10
10/1(+64%)
(12) Tidal Storm 10/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m). Below form last 2 starts in that sphere but is related to a couple of winning hurdlers, so worth a market check.

40
40/1(-122%)
(10) Mr Rumbalicious 40/1, Modest maiden on Flat who has run to just a poor level both starts over hurdles. Handicaps more likely to be his bag.

Edinburgh Rock
20
20/1(+39%)

11/1(-22%)
(11) State Legend 11/1, Fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for James Ferguson. Off 6 months but he needs considering on yard/hurdling debut

Blueking D'oroux
1.38
1.38/1(-66%)
(1) Blueking D'oroux 1.38/1, Showed fairly useful over hurdles in France, winning on debut at Fontainebleau and backing that up with a couple of in-frame efforts at Auteuil. Folded tamely on first run for Paul Nicholls in Cheltenham Grade 2 last month but is clearly thought capable of much better.

(8) Ice N Slice 200/1, Well held both starts to date.

Trojan Horse
2
2/1(+0%)
(2) Trojan Horse 2/1, Fairly useful on Flat, stays 12.5f, winning in April. Fair start over hurdles when third at Kempton and duly built on that when off the mark in ready fashion at Fontwell. Open to further improvement.

Major Gatsby
125
125/1(-89%)
(9) Major Gatsby 125/1, Had a productive time on the Flat this year, winning 4 times over 7f. The obvious concern is whether he'll have the stamina for jumping.

Atlantic Breeze
150
150/1(-127%)
(4) Atlantic Breeze 150/1, Fair form at best on Flat, well held in 2022. Sold out of Donnacha O'Brien's yard for only 5,000 gns in July and gelded. Perhaps best watched.

66
66/1(-32%)
(11) Let's Go Amigo 66/1, Fetched £52,000 as a 3-y-o and showed plenty when fifth in a bumper at Warwick on debut but his jumping has been far from fluent both starts over hurdles.

Catuaba
50
50/1(-52%)
(4) Catuaba 50/1, Won sole start in Irish points and fared a lot better second time up over hurdles when well held in second at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, though went in snatches.

25
25/1(-150%)

Love Actually
11
11/1(+31%)
(9) Love Actually 11/1, Winning pointer who doubled her tally over hurdles at this course in November but disappointed (despite strength in the betting) here next time. Now switched to chasing.
8
2nd (8) How's The Cricket (4.5/1 +25%)
How's The Cricket
4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(8) How's The Cricket 4.5/1, Made a winning start over fences in 8-runner handicap at Ffos Las (19.4f) in October and far from disgraced over longer trip at Exeter since. Likely contender.

Kayf Hernando
2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(5) Kayf Hernando 2.25/1, Promising sort who stepped forward from his chasing debut when winning 8-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 36 days ago, soon clear. Not taken lightly.
11
4th (11) Seigneur Des As (8.5/1 +53%)
Seigneur Des As
8.5
8.5/1(+53%)
(11) Seigneur Des As 8.5/1, Just fair form over fences in France and not a great deal of encouragement to be gleaned from 3 outings for this stable, latest when fourth in Lingfield handicap chase (20f) last month.
7
5th (7) Kakamora (9/1 +18%)
Kakamora
9
9/1(+18%)
(7) Kakamora 9/1, Dual hurdles winner but unable to add to tally over fences since. Been given a chance by the handicapper, though, and recent second at Wincanton was a step back in the right direction. Cheekpieces go on.
4
6th (4) Fawsley Spirit (12/1 -71%)
Fawsley Spirit
12
12/1(-71%)
(4) Fawsley Spirit 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler who returned from a long absence with an excellent second at Market Rasen back over fences. Given a bit of time to recover from that and deserves plenty of respect.
3
|F| (3) Mahon Point (4.5/1 +10%)
Mahon Point
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(3) Mahon Point 4.5/1, Winning pointer who scored in taking style on his hurdles debut in 8-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f) in January. Better form when runner-up on last month's return and he's very interesting switched to chasing for this handicap debut.
6
|PU| (6) Pinnacle Peak (22/1 -38%)
Pinnacle Peak
22
22/1(-38%)
(6) Pinnacle Peak 22/1, Much improved when the cheekpieces went on in 2021, rattling off the hat-trick with a 21-length success at Southwell (20.4f). Now 14 lb higher for chase debut, though, and hasn't been seen for 17 months.
1

Whydah Gally
25
25/1(-150%)
(1) Whydah Gally 25/1, Front-running fairly useful hurdler who won his last 2 completed starts last term in good style. Let down by jumping on chasing debut at Plumpton but may have learned from that.
10
|PU| (10) Mister Sweets (33/1 -32%)
Mister Sweets
33
33/1(-32%)
(10) Mister Sweets 33/1, Fair 21f winner over hurdles and was runner-up on chase debut at Ffos Las in June. However, well beaten both subsequent starts and now has a bit to prove with cheekpieces added to tongue tie.

Restandbethankful
40
40/1(-122%)
(2) Restandbethankful 40/1, Bumper winner who gained a third victory over hurdles in a Huntingdon handicap (15.8f) last December. Has shown a similar level form in 4 chase starts this term but mark still looks high enough.

4/1(-45%)
(3) Credrojava 4/1, Maintained her unbeaten record (won point/bumper previously) when accounting for ordinary opposition with plenty in hand on her Fontwell hurdling debut (19.2f) 24 days ago, pushed out. Sure to progress.

She's A Saint
0.73
0.73/1(+34%)
(7) She's A Saint 0.73/1, Winner of her sole start in Irish points and made a striking impression on her hurdling debut when a wide-margin scorer of a 6-runner novice at Hexham (16.2f). Turned over at short odds at Newbury next time but was beaten only a smart prospect in a listed event there latest. Sets a clear standard.
4
3rd (4) Ilovethenightlife (18/1 -13%)
Ilovethenightlife
18
18/1(-13%)
(4) Ilovethenightlife 18/1, Left her bumper efforts behind when making a winning start over hurdles at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago. Shaped as if still in good form in a deeper race at Uttoxeter but this asks for more.
5
4th (5) Lutinebella (2.25/1 +10%)
Lutinebella
2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(5) Lutinebella 2.25/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers, excellent third in Grade 2 company at Aintree on final start of last season. Promising third on return/hurdles debut at Warwick (2m) and built on that when quickening clear to win in good style at Exeter (18.5f) 46 days ago. More to come.
6
5th (6) Magical Maggie (28/1 +7%)
Magical Maggie
28
28/1(+7%)
(6) Magical Maggie 28/1, Took her record to 3-4 (only defeat in the Aintree Nickel Coin bumper) when making a successful hurdles debut at Uttoxeter on return, untidy 2 out but quickening clear. Proved a disappointment under a penalty at Lingfield since, though.
2
6th (2) Colony Queen (66/1 +18%)
Colony Queen
66
66/1(+18%)
(2) Colony Queen 66/1, Useful Flat performer, winning all 3 starts in 2021 for John Mackie. However, has yet to better modest form in this sphere. Blinkers now tried.
8

Free Chakarte
100

Apple Rock
4.5
4.5/1(-29%)
(7) Apple Rock 4.5/1, Slipped in weights last term and, with his yard in fine form, has returned to win handicaps at Southwell (3m) and Leicester (20.5f). Raised 9 lb but he was successful off a similar mark earlier in his career. Another to consider.
6
2nd (6) The Changing Man (3/1 +25%)
The Changing Man
3
3/1(+25%)
(6) The Changing Man 3/1, Completed a handicap hat-trick when easily seeing off 4 rivals at Uttoxeter (23f) last month. This is a deeper race but he may not have reached his limit yet. High on the shortlist.
3
3rd (3) Presenting Jeremy (12/1 +40%)
Presenting Jeremy
12
12/1(+40%)
(3) Presenting Jeremy 12/1, Looked a good prospect when readily off the mark on debut in a Worcester novice hurdle (23f) back in spring 2021. Off 19 months, not unduly knocked about when last of 5 in Ffos Las handicap 5 weeks ago. This should reveal more as to how much ability he retains.
10
4th (10) Republican (22/1 -10%)
Republican
22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Republican 22/1, Winless since 2019. Shaped as if better for the run after 11 months off when seventh in 3m Kempton handicap last month but others still readily preferred. Cheekpieces on first time.
13
5th (13) Iberio (2.5/1 +44%)
Iberio
2.5
2.5/1(+44%)
(13) Iberio 2.5/1, Much improved in cheekpieces once sent into handicaps last term, scoring twice over 19f here. Runner-up off this mark both starts this term, latterly chasing home a next-time-out winner at Chepstow (19.5f). Possible he could pull out more now stepping up to 3m. Gets the vote.
9
6th (9) Itacare (25/1 +24%)
Itacare
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Itacare 25/1, Took advantage of a reduced mark when off the mark for this yard at Ludlow (21f) in March. Placed a few times since but his last 2 efforts have been disappointing.
1
|PU| (1) Time To Tinker (7/1 +22%)
Time To Tinker
7
7/1(+22%)
(1) Time To Tinker 7/1, Dual winner last season, including a Wincanton handicap off 3 lb higher. Better effort this term when fourth of 14 at Newbury (3m) last month. Likely to be thereabouts.
15
|PU| (15) Moonamacaroona (11/1 +8%)
Moonamacaroona
11
11/1(+8%)
(15) Moonamacaroona 11/1, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts in bumpers but yet to get her head in front over hurdles after 8 attempts. Her reappearance fifth in a Sandown handicap was respectable enough but the suspicion is that wait for a first hurdle win will go on a bit longer.
4
|PU| (4) Moon King (14/1 +65%)
Moon King
14
14/1(+65%)
(4) Moon King 14/1, Opened his hurdling account at Worcester in August but below par both runs since. Others appeal more.
14

Bobalot
25
25/1(-79%)
(14) Bobalot 25/1, Scored on his handicap debut at Chepstow (3m) in October but only fifth of seven at Lingfield (23f) last month. Needs to get back on track.
12
|PU| (12) Huntsmans Jog (40/1 +0%)
Huntsmans Jog
40
40/1(+0%)
(12) Huntsmans Jog 40/1, Placed several times over fences last term. Well beaten in 2 chases for Fergal O'Brien this autumn but he was a hurdle winner earlier in his career and is one to keep an eye on in the market back hurdling off a reduced mark for new trainer Milton Harris.
11
|PU| (11) Bluffmeifyoucan (50/1 +0%)
Bluffmeifyoucan
50
50/1(+0%)
(11) Bluffmeifyoucan 50/1, Ended last term with success in an Exeter novice hurdle (18.5f) in February but last of 11 on return/handicap debut there last month. Needs to have come on a lot for the run.
8

Invictus Smart
66

(8) Invictus Smart 66/1, Bought to £200,000 after winning a juvenile hurdle at Fontainebleau on debut last November. Dropped away tamely to finish distant last of 5 in Market Rasen novice for new yard in March but clearly early days and he's one to note in the betting now handicapping. Tongue tie he wore in France refitted.

9

2

Minella Voucher
12
12/1(-140%)
(2) Minella Voucher 12/1, Veteran who completed a hat-trick in September and is probably best excused his latest sub-par effort at Sedgefield. Given a break since and could make his presence felt.
3
|PU| (3) Havanella (18/1 +28%)
Havanella
18
18/1(+28%)

3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(14) Fame And Fun 3.5/1, Best effort in maiden/novice hurdles when 26 lengths third over 2m here 5 weeks ago and appeals as one who can improve in handicaps. Tongue-tied first time. One to consider.

2.5/1(+38%)
(7) Couldbeaweapon 2.5/1, Produced a career best when winning at Worcester in October and just as good when placed twice since. Likely to go well again.

Karakoram

5/1(+23%)
(15) Karakoram 5/1, Won this race 12 months ago and arrives in form again having got his head back in front at Exeter (18.5f) earlier this month. Likely to give another good account of himself.

Royal Sam

8/1(+64%)
(11) Royal Sam 8/1, Point winner. Hasn't bettered modest form in a bumper and maiden/novice hurdles but it's possible he'll make more of an impact now handicapping. One to note in the betting.

Colonel Manderson
11
11/1(+45%)
(3) Colonel Manderson 11/1, Won 3m Southwell handicap hurdle last winter and runner-up on next 2 outings. However, his last 2 efforts have been disappointing, the latter when returning from a break at Hereford in November.
16
6th (16) Gyllen (12/1 +52%)
Gyllen
12
12/1(+52%)
(16) Gyllen 12/1, One-time smart performer on the Flat in France. Nothing like so good over hurdles in Britain and he failed to build on a slightly more encouraging third at Exeter when a remote fourth at Hereford last week.

7th (2) Ferdinand Star (7.5/1 -50%)
Ferdinand Star
7.5
7.5/1(-50%)
(2) Ferdinand Star 7.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Patrick Magee, finishing second in 2m Tramore maiden on final start there in October. Interesting contender now handicapping for David Pipe, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

8th (13) Muy Bien (12/1 +33%)
Muy Bien
12
12/1(+33%)
(13) Muy Bien 12/1, Second in 18.5f Newton Abbot handicap in May but well held both starts since returning to action. A first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap combination needs to help him get his career back on track.

28/1(-100%)
(8) Ailes D'amour 28/1, Showed ability in bumpers/novice hurdles but disappointed when switched to handicap company at Leicester in February. Still early days but would need to see market support to consider on reappearance.

Pak Army

33/1(+34%)
(12) Pak Army 33/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland, leaving Eoin Doyle since finishing well held on AW Flat at Dundalk 7 weeks ago. Possibly best watched unless the betting vibes are strong.

(6) Ithaka 66/1, Largely well held over hurdles for Ronan McNally in Ireland and no impact on Market Rasen stable debut 4 weeks ago. Could only consider if backed.

Forever Des Long

50/1(+24%)
(5) Forever Des Long 50/1, Market Rasen winner for Philip Hobbs in March but ended his time with that yard on a low note and remote fourth at Uttoxeter on recent stable debut. Has something to prove for now.

25/1(-150%)
(4) Scrappy Jack 25/1, Winner of 2 juvenile hurdles at Newton Abbot in July 2021 but absent since finishing a remote fourth at Stratford the following month. Makes handicap debut. Watching brief has to be the percentage call given his length of time off the track.

(1) Nobel Joshua 33/1, Fortunate winner of 3m handicap here in November 2020. Not seen again until pulling up over C&D 5 weeks ago. Can only be watched after that.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
