1st (5) (1.5/1 -142%) Iliko D'olivate |
1.5/1(-142%) | (5) Iliko D'olivate 1.5/1, Fair form in 2 starts on Flat and definite promise when runner-up on hurdles debut in a juvenile hurdle at Compiegne (16.9f) back in March. Very much the type to do better now starting out for top stable on back of a wind op. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (8/1 +0%) Way Out |
8/1(+0%) | (10) Way Out 8/1, Off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt back in March and he displayed plenty of ability on first 2 starts in bumpers. Not at same level at Wincanton on Boxing Day but he could well get back on track now hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (1.5/1 +63%) Pleasant Man |
1.5/1(+63%) | (9) Pleasant Man 1.5/1, Useful stayer on Flat who was picked up from Roger Charlton for 175,000 gns. Broke a blood vessel in the Adonis at Kempton on hurdles bow last February and didn't find a great deal on return at Aintree (following wind op) 37 days ago. May well come forward from that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (16/1 -78%) Bertie Wooster |
16/1(-78%) | (1) Bertie Wooster 16/1, Good pedigree and having offered little on bumper debut last spring, he took a step forward when midfield in a 15-runner Chepstow novice hurdle in November. Rates a likely type to do better again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (18/1 +10%) Court Cian |
18/1(+10%) | (2) Court Cian 18/1, Easily best effort in his 5 bumpers when runner-up at Kilbeggan on final start for Gearoid Patrick Brouder in September. Now goes hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (22/1 +21%) Faerie Cutlass |
22/1(+21%) | (11) Faerie Cutlass 22/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Showed a bit when midfield in a 16-runner Warwick bumper (2m) on debut in November, plugging on. This greater test of stamina should suit now tackling timber. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (9/1 +78%) Tango Arumba |
9/1(+78%) | (12) Tango Arumba 9/1, Irish point winner who made all on bumper debut at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in June. However, handicaps may be more his bag in this sphere judged on pair of exploits in novice/maiden company this winter. Hood goes on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (125/1 +38%) Horizon D'or |
125/1(+38%) | (4) Horizon D'or 125/1, Runner-up second of 2 starts in Irish points but he has offered little in trio of starts over hurdles. Others appeal more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (40/1 +60%) Mr Snow Way |
40/1(+60%) | (8) Mr Snow Way 40/1, Half-brother to very smart hurdler/winning chaser Summerville Boy but just minor promise in bumpers and no real short-term encouragement to glean from his efforts in maiden/novice hurdles so far this campaign. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (50/1 -79%) Harbour Shore |
50/1(-79%) | (3) Harbour Shore 50/1, €32,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. 33/1, not knocked about when ninth in 13-runner Chepstow bumper (2m) on debut in November. Hurdles debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1st (1) (1.5/1 -9%) Cap Du Mathan |
1.5/1(-9%) | (1) Cap Du Mathan 1.5/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who scored over hurdles here last January following a 2-year absence. Chase debut effort was low-key but has left that behind with creditable efforts on his next 2 starts and bold show likely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 -11%) Earth Company |
10/1(-11%) | (4) Earth Company 10/1, Successful twice from 4 starts over hurdles last season but well held on return/chase debut at Newbury. Early faller at the same course recently and he now has a bit to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Robin's Dream |
4.5/1(+10%) | (3) Robin's Dream 4.5/1, Showed plenty over hurdles during 2020/21 campaign, winner of a 2m Huntingdon maiden when last seen 19 months ago. Subsequent absence naturally a concern ahead of this chase debut but yard landed this race last year and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1.38/1 +15%) Call Of The Wild |
1.38/1(+15%) | (2) Call Of The Wild 1.38/1, Won sole bumper start and 2 of his 5 starts over timber. Respectable third on return at Ascot in October and while he didn't get very far on recent chase debut at Doncaster, this 6-y-o possesses the scope to make his mark in this sphere. |

1st (9) (0.4/1 +0%) Rare Middleton |
0.4/1(+0%) | (9) Rare Middleton 0.4/1, Fairly useful form in 2 starts on the Flat in Ireland for Andrew Oliver, winner of a 1¼m Leopardstown maiden in October (second has won since). Picked up for 215,000 gns later that month and he's an interesting recruit to hurdling for top yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 -18%) Parc D'Amour |
10/1(-18%) | (6) Parc D'Amour 10/1, Won Doncaster bumper on debut last spring and there was promise in his hurdles debut third at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on return in November. Disappointing over the same C&D since but it's too soon to write this 6-y-o off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (28/1 +30%) The Scorpion King |
28/1(+30%) | (7) The Scorpion King 28/1, Showed ability in a couple of bumpers last season, particularly when runner-up at Sedgefield, but there have been very few positives to glean from his efforts over hurdles so far. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (20/1 +20%) Uncle Arthur |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Uncle Arthur 20/1, Confirmed his debut promise when landing a 6-runner bumper at Worcester (2m) in June. Poor both starts since switched to hurdles, though, and now has plenty to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Moodofthemoment |
7.5/1(+17%) | (5) Moodofthemoment 7.5/1, Successful (beat sole other finisher) on last of 4 starts in Irish points. Bettered Rules debut effort when fourth of 15 in a heavy-ground Ffos Las maiden hurdle (15.8f) recently and possibilities here if able to build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (7/1 -17%) Bascule |
7/1(-17%) | (1) Bascule 7/1, Useful on the Flat, successful 4 times on the AW at up to 1¾m. Hasn't shown much in a couple of runs in this sphere at Newbury, albeit the races he contested there were probably significantly stronger than this and he's worth another chance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 +13%) King's Castle |
14/1(+13%) | (4) King's Castle 14/1, Fair performer on that Flat (stays 1¾m), performing with credit in handicaps at Epsom and Salisbury for new yard in September. Stamina won't be an issue now switched to hurdles and could have a part to play if his jumping passes the test. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (10) (150/1 +25%) Birdie Putt |
150/1(+25%) | (10) Birdie Putt 150/1, Winless following 5 attempts on the level for the Johnstons and, having changed hands for just 2,000 gns last month, she got no further than the first flight on her recent hurdles debut at Doncaster. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (125/1 -89%) Blazing Court |
125/1(-89%) | (2) Blazing Court 125/1, Showed only poor form in a pair of bumpers and fared no better on hurdles debut in November. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (200/1 +0%) Freddy Boy |
200/1(+0%) | (3) Freddy Boy 200/1, Very green when well held in a Huntingdon bumper in March, and having had a wind op, beaten a long way out when pulled up in novice at Hereford on hurdling debut in November. |

1st (9) (0.53/1 +0%) Afadil |
0.53/1(+0%) | (9) Afadil 0.53/1, French Flat winner in June. Starts out over hurdles in a weak race and he ought to take a bit of stopping, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Has had wind surgery. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 +25%) Mammies Boy |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Mammies Boy 9/1, 22/1, hinted at ability when 36 lengths eighth of 14 in 2m Hereford novice hurdle on debut 19 days ago. May do better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Danton |
3.5/1(-27%) | (3) Danton 3.5/1, Showed ability when fifth of 14 in bumper at Exeter on debut in November, not ideally placed. Pulled up afer reportedly losing his action on Utoxeter hurdle debut. Retains potential and could be the one to give Afadil most to do. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (22/1 +21%) Atlantic Fleet |
22/1(+21%) | (1) Atlantic Fleet 22/1, €50,000 purchase who shaped better than the result when down the field on his Chepstow bumper debut, fading after making headway out wide early in the straight. Quickly switches to hurdles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (28/1 -40%) Champagne Mesdames |
28/1(-40%) | (2) Champagne Mesdames 28/1, No show in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles. Needs first-time blinkers to spark major improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (10/1 +50%) Knowwhentorun |
10/1(+50%) | (4) Knowwhentorun 10/1, Fair maiden on Flat but has run well below that level in 2 hurdles in recent months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 +38%) Tellairsue |
25/1(+38%) | (7) Tellairsue 25/1, In need of experience when well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle in recent months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (50/1 +24%) Via Dante |
50/1(+24%) | (8) Via Dante 50/1, Maiden pointer who is likely to need more time judged on what he showed in C&D novice (good to soft) on November's Rules debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (80/1 +20%) Russies Dream |
80/1(+20%) | (6) Russies Dream 80/1, Little encouragement in a couple of bumpers and a C&D novice hurdle. |

1st (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Forever William |
5.5/1(+8%) | (10) Forever William 5.5/1, Won on Newbury hurdle debut last season and placed in Graded juvenile hurdles on his next 2 outings. Respectable efforts in handicaps at Chepstow (2m) and Cheltenham (21f) this time round and needs considering here off a reduced mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6.5/1 +28%) American Sniper |
6.5/1(+28%) | (6) American Sniper 6.5/1, Runner-up sole run in Irish point and has made a promising start under Rules, showing a good attitude when landing Chepstow maiden and a novice here in November. Shade disappointing under a double penalty over C&D last time, though, and more needed now handicapping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (1.62/1 +41%) Sayadam |
1.62/1(+41%) | (5) Sayadam 1.62/1, Kelso bumper winner who has done nothing wrong since switched to hurdles, making it 3-5 in this sphere when scoring on handicap debut at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) in November. 4 lb rise fair and he could have more to offer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (28/1 -75%) The Pink'n |
28/1(-75%) | (1) The Pink'n 28/1, Pretty useful form in this sphere a couple of seasons back but failed to beat a rival home in an AW handicap on the Flat following an absence of almost 2 years at Lingfield last month. Others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 +40%) Quoi De Neuf |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Quoi De Neuf 12/1, Aintree novice hurdle winner back in 2018 and opened chase account over 2¼m here last season. Poor on return in this sphere in November and while he fared better with cheekpieces enlisted returned to fences last time, others look more solid. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (3/1 -50%) Lady Adare |
3/1(-50%) | (4) Lady Adare 3/1, Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond and is 3-3 over hurdles, her opening win at Uttoxeter strong form, while she has completed a pair of straightforward tasks since (over C&D last time). Remains with potential now venturing into handicaps after 10 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (18/1 +36%) Lieutenant Rocco |
18/1(+36%) | (2) Lieutenant Rocco 18/1, Dual winner of novice hurdles during 2019/20 campaign and made up into a useful chaser the following season. However, he offered little in 2 starts for Harriet Brown last term and hasn't fared much better so far this season. Hood applied. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (12/1 +14%) Yes No Maybe So |
12/1(+14%) | (7) Yes No Maybe So 12/1, Won 4 handicap hurdles on the bounce upon joining this yard in 2020. Very lightly raced since but proved he retains all his ability following 18 months off when third at Kempton (2m) and this step back up in trip looks a good move. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (16/1 -100%) Throne Hall |
16/1(-100%) | (8) Throne Hall 16/1, Useful on the Flat and winner of first 2 starts over hurdles. However, soft ground appeared to be against him when beaten a fair way at Kempton last time and similar conditions forecast here. |

1st (8) (8/1 -7%) Sawpit Sienna |
8/1(-7%) | (8) Sawpit Sienna 8/1, Gained Second success at Fakenham (both 2½m) when seeing off 5 rivals in a mares' handicap in October. Came up short from inflated mark when fourth back at that venue last time but she's no forlorn hope in an open-looking handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 -14%) Never No Trouble |
4/1(-14%) | (9) Never No Trouble 4/1, Placed 3 times from 9 appearances on the Flat for Adrian Nicholls and, in receipt of her handy weight-for-age allowance, she again ran well when second at Leicester (15.5f) in November. Well in the mix back from 56 days off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4/1 +38%) My Granny Lily |
4/1(+38%) | (10) My Granny Lily 4/1, Showed first form when third on handicap debut at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Couldn't quite match that when fourth at Ffos Las (15.8f) 18 days ago but cheekpieces go on now and it does remain early days at least. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (33/1 -18%) Kentford Mallard |
33/1(-18%) | (2) Kentford Mallard 33/1, Held her form well in the spring/summer last year and overcame a few wayward leaps to score at Southwell (3m) in June. Swerved and unseated first on return at Exeter (18.5f) on New Year's Day and cheekpieces go back on now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 -43%) Born To Please |
10/1(-43%) | (7) Born To Please 10/1, Well beaten on each of her last 4 starts on the level but exploits over hurdles either side have been more like it, runner-up in a mares' handicap at Leicester (15.5f) 39 days ago. Needs to back that up now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Tintern Abbey |
2.25/1(+25%) | (1) Tintern Abbey 2.25/1, Bumper winner and bright start over hurdles, cementing positive start when fourth in 10-runner mares' maiden at Wincanton (15.2f) in November. One to consider with progress anticipated now handicapping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (14/1 +0%) Fortune Cookie |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Fortune Cookie 14/1, Has yet to show much in handful of starts but can have latest yard debut effort at Hereford (21.7f) overlooked, all but coming down at the sixth and pulled up soon after. This should reveal more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (80/1 -60%) Mrs Kinsella |
80/1(-60%) | (5) Mrs Kinsella 80/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing returning from 8 months off for new yard at Fontwell (17.7f) in December. Eased 5 lb ahead of this and now equipped with a first-time tongue tie. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (14/1 +22%) Hello Bob |
14/1(+22%) | (6) Hello Bob 14/1, Uttoxeter winner back in summer 2020 who shaped as if retaining all ability after 18 months off when fifth at Ffos Las in May but has gone backwards from that in his 2 outings since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (66/1 +56%) Lady Ironside |
66/1(+56%) | (11) Lady Ironside 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland but has yet to show any ability in this sphere, including on handicap debut at Exeter (21.6f) in November. Much more needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (7.5/1 -67%) Eventful |
7.5/1(-67%) | (4) Eventful 7.5/1, Maiden on Flat but she was well supported when doubling her tally over hurdles (in refitted blinkers) at Southwell (15.8f) in November. Absent since but gone well after a break before and not out of things. |

1.38/1(-10%) | (5) Envious Editor 1.38/1, Ready winner of a 21f Cartmel maiden hunter in May. Also comfortably landed 2 points on his return to action in November. Probably the one to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7.5/1(+46%) | (9) Singapore Saga 7.5/1, Handicap hurdle winner Philip Hobbs. Has won 2 of his 5 point starts for current connections, including on his return to action in Decmeber. Hunter debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4th (6) (12/1 -41%) Another Venture |
12/1(-41%) | (6) Another Venture 12/1, Second in a Ludlow hunter for Nicky Henderson last January. Disappointed in 2 subsequent starts last season and has changed stables ahead of this reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -127%) Wotzizname |
25/1(-127%) | (4) Wotzizname 25/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his peak. Won then second in hunters at Newton Abbot back in May. Claims if ready to roll after 7 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 -23%) My Way |
8/1(-23%) | (3) My Way 8/1, Useful winning chaser for Paul Nicholls in 2020/21 season. Fit from a point run last month (finished third). Major player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (2.25/1 +44%) Tout Est Permis |
2.25/1(+44%) | (8) Tout Est Permis 2.25/1, Smart chaser in prime. Nothing like so good lately (left Noel Meade after finishing well held over hurdles in July) but he's joined a good stable and this is an easier assignment. Needs considering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (14/1 -133%) Mitchouka |
14/1(-133%) | (2) Mitchouka 14/1, Very useful in his prime. Below form for Jim Dreaper when last seen in the spring but no surprise were he capable of making an impact at this level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
