1st (7)  (1.1/1 -10%)Scriptwriter |
1.1/1(-10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Scriptwriter 1.1/1, Useful Flat winner last seen finishing a good fifth of 9 to Piz Badile in Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown in April on final start for Aidan O'Brien. Changed hands for 62,000 gns in July and gelded ahead of this hurdles bow. Could outclass these. | |||
2nd (4)  (2.25/1 +10%)My Brother Jack |
2.25/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Brother Jack 2.25/1, Off the mark on the level in 5-runner handicap over 1¾m in August and took really well to new discipline when runner-up over C&D 3 weeks ago. That sets a fair standard and there's every chance there's more to come. | |||
3rd (8)  (7/1 +7%)Cianciana |
7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cianciana 7/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 11f), won in August and fared as well as could be expected in a much deeper race last month. Hurdles debut. | |||
4th (9)  (4/1 +56%)Eclairant Le Monde |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eclairant Le Monde 4/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who showed aptitude for hurdling on the back of a wind op at Cartmel in August, albeit she was too free to last out. No surprise a hood is reached for. | |||
5th (5)  (80/1 -142%)Octopus |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Octopus 80/1, Modest on the level for Kevin Philippart De Foy. May have found conditions too testing when well held for new yard 10 days ago and quickly sent hurdling. | |||
|U| (1)  (28/1 -27%)Fiftyshadesaresdev |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fiftyshadesaresdev 28/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m), below form last 2 starts. Stamina isn't copper-bottomed now hurdling with cheekpieces back on. | |||
|U| (3)  (80/1 -142%)Methinks |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Methinks 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Needs to improve markedly for the new discipline to trouble a few of these. | |||
|PU| (2)  (50/1 +0%)Hulton Ranger |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hulton Ranger 50/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 7f), below form last 2 starts. Looks up against it even if taking to hurdling/staying the trip. | |||
|PU| (6)  (66/1 -32%)Red Command |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Red Command 66/1, Limited impact only in 4 Flat starts. | |||
|PU| (10)  (80/1 -21%)Silver Vision |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Silver Vision 80/1, Modest maiden at best on the Flat but lost her way. Half-sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser Cubomania but pulled too hard, even with a hood, when fading out of it on hurdles bow 3 weeks ago. |

1st (5)  (7.5/1 -25%)Big Changes |
7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Big Changes 7.5/1, Well held in novice hurdles, leaving Philip Kirby prior to penultimate start. Unable to meet expectations (sweated up badly beforehand) sent chasing after 8 months off when well-beaten in a match at Wetherby on Wednesday so percentage call is best to look elsewhere. | |||
2nd (7)  (22/1 +12%)Quiet Flow |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Quiet Flow 22/1, Fairly useful in bumpers but underwhelmed over hurdles and having been sold from Dan Skelton £3,500 in May, finished last of 6 on chase debut at Hexham (15.6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Step up in trip in his favour but tough to fancy. | |||
3rd (6)  (3.2/1 +20%)Myburg |
3.2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Myburg 3.2/1, Progressive from low base over timber and continued that theme to make a winning chase debut at this course in April. Pulled up at Hexham next time but shaped well after 4 months off faced with a barely adequate test at this track last month. Respected back over fences. | |||
4th (1)  (4/1 -145%)Raecius Felix |
4/1(-145%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Raecius Felix 4/1, Has made all the last twice, showing a willing attitude at Kelso on latest. Remains well treated on old form and this presents a good opportunity to complete the hat-trick. | |||
5th (3)  (33/1 -65%)Glan Y Gors |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glan Y Gors 33/1, Won at Cartmel in July but has failed to match that in both subsequent starts in this sphere, seeming to find it too much of a test of speed when tailed-off last at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago. Back up in trip today and expected to fare better. | |||
6th (4)  (2.25/1 +78%)Twilight Glory |
2.25/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Twilight Glory 2.25/1, In the frame on both appearances in points and pair of fourth-placed finishes in novices. Failed to improve over a much longer trip on handicap debut at Wincanton in March and now attentions are switched to the larger obstacles. | |||
7th (8)  (16/1 -33%)Darius Des Sources |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Darius Des Sources 16/1, Hurdles winner who opened chase account at Ayr (20.5f) in November 2020. Winless subsequently but shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggested when fifth at Perth last month, likely to have finished third if not for a late error. Could feature. | |||
8th (9)  (16/1 +36%)To The Limit |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) To The Limit 16/1, Winner at Kelso in January and ran up to best when runner-up over the extended 3¼m at this venue. Pulled up on last couple of outings (first one over timber) which makes him tough to support after 5 months off the track. | |||
9th (2)  (6.5/1 +19%)Bari Breeze |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bari Breeze 6.5/1, Bumper winner who posted his best effort over hurdles when second in 18.5f Exeter handicap in February. Failed to meet expectations sent chasing at Plumpton back in March but he's one to look out for on reappearance (surely capable of better). |

12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Larry Looby 12/1, Went through a tremendous spell this summer, completing the 4-timer in 3-runner contest over C&D in August. Found his run of good form coming to a halt at Hexham last time, though. | |||
2nd (6)  (11/1 +21%)Ballintogher Boy |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ballintogher Boy 11/1, Won a low-grade staying handicap at Newcastle (3m) in March. Not in the same form when only sixth over C&D on final start and he has to race from 3 lb out of the handicap on his return to action. | |||
3rd (1)  (1.1/1 -21%)Easy Bucks |
1.1/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Easy Bucks 1.1/1, Has returned from a 14-month absence in good heart, runner-up twice before readily making all at Perth (3m) last month. 5 lb rise looks more than fair. The one to beat. | |||
4th (5)  (2.75/1 +27%)Atomic Angel |
2.75/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Atomic Angel 2.75/1, Dual hurdles winner last season, including over this trip here. Off 5 months, may well have needed the run when a remote second on her C&D chase debut 11 days ago. Capable of better in this sphere. | |||
5th (3)  (6.5/1 +41%)Almost Gold |
6.5/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Almost Gold 6.5/1, Showed he retains ability back from a long absence when third at Warwick (3m) in May but he's taken a couple of backward steps since. Needs to get back on track. | |||
|PU| (4)  (12/1 -100%)Chase The Wind |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chase The Wind 12/1, Made a winning reappearance at Market Rasen (3m) last month. rallying to lead again close hime. This veteran was hit with a 7 lb rise for that and doesn't appeal as an obvious type to follow up. |

Displayed ability in a Bangor bumper in April and bred to excel over obstacles. | |||
2nd (4)  (1.62/1 -47%)Light Em Up Nigel |
1.62/1(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Light Em Up Nigel 1.62/1, Travelled with much more purpose when runner-up on second hurdles start at Exeter in March. Shade disappointing despite occupying same spot at Newton Abbot a month later and off since but he sets the standard. | |||

5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Three Platoon 5/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (well held both starts this summer). Sound-enough start to hurdles career in recent weeks, making a mistake at a bad time when fourth at Kelso latest. | |||
4th (2)  (125/1 -25%)Charlie's Rockstar |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Charlie's Rockstar 125/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points in April but well held in bumper/completed start over hurdles. | |||

2nd (7)  (2.5/1 +44%)Raddle And Hum |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Raddle And Hum 2.5/1, Likeable mare who got off the mark for this yard in 3m Perth handicap in September and followed up at Kelso (3m2f) a fortnght ago. Not taken lightly despite another 5 lb rise. | |||
3rd (8)  (3/1 +45%)Storm Lorenzo |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Storm Lorenzo 3/1, Has taken well to fences, gaining his second 2m handicap win at Hexham in refitted cheekpieces 16 days ago. Mor is needed off a 4 lb higher mark but he's still one to consider. | |||
4th (5)  (6/1 -33%)Silver In Disguise |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Silver In Disguise 6/1, Relished the step up to a marathon distance to get off the mark over fences at Chepstow (30.6f) in March before good fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las following month. Can't be ruled out on his return. | |||

7th (1)  (7/1 -56%)The Two Amigos |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Two Amigos 7/1, Winless since 2019 but he ended last season with a good second of 5 in 3m4f handicap chase at Taunton in March. Well weighted for his seasonal return and has won off a break so merits serious consideration. | |||

16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Event Of Sivola 16/1, Hard to catch right, recording just one good run last season since making a winning comeback at Ayr. On a handy weight despite being 4 lb out of the handicap if he can find his spark. |

1.62/1(+1%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Finisk River 1.62/1, Last month's Worcester win means he's now 3-5 since fitted with a cheekpieces and tongue tie combination. Further 4 lb rise may not prevent him going in again returned to the scene of his victory in August. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.5/1 +58%)Kajaki |
2.5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kajaki 2.5/1, Snapped a long losing run here in January and underlined that this place seems to bring the best out of him when winning a 14-runner C&D event last month. Raised 4 lb for that. | |||
3rd (6)  (1.62/1 +46%)Hajey |
1.62/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hajey 1.62/1, Started 2020 with a pair of C&D wins and even better form when second of 8 on his C&D reappearance (good to soft) 11 days ago. Likely to give another good account. | |||

7.5/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jimvale 7.5/1, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam (c64/h78), winning pointer, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (19f-2½m winner) Street Value. Pulled up in Irish point (Apr 17). | |||

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.
