(5)  (22/1 -10%)Raqisa |
22/1(-10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Raqisa 22/1, Fair winner on the Flat who was sold from Jedd O'Keeffe for £11,000. No easy task on hurdles bow. | |||
1st (3)  (0.83/1 +45%)Moulins Clermont |
0.83/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moulins Clermont 0.83/1, Fairly useful form on debut in France over this trip but disappointed (sent off evens) starting out for this yard at Fontwell on return Worth another chance. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.88/1 -7%)Malakahna |
1.88/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Malakahna 1.88/1, Flat winner from 2 starts in France. Acquired for €40,000 thereafter and perfect start to hurdling career when landing Fakenham juvenile. Only fifth when upped in class at Aintree but this easier. | |||
3rd (2)  (12/1 +14%)Family Time |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Family Time 12/1, Lost all chance at start only outing on Flat and just modest form when runner-up both starts over hurdles in the summer. | |||
|PU| (1)  (8/1 -100%)Romeo's Bond |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Romeo's Bond 8/1, Modest maiden on Flat but quickly a better hurdler, winning at Exeter in November. No match for Forever Blessed over C&D next time, though. More needed. |

1st (5)  (2/1 +0%)Martello Sky |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Martello Sky 2/1, Improving mare who made it 2-3 this term with stylish success in 20f handicap hurdle at Cheltenham 28 days ago. Holds very good claims. | |||
2nd (2)  (16/1 -33%)Anythingforlove |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Anythingforlove 16/1, Resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (3m) 23 days ago. C&D scorer too, so she can't be dismissed. | |||
3rd (3)  (12/1 -33%)Skyace |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Skyace 12/1, Useful hurdler at her best but he's been below par this term, well-beaten seventh in Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. This is easier, but she still needs to step forward. | |||
4th (1)  (12/1 +0%)Whitehotchillifili |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whitehotchillifili 12/1, Landed this contest 12 months ago and she shaped encouragingly when sixth of 12 in handicap over C&D 35 days ago, ridden too aggressively and tiring late. Tongue strap on. Needs considering. | |||
5th (4)  (0.83/1 +17%)Gauloise |
0.83/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gauloise 0.83/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who signed off for last term with easy win in 2m listed hurdle at Punchestown in April. Irish raider is sure to make her presence felt back up in trip on her return. |

(5)  (9/1 -38%)Kilbrook |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kilbrook 9/1, Ex-pointer who made a successful debut over fences in a thin Carlisle handicap (2½m) on return in October. Much more on his plate here, but 4 lb rise fair and he may have more to offer. | |||
1st (1)  (1.25/1 +17%)Farinet |
1.25/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Farinet 1.25/1, Ex-French chaser who looked good when landing a C&D listed handicap on final start of last season. Pulled up on return at Cheltenham, but should come on for that run and he remains with potential. | |||
2nd (3)  (7.5/1 +32%)Luckofthedraw |
7.5/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Luckofthedraw 7.5/1, Very much back in form for his new trainer with wins at Fontwell and Huntingdon in November. Runner-up last 2 starts and should again make his presence felt with conditions no problem. | |||
3rd (4)  (6.5/1 +0%)Goa Lil |
6.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Goa Lil 6.5/1, In good form in handicaps, both in this sphere and over hurdles in recent months. Jumped more fluently than is often the case when runner-up at Kempton last time, but this is more demanding. | |||
4th (8)  (10/1 +9%)Darebin |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Darebin 10/1, Temperamental sort who bounced back in changed headgear to win handicap chase at Fontwell in October. Good second here last time, but couldn't be sure he'll be able to back that up. | |||
|PU| (7)  (5/1 +41%)Red Happy |
5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Red Happy 5/1, Three-time winner over fences for Gabriel Leenders in France, scoring twice in November. Since claimed for €20,352 and, though his form is hard to quantify, he's very much of interest on UK debut. | |||
|PU| (6)  (7/1 +50%)Chef D'equipe |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chef D'equipe 7/1, Useful chaser on his day (winner of this race in 2018), but it's hard not to have reservations given that he was well held when returning to action (first run following a wind op) at Ludlow. | |||
|PU| (2)  (14/1 -56%)Redzor |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Redzor 14/1, Absent since pulled up in National Hunt Chase at the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. Resumes on an attractive mark and yard can ready one following a layoff, but this is a big ask following such an absence. |

1st (7)  (2.75/1 -22%)Gunsight Ridge |
2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gunsight Ridge 2.75/1, Didn't do much wrong over hurdles last term and this point winner improved from his chase debut when runner-up at Exeter last month, unlucky to bump into a progressive rival. Heading the right way. | |||
2nd (3)  (12/1 -9%)Bun Doran |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bun Doran 12/1, Grade 2 winner 2 years ago. Largely struggled after but on the back of a wind op proved he retains ability when third on return at Cheltenham. Similar form a month later but others make more appeal. | |||
3rd (1)  (6/1 +20%)Moonlighter |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moonlighter 6/1, Benefited from an attacking ride when successful over this C&D last February. However, not quite scaled those same heights since, finishing tamely into fifth at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago. | |||
4th (5)  (2.25/1 +10%)Numitor |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Numitor 2.25/1, Improved for the switch to chasing last winter, making all in pair of 2m novice handicaps. Resumed progress when scoring at Wetherby on return, typically jumping well, and matched the form at Newbury. | |||
|PU| (6)  (4.5/1 +40%)Up The Straight |
4.5/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Up The Straight 4.5/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who made most of a good opportunity to land 3-runner novice chase at Plumpton. Never a threat in Paddy Power Gold Cup and Grade 2 on next 2 starts but this more realistic level. | |||
|PU| (4)  (8/1 +6%)Monsieur Lecoq |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Monsieur Lecoq 8/1, Smart over timber a couple of seasons back and went close off this mark in 16.8f Ascot handicap chase in October. Not so good on both starts since, the first one to struggle at Lingfield 19 days ago. | |||
|PU| (2)  (25/1 -25%)Paddy's Poem |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Paddy's Poem 25/1, Tremendously consistent and gained reward for a couple of good placed efforts when scoring at Wincanton last March. Run a fortnight later at Cheltenham easily excused and may need this on return. |

1st (1)  (0.4/1 -21%)Constitution Hill |
0.4/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Constitution Hill 0.4/1, Irish point recruit who created a really good impression when making a winning start over hurdles in a C&D novice 5 weeks ago, travelling strongly and quickening clear. Very exciting prospect. | |||
2nd (3)  (14/1 +13%)Jetoile |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jetoile 14/1, Placed just once in 4 Irish points but he's quickly developed into a useful novice hurdler, making all in Chepstow maiden and Leicester novice around 2½m. Back down in trip here. | |||
3rd (4)  (9/1 +25%)Mr Glass |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mr Glass 9/1, Dual bumper winner last season and has landed a 19.5f Chepstow maiden and 2¾m Newcastle novice since switching to hurdles. Shorter trip asks different question but he likely has more to offer. | |||
4th (5)  (5.5/1 +27%)Shallwehaveonemore |
5.5/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shallwehaveonemore 5.5/1, Made impressive winning bumper debut at Kempton in March and shaped with plenty of promise when second on Ascot hurdle debut, form which has been boosted by the third winning since. Sure to improve. | |||
5th (6)  (40/1 +20%)Whizz Kid |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Whizz Kid 40/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) in Germany so clearly quite an interesting recruit to hurdles but this is a tough starting point. | |||
|PU| (2)  (22/1 -38%)Datsalrightgino |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Datsalrightgino 22/1, Fairly useful and consistent in bumpers last season and 2-2 over hurdles, namely novices at Fontwell and Cheltenham. More to come and well worth a go at this higher level. |

18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Prime Venture 18/1, Cosy winner of a 3-runner Sedgefield handicap on return last season prior to finishing fifth in the Welsh National. Not returned in much form though, pulled up in Haydock veterans' event last month. | |||
2nd (4)  (3.33/1 +5%)Final Nudge |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Final Nudge 3.33/1, Very lightly raced in recent years but ran a cracker when third in Midlands National in March and matched that to land a veterans' event on return at Warwick (3m) in November. Expected to feature. | |||
3rd (2)  (22/1 -83%)Sir Ivan |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sir Ivan 22/1, Sound third in this race 12 months ago and ended the campaign with success at Newbury (26f) in March. Respectable efforts since, fourth in 3m veterans' event at Warwick in November. Can go well again. | |||
4th (7)  (18/1 +18%)Dashing Perk |
18/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dashing Perk 18/1, Course winner who went close on a couple of occasions last term and shaped better than being pulled up suggests at Haydock (25.5f) in December (still in touch 4 out). Still, yet to win over this far. | |||
5th (11)  (22/1 +12%)Valadom |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Valadom 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (20f) last winter and signed off with pair of placed efforts at Newbury. Bad mistake never aided his cause when third on C&D return in December and not discounted. | |||
|PU| (1)  (3.5/1 +0%)Aso |
3.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aso 3.5/1, Smart chaser who hasn't scored for a while but stepped up on return in Paddy Power Gold Cup when second behind resurgent Blaklion in veterans' event at Haydock (25.5f) last month. Big player. | |||
|PU| (12)  (7/1 +42%)Indy Five |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Indy Five 7/1, Useful chaser at his peak who benefited from return to positive tactics when running out 5-length winner of a Doncaster veterans' event (3m) last month. 8 lb higher now but clearly back in good heart. | |||
|PU| (6)  (8/1 +20%)Gwencily Berbas |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gwencily Berbas 8/1, Consistent upon joining present yard this spring and relished first crack at a marathon to end losing run at Exeter (30.7f) last month. Will need to keep the errors to a minimum again here, though. | |||
|PU| (5)  (9/1 +10%)The Kings Writ |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Kings Writ 9/1, Winless since 2018 but ran well on a couple of times from higher marks in staying handicaps last term. Highly likely last month's Exeter return (19.2f) was needed and step back up in trip a plus. | |||
|PU| (3)  (10/1 -18%)Wandrin Star |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wandrin Star 10/1, Has long since boasted a fine record fresh and enhanced that when landing a leg of this series over C&D in November (following a wind op). However, whether he will back that up is open to question. | |||
|PU| (9)  (14/1 -17%)Rolling Dylan |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rolling Dylan 14/1, Winless since 2018 but proved he retains plenty of ability in a couple of runs this winter, runner-up in a C&D amateurs chase last month. However, others appeal more for win purposes. | |||
|PU| (13)  (22/1 +12%)Dancing Shadow |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Dancing Shadow 22/1, Returned in good heart, keeping on for second in a C&D veterans' event prior to a good fourth from the front behind Gwencily Berbas at Exeter (30.7f) in December. Should give another good account. | |||
|PU| (10)  (66/1 -32%)Psychedelic Rock |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Psychedelic Rock 66/1, Thrived in the spring, winning 3 times over fences, latterly at Kempton (3m) in May. Not in same form in Summer Cup but likely return at Haydock (25.5f) last month was needed. Cheekpieces back on. |

25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hydroplane 25/1, Progressive over timber last term, notching 4 victories (latest in April). Good third in Chester Plate back on the Flat but pulled up back hurdling at Doncaster 42 days ago. Tongue tie now fitted. | |||
2nd (4)  (7.5/1 +38%)Zambezi Fix |
7.5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Zambezi Fix 7.5/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish hurdler who bettered that form over fences last term. Good second over C&D on penultimate outing and shaped as if still in form back chasing last time. Not dismissed. | |||
3rd (6)  (10/1 +0%)Mcgowan's Pass |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mcgowan's Pass 10/1, Good record over 2m at Ayr. Shaped as if better for the run on first outing for 7 months off/since leaving Sandy Thomson at Haydock earlier this month, much better than distance beaten. Interesting. | |||
4th (5)  (3/1 -33%)Hermes Boy |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hermes Boy 3/1, Lightly raced 5yo who confirmed previous promise when opening his account in ready style in an Exeter novice last month. Form looks solid and there's more to come, so every chance he can follow up. | |||
5th (3)  (3.33/1 +33%)Mack The Man |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mack The Man 3.33/1, Added to his decent record when fresh when landing a 2m Exeter handicap last month. Only raised 3 lb and merits serious consideration, for all that this tougher. | |||
6th (2)  (6.5/1 -8%)Volkovka |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Volkovka 6.5/1, Dual scorer last season who regained the winning thread at Carlisle in November. Better still when runner-up here last month, but drop back to 2m isn't necessarily in her favour. | |||
7th (1)  (10/1 -18%)Navajo Pass |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Navajo Pass 10/1, Progressed again last term, landing Musselburgh handicap and Haydock Grade 2. Signed off with a poor run, though, and down the field over C&D on reappearance. Needs cheekpieces to perk him up. | |||
8th (8)  (5.5/1 +8%)Natural History |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Natural History 5.5/1, Back to something like his smart Flat form when hacking up in 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle last March. Disappointing since, but edging down the weights and couldn't rule out if settling better. |

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.
