2.75/1(+69%) | (4) Admirality 2.75/1, Fallen plenty in weights but it is now thirty two runs since last win at Thirsk in 2019. Plenty of solid efforts last year at least but he did need his respective reappearance last term. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/1 +38%) Dulla Bhatti |
5/1(+38%) | (5) Dulla Bhatti 5/1, All the better for debut when readily landing a Hamilton novice (6f) in June. Run with credit on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter, albeit carrying head a little awkwardly. Still, he remains low-mileage and may have more in his locker as a 4-y-o. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (0.73/1 +68%) Big Narstie |
0.73/1(+68%) | (1) Big Narstie 0.73/1, AW maiden winner who was back to somewhere near his best eased in class when finishing a close-up sixth in a big-field Doncaster handicap (7f) on return 4 weeks ago. Fancied to come on for that and respected from 2 lb lower. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

12/1(+0%) | (6) Parys Mountain 12/1, 25/1, shaped as if better for the run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 18 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that behind him but he remains 2 lb above last winning mark. |

5/1(-25%) | (5) Dream Composer 5/1, 12/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, soft) 13 days ago, making some late gains from the rear. Handicapper continues to relinquish his grip so not dismissed out of hand. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

2/1(+11%) | (2) Soul Seeker 2/1, Landed back-to-back 5f handicaps at Hamilton/York in July prior to finishing seventh in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last term. As good as ever when runner-up on return at Beverley and he's with a shout once more for in-form yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -17%) Ben Macdui |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Ben Macdui 14/1, Latest win at Newcastle (6f) in March. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

3/1(+40%) | (8) Amasova 3/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Probably found that race coming too soon and remains on a handy mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/1(+10%) | (9) Nacho 9/1, 25/1, third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, slowly away. On a handy mark if he can back up. |

6.5/1(-44%) | (6) Morty 6.5/1, Four wins from 19 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in November. Probably needed run at Pontefract on reappearance. Should strip fitter for that and quicker ground should suit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5/1(+17%) | (4) Drish Hero 5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 11/4, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago. Hood back on. Likely to get back on track following more of a break, so respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1st (4) (2.5/1 +17%) Moonlit Warrior |
2.5/1(+17%) | (4) Moonlit Warrior 2.5/1, Suited by the emphasis on speed when getting the better of Satanic Moon at Chelmsford last time. Up only 3 lb and he can make a bold bid to follow up here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 -71%) Satanic Moon |
3/1(-71%) | (1) Satanic Moon 3/1, Caught further back than ideal when a creditable second on handicap debut at Chelmsford earlier this month. Likely to continue improving and should be suited by the step up in trip, so ranks highly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 +11%) National Charter |
8/1(+11%) | (2) National Charter 8/1, Best effort when fourth at Lingfield on debut and hasn't matched that level since, including on handicap debut last time. Bit to prove now on first turf start. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 +33%) Mostly Cloudy |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Mostly Cloudy 4/1, Caught eye when fourth at Nottingham (10f) last week, never nearer under hands-and-heels ride. Mark looks stiff on his achievements so far, but he remains with potential upped markedly in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -38%) Bukela |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Bukela 22/1, Some promise in the pedigree but was always behind in 3 minor events last season. First run for yard after leaving Stef Keniry. Makes handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (22/1 -57%) Marbuzet |
22/1(-57%) | (10) Marbuzet 22/1, Some promise when fifth in a Nottingham nursery (8f) on his final start at 2 yrs, finishing well after hampered start. Bred to be suited by middle distances, so is interesting over extended trip on return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (14/1 +13%) Notime To Pass |
14/1(+13%) | (5) Notime To Pass 14/1, No impact in minor event/maidens but he's from the family of the smart Wells Farhh Go and looks the type to do better handicapping over longer trips. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (33/1 -32%) Peace Angel |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Peace Angel 33/1, Hasn't landed much of a blow in various events yet, sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 40 days ago. Needs to find more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (80/1 -142%) Carbonado |
80/1(-142%) | (13) Carbonado 80/1, Went in snatches on return at Wolverhampton last time and doesn't make appeal even in this lowly grade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (8/1 +33%) Purple Reign |
8/1(+33%) | (7) Purple Reign 8/1, Looked limited in minor events and failed to improve when eighth behind Moonlit Warrior at Chelmsford on handicap debut. Needs to show significantly more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (66/1 +0%) Lisa's Dream |
66/1(+0%) | (12) Lisa's Dream 66/1, Hasn't looked straightforward when finishing down the field in 6 starts to date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (50/1 -150%) Global Peace |
50/1(-150%) | (8) Global Peace 50/1, Well held in maiden/novice events up to 10f and would be a shock winner over a markedly longer trip on handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (66/1 -100%) Mogilevich |
66/1(-100%) | (9) Mogilevich 66/1, Has only beaten a single rival home across 3 starts in maidens/minor event. Hard to fancy on handicap debut with cheekpieces applied. |

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.
