1st (4)  (14/1 +44%)Landen Calling |
14/1(+44%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Landen Calling 14/1, Modest hurdler who isn't really progressing, so will need blinkers to perk him up if he's to make a serious impact. | |||
2nd (3)  (33/1 -106%)Kennack Bay |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kennack Bay 33/1, Promise on hurdles debut at Doncaster in December 2020 but little impact after. First run for 7 months. | |||
3rd (8)  (12/1 +25%)You Name Him |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) You Name Him 12/1, Fair at best but hasn't been firing of late, so hard to fancy. | |||
4th (13)  (5.5/1 +15%)Gareth Cael |
5.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Gareth Cael 5.5/1, No show in novice hurdles but made more impact in handicaps the last twice, so he warrants respect in a race that lacks depth. | |||
5th (6)  (50/1 -456%)Hunky |
50/1(-456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hunky 50/1, Held in bumper/ novice hurdles this year and opening mark doesn't look all that lenient. | |||
6th (14)  (22/1 -10%)Ladi Chala |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Ladi Chala 22/1, Modest maiden on Flat in France and hard to warm to judged on exploits for Stuart Edmunds/this yard more recently. | |||
7th (5)  (5/1 +0%)Bolsover Bill |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bolsover Bill 5/1, 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) by 21 lengths 3 weeks ago. Got to enter calculations. | |||
8th (11)  (8/1 +33%)Getaway Cory |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Getaway Cory 8/1, Modest maiden but has recorded some creditable efforts in the frame since cheekpieces have been applied, including over C&D. Saddle slipped when favourite at Wincanton last time. Looks set for a big run. | |||
9th (7)  (40/1 -186%)Kotki |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kotki 40/1, No impact on these shores, but not one to write off on the pick of his French form from further-reduced mark. Blinkers back on. | |||
10th (12)  (33/1 -83%)Paddy Husseys Taxi |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Paddy Husseys Taxi 33/1, Hinted at temperament in a couple of Stratford bumpers and hasn't offered a great deal over hurdles. He's up in trip for handicap debut with Sam Twiston-Davies booked, so he's worth a market check. | |||
|PU| (9)  (3.5/1 +50%)Heron Creek |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Heron Creek 3.5/1, Had wind op before opening his account in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow earlier this month and wasn't discredited faced with a quick turnaround at Fontwell next time. Respected. | |||
|PU| (2)  (4.5/1 +31%)Braganza Bay |
4.5/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Braganza Bay 4.5/1, Has been unable to kick on from an eye-catching hurdling debut and, while not disgraced at Hereford last time, it's hard to place maximum faith in him after a break. | |||
|PU| (10)  (11/1 +8%)Train Hill |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Train Hill 11/1, Second in a C&D handicap hurdle in September and, while he was pulled up at Southwell on his only start since, he can't be discounted with a tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. | |||
|PU| (1)  (22/1 -214%)Herecomeshogan |
22/1(-214%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Herecomeshogan 22/1, Excellent third of 12 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 14 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut and can't be taken lightly. | |||
|PU| (15)  (100/1 -52%)Culverwell |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Culverwell 100/1, Dual winning pointer who hasn't offered a great deal under Rules but at least has cheekpieces now tried on handicap debut. |

1st (3)  (6/1 -9%)Boreen Boy |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Boreen Boy 6/1, Debut winner of bumper at Listowel in September. Had wind op before modest fifth in 2m Huntingdon maiden hurdler last month. Hooded for 1st time with work to do. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.5/1 +25%)Blackcauseway |
1.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blackcauseway 1.5/1, Points winner who posted good third of 8 in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f) 30 days ago. Tongue tie on again. Down in trip and a player here. | |||
3rd (4)  (4.5/1 +25%)Chestnut Pete |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chestnut Pete 4.5/1, Fair hurdler. Faced stiff task when seventh of 8 at Auteuil (19.4f) when last seen out 19 months ago. Tongue strap back on. Very good form claims if fully tuned up after his long absence. | |||
4th (8)  (3.33/1 -48%)Robiola |
3.33/1(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Robiola 3.33/1, Fair form shown in bumpers, though he looked awkward under pressure when sixth of 9 at Doncaster 43 days ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut. | |||
5th (7)  (100/1 +0%)Kings Justice |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kings Justice 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) 25 days ago. Hard to warm to. | |||
6th (5)  (6/1 -9%)Couldbeaweapon |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Couldbeaweapon 6/1, Best of three runs over hurdles whenfifth of 9 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Southwell (15.8f) 17 days ago. No forlorn hope. | |||
7th (1)  (100/1 +0%)Barnie Beetle |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barnie Beetle 100/1, 80/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f) 48 days ago on final run for Oliver Greenall. Has lots to find for his new yard. | |||
8th (6)  (50/1 -25%)Diamond Jack |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Diamond Jack 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f) 14 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Others appeal more. |

2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ecco 2.5/1, Successful twice during 2020/21 campaign but not been operating at best despite a sliding mark this year, fifth of 7 over timber at Wincanton (21.3f) 3 weeks ago. Still, not entirely ruled out now chasing with tongue tie added to blinkers. | |||
2nd (4)  (4/1 +27%)Statuario |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Statuario 4/1, Twice went agonisingly close in 2m handicaps at Warwick/Southwell this time last year. Form tailed off thereafter but he boasts a solid record fresh and no surprise to see a better effort on return despite operating from out of the weights. | |||
3rd (2)  (8.5/1 -6%)Barnaviddaun |
8.5/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barnaviddaun 8.5/1, Progressive Irish hurdler who is built for chasing and was in process of running well when unseating first 2 starts over fences. However, he's been some way below best both starts since, latterly when last of 3 at Huntingdon. Visor goes on now. | |||
4th (1)  (1/1 -37%)Stepney Causeway |
1/1(-37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stepney Causeway 1/1, Useful hurdler who chased home Edwardstone on chase debut back in November. Mixed bag since but looked set to get back on track when falling 2 out at Southwell 25 days ago (race at his mercy). Expected to make a bold bid. |

3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Francky Du Berlais 3/1, In fine form last spring/summer when landing the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. Out of sorts in the autumn/winter but big step back in the right direction back from a break when fourth of 29 in Topham at Aintree 3 weeks ago. Potentially well handicapped if able to build on that. | |||
2nd (3)  (25/1 -56%)Romain De Senam |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Romain De Senam 25/1, Smart chaser at up to an easy 3m for Paul Nicholls/Dan Skelton. Off 11 months and pulled up for new connections in Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter. However, shaped much better when 10th in Grand National at Aintree (failed to stay). Back down to last winning mark. | |||
3rd (4)  (14/1 -40%)Storm Control |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Storm Control 14/1, Won at Newbury in January and looked likely to follow up in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster next time, collared after typically idling in front. Has an all-or-nothing profile nowadays, however, and pulled up last 2 starts. | |||
4th (1)  (40/1 -300%)Irish Prophecy |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Irish Prophecy 40/1, Looked as good as ever when scoring at Wincanton in October but merely underlined his inconsistency when pulled up there following month. | |||
5th (5)  (7.5/1 +25%)Lord Accord |
7.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lord Accord 7.5/1, Bumper/dual hurdles winner who impressed when making a successful chase debut at Uttoxeter (22.5f). Added a small-field win at Taunton in December but disappointed both starts since. Headgear now applied. | |||
6th (9)  (11/1 -83%)Tide Times |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tide Times 11/1, Looked better than ever when opening his chase account at Ludlow and defied a penalty by a narrow margin there 5 days later. More needed again up 6 lb in better race. | |||
7th (10)  (3.5/1 +50%)Captain Tommy |
3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Captain Tommy 3.5/1, Gained breakthrough success over fences in this race last year off 2 lb higher on debut for this yard. Bit of a mixed record since but last 2 placed efforts were respectable. No surprise to see him go well in first-time cheekpieces. | |||
8th (7)  (6.5/1 +28%)The Golden Rebel |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Golden Rebel 6.5/1, Career-best display when off the mark over fences at Doncaster (20.5f) in December. Jumping failed to pass muster when falling back at that venue in January and didn't fully convince over this trip at Ayr 4 weeks ago. | |||
9th (2)  (7.5/1 +32%)Back On The Lash |
7.5/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Back On The Lash 7.5/1, Relished the step up in trip when making a winning start to cross-country career at Cheltenham in November. Disappointed in similar event at the Festival there last time so needs to bounce back. | |||
|PU| (8)  (8.5/1 -55%)Ashington |
8.5/1(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ashington 8.5/1, As good as ever when scoring over hurdles at Sedgefield 5 weeks ago. Not seen over fences since scoring on his second chase start at Hexham in June. |

1.62/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Whatsupwithyou 1.62/1, Losing run dates back to 2019 but nearly snappped that sequence when a narrow second at Fontwell last month and backed that up when runner-up at Cheltenham (20.3f) since. Likely to make presence felt again. | |||
2nd (1)  (6.5/1 -136%)Hunters Call |
6.5/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hunters Call 6.5/1, Veteran who landed Bangor handicap (19.6f) on return and got back on track when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (21.4f, good) 28 days ago. 2 lb lower now and warrants respect. Cheekpieces on first time | |||
3rd (3)  (4.5/1 +36%)Hooper |
4.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hooper 4.5/1, Won 5 on the spin last year but switch to chasing seemed to curb his enthusiasm and he was disappointing when last seen in this sphere in October. | |||
4th (8)  (2.75/1 +39%)Hurricane Ali |
2.75/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hurricane Ali 2.75/1, Course winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle (9/4) at Haydock (18.9f, good to firm) 38 days ago. 6 lb higher now (2 lb out of the handicap) but can't be ruled out. | |||
5th (4)  (20/1 -67%)Champagne Well |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Champagne Well 20/1, Ex-pointer who made up into useful novice hurdler during 2019/2020 campaign. Big step up from his reappearance when winning at Plumpton in November but below that level since and plenty to prove now. | |||
6th (2)  (12/1 -85%)Some Day Soon |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Some Day Soon 12/1, Useful hurdler who scored at the first attempt over fences at Stratford (21f) in July. Didn't progress in 2 subsequent outings in that sphere but he performed with credit back hurdling when third at Aintree in October. Off since. Cheekpieces back on. |

1.62/1(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Found On 1.62/1, Dual winner over hurdles and made it fourth time lucky over fences at Market Rasen (21.4f) last month. However, it's unlikely that she'll be gifted a soft lead this time and more will be needed here having gone up 5 lb. | |||
2nd (2)  (3.5/1 -40%)Shetland Bus |
3.5/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shetland Bus 3.5/1, Completed hat-trick over hurdles at Perth last summer for Justin Landy. Shaped well on second start for new yard when fourth in a handicap chase at Bangor three weeks ago and he's now 3 lb lower in the weights. | |||
3rd (1)  (2/1 +0%)Clemencia |
2/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Clemencia 2/1, Gained due reward for what has been a consistent start to the year when making all in a four-runner affair at Huntingdon (2½m) 12 days ago. 6 lb rise tolerable and another bold show is anticipated. | |||
|PU| (4)  (5.5/1 +8%)Brewers Project |
5.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Brewers Project 5.5/1, Won maiden and novice hurdle last season, but has been disappointing over fences this time round. Still, his mark is on the slide and he'll be a threat if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect. |

11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Havana River 11/1, Not seen under Rules since well held at Sedgefield 13 months ago and recent efforts in points haven't been encouraging. 5 lb out of the handicap on debut for new yard. | |||
2nd (1)  (6/1 +0%)Dalkingstown |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dalkingstown 6/1, Dual point winner who came good over fences in Sedgefield handicap (26.3f) in January. More recent efforts have lacked sparkle, however. Cheekpieces back on. | |||
3rd (9)  (3.33/1 +5%)Wavecrest |
3.33/1(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wavecrest 3.33/1, Off the mark when taking 9-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good) in November. Below that level when third at Fontwell (26f) last month but remains low mileage over fences. | |||
4th (6)  (3.33/1 +33%)Out For Justice |
3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Out For Justice 3.33/1, Not scored for some time and flattered by proximity to winner when second of 5 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f, good, 7/2) latest. Others preferred for win purposes. | |||
5th (5)  (10/1 -33%)Lough Salt |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lough Salt 10/1, Dual hurdles winner who finally came good over fences at Doncaster (3m) in February and backed that up with an impressive win over same C&D the following month. Well beaten off this mark since, however. | |||

6.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Richardson 6.5/1, Found some improvement when off the mark in 2½m hurdle here in December 2020. However, not matched that form since and best watched on chase debut. | |||
7th (3)  (12/1 -20%)Classic Escape |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Classic Escape 12/1, Ran respectably over hurdles on penultimate start but turned in a poor effort in this sphere latest and makes limited appeal. | |||

7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peur De Rien 7/1, Respectable in-frame efforts on first 2 outings last term but his jumping has let him down since. | |||

66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Carumba 66/1, Winning pointer but no impact in 6 starts under Rules and readily opposed from so far out of the weights. |

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.
