(4)  (6/4 +25%)Go To War |
6/4(+25%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Go To War 6/4, Made appeal on paper and off the mark at first time of asking in 11-runner bumper here 12 months ago. Built on that promise when eighth of 20 in Grade 2 event at Aintree 6 months later and should have a good future as a hurdler. Debut win here reads well and was then eighth of 20 in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree. |
|||
(1)  (6/1 +14%)Macanogue |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Macanogue 6/1, Improved when landing a gamble in 14-runner maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) in May, all out. Sold out of Luke Comer's yard for £30,000 later that month and the suspicion is he'll need to improve again to defy a penalty. The winner of an Irish maiden hurdle and might be vulnerable with his penalty. |
|||
(7)  (8/1 +0%)Making Headway |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Making Headway 8/1, £35,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Malinas gelding. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 2022) and warrants respect on Rules debut. Engaged 2,25 Carlisle Thursday. Had a hard race when winning her first hurdle at Carlisle on Thursday. |
|||
(3)  (9/2 +10%)Goodwin |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Goodwin 9/2, Confirmed debut promise when easily landing 9-runner bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good) in February, suited by longer trip. Much respected now going hurdling. Came readily clear to win his bumper at Fontwell and could be a useful hurdling recruit. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 -25%)Damarta |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Damarta 10/1, Carried over his headstrong tendencies from bumpers but still caught the eye when just failing to snatch third on hurdling debut here (16.8f) in May. Still in need of the experience when below that level on his recent return at Newton Abbot and remains with potential. Can be headstrong and again he was never dangerous at Newton Abbot. |
|||
(5)  (15/2 -50%)Impatient |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Impatient 15/2, Quite expensive as a store horse and showed plenty to work on when second in a Newcastle bumper in December. Run best excused (stumbled after halfway) at Ayr 4 months later so better judged on debut form ahead of this switch to hurdling. Others achieved more in the bumper scene but he's a likely improver over hurdles. |
|||
(9)  (20/1 -43%)Getaway Glory |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Getaway Glory 20/1, €17,000 3-y-o, £40,000 4-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Vintage Fizz and point/bumper winner Fameaftertheglory. Won only start in Irish points in April and rates an interesting Rules debutant for respected yard. Bought for £40,000 after winning an Irish point in April (front two clear). |
|||
(6)  (25/1 -56%)Lone Soldier |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lone Soldier 25/1, Green sole outing in bumpers and shaped as if better for the run sent hurdling after 9 months off (had breathing op) when eighth of 11 at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) 18 days ago. Open to improvement but may be brought along with handicaps in mind. Yard done well in this race; wouldn't be the obvious answer on what he's shown. |
|||
(11)  (80/1 -60%)Orbys River |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Orbys River 80/1, €13,000 3-y-o, £8,000 5-y-o, Ol' Man River mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Clash of D Titans. Dam pulled up both starts in points. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, fell latest (May 7). In second when falling late on in her second Irish point; form looks nothing special. |
|||
(10)  (100/1 +0%)James Baie |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) James Baie 100/1, Unplaced sole outing in points and showed only modest form in a pair of bumpers for Harriet Dickin. Needs a big step forward on hurdle/yard debut. Some bumper promise for previous yard; up against it in a novice of this nature. |
|||
(8)  (125/1 -25%)My Monty |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) My Monty 125/1, Showed a bit more than previously in a first-time tongue strap when fourth of 9 at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) on final outing in bumpers. Off 6 months and needs to improve plenty more on hurdle debut. Ran better in his final bumper at Stratford but was still beaten about 16l. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GO TO WAR made the ideal start to his career when scoring in a bumper at this track last October before taking his chance in the Grade 2 at Aintree in the spring. He wasn't disgraced in finishing eighth on that occasion and the five-year-old gets the vote on his hurdling bow. Goodwin displayed promise in a couple of bumper outings, winning on the second occasion at Fontwell, and he is likely to pose a solid threat, along with Macanogue, who has winning form over timber in Ireland.
GO TO WAR is bred to be suited by longer trips, but he certainly didn't look slow when seeing off a subsequent winner in a C&D bumper on his debut, so he's selected to make a successful start over hurdles for his red-hot stable. Fellow bumper winner Goodwin is another interesting hurdling newcomer, while Damarta remains with potential having still looked notably raw on his recent return at Newton Abbot.
Preference is for GO TO WAR, who beat a talented horse here on his bumper debut before a respectable effort in a Grade 2 at Aintree.

(4)  (5/2 +0%)Havock |
5/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Havock 5/2, Fifth of 8 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) 7 months ago. In excellent hands so he's much respected on his hurdles debut. His middle bumper effort makes for good reading; this doesn't look strong. |
|||
(8)  (7/2 +7%)Toonagh Warrior |
7/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Toonagh Warrior 7/2, Fair form at best in handful of bumper starts and ran to a similar level when third in 14-runner Kilbeggan novice hurdle (2m) 42 days ago. Possible he can build on that so holds very good claims. It was a weak maiden at Kilbeggan (third) but still shown more than most of these. |
|||
(5)  (7/1 -17%)I Got Stung |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) I Got Stung 7/1, Off 6 months before fading fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Worcester (16f, soft, 10/1) 8 days ago. Can build on it now. He's been beaten a distance in both his runs over hurdles, latterly only last week. |
|||
(1)  (8/1 -14%)Bitsnbuckles |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bitsnbuckles 8/1, Runner-up in a point before coming in eighth of 15 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, heavy, 9/1) 169 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and needs considering for his new yard. Down the field in an Irish bumper after finishing second in a point; bought £25,000. |
|||
(11)  (10/1 -25%)Chantilly Rose |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Chantilly Rose 10/1, Modest form when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to take another step forward. Disappointing in two slow-ground hurdles and stable jockey rides their other one. |
|||
(7)  (11/1 -29%)Myfanwy's Magic |
11/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Myfanwy's Magic 11/1, Eighth of 13 in bumper at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft, 80/1). Off 6 months ahead of his hurdles debut with work to do. Out of a multiple winner between the flags; just minor promise in his two bumpers. |
|||
(9)  (12/1 -50%)Ballynaheer |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ballynaheer 12/1, £36,000 4-y-o, Mahler gelding. Brother to fair 2½m hurdle winner Transfer Friendly. Dam unraced. Market can prove a good guide. Went close in a British point (2m5f, good) in April and bought soon afterwards for £36,000. |
|||
(2)  (25/1 +0%)Exclusive Getaway |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Exclusive Getaway 25/1, 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, soft) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. More is needed. His bumper second looks iffy form; 100-1 for hurdling debut and ran accordingly. |
|||
(3)  (25/1 +0%)Gentle Victor |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gentle Victor 25/1, Seventh of 11 in bumper (50/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, good) on NH debut 157 days ago. Needs to step forward on his hurdles debut. 50-1 chance when tailed off on good ground at Newcastle in May; best watched for now. |
|||
(6)  (40/1 +39%)Kalabana |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kalabana 40/1, Last of 11 in novice hurdle (100/1) at this C&D (good to soft) on NH debut. Off 12 months with lots to find. Went off 100-1 for his hurdling debut here and showed very little. |
|||
(10)  (150/1 -50%)Jumbo Veste Verte |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jumbo Veste Verte 150/1, Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft, 250/1) 167 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Tailed off in hurdles at Market Rasen (soft) and here (good to soft). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This appears to be the weaker of the two divisions with the tentative vote going to HAVOCK. The five-year-old shaped with some promise when fourth on his penultimate start at Warwick on New Year's Eve and a repeat of that display might prove to be enough. Toonagh Warrior is respected on his debut for Stuart Edmunds having placed on his hurdles debut at Kilbeggan last month. Others to note include Ballynaheer and Chantilly Rose.
A few with chances and the market could prove highly revealing. Ex-Irish TOONAGH WARRIOR holds the edge on form so gets the vote on his debut for Stuart Edmunds ahead of Dan Skelton's hurdling newcomer Havock. Olly Murphy's debutant Bitsnbuckles is another who could have a say in an open-looking contest.
If HAVOCK can tap into the promise he showed in his second bumper then he could take the beating in a weak race.

(3)  (4/1 +11%)Conkwell Legend |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Conkwell Legend 4/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who resumed winning ways at Plumpton (20.5f) in March and ran equally as well in defeat when runner-up from 9 lb higher mark at Ffos Las (20f) a month later, noted staying on well. Longer trip may unlock a little more progress returning from 6 months off. Ended last season well and conditions are ideal for his return; respected. |
|||
(5)  (5/1 +0%)Ballydisco |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ballydisco 5/1, Improved for switch to handicaps/step up in trip, career-best effort when bagging second career success under his regular pilot at Chepstow (23.6f) in April. No surprise where he capable of better again this term given low-mileage profile. Won two of his last three and he's far from unexposed after just seven runs. |
|||
(4)  (6/1 -33%)Martha Brae |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Martha Brae 6/1, Consistent last season and she gained due reward when adding to her tally at Hereford (25.5f) in March. Matched that form when runner-up from revised mark at Warwick (25f) in April and she returns to action with her leading yard amongst the winners. Possibilities. On a competitive mark but questionable whether she wants the ground this soft. |
|||
(6)  (8/1 +0%)Rock Of Star |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rock Of Star 8/1, Hurdles winner who took his form up a notch over fences last season, landing back-to-back handicap chase contests at Chepstow (23.6f) in the spring. More on his plate back over smaller obstacles on return from out of the weights, however. Looks progressive and it might not matter too much that he's out of the weights. |
|||
(2)  (11/1 -10%)Hillview |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hillview 11/1, 5-time winner over hurdles who ran another solid race back from 5 months off when second of 9 in a C&D handicap in May (Espoir de Romay placed third). Went backwards from that at Cartmel (25.4f) later that month but no surprise to see a better showing here. Capable hurdler but this ground will be softer than he cares for. |
|||
(1)  (15/8 +6%)Espoir De Romay |
15/8(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Espoir De Romay 15/8, Very capable sort who has been lightly raced in recent seasons, but he again ran with credit when third in a C&D handicap back in May. Undergone wind surgery ahead of return and he comes here with his yard amongst the winners. Respected with tongue tie back on. Better over fences but still competitive over hurdles earlier this year; had wind op. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ESPOIR DE ROMAY was last seen finishing third over C&D in May and the nine-year-old, who arrives following a wind operation, appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get his head in front for the first time since March 2021, especially given his appreciation for testing conditions. Martha Brae was hugely consistent last season and she is likely to enter calculations once again. Ballydisco and Conkwell Legend appeal most of the remainder.
BALLYDISCO showed improved form in line with the longer trip switched to handicaps last term, producing a career-best display when doubling his career tally at Chepstow in April. The type to potentially do better still, he could be worth siding with on seasonal bow. Conkwell Legend and Espoir de Romay can emerge as the chief threats in a competitive affair.
Kim Bailey's ESPOIR DE ROMAY could have the class to defy top weight. He won his next race after his previous wind operation.

(2)  (5/1 -50%)Bear Ghylls |
5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bear Ghylls 5/1, Had a fine season as a novice hurdler in 2020/21, winning 3 times. Exploits mixed over fences/hurdles following a lengthy absence last term and he's undergone wind surgery ahead of his return to action. Market may prove a useful guide. Well handicapped on the form he was showing two winters ago when effective in the mud. |
|||
(3)  (9/4 -13%)Emitom |
9/4(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Emitom 9/4, Grade 2 winning hurdler earlier in his career who justified support when making a winning yard debut from his much-reduced mark at Newbury (24.2f) in March. Remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form and has to be of interest on seasonal bow. Former class act; returned to winning ways on stable debut in March; up 5lb. |
|||
(5)  (9/4 +0%)Equinus |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Equinus 9/4, Made a successful handicap debut at Ffos Las (20f) in January and back to that sort of form when third at Newbury (18.8f) in March. Behind when unseating rider last at Chepstow on final start in April but comes here with yard having made bright start to the campaign and better showing anticipated. Second-season hurdler with more to offer and his yard is on a roll. |
|||
(1)  (11/2 +15%)Dolphin Square |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dolphin Square 11/2, Enhanced his good record fresh when successful on last season's return at Sandown (23.5f) in December. Couldn't scale same heights in handful of starts thereafter last term, below best at Aintree in April. Stil, time to catch him could be first time out. Lost his way last season but it began well when winning off a 4lb higher mark. |
|||
(4)  (16/1 +20%)Art Approval |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Art Approval 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler who matched that level without getting his head in front over fencesduring second half of last season. Switched yards ahead of return and worth noting he's now operating 2 lb below last winning mark. Three hurdle wins; chasing last season (0-4); possibilities off this sort of mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Emitom made a perfect start to life with Alan King when landing the spoils at Newbury in March and he is likely to prove popular on his return to action. A 5lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable for the Gold Well gelding, but it may be worth taking a chance on fellow seasonal debutant BEAR GHYLLS. The handicapper has relinquished his grip on the eight-year-old and a wind procedure may unlock some improvement. Dolphin Square is another to note off an attractive rating.
EMITOM has tumbled in the weights and was evidently perked up by a yard switch when resuming winning ways at Newbury (24.2f) back in March. Remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on old form, he's fancied to make a bold bid on return. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in very good order and his Equinus is feared on return, with Dophin Square another to note given his particularly good record fresh.
All five are feasible winners off their current marks. EQUINUS (nap) is a second-season hurdler on a good mark and his yard is bouncing.

(5)  (8/1 -7%)Damask |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Damask 8/1, Has looked pretty limited in 3 starts in juvenile/maiden company and fared no better on handicap debut at Ludlow final start. Off 6 months. Still early days but with much to prove right now in just her second handicap. |
|||
(1)  (9/2 -13%)Kapamazov |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kapamazov 9/2, Point runner-up who shaped with some promise when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Hereford (21.7f, good to soft). Unsuited by drop in trip at Newcastle next time, however, and likely to prove vulnerable again at this trip on handicap bow/return. This mark no gift on his achievements to date but he's kicking off in a weak handicap. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 +0%)Loukarak |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Loukarak 9/1, Fair form shown over both hurdles and fences, latest when 3½ lengths second of 4 in 3-y-o event at Dax on chasing debut in September. Well held both starts for this yard, however. Poor so far in the UK but may need the mud and his French form wasn't bad. |
|||
(2)  (11/4 -22%)Lelant |
11/4(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lelant 11/4, Still rough around the edges but showed more than on his hurdling debut when running on for second under hand riding in Ffos Las maiden in March, the longer trip suiting. Failed to continue his theme of run-to-run progression there final start but worth another chance on handicap bow/return. His standout run is the only time he's raced on good ground; handicap debut. |
|||
(4)  (13/8 +19%)Just Over Land |
13/8(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Over Land 13/8, Brother to connections' smart bumper winner/useful hurdler Good Risk At All. Made steady progress in 3 hurdle starts last season but disappointed at Chepstow on handicap bow final outing. Worth another chance. Ran below expectations on handicap debut and now returns to shorter; can do better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
JUST OVER LAND appeared too keen to see out the extended 2m3f distance when pulling up on his handicap debut at Chepstow in April. The Sam Thomas-trained inmate is expected to prove more competitive now returned to 2m and a breakthrough success could be in the offing for a yard in flying form. Lelant's opening mark looks workable judged on his runner-up effort at Ffos Las in March and he is feared most, ahead of Kapamazov, who should enjoy ground conditions.
JUST OVER LAND failed to meet expectations on his handicap bow at Chepstow in April but he's worth another chance given his overall profile. Lelant was also progressive prior to his last run so could well bounce back now handicapping.
Sam Thomas won with all his three runners at last week's Chepstow meeting and JUST OVER LAND is interesting in his second handicap.

7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Betty's Tiara 7/2, Half-sister to a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking in a 10-runner event at Stratford 50 days ago. Solid claims as she bids to defy a penalty. Front two clear when justifying market support with a gritty win at Stratford. |
|||
(3)  (7/1 -17%)Chase Park |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chase Park 7/1, In hood, shaped encouragingly amidst greenness when fourth of 6 in conditionals/amateurs mares bumper at Ludlow but hasn't been seen for 17 months since, so hard to know if she'll build on that. Also hooded at Ludlow where she responded well for pressure to be beaten 5l. |
|||
(8)  (9/4 +0%)Lady Jago |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lady Jago 9/4, £80,000 4-y-o, Getaway filly. Half-sister to modest hurdler Somewhat Cloudy. Dam (h133) 2½m-3m hurdle winner. Won only start in Irish points (Apr 2) and worth chancing to defend that unbeaten record on Rules debut. Bought for £80,000 soon after winning a seven-runner point in Ireland (3m, soft). |
|||
(2)  (10/1 +29%)Bobbi's Beauty |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bobbi's Beauty 10/1, Successful in an Irish point and best excused (lost action) her debut at Cheltenham 6 months ago. Not one to write off, particularly if the market speaks in her favour. 10-1 for a Cheltenham bumper in April and reportedly lost her action there. |
|||
(6)  (11/2 -10%)Giver The Hollie |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Giver The Hollie 11/2, €18,000 3-y-o, £15,000 4-y-o, Shirocco filly. Dam unraced, closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chase winner (stays 2½m) Cornerkova. Placed both completed starts in Irish points (latest May 7) and stable has a good record in this sphere. Irish point form not great but new yard is likely to bring her on. |

14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Oneandahalfdegrees 14/1, Related to several winners and minor promise when fifth at Hereford 6 months ago. Needs a marked step forward from that, however. Looked a bit slow at Hereford when never dangerous on good to soft. |

17/2(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Easy To Follow 17/2, Arcadio mare. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Away At Dawn. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Knight of Noir. Runner-up on 3 of 4 starts in Irish points (latest Apr 2). One to note. Ran fairly well in all four Irish points, twice going really close on testing ground. |

(7)  (40/1 -21%)Irene's Pearl |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Irene's Pearl 40/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and little encouragement at Worcester a month ago. Got outpaced on good ground at Worcester and was beaten nearly 20l. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Betty's Tiara drew 19 lengths clear with the runner-up when scoring by half a length on her debut in a bumper at Stratford in August and, despite shouldering a 7lb penalty, she merits the utmost respect in her follow-up bid. Preference, however, is for the Dan Skelton-trained LADY JAGO, who was a winner on her sole 3m point-to-point outing in April and the four-year-old possesses enough speed in her pedigree to suggest that she could land a race of this nature. Giver The Hollie and Chase Park are also worth a second look.
LADY JAGO has joined a powerful yard since landing an Irish point and this looks like a good starting point, so she's preferred to Betty's Tiara, who made a successful start at Stratford 50 days ago. Giver The Hollie, another one who has shown form between the flags, is also worthy of consideration.
A chance is taken on EASY TO FOLLOW, who coped well with testing conditions when competitive in all her Irish points.

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.
