5th (4)  (10/1 -43%)Fierce |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fierce 10/1, Given a considerate introduction when sixth of 13 in novice event (22/1) at Windsor (6f, firm) on debut 24 days ago. May well do better. | |||

1st (2)  (3/1 -20%)Cosmic Desert |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cosmic Desert 3/1, New Approach gelding who is proving consistent rather than progressive, not disgraced despite not settling in the hood when third of 4 in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago (Maytree Respite second). Should give another good account. | |||
2nd (3)  (3.2/1 +9%)Maytree Respite |
3.2/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Maytree Respite 3.2/1, AW novice winner (8.6f) in December and progressed again in handicaps (in line with longer trip) narrowly coming out on top at Newbury (10f) prior to a good second from the front over C&D 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt again. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.25/1 +34%)Frantastic |
1.25/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Frantastic 1.25/1, Frankel colt who confirmed promise of his debut when running out a convincing winner of a Newcastle novice (1m) in November. Struggled to make an impact when last of 6 in C&D Classic Trial on return in April but feasible to think he can get back on the up. Handicap debut. | |||
4th (4)  (8.5/1 -70%)Conservative |
8.5/1(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Conservative 8.5/1, Southwell novice winner (1m) in March who has ran well in handicaps at up to 1m subsequently, close-up third of 4 at Yarmouth (1m) 35 days ago. Goes up further in trip now and blinkers may put an extra edge on him. | |||
5th (5)  (18/1 -29%)Stevenson |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Stevenson 18/1, Confirmed debut promise to land a Kempton novice (1m) in March. Similar form subsequently, far from disgraced when last of 5 at Haydock (1m) when last seen in May. Gelded since but longer trip needs to unlock some improvement on return from 3 months off. |

1st (1)  (3/1 +14%)Global Esteem |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Global Esteem 3/1, Scored at Leicester in May and posted a few of solid efforts in defeat since, latest when third at Ascot (7f, good to firm) just under a fortnight ago. Back down to last winning mark so fancied to be in the mix. | |||
2nd (3)  (2.25/1 +18%)Majestic Fighter |
2.25/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Majestic Fighter 2.25/1, Stepped up on reappearance effort when narrowly beaten at Doncaster in May. Had a couple of months off and ultimately paid the price for getting racing with the long-time leader early in the straight when third at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Remains one to be positive about. | |||
3rd (5)  (5.5/1 +15%)Last Hoorah |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Last Hoorah 5.5/1, Standout effort this year came when runner-up at Wolverhampton in May. First-time blinkers failed to make much of an impact at Chester last month (went left under pressure) but claimer takes a useful 7 lb off his back so he's impossible to discount. | |||
4th (4)  (7/1 -75%)Devasboy |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Devasboy 7/1, Has something of an up-and-down profile, doubling his tally for the year at Chester in June but only managing to beat one rival home on his last couple of outings. Bit to prove after that but William Buick on board for the first time. | |||
5th (2)  (3.33/1 +0%)Marlay Park |
3.33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Marlay Park 3.33/1, Opened his account for the season when getting up late in the piece at Epsom 3 weeks ago. Just 2 lb higher for that success today so he's sure to be popular. |

1st (4)  (3/1 +25%)Island Bandit |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Island Bandit 3/1, Sharpened up by blinkers when making all in a 4-runner event at Newbury last month, not fully extended. Can make another bold bid if the blinkers have the same positive effect. | |||
2nd (1)  (5/1 +9%)Crystal Casque |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Crystal Casque 5/1, Course winner who arrives in good order, running up here the last twice, so seems likely to give another good account. | |||
3rd (7)  (2/1 -45%)Fulfilled |
2/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fulfilled 2/1, Improving 3yo who had something up his sleeve when landing a 6-runner handicap at Newmarket 13 days ago. Open to further improvement and capable of following up if the pace is solid. | |||
4th (3)  (3.33/1 +17%)Snapcracklepop |
3.33/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Snapcracklepop 3.33/1, Returned with an improved showing as he made a successful handicap debut at Nottingham (extended 1m) in June but was a bit of a disappointment at Haydock next time. Not one to write off just yet, though. | |||
5th (5)  (12/1 -50%)Alezan |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alezan 12/1, 16/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton when last seen. Only averagely treated and has an 8-month absence to overcome. | |||
6th (6)  (25/1 +0%)Satellite Call |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Satellite Call 25/1, Fair form to date (fifth in a maiden at Bath last time) and will need to up his game significantly to defy a stiff-looking opening mark. |

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.
