddy 5.5/1, Was 2-2 over C&D (including this race) last season. Slow start to the campaign but down in the weights and much more like it away from the mud when landing 3-runner contest over 19.8f a month ago. Got to be of interest again. |

1st (4)  (8/1 +6%)Sami Bear |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sami Bear 8/1, Fair return after 8 weeks off here last month (behind Tommy Dillion) and probably has races in him. Down another 2 lb as he goes back up in trip now. | |||
2nd (13)  (28/1 -40%)Come Dancing |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Come Dancing 28/1, Well held in bumpers/3 maiden hurdles. Could only be fancied on handicap debut if subject of market support. | |||
3rd (9)  (3.5/1 +50%)Mickyh |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mickyh 3.5/1, Off the mark over further here in January and resumed winning ways from just out of the handicap at Stratford in first-time blinkers recently, seen to good effect under a positive ride from Jamie Moore. Suspect he'll prove vulnerable under a penalty. | |||
4th (12)  (2.75/1 +27%)Tommy Dillion |
2.75/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Tommy Dillion 2.75/1, Maiden who looks on a good mark but proving to be a tricky ride. Surely has a race or two in him when it all falls right. | |||
5th (3)  (100/1 -203%)Shirocco's Delight |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shirocco's Delight 100/1, Modest hurdler in Ireland but well beaten both starts for new yard at the end of last year and might need a bit more respite from the handicapper. | |||
6th (10)  (22/1 -57%)Helix |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Helix 22/1, Fair 11f Flat winner. Shown a bit in 3 runs over hurdles but has work to do now handicapping off this opening mark. | |||
|PU| (2)  (4.5/1 -29%)Wells Glory |
4.5/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wells Glory 4.5/1, Impressive bumper winner on debut here a year ago. Promising efforts over hurdles during the winter (latest Fontwell form is decent) and he's very interesting now handicapping back from a break/wind op. | |||
|PU| (11)  (6.5/1 +19%)Torbellino |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Torbellino 6.5/1, Fair handicapper on Flat. No match for classy Mark of Gold here first 2 starts over hurdles and proved too free on handicap bow at Huntingdon. Could do better. | |||
|PU| (6)  (10/1 +9%)The Yellow Mini |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Yellow Mini 10/1, Successful on hurdles debut at Fontwell in September over this trip and some good runs after. May have needed her 2 starts back this year and has dropped in the weights. Interesting. | |||
|PU| (8)  (18/1 -80%)Quiana |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Quiana 18/1, French Flat winner who went close in an AW bumper at Kempton last February. Best run since over hurdles in selling event at Exeter 13 days ago, and while this is tougher, he lurks on a very tempting mark. | |||
|PU| (1)  (18/1 -29%)C'est Quelqu'un |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) C'est Quelqu'un 18/1, Shed maiden tag over hurdles at Fontwell (19.2f) in February but has folded and been pulled up twice since. Work to do. | |||
|PU| (7)  (33/1 -32%)Checkitsme |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Checkitsme 33/1, Opened her account at Leicester in January over further. Couple of good placed efforts after but sold from Milton Harris £6,500 since latest run 3 weeks ago. Probably still not on a bad mark. |

(2)  (2/1 +0%)Golden Boy Grey |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Golden Boy Grey 2/1, Bagged his third victory this term with career best in 5-runner handicap at Ascot (16.8f) 22 days ago. Up 5 lb but was well on top at the finish there so not taken lightly. | |||
(1)  (2.25/1 +36%)Annual Invictus |
2.25/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Annual Invictus 2.25/1, Dual winner in first half of the season, including in a match over C&D, and not disgraced in first-time cheekpieces when third of 6 to Does He Know in Reynoldstown at Ascot (23.8f) 58 days ago. Much respected. | |||
(5)  (3/1 +33%)Ballinsker |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ballinsker 3/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after wins over C&D and at Chepstow. Hit with 9 lb rise by the assessor though so he needs more to go in again. | |||
(4)  (5.5/1 -83%)Rose Sea Has |
5.5/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rose Sea Has 5.5/1, Consistent sort who bids for a hat-trick after recent handicap wins at Fontwell and Wetherby. Scored readily on latter occasion and weighted to go close despite taking 7 lb hike in the weights. | |||
(3)  (12/1 -85%)Mercian Prince |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mercian Prince 12/1, Ridden too aggressively when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f) 147 days ago. Cheekpieces back on (won this in 2019 in them) and not discounted returning from a break. |

(1)  (1/1 +33%)Sainte Doctor |
1/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sainte Doctor 1/1, French Flat winner who has raised her game in this sphere following a breathing op/fitting of a tongue strap. Something to spare when scoring at Uttoxeter last time, so follow-up is on the cards. | |||
(5)  (2.75/1 +50%)Brown Bullet |
2.75/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Brown Bullet 2.75/1, Course winner who is edging back down the weights despite some respectable recent efforts. Should be suited by a return to this trip, so she's worth considering. | |||
(3)  (4/1 +11%)Shirocco's Dream |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shirocco's Dream 4/1, £260,000 purchase who has scored twice over hurdles and got back on track when third of 5 at Wincanton 19 days ago, albeit not looking well treated. Goes back up in trip, now. | |||
(4)  (8/1 -100%)Puffin Bay |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Puffin Bay 8/1, Has done well in a short time, opening her account over hurdles at Wincanton in November and backing it up with a creditable third at Ludlow 4 months ago. Can get involved if ready to go. |

(1)  (1/1 -49%)Blade Runner |
1/1(-49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blade Runner 1/1, Point winner who left his novice hurdle runs behind when making a successful chase/handicap debut over C&D in first time cheekpieces (retained) 5 weeks ago. Likely more to come and hard to beat. | |||
(3)  (1/1 +28%)Timely Gift |
1/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Timely Gift 1/1, Has reacted well to cheekpieces when winning at Chepstow (3m) and second at Taunton in recent weeks. Should give another good account. | |||
(2)  (12/1 +25%)Churchtown Glen |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Churchtown Glen 12/1, Sole success came back in 2018 and no signs of taking advantage of drop down the weights this term. Visored first time. |

(1)  (2.5/1 -25%)Blame The Game |
2.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blame The Game 2.5/1, Step back in right direction returned to hurdles when fourth of 5 over C&D last month. Failed to build on that at Newbury since but this is less competitive and he's potentially well treated off a clear career-low mark. | |||
(2)  (2.5/1 +44%)The Tin Miner |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Tin Miner 2.5/1, Bagged a Huntingdon handicap hurdle last term and in the frame on all 5 outings this season. Given a chance by the handicapper (dropped 4 lb after last time) and capable of playing a prominent role. | |||
(6)  (4/1 +67%)Ding Ding |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ding Ding 4/1, It's now 16 runs since her last win in 2019 and she didn't shape with much obvious promise when fifth of 7 at Fontwell in blinkers last time. Visor given a go now. | |||
(4)  (5.5/1 -38%)Wilderness |
5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wilderness 5.5/1, Struggled over hurdles this winter but ran better when runner-up on her Exeter chase debut 4 weeks ago. Certainly on a feasible mark if she can reproduce that form back over the smaller obstacles. | |||
(3)  (8/1 -100%)Jumping Cats |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jumping Cats 8/1, Got his act together with wins at Fontwell/Fakenham in October but has found life tougher since. Bit better when third over C&D in first-time blinkers (retained) latest but he was beaten 18 lengths. | |||
(5)  (14/1 +0%)Sackett |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sackett 14/1, Temperament has got the better of him this season. Mark is in freefall as a result but certainly no guarantee that a switch back to hurdling will spark him back to life. |

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.
