4.5/1(+25%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gold Souk 4.5/1, Fair on the Flat and bettered previous 2 efforts in this sphere when third of 10 in a Huntingdon novice (15.8f) in January. Not seen to best effect at Plumpton since. | |||
2nd (14)  (6.5/1 +35%)Outback Boy |
6.5/1(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Outback Boy 6.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 12f) but became disappointing in that sphere this summer and has shown little aptitude for hurdling so far. Out of the weights for handicap bow but dangerous to rule him out. | |||

12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Diamond Joel 12/1, Third over C&D in October but failed to back that up back here 3 weeks later and off since. 3 lb out of the weights. | |||

12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tarseem 12/1, Third on both completed starts in juvenile hurdles in the autumn. Had wind surgery since and prominent in the betting for handicap debut at Southwell but he failed to finish off his race. | |||

33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Scrutinise 33/1, Hinted at a revival when fifth of 10 in handicap at Stratford (19f) in October but failed to build on that twice since. | |||

40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ladi Chala 40/1, Modest maiden on Flat in France and hard to warm to judged on exploits for Stuart Edmunds/this yard more recently. | |||

1.62/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lleyton 1.62/1, Rejoined yard after a couple of disappointing runs on level for Adrian Nicholls and better than ever when cashing on a reduced mark at Wetherby last week. Obvious claims under a penalty. | |||
8th (11)  (10/1 +50%)Season In The Sun |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Season In The Sun 10/1, Modest in bumpers and hasn't made much of an impact over hurdles either. Cheekpieces reached for. | |||
9th (1)  (100/1 -355%)Quilaura |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Quilaura 100/1, Modest form over hurdles, best effort when 17¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Alicaron in handicap at Aix-Les-Bains on return: 22/1, well held last of 13 in claimer at Clairefontaine last time. | |||
|F| (9)  (16/1 -14%)Many Words |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Many Words 16/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden on Flat. Little impact in 3 juvenile hurdles/handicap for this yard but did shape a bit better back on the AW recently. | |||

12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Von Melas 12/1, Continues to show little in handicaps. | |||

0.83/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arizona Cardinal 0.83/1, Off the mark under Rules when landing Warwick novice (19f, heavy) last month and posted respectable sixth of 17 on handicap debut at Sandown (19.8f, soft) since. Warrants respect. | |||
2nd (5)  (2.25/1 +32%)Prince Des Fichaux |
2.25/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Prince Des Fichaux 2.25/1, Fair second of 4 in novice hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, soft, 7/1) on NH debut 17 days ago. May well do better and holds leading claims. | |||

5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Amadorio 5/1, Showed fair form in France in 2019 and not seen since falling at Compiegne 22 months ago. Upped in trip for UK debut and market will guide to claims. | |||

200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Call Me Tlalok 200/1, Offered little on debut in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on for first time. |

1st (2)  (1.38/1 +8%)Yggdrasil |
1.38/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Yggdrasil 1.38/1, Showed ability over hurdles, but has quickly made up into a better chaser, making it 2-3 in this sphere at Hereford (19f) last time, jumping soundly in the main. Nudged up just 3 lb and further progress is likely. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.88/1 -71%)Karl Philippe |
1.88/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Karl Philippe 1.88/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who made it third time lucky over fences at Ludlow (2½m) in January. Followed up despite some sloppy jumping over the same C&D earlier this month and 4 lb rise could catch him out here. | |||
3rd (3)  (2.5/1 +44%)Kakamora |
2.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kakamora 2.5/1, Back-to-back hurdles winner last spring and stepped up on previous chase efforts when third at Wincanton in January. 9¾ lengths adrift of Karl Philippe at Ludlow since, but 6 lb better off with that rival now and forecast quicker ground may help. | |||
4th (4)  (66/1 -32%)Uncle Henry |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Uncle Henry 66/1, Fair hurdler for Gordon Elliott, but offered precious little on chase debut for new yard at Doncaster in December. Has undergone a wind op. |

2.75/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sainte Doctor 2.75/1, French Flat winner who has raised her game in this sphere following a breathing op/fitting of a tongue strap. Second in a 5-runner Fakenham handicap upped to this trip last time and she's a big player. | |||
2nd (3)  (9/1 +0%)Royal Practitioner |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Practitioner 9/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who stepped up on her recent run in a first-time tongue strap when third in 21.4f handicap at Wincanton 62 days ago. Eased 2 lb and not ruled out. | |||
3rd (6)  (10/1 -43%)Love Actually |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Love Actually 10/1, Winning pointer who left previous hurdling form behind when scoring with something to spare at Taunton in January. Wasn't in the same form in a better race at Sandown but it remains early days. | |||
4th (4)  (16/1 -78%)Auditoria |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Auditoria 16/1, Off the mark over hurdles in 2m Catterick novice over Christmas. Never able to land a blow when fifth under an inexperienced rider at this venue and found less than looked likely at Doncaster last time. | |||
5th (10)  (3.5/1 +71%)Chantilly Haze |
3.5/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Chantilly Haze 3.5/1, Maiden who shaped as if back in form when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. | |||
6th (9)  (5/1 +44%)Dariya |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dariya 5/1, Landed a gamble at Huntingdon (20.7f) earlier in the month and wasn't seen to best effect at Stratford 3 days ago, so not taken lightly. | |||
7th (1)  (28/1 +0%)Stop Talking |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stop Talking 28/1, Scored over fences at Bangor in May and back to winning ways in 19.5f Doncaster handicap hurdle in February. Wasn't in the same form at Ludlow last time, though. | |||
8th (5)  (14/1 -250%)Dicey Rielly |
14/1(-250%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dicey Rielly 14/1, Modest in bumpers but has already bettered that form over hurdles, again shaping promisingly when fourth in a novice at Wincanton (15.2f) 19 days ago. Remains with potential now making a quick switch to handicaps. Tongue tied. | |||
9th (7)  (7/1 -40%)My Girl Lollipop |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) My Girl Lollipop 7/1, Took a step forward following a breathing op when second here in February. Filled same spot up in trip at Doncaster subsequently and should remain competitive on handicap debut. | |||
10th (8)  (20/1 +0%)Just Jess |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Just Jess 20/1, Much improved on the back of a breathing operation when landing 2m Hexham novice in December. Hasn't really fired since though, and now back up in trip. |

25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Beaufort West 25/1, Dual hurdles winner for Colin Tizzard but yet to score for current yard and makes limited appeal despite a tempting mark. Switches back to hurdles. | |||
2nd (1)  (2.25/1 -38%)Storm Of Light |
2.25/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Storm Of Light 2.25/1, Got the better of a dual subsequent winner when opening hurdles account here (19.9f) in November and made the frame in handicaps both starts since. Likely contender. | |||
3rd (2)  (3.5/1 +30%)Apple Rock |
3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Apple Rock 3.5/1, Notched 3 wins in 2020/21 and signalled a return to form when third at Hereford last month. Fell early on at Southwell since and has to enter calculations. | |||
4th (4)  (1.75/1 +30%)River Legend |
1.75/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) River Legend 1.75/1, Offered more than previously over timber after wind op when third of 12 in novice at Chepstow (16f, soft, 16/1) 53 days ago. Likely more to come upped in trip on handicap debut. | |||
5th (3)  (7.5/1 +12%)Florrie Knox |
7.5/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Florrie Knox 7.5/1, Sole success to date came back in March 2018 and went backwards from belated reappearance at Market Rasen latest. Blinkers now added for first time. | |||
6th (6)  (14/1 -17%)Getaway Bay |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Getaway Bay 14/1, Scored over C&D last summer but clearly had issues since and made little impact on his recent return from 8 months off. 1 lb out of the handicap. |

4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Premier D'troice 4.5/1, Good third of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (29.2f, soft, 15/2) 16 days ago. Not dismissed in his bid for a first success since last summer. | |||
(7)  (5/1 +50%)Young Offender |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Young Offender 5/1, Visored for 1st time, below form third of 6 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and needs to bounce back. | |||
(1)  (5/1 +0%)Kilbrook |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kilbrook 5/1, Scored at Carlisle in October and creditable third of 9 in handicap chase (9/1) at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 34 days ago. In the mix. | |||
(3)  (5/1 +17%)Captain Biggles |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Biggles 5/1, 6/5 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) 86 days ago. Makes chase debut on the back of a wind op with a bit to prove. | |||
(9)  (6/1 -33%)Larkbarrow Lad |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Larkbarrow Lad 6/1, Unreliable type but creditable second of 10 in handicap chase (7/2) at Taunton (23f, heavy) 26 days ago. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. | |||
(10)  (9/1 +10%)Frau Georgia |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Frau Georgia 9/1, Scored at Perth in September. 3/1, below form third of 6 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f) 136 days ago. Needs to get back on track. | |||
(4)  (9/1 +0%)Hard To Forget |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hard To Forget 9/1, Landed this contest 12 months ago but only fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Inconsistent performer. | |||
(2)  (14/1 +44%)Rocky's Treasure |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rocky's Treasure 14/1, 12/1, sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 69 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs a big step forward. | |||
(12)  (28/1 -40%)Good Man Vinnie |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Good Man Vinnie 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap chase (22/1) at Plumpton (25.7f) 98 days ago. Course winner but he needs a couple of these to falter. | |||

(6)  (1.25/1 -14%)Touchy Feely |
1.25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Touchy Feely 1.25/1, Closely related to bumper winner Sure Touch and may well have made a successful debut but for hanging under pressure at Newbury. That experience won't be wasted on her and obvious chance of going one better here. | |||
(11)  (5.5/1 +21%)Passing Reflection |
5.5/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Passing Reflection 5.5/1, Passing Glance filly who is a sister to bumper winner Eyes Right. Yard boasts a decent record in bumpers and confidence behind this filly in the betting would look significant. | |||
(3)  (6.5/1 +46%)Maid Of The Night |
6.5/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Maid Of The Night 6.5/1, £40,000 purchase whose dam is closely related to high-class hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Menorah. Winner of the second of her two starts between the flags and interesting contender on Rules debut. | |||
(8)  (7/1 +36%)Insolente Nelsa |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Insolente Nelsa 7/1, €30,000 half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Gage de Reussite. Yard in good nick and boasts a decent strike rate in bumpers in recent seasons, so there's certainly cause for optimism. | |||
(9)  (7.5/1 -50%)Jasmiwa |
7.5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jasmiwa 7.5/1, Fetched €100,000 as a 3-y-o and showed promise despite looking badly in need of the experience when sixth of 10 on debut at Newbury. Work to do if she's to get the better of Touchy Feely, who was runner-up in that bumper, but she should be more street-wise this time. | |||
(2)  (7.5/1 +6%)Copperfasten |
7.5/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Copperfasten 7.5/1, £160,000 half-sister to useful hurdler Copper Gone West. Successful sole start between the flags and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say. | |||
(5)  (14/1 +44%)Queenhill |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Queenhill 14/1, Third in point bumper on debut in May and found only one too good in this discipline on Rules debut at Worcester the following month. Backward step on return at Hereford, though, and others make more appeal. | |||
(7)  (22/1 +45%)Celestial Park |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Celestial Park 22/1, €35,000 3-y-o. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Warden Hill. Yard is hardly prolific in bumpers and it's probably best to look elsewhere this time. | |||
(1)  (40/1 -82%)Blue Beach |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blue Beach 40/1, Kayf Tara mare. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Pique Rock. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and she's probably best watched on this occasion. | |||
(4)  (80/1 -220%)Missed Vacation |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Missed Vacation 80/1, Positive start to her career when a clear second over this C&D on New Year's Eve. Subsequently performed poorly at Ascot, so now has a bit to prove, but she's certainly not one to write off just yet. | |||
(10)  (125/1 +0%)Kylenoe Dancer |
125/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kylenoe Dancer 125/1, Shaped pretty well on her introduction at Newbury in December, but fair to say that she hasn't managed to build on that since and this filly is likely to need more time and distance. |

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.
