14/1(-87%) | (2) Beatthebullet 14/1, Dual point winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Hereford (25.5f) in November. Not up to Graded company since but looks sure to be a lot more competitive back in these calmer waters. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

0.57/1(+15%) | (3) Riggs 0.57/1, Made second handicap start a winning one over 2½m here in November. Consistent in defeat since, running a cracker when second in EBF Final at Sandown latest. Up in trip. Leading claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1st (12) (20/1 +39%) Harry The Norseman |
20/1(+39%) | (12) Harry The Norseman 20/1, Poor maiden on Flat and well held all 3 starts over hurdles to date. Needs to step up significantly for the switch to handicaps/addition of cheekpieces on the back of a wind operation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1.88/1 +16%) Hurricane Ali |
1.88/1(+16%) | (3) Hurricane Ali 1.88/1, Improved when coming good in 2m Southwell handicap (good to soft) 10 days ago. Well on top at the finish so a penalty is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (3.33/1 +39%) White Turf |
3.33/1(+39%) | (9) White Turf 3.33/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Andrew Balding. Yet to better poor form over hurdles but last month's Stratford third was more encouraging and his yard is in good form at present. Player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (22/1 -38%) Cape Fair |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Cape Fair 22/1, Reached the frame in 2 C&D handicaps towards the end of 2020. Easy to ignore recent comeback run here, badly hampered first and soon pulled up. Yard has been among winners. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (40/1 +39%) African Sun |
40/1(+39%) | (14) African Sun 40/1, Has looked limited in various events. Handicap hurdle debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (9/1 -38%) Shanandoa |
9/1(-38%) | (11) Shanandoa 9/1, Finally showed he retains some ability back from a long absence when 9 lengths second at Chepstow a week ago. Needs to show she can back that up now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Bizerta |
5.5/1(+31%) | (7) Bizerta 5.5/1, Fairly useful form on Flat in France in 2019. Yet to get near that level over hurdles but Warwick handicap debut sixth last month was respectable and he'd run well over C&D prior to that. Tongue tied. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (12/1 -140%) Chapati |
12/1(-140%) | (2) Chapati 12/1, Much improved from reduced mark when winning 2m Southwell handicap in November. Creditable third at Taunton the following month and sure to be thereabouts if returning from a break in similar form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (50/1 +24%) Naasik |
50/1(+24%) | (15) Naasik 50/1, Remains a maiden after 22 runs, pulling up at Huntingdon when last seen in November. Easy enough to look elsewhere again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (12/1 +0%) Some Spin |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Some Spin 12/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland last summer but not in anything like the same form in 4 outings for new yard, pulling up on chase debut last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (80/1 -60%) Witch From Rome |
80/1(-60%) | (10) Witch From Rome 80/1, Fair maiden hurdler back in 2015 but he has offered little in 3 runs for new yard this term after very long absence. Hard to warm to. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (50/1 -150%) Dalkadam |
50/1(-150%) | (13) Dalkadam 50/1, Poor performer nowadays. Remains to be seen if a drip back in trip and the fitting of blinkers makes any difference. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (33/1 -136%) Mon Petit Cheri |
33/1(-136%) | (4) Mon Petit Cheri 33/1, Second in 2m Plumpton novice in December but unable to reproduce that since, including in a couple of handicaps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (300/1 -200%) Port Lairge |
300/1(-200%) | (16) Port Lairge 300/1, Poor maiden hurdler who is easily passed over from a long way out of the weights. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (40/1 -60%) Winged Affair |
40/1(-60%) | (5) Winged Affair 40/1, Didn't show much in 4 outings last season, including a handicap. Had wind surgery ahead of this first outing for 13 months. Could only consider if backed. |

1st (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Oski |
3.5/1(+13%) | (5) Oski 3.5/1, Clearly retains plenty of ability judged on his 4 runs over fences for new yard since returning from a lengthy absence in November. Now tried in cheekpieces and he has to be feared. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.25/1 +9%) Eclair D'Ainay |
1.25/1(+9%) | (1) Eclair D'Ainay 1.25/1, Winner of first 2 completed starts over fences and didn't do much wrong when second in a 4-runner handicap off this mark at Kelso (17f, soft) last time. Big chance if coping with this faster ground. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Notre Pari |
2.75/1(+21%) | (2) Notre Pari 2.75/1, Did well over hurdles last season, winning twice at up to 2½m. Has failed to make an impact in 3 starts since switched to fences (all at around 2m), but may do better now going back up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (28/1 -155%) Beaufort West |
28/1(-155%) | (3) Beaufort West 28/1, Dual hurdles winner for Colin Tizzard and positive chase debut for new yard when second at Sandown (15.5f, soft) last month. However, pulled up over same C&D next time and needs to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 -100%) Captain Moirette |
11/1(-100%) | (6) Captain Moirette 11/1, Capable when on-song, but well below par in 5 appearances so far this season and he's not the most fluent of jumpers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (14/1 -17%) Myplaceatmidnight |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Myplaceatmidnight 14/1, Rather inconsistent over hurdles and has looked anything but a natural in his 2 starts in this sphere to date. |

1st (7) (1.75/1 +36%) Stormy Flight |
1.75/1(+36%) | (7) Stormy Flight 1.75/1, Yet to score this term but he arrives in very good form, again ridden with restraint when third at Sandown last month. Weighted to go close. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (20/1 +9%) Breaking Waves |
20/1(+9%) | (3) Breaking Waves 20/1, Unreliable chaser for Noel Williams and has struggled badly in 4 starts for new yard, returned to hurdles at Newbury 27 days ago. Hard to warm to. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (2.25/1 +36%) Mega Yeats |
2.25/1(+36%) | (6) Mega Yeats 2.25/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Ruth Jefferson in 2019. Off 14 months off/wind op before creditable efforts when placed in AW bumper and 2m4f handicap at Kelso. Respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/1 +18%) Golden Taipan |
9/1(+18%) | (1) Golden Taipan 9/1, Scored 3 times over hurdles last season and also landed jumpers bumper at Kempton in February. Below-par sixth at Newbury back in this sphere lasst time though so has bit to find. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (5.5/1 +0%) Blarney Bateleur |
5.5/1(+0%) | (9) Blarney Bateleur 5.5/1, Greatly improved on her handicap bow when 28/1-winner at Market Rasen (20.6f, soft) 39 days ago. Off 9 lb higher here (4 lb out of the handicap) but still low mileage and can make her presence felt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 -170%) Chinwag |
9/1(-170%) | (4) Chinwag 9/1, Much improved since having wind op and tongue strap went on, comfortably gaining a third win at Sedgefield in February. Hiked up 9 lb but another bold showing is likely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (20/1 -25%) Kingofthecotswolds |
20/1(-25%) | (2) Kingofthecotswolds 20/1, Took well to hurdling in 2018/19, landing a Ludlow maiden, and back on song when third in Lingfield jumpers bumper 59 days ago. Respected now back hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

40/1(-122%) | (5) Murphy's Law 40/1, Gained three wins a in a productive 2019 (2 hurdle, 1 chase) but last of 7 in handicap hurdle on return from a year off at Kelso over Christmas. Needs to have come on a lot. |

1st (8) (14/1 -155%) Frisco Bay |
14/1(-155%) | (8) Frisco Bay 14/1, Several creditable placed efforts to his name, not least when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford in February. Disappointing back there next time, but claims if able to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/1 +30%) Young Offender |
7/1(+30%) | (2) Young Offender 7/1, Rather in-and-out since landing a 2½m novice at Fakenham last winter, and others make more appeal from a win point of view. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Evenstevens |
6.5/1(+35%) | (10) Evenstevens 6.5/1, Improved handicap debut second at Doncaster on final start of last term, but he appears to have gone the wrong way since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (28/1 +44%) Espinator |
28/1(+44%) | (11) Espinator 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who needs to find improvement from somewhere in order to play a leading role. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/1 -38%) Animal |
9/1(-38%) | (1) Animal 9/1, Bumper winner who left his hurdling debut form well behind when third of 15 in Wincanton novice in January. Failed to build on that next time, though, and improvement needed now handicapping. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (28/1 -27%) Fricka |
28/1(-27%) | (4) Fricka 28/1, Winner of a mares' maiden at Huntingdon last season, but hasn't managed to add to that in 9 subsequent starts and hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces helping to spark a return to form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (0.8/1 +47%) Off The Hook |
0.8/1(+47%) | (5) Off The Hook 0.8/1, Just 1-16 over hurdles for Nick Alexander, but has made a positive start for this yard, creditable fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Market Rasen (20.6f, soft) last time. High on the shortlist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (9/1 -80%) Oscar Asche |
9/1(-80%) | (7) Oscar Asche 9/1, Posted much his best effort of the season so far when third at Hereford (25.5f, heavy) recently. Each-way chance off the same mark here if coping with the faster ground. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (3) (40/1 -100%) Bryden Boy |
40/1(-100%) | (3) Bryden Boy 40/1, Ended last season on a winning note at Kelso, but hasn't come close to matching that level of form this time round. |

16/1(-100%) | (9) Hard To Forget 16/1, Winner of back-to-back handicap chase events at around 25f last term. Yet to fire over larger obstacles so far this season but he is operating from much reduced mark as a result. Visored. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8/1 +0%) Lord Getaway |
8/1(+0%) | (8) Lord Getaway 8/1, Out of sorts when last seen and liable to need this first run for 8 months, so others make more appeal. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Boughtbeforelunch |
3.5/1(+0%) | (1) Boughtbeforelunch 3.5/1, Winner of just one of his 15 starts over fences, but he's nothing if not consistent and found just one too good at Sandown in December. Should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 -45%) Plantagenet |
16/1(-45%) | (3) Plantagenet 16/1, Dual chase winner who stepped up plenty on return effort when second at Kelso (26f). Has struggled since, however, and prone to mistakes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (40/1 +0%) Darius Des Bois |
40/1(+0%) | (4) Darius Des Bois 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Nicky Henderson earlier in career. Point winner last year but no promise as yet under Rules for this yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (2/1 +0%) Getaway Mag |
2/1(+0%) | (2) Getaway Mag 2/1, Winning pointer who left hurdling form behind when making a convincing winning start to chasing in handicap at Southwell in December. Seemingly amiss next time but remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4/1 +50%) Ivilnoble |
4/1(+50%) | (5) Ivilnoble 4/1, Yet to fire this season, although had an excuse last time and is becoming well treated, so not totally ruled out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (9/1 -13%) Black Buble |
9/1(-13%) | (10) Black Buble 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler who hasn't looked a natural over fences, again making mistakes when fourth to Enry Iggins at Doncaster 125 days ago. A more efficient round of jumping would give him a chance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (18/1 -80%) Ramonex |
18/1(-80%) | (6) Ramonex 18/1, Fairly useful chaser who has produced only one respectable effort (fourth at Hereford on penultimate start) and even that was rather laboured. |

1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Chase The Wind |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Chase The Wind 4/1, Veteran who has dropped a long way in the weights and took a positive step when third at Wetherby last time. Not taken lightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (25/1 +38%) Taboo |
25/1(+38%) | (6) Taboo 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who has been well below form since finishing second at Bangor in November. Returns to hurdling but firmly up against it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2/1 -100%) Unai |
2/1(-100%) | (1) Unai 2/1, Still relatively unexposed and has made a positive start to his chasing career, finishing with running left when third at Sedgefield last time. Further improvement to come with cheekpieces fitted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +20%) Stay Out Of Court |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Stay Out Of Court 4/1, Dual point winner but just modest form under Rules this season, so probably needs more leeway from the handicapper. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) High Counsel |
6.5/1(+28%) | (5) High Counsel 6.5/1, Has struggled for form all season, down the field in handicap at Ayr last time, so hard to make a strong case for despite much-reduced mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8.5/1(-31%) | (4) Dylanseoghan 8.5/1, Back to form out of the blue in first-time blinkers when winning at Plumpton in March but didn't find the headgear working so well a second time there 10 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (6/1 +70%) Shanroe Smooch |
6/1(+70%) | (8) Shanroe Smooch 6/1, Point winner who has looked poor under Rules and makes little appeal once again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

12/1(-50%) | (1) Corey's Courage 12/1, Dunaden mare. Dam, fair bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Victorias Groom. In very good hands and debutante commands plenty of respect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2.5/1 +0%) Game On For Glory |
2.5/1(+0%) | (3) Game On For Glory 2.5/1, 17/2, promising second of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 146 days ago. Sure to build on that run. In the mix. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(+76%) | (5) Blue Collar Glory 16/1, €8,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory filly. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Bon Retour, and half-sister to 3 other winners. Wears hood. Appeals on pedigree so newcomer is worth a second look. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3.5/1 -133%) Get A Tonic |
3.5/1(-133%) | (4) Get A Tonic 3.5/1, Winning pointer who (6/5) shaped really well when third of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) 34 days ago. Form has been franked, so she rates a big player. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (1.5/1 +45%) Marmalaid |
1.5/1(+45%) | (6) Marmalaid 1.5/1, Martaline filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler (Champion Hurdle winner) Katchit . Leading yard is always highly respected in this sphere so she rates an interesting newcomer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
