1st (7) (4/1 +60%) Moon Hunter |
4/1(+60%) | (7) Moon Hunter 4/1, £15,000 3-y-o, Pether's Moon gelding. Dam (h80), maiden hurdler, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) No Duffer. Comfortably off mark in points at second attempt (Apr 18). One to note on debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5.5/1 -144%) Hitching Jacking |
5.5/1(-144%) | (4) Hitching Jacking 5.5/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and showed plenty of ability but an ungainly side with it when third in a 9-runner course bumper on Rules debut in March. In excellent hands and warrants respect now hurdling. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (25/1 +24%) Macavity |
25/1(+24%) | (13) Macavity 25/1, Won last 2 of 3 starts in points and justified support in the manner of a stayer switched to a bumper at Aintree (17f) in May, drawing clear after leading inside final 1. However, backed out of things a disappointingly long way from home on his recent hurdling/stable debut over C&D. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (1.75/1 +56%) Imperial B G |
1.75/1(+56%) | (5) Imperial B G 1.75/1, Improved when off the mark in bumpers at the third attempt at Carlisle (17f) in March, making all despite hanging left final 1f. Should have more to come now tackling longer trips over jumps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (3.33/1 +58%) Revasser |
3.33/1(+58%) | (9) Revasser 3.33/1, Closely related to useful hurdler/smart chaser Le Reve and made a winning start in a Warwick bumper. Much better effort over hurdles when fourth of 8 in novice (28/1) at Huntingdon (19.6f, heavy) when last seen on Boxing Day. Player if ready to go. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (33/1 +67%) Great Ballinboris |
33/1(+67%) | (3) Great Ballinboris 33/1, Showed ability on only start in bumpers but looked a hard ride on his hurdling debut at Newcastle next time, hanging badly right after fifth and beaten a long way out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (80/1 -60%) Marty Time |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Marty Time 80/1, Some promise in bumpers for Tom Lacey but was sold for only £5,000 after latest start. Step up in trip in his favour now hurdling but others more persuasive all the same. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (20/1 -67%) Viking's Way |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Viking's Way 20/1, Runner-up on his final outing in points but failed to meet expectations switched to Rules having been all the rage in the betting at Fontwell (19.2f) 24 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (125/1 -25%) Out For The Count |
125/1(-25%) | (14) Out For The Count 125/1, Soundly beaten in 2 Irish bumpers for Philip Fenton. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (33/1 +50%) How Much |
33/1(+50%) | (11) How Much 33/1, Ask gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Fact of The Matter, and half-brother to 2 winners, including useful chaser Manofthemountain. Makes some appeal on paper and worth a precautionary market check. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (150/1 -127%) Is So Cute Dimaria |
150/1(-127%) | (12) Is So Cute Dimaria 150/1, Fly With Me gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat/over hurdles in France. Best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (250/1 -100%) Telegram Bob |
250/1(-100%) | (15) Telegram Bob 250/1, Well held on his sole outing in bumpers in April and pulled up over C&D on hurdling debut 7 months later. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (125/1 -89%) Dogem By Design |
125/1(-89%) | (2) Dogem By Design 125/1, Made frame completed start in Irish points but well held both starts over hurdles. Upped in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 -13%) Concetto |
9/1(-13%) | (1) Concetto 9/1, €30,000 3-y-o, £40,000 5-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to 19f chase winner in France Fils Prodige. Yard going well and worth a look in the betting. |

1st (5) (6/1 -80%) Notlongtillmay |
6/1(-80%) | (5) Notlongtillmay 6/1, Responded well to the first-time hood when opening hurdles account in Fontwell novice (17.7f, good to soft) for Chris Gordon on final start of last season. That form is decent (the second has won twice since) but more is needed now switched to fences for new yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1.62/1 +64%) Moriko De Vassy |
1.62/1(+64%) | (4) Moriko De Vassy 1.62/1, Successful sole bumper start and on his first 2 completed starts over hurdles. Ran no so sort of a race in a Kempton Grade 2 when last seen in February but pitched into calmer waters for this chase/handicap debut and he'll be a threat if his jumping passes the test. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 -20%) Zacony Rebel |
3/1(-20%) | (2) Zacony Rebel 3/1, Dual hurdles winner last season and landed a small-field novice handicap at Fontwell (17.8f, good) on last month's return/chase debut. Now 5 lb higher in a stronger contest but it's likely that he has more to offer over fences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (14/1 -75%) Nero Rock |
14/1(-75%) | (1) Nero Rock 14/1, Took a while to get off the mark over fences but it all clicked during the spring with back-to-back Sedgefield wins in May. However, limitations seemingly exposed since and he looks vulnerable conceding weight all round here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (3/1 -20%) Minella Plus |
3/1(-20%) | (3) Minella Plus 3/1, Won three on the bounce over hurdles last winter and has taken to well to this sphere, landing handicap chases at Hexham and Ludlow (both at around 2m) the last twice. High on the list with the possibility of better to come. |

1st (8) (2.25/1 +59%) Iroko |
2.25/1(+59%) | (8) Iroko 2.25/1, Promise in a bumper/hurdle in France and hit the frame in Graded juvenile hurdles for this stable last winter. Reappears with his yard among the winners and he's an interesting one for handicaps, all the more so if the betting vibes are strong. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (22/1 -57%) Foster'sisland |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Foster'sisland 22/1, Firmly on the up when racking up a hat-trick in November/December. Ended his campaign with 2 creditable placed efforts (C&D first occasion) and ought to be competitive if ready to roll after 7 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8.5/1 +15%) Hardy Du Seuil |
8.5/1(+15%) | (5) Hardy Du Seuil 8.5/1, Hurdles winner in France who took well to chasing over here last season, winning twice and runner-up on 3 other occasions. Well held back hurdling on his reappearance but he may strip fitter now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 -9%) Onagatheringstorm |
6/1(-9%) | (3) Onagatheringstorm 6/1, Made an encouraging seasonal return after wind surgery when third of 13 in 2½m Cheltenham handicap 3 weeks ago. May come on for the outing and needs considering under Brian Hughes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (18/1 -50%) Thereisnodoubt |
18/1(-50%) | (7) Thereisnodoubt 18/1, Went close over C&D off this mark on his first run for this yard back in February. Better than the result on his final 2 outings and contender if fully primed for his reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (8.5/1 +39%) Captain Zebo |
8.5/1(+39%) | (1) Captain Zebo 8.5/1, Very useful handicapper who has gained four of his 5 hurdle victories for this yard at Carlisle. Not disgraced in 2 outings over the summer and has been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper (dropped 4 lb for last time). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 -230%) Sheriff Garrett |
33/1(-230%) | (10) Sheriff Garrett 33/1, Showed what he can do when on-song with a thoroughly decisive all-the-way success at Sedgefield (2½m, soft) in March. Well beaten on next 3 starts but he did take a step back in the right direction after a break when fourth of 8 over C&D a fortnight ago. Nicely treated if he can build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8.5/1 -70%) Haafapiece |
8.5/1(-70%) | (2) Haafapiece 8.5/1, Notched a pair of C&D wins last season. Not close to his best when well-held fifth of 7 on his Market Rasen reappearance 4 weeks ago but he might strip fitter for the run and is 2 lb below his last successful mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (4.5/1 +31%) Rafferty's Return |
4.5/1(+31%) | (4) Rafferty's Return 4.5/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles, including over this C&D in February. Disappointing when beaten at short odds in a small field at Newcastle on his handicap debut in March but he returns as an unexposed sort. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (25/1 -25%) The Player Queen |
25/1(-25%) | (12) The Player Queen 25/1, Point/bumper winner who built on earlier promise when doubling hurdles tally in 5-runner novice at Musselburgh in February. Well held in mares' final at Newbury when last seen in April. Has a decent record fresh and is still relatively unexposed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (22/1 -120%) Dancewiththewind |
22/1(-120%) | (9) Dancewiththewind 22/1, On the up when winning a pair of 2m handicaps in autumn 2020 but hasn't been seen since. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations given the length of the absence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (25/1 -108%) Kadex |
25/1(-108%) | (11) Kadex 25/1, Won twice from 4 starts over hurdles in France last season but shaped as if amiss when pulled up on return/yard debut at Worcester (2½m) 16 days ago. Tongue tie back on now and this ought to reveal more. |

1st (3) (3.5/1 +36%) Karl Philippe |
3.5/1(+36%) | (3) Karl Philippe 3.5/1, Dual scorer at Ludlow who signed off for last term with good second of four there despite some poor jumping. Weighted to go well on his reappearance for in-form yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 +21%) Zanza |
11/1(+21%) | (4) Zanza 11/1, Ran poorly after 6 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) 28 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time back chasing and it's now eleven runs since last win in 2020. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/1 -14%) The King Of May |
16/1(-14%) | (7) The King Of May 16/1, Largely consistent last term when a two-time winner around 2m4f at Sedgefield and Newcastle. Can give another good account on his seasonal return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5.5/1 -22%) Xcitations |
5.5/1(-22%) | (5) Xcitations 5.5/1, Has made a very positive start over fences and ended last season with back-to-back 2m wins at Doncaster and Leicester. Proven over this longer trip and very much one to consider for yard among the winners. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 -75%) Small Present |
14/1(-75%) | (6) Small Present 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 25f over hurdles who shaped encouragingly when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (24.5f) 30 days ago. Needs considering with that run under his belt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 -50%) Yes Indeed |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Yes Indeed 18/1, Failed badly to build on the promise of his Newbury second when only third of 4 in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f) in March. Worth another chance on his seasonal return. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (22/1 +33%) The Vollan |
22/1(+33%) | (8) The Vollan 22/1, In fine fettle back over fences in recent months, scoring four times, until beating only one at Fakenham last month. Cheekpieces replace usual visor and he's the sort to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (9/1 +0%) Batman For Ever |
9/1(+0%) | (9) Batman For Ever 9/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser at up to 2m4f in France. Resumes after 12 months off but he can't be discounted for new yard. Worth a market check. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (7/1 -8%) Defi Sacre |
7/1(-8%) | (10) Defi Sacre 7/1, Winless since early 2021, and below-form fourth in handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Others are preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Soldier Of Destiny |
2.75/1(+21%) | (1) Soldier Of Destiny 2.75/1, Dual 2m4f chase winner who shaped encouragingly when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f) 20 days ago, not enjoying clear run after 3 out. Ought to be in the shake-up. |

1st (4) (8.5/1 -113%) Throne Hall |
8.5/1(-113%) | (4) Throne Hall 8.5/1, Useful on the Flat and off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere in novice at Uttoxeter a couple of months ago. Shrewd stable can get more out of him, and he's worthy of consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1.38/1 +54%) Matata |
1.38/1(+54%) | (3) Matata 1.38/1, Half-brother to 5 winners, successful on his only point outing, and maintained his unbeaten record in ready fashion at Fakenham last month. Should take a hand. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (1.62/1 +35%) Fruit N Nut |
1.62/1(+35%) | (1) Fruit N Nut 1.62/1, Dual soft-ground bumper winner at the start of 2021 and made an impressive transition to hurdling when scoring at Bangor 13 months ago. Not seen since but has plenty of potential nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (33/1 -843%) Kracka Nut |
33/1(-843%) | (2) Kracka Nut 33/1, Looked well-above average when quickening up smartly to make a winning start at Catterick in December and was back on track when making a successful hurdling debut at Market Rasen recently. Open to improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Ontherouge |
4.5/1(+18%) | (5) Ontherouge 4.5/1, Bumper winner who might have beaten Kracka Nut on hurdling debut had it not been for a bad mistake 3 out at Market Rasen. Getting weight all round and should make his presence felt. |

1st (4) (3.33/1 +39%) Homme Public |
3.33/1(+39%) | (4) Homme Public 3.33/1, Suited by the return to better ground when scoring cosily at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in March. Still not fully exposed and his stable has been among the winners. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 +0%) Too Friendly |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Too Friendly 4/1, Flat winner for George Scott and landed 2 juvenile hurdles last autumn. Also a good fifth in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival in March and he made a respectable return to action at Chepstow. Much respected for a top yard which does so well here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (2.75/1 +50%) Risk D'Argent |
2.75/1(+50%) | (9) Risk D'Argent 2.75/1, Easy winner of a 2m Uttoxeter maiden in the mud in December. Creditable placed efforts in novices subsequently (including C&D) and he's capable of being competitive off this opening handicap mark if ready to roll after 8 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 -60%) Oakley |
16/1(-60%) | (3) Oakley 16/1, Back on the scoresheet at Stratford (2m, soft) in March. Ran no more than respectably at Haydock on final start and remains 4 lb above that winning mark for reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 -100%) Fransham |
5/1(-100%) | (1) Fransham 5/1, Four-time C&D winner and went close to another on reappearance, going down by only a neck. Left on the same mark and another bold showing looks likely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 +18%) Palm Beach |
33/1(+18%) | (7) Palm Beach 33/1, Flat/hurdles winner in Ireland who made a successful start for new yard in 3-runner Haxham novice in March. Good second at Carlisle the following month but comfortably held in 2 handicaps since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/1 -6%) Issam |
9/1(-6%) | (6) Issam 9/1, Fairly useful 2-time hurdle winner in France. Interesting to see how much strength there is in the betting behind this one on his first outing for a new stable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (12/1 -33%) Gaelik Coast |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Gaelik Coast 12/1, Useful winning chaser and in good form back hurdling lately, winning at Worcester in June and creditable third at Market Rasen (20.5f) 4 weeks ago. Back down in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (33/1 -65%) Contre Ordre |
33/1(-65%) | (8) Contre Ordre 33/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France. Picked up by new connections after finishing fourth in an Auteuil maiden chase in September. Betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. |

1st (5) (28/1 +15%) Grange Ranger |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Grange Ranger 28/1, Opened chase account over 21.3f here in February 2021 but resumes from a 10-month absence with a fair bit to prove given the inauspiciousness of his 3 appearances last season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 -29%) Light Flicker |
11/1(-29%) | (4) Light Flicker 11/1, Enjoyed a productive campaign last season, winning 3 handicap chases at up to 26.9f. Stepped up on low-key hurdles reappearances back in this with cheekpieces refitted at Cheltenham (25f, good to soft) and not without each-way claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (1.1/1 -33%) Big Changes |
1.1/1(-33%) | (7) Big Changes 1.1/1, Made second chase start a winning one in impressive fashion at Sedgefield last month. Penalty wasn't enough to prevent him following up at Ayr (3m, good to soft) 8 days later and this 5-y-o is likely to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6/1 +63%) Kaphumor |
6/1(+63%) | (9) Kaphumor 6/1, Bolted up on debut for this yard in a Hexham handicap chase last November. Runner-up on both subsequent completed starts but there is certainly room for improvement in the jumping department. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7.5/1 +0%) Huntsmans Jog |
7.5/1(+0%) | (2) Huntsmans Jog 7.5/1, Winning hurdler who was placed several times over fences off higher marks last term. However, hard to draw any positives from his Cheltenham reappearance effort and chance largely depends on whether the new headgear (sports first-time blinkers in place of the usual visor) has the desired effect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -233%) Sigurd |
40/1(-233%) | (8) Sigurd 40/1, Three of his 5 victories in this sphere have been gained here, including over C&D (soft) when last seen in March. 8 lb rise does not look insurmountable but record when fresh isn't great and, moreover, his hit-and-miss profile tempers enthusiasm. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (3/1 +57%) The Macon Lugnatic |
3/1(+57%) | (3) The Macon Lugnatic 3/1, Multiple hurdles winner who posted his best effort over fences to date when third in a 7-runner Doncaster handicap in January. Wasn't disgraced returned to this sphere back from 6 months off at Chepstow (26.2f, good) recently and possibilites off 3 lb lower here granted a clean round of jumping. |

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.
