---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (9) (6.5/1 +0%) Bold Territories |
6.5/1(+0%) | (9) Bold Territories 6.5/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (16/5) at Newcastle (7.1f) 25 days ago. 0-7 on turf, but will be a danger to all in hat-trick bid if able to build on recent AW exploits. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (10/1 -82%) By Your Side |
10/1(-82%) | (7) By Your Side 10/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in June. 6/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. May have needed that run following a 10-week break and worth considering here off a 2 lb lower mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1.88/1 +16%) Simulation Theory |
1.88/1(+16%) | (2) Simulation Theory 1.88/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft, 9/4) 6 days ago. Probably worth taking on under a penalty here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 +14%) Come On John |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Come On John 12/1, Winner at Thirsk in April. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good, 14/1) 38 days ago. Back down in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (6/1 -9%) Royal Prospect |
6/1(-9%) | (8) Royal Prospect 6/1, Course winner. Latest win at Carlisle in August. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things once again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +0%) Russian Virtue |
7/1(+0%) | (5) Russian Virtue 7/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 11/4, third of 5 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 40 days ago. Down in trip and should have a part to play in the finish. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/1 +60%) Zlatan |
10/1(+60%) | (3) Zlatan 10/1, Temperamental sort. Fifth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper, but passed over here all the same. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/1 +29%) Old News |
10/1(+29%) | (1) Old News 10/1, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 2/1) 11 days ago. Not without each-way hope, but a few of these are more appealing from a win point of view. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (16/1 -78%) Virgo |
16/1(-78%) | (6) Virgo 16/1, Good third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/1) 27 days ago, faring best of those held up. Safely held both previous attempts on turf and likely to come up short once more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (28/1 -12%) Stripzee |
28/1(-12%) | (10) Stripzee 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. 8¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Royal Prospect in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark, but clearly has work to do. |

1st (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Belsito |
4.5/1(+25%) | (4) Belsito 4.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, last of 10 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago. Looked a hard ride on that occasion and is probably best watched here, for all that there were positives to glean from his Ayr debut in August. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1.62/1 +14%) Thankuappreciate |
1.62/1(+14%) | (2) Thankuappreciate 1.62/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 6-runner minor event (11/8) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, readily. This will be more demanding under a penalty, but dropping to the minimum trip shouldn't be an issue and he's a major player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6.5/1 -95%) Dark Crusade |
6.5/1(-95%) | (5) Dark Crusade 6.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in maiden (28/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 20 days ago. Wouldn't need to improve much on that form to play a leading role in this contest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (50/1 +24%) Fortunate Star |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Fortunate Star 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 28/1) on debut 19 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that uninspiring introduction. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 +45%) Once Adaay |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Once Adaay 11/1, Foaled March 22. Adaay colt. Brother to 5f winners Four Adaay and Miss Anaco. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Terror. Yard not synonymous with 2-y-o winners, but market check advised nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 -33%) Jaxta |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Jaxta 16/1, Fair gelding. Winner at Ripon in May. 3¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Thankuappreciate in minor event (9/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Looks set for another minor role. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Lady Jane Grey |
2.75/1(+8%) | (3) Lady Jane Grey 2.75/1, Twice-raced winner. Successful at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May. 7/2, third of 8 in minor event on the AW course there (5f) 35 days ago. Should have a big part to play if coping with conditions back on turf. |

Needs to take a step back in the right direction if he's to make a meaningful impact now going down the nursery route. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (2.5/1 -25%) Hello Deira |
2.5/1(-25%) | (1) Hello Deira 2.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 13 in minor event at Ascot (6f, good, 6/5) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Shapes as though this step up in trip will be in his favour and he's a leading candidate on this nursery debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +60%) Indiana Be |
2/1(+60%) | (4) Indiana Be 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 5/1, third of 12 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good) 32 days ago. Gelded since and needs to get back on track (shaped well when second on debut in May) if he's to play a leading role now pitched into a nursery. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8.5/1(+29%) | (8) Nightout 8.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 6 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 15 days ago. Open to improvement now switched to a nursery off what looks a plausible opening mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3.33/1(+5%) | (3) Prairie Falcon 3.33/1, Promising type. Winner at Goodwood in July. 7/1, creditable third of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago. Mark unchanged and he is high on the shortlist here with further progress likely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

10/1(+64%) | (7) War Treaty 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, fourth of 7 in nursery at Carlisle (6.9f, good) 19 days ago. Others preferred. |

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.
