1st (7)  (17/2 +6%)Easy To Follow |
17/2(+6%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Easy To Follow 17/2, Runner-up on 3 of 4 starts in Irish points and shaped like a stayer switched to Rules when third in a Sedgefield bumper last month. Step up in trip will suit on hurdle debut. 2nd in three Irish points; showed enough in Sedgefield bumper to be given a second look. |
|||
2nd (3)  (4/1 +67%)Rock Danse |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rock Danse 4/1, Unplaced completed start in Irish points but hinted at better to come at some stage on his belated Rules debut at Chepstow 18 days ago. Transformation needed after two Irish points (2021) and a recent 2m3f maiden at Chepstow. |
|||
3rd (2)  (5/2 +38%)He Knows Better |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) He Knows Better 5/2, Showed fairly useful form when placed on 2 of his 3 bumpers starts for Harry Whittington last season. Must enter calculations on hurdle/stable debut. Has had a breathing operation since last seen. Staying-on 2nd in bumper at Ffos Las (soft) in April; wind surgery; could be major player. |
|||
4th (6)  (10/3 +26%)Pearl Island |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pearl Island 10/3, Bred to stay well and shaped in kind in pair of bumpers, running green and taking second close home at Ludlow (15.7f) in April. Longer trip sure to suit now hurdling back from 6 months off. In the frame in bumpers; the first foal of a staying hurdler for these connections. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/3 +52%)Saint Bibiana |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Saint Bibiana 10/3, Left previous form behind when landing a course bumper in December. Outclassed in Grade 2 at Aintree on completed start since but should have a future over hurdles for new yard (has left Kim Bailey). Best efforts in bumpers for Kim Bailey, including heavy-ground win here, give her a chance. |
|||
6th (4)  (16/1 -33%)Tara Cove |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tara Cove 16/1, Won 3 times from 7 outings in points but well below expectations in a Kelso maiden hurdle on Rules debut 3 weeks ago, possibly amiss. Up in trip. 3-7 in Irish points; 11-2, faded to be beaten 20l in maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, soft). |
|||
7th (5)  (50/1 +50%)Willwekeephim |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Willwekeephim 50/1, Well held in 3 bumpers in Ireland for Peter John Flood and offered little sent hurdling in a first-time hood over C&D 41 days ago. 150-1 and hooded, stable/hurdle debut in C&D maiden (good to soft) was a heavy defeat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Form horse Classic Lord showed more again last time. However, HE KNOWS BETTER and Pearl Island are interesting from bumpers.

1st (1)  (4/6 -8%)Booster Bob |
4/6(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Booster Bob 4/6, Successful in bumper at Ayr on debut but went backwards from that effort at Wetherby next time. However, after 6 months off and with hood applied, he made a winning start over hurdles in C&D maiden last month. Open to progress and he looks the one to beat. Created pretty good impression when scoring over C&D on hurdle debut; obvious contender. |
|||
2nd (6)  (14/1 +79%)Crimson Ruby |
14/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Crimson Ruby 14/1, Modest form on first of 2 starts in bumpers but has offerred little in a pair of novice hurdles so far. Looks to be up against it as she drops in trip. Soundly beaten on first two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m5f). |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/2 +0%)Letthedustsettle |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Letthedustsettle 9/2, Successful on his sole outing in points in March and shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 18 in novice at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) on his hurdles debut 2 weeks ago. Could make his presence felt with his recent outing behind him. Point winner in March and ran well to a point on recent stable/hurdle debut; e-w claims. |
|||
4th (2)  (22/1 -10%)Come To Pass |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Come To Pass 22/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) who has been without a win this year. Stepped up on his recent run when 2¼ lengths ninth of 12 at Lingfield 17 days ago, despite pulling hard, so he'll need to settle better as he goes over hurdles. Low-grade Flat winner; makes only limited appeal on this hurdling debut. |
|||
5th (5)  (4/1 -14%)Wild Grouse |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wild Grouse 4/1, Getaway gelding who cost £30,000 after easily winning on the third of his 3 starts in Irish points in March. Has joined a good stable for his Rules career and he's one to note on his hurdles bow, especially if the market vibes are positive. Bought for £30,000 after winning heavy-ground Irish point by 16l in March; rules debut. |
|||
6th (7)  (22/1 +12%)It's For You Mum |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) It's For You Mum 22/1, Well held on her only start in bumpers and didn't get very far sent hurdling when falling at the first in novice at Hexham 8 days ago. Improvement needed. Fell at first flight when 100-1 for recent hurdling debut. |
|||
7th (4)  (50/1 +24%)Tampico Rocco |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tampico Rocco 50/1, Poor form and headstrong in bumpers. After 13 months off, he was held but keeping on alongside the eventual third when falling 3 out in maiden at Huntingdon (19.6f) on hurdles debut last month. Others preferred. Looked held before falling at third-last flight on hurdling debut; faces a tall order. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (66/1 -100%)Orbys River |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Orbys River 66/1, Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, falling on the latest occasion in May. Has a fair standard to aim at as she makes her Rules debut. Set to finish second before last-fence fall in Irish point in May; rules debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Irish point winner Wild Grouse is evidently suited by heavy ground but this could be another good opportunity for BOOSTER BOB.

1st (4)  (2/1 +65%)Heritier |
2/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heritier 2/1, Dual winner over fences last autumn but ended the season in a slump and fared little better on return at Carlisle 23 days ago. Others preferred. Well beaten in a chase on seasonal debut; now reverts to hurdling off much lower mark. |
|||
2nd (1)  (16/5 +49%)Atreides |
16/5(+49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Atreides 16/5, Ran to a fair level on his hurdling/Rules debut at Down Royal but hasn't shown anywhere near as much in 3 outings since, albeit he should be sharper than for his recent stable bow and could do better now handicapping. Ran well for a long way in heavy-ground novice on stable debut; handicap debut today. |
|||
3rd (3)  (2/1 +56%)Lifetime Legend |
2/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lifetime Legend 2/1, Built on early promise to get off the mark in 19f female jockeys' event at Catterick in February and shaped as if back in form when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Entitled to be sharper here and merits respect. Ran okay last month, after a break, but would appeal more on better ground. |
|||
4th (7)  (6/1 -13%)Coilrock |
6/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coilrock 6/1, Point winner who offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles last season, but was in the process of stepping up on those efforts before his saddle slipped on return/handicap debut at Kelso (2¼m, good). More needed from out of the weights, though. Hood applied. In contention before saddle slipped on handicap debut; first-time hood; considered. |
|||
5th (8)  (20/1 +82%)Ace Time |
20/1(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ace Time 20/1, Little form since 2021 and latest display over fences was also discouraging. Hard to fancy. Out of sorts over hurdles last season and pulled up on chasing debut in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
After shaping well in a heavy-ground novice last month, ALTREIDES is selected on today's handicap debut.

1st (4)  (5/4 -51%)Grain d'Oudairies |
5/4(-51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Grain d'Oudairies 5/4, Made a winning hurdles debut at Bangor last November and resumed with a very good second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) 23 days ago, just failing having hit 2 out. Can gain compensation here. Went close on recent handicap debut, despite significant jumping error; strong claims here. |
|||
2nd (1)  (10/3 +58%)Sizing Pottsie |
10/3(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sizing Pottsie 10/3, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 but long way below that level for this yard so big leap of faith required, even from lower hurdles mark. Has had a wind op. Lost his way last season and his current ability is tricky to gauge. |
|||
3rd (5)  (5/1 +38%)Polyphonic |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Polyphonic 5/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner. Turned in a rare poor effort for his new yard at Kempton last time but this consistent sort is the type to quickly bounce back. Made encouraging stable debut last month but dropped out tamely at Kempton on Monday. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/2 -27%)Jolly Nellerie |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jolly Nellerie 7/2, Showed fairly useful form on all 3 starts over hurdles in France last summer, winning a juvenile at Aix-Les-Bains. Yet to fire on both runs for his current yard here though so needs to take a big step forward. French hurdle winner; make low-key start to British career but still has potential. |
|||
5th (2)  (28/1 -12%)Elham Valley |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Elham Valley 28/1, Landed Stratford seller in September for Fergal O'Brien but well held both runs since for his new yard at Southwell and Cheltenham. Something to prove. Made respectable stable debut last month but others have more appealing profiles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Low-mileage 7yo GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES looked unlucky not to make a winning handicap debut last month and can gain compensation here.

1st (1)  (5/1 -25%)James Jet |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) James Jet 5/1, Winning pointer who showed most form in a couple of hurdling outings but caught the eye with his finishing effort when third in a novice at Ffos Las 6 months ago. One to note on handicap debut. Unexposed 6yo who shaped with significant promise in two maiden hurdles in the spring. |
|||
2nd (6)  (15/2 +38%)Hi Riko |
15/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hi Riko 15/2, Lightly raced and just poor form over hurdles to date, so big step up required if he's to make an impact after 7 months off. Tongue tied for the first time. Kept on for fourth over 2m on handicap debut in April; this trip may suit him better. |
|||
3rd (7)  (4/1 +33%)Richardson |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Richardson 4/1, Poor handicap hurdler who made a mildly encouraging start for this stable when third in a handicap at Chepstow 10 days ago. Claims if he can build on that. Well suited by heavy ground and stayed on well for third on recent seasonal debut. |
|||
4th (3)  (18/1 -13%)Pilgrims King |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pilgrims King 18/1, Lost his way over hurdles last year and didn't fare much better on chasing debut in December. Not seen since but handicapper has given him a chance. Not seen since disappointing chase debut in January and not yet proven on slower ground. |
|||
5th (5)  (14/1 -40%)Ginderella |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ginderella 14/1, Poor form in 3 qualifying runs this term but more impact when third at Chepstow on handicap debut 7 months ago. Likely to need this, however. Kept on well for third on handicap debut at Chepstow in April; enters calculations. |
|||
6th (2)  (5/4 +17%)Awesome Foursome |
5/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Awesome Foursome 5/4, Latest win in hurdle at Perth in September. 13/8, second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 23 days ago. Stable is in top form and promising conditional takes 5 lb off, so leading claims. Back from break in good form this autumn and will be fine on today's ground. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (17/2 -13%)Gamesters Girl |
17/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gamesters Girl 17/2, Low-mileage mare who was pulled up when last seen in September but returns from a short break with her stable in excellent form. Not ruled out. Placed in modest maiden in August but pulled up when back in a handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Preference is for AWESOME FOURSOME (nap), who took his form to a new level when scoring on heavy ground in September.

15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gamesters Guy 15/2, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Gamesters Icon. Dam fair winner around 2m over hurdles, also winner up to 1½m on Flat. Represents an in-form yard and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. By Black Sam Bellamy out of a fairly useful dual-purpose mare; stable 3-8 in bumpers. |
|||
2nd (6)  (12/1 +64%)Moonset |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moonset 12/1, Made the frame both starts in Irish maiden points late last year. Ought to have a future under Rules but one suspects that he'll come into his own a little further down the line. Beaten around 6l in two Irish points; yard 12% in bumpers; worth monitoring in the market. |
|||
3rd (3)  (14/1 -460%)Jo Arengeot Bey Aa |
14/1(-460%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jo Arengeot Bey Aa 14/1, Fetched £50,000 after winning his sole start between the flags in March, and that form has substance (the runner-up has since won 4 times under Rules). Lots to like and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Point winner in March and runner-up has since won four handicap chases; big player. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/2 +8%)Matthias |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Matthias 11/2, Out of a 1¾m bumper winner/2m hurdle winner who stayed 21f. Yard boasts a decent strike rate in bumpers and he's one to note in the betting. Excellent stable won with this one's dam on debut back in 2013; very interesting newcomer. |
|||
5th (8)  (33/1 +34%)The Grafter |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Grafter 33/1, €9,500 3-y-o, Workforce gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Man At Work, and half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Timeforben. Hooded for this debut, which is a slight concern, and others make more appeal in any case. Brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner; yard 0-7 in bumpers in recent seasons; hooded for debut. |
|||
6th (7)  (5/4 +58%)Pleasington |
5/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pleasington 5/4, €72,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Findthetime. Appealing type on paper and the market should point the way in terms of expectations of this 5-y-o. Stable, pedigree and price tag combine to make him one of the more attractive newcomers. |
|||
7th (4)  (7/2 -3%)Kandor |
7/2(-3%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kandor 7/2, Irish point runner-up offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen for Michael Scudamore during the spring. Stepped up on that when runner-up on debut for new yard at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) last month and he's a strong candidate. Pulled a few lengths clear with winner when second at Hexham; unlikely to be far away. |
|||
8th (1)  (16/1 +60%)Billy Butcher |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Billy Butcher 16/1, £15,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Green Glory, stays 2¾m. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time out winner on paper and will only be of interest if the market vibes are notably upbeat. Appealing pedigree for race of this nature but yard 0-18 in bumpers in last five years. |

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.
