1st (2) (16/1 -14%) Not A Role Model |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Not A Role Model 16/1, Fairly useful chaser who probably needed the run when only fifth at Ffos Las on return. Tongue tie back on so not totally dismissed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) Buster Thomas |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Buster Thomas 3/1, Fairly useful chaser who has returned from 20-month layoff in excellent form, third of 15 in handicap chase (9/2) at Market Rasen (21.4f) last time. Can make his presence felt again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 -50%) Oleg |
3/1(-50%) | (1) Oleg 3/1, Low-mileage chaser scored twice on Flat this summer and still close up when falling 3 out on return in 20f Perth handicap chase. Remains unexposed over fences so big player for yard among winners. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (25/1 -108%) Cap Du Nord |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Cap Du Nord 25/1, Held his form well last season, scoring at Fakenham over 21f, but is more exposed than most of these so needs to hit the ground running on his comeback after 9 months off. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 +10%) Keep Moving |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Keep Moving 9/1, Landed this contest in 2019 and not disgraced on only second run since after 10 months off when fourth of 7 in handicap chase (18/1) at Exeter (19.2f, good) 30 days ago. In the mix. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (22/1 -38%) Master Burbidge |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Master Burbidge 22/1, Unreliable type who bounced back to form to land 21f handicap chase at Fakenham 10 days ago. Not certain to be in same form now so others appeal more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (4.5/1 +25%) Hey Bud |
4.5/1(+25%) | (7) Hey Bud 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who shaped encouragingly on return on only third start over fences when third in 21f handicap chase at Stratford, finishing strongly under patient ride. Well worth considering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (18/1 +10%) Full Trottle |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Full Trottle 18/1, Prolific winning hunter chaser who made most of good opportunity when scoring at Lingfield in January 2019. Not seen since and changed stables but mark is potentially lenient so worth market check. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (40/1 -60%) Brecon Hill |
40/1(-60%) | (5) Brecon Hill 40/1, Lightly-raced winning hurdler nowadays who returned after wind op with last of 5 in 3m novice chase at Bangor on debut over fences 39 days ago. Lots to prove now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (5.5/1 +35%) Fresno Emery |
5.5/1(+35%) | (10) Fresno Emery 5.5/1, Fair winning hurdler who ran with credit on his chasing bow when third of 7 in 18f handicap chase (8/1) at Kempton 20 days ago. Respected. |

0.04/1(+91%) | (1) Flic Ou Voyou 0.04/1, Fairly useful hurdler who opened his account in this sphere at Chepstow in October and followed up easily at Newton Abbot 2 days later. Capable of defying a double penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (14/1 -17%) Getaway Luv |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Getaway Luv 14/1, Out of a bumper winner and caught the eye with a strong finish when third of 6 in a bumper at Lingfield on debut. Underperformed at Ludlow next time but back fresh from 9 months off for hurdling bow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (25/1 +38%) Salley Gardens |
25/1(+38%) | (5) Salley Gardens 25/1, Yeats gelding who showed a bit of ability when fifth in a bumper at Exeter and is bred to make a hurdler. He'll likely need more time, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (50/1 +67%) Arc Of Bubbles |
50/1(+67%) | (3) Arc Of Bubbles 50/1, Well beaten in 3 bumpers and went the wrong way from hurdling debut when pulled up in a novice at Newbury 8 months ago. Up against it. |

1st (9) (14/1 +30%) The White Mouse |
14/1(+30%) | (9) The White Mouse 14/1, Good-topped mare who won 2 of her 4 starts over hurdles in 2018-19, but hasn’t been seen since, which is obviously a concern for all that she remains unexposed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 +36%) Perfect Myth |
9/1(+36%) | (2) Perfect Myth 9/1, Is really thriving on racing this autumn and defied a double penalty with loads in the tank in 9-runner novice at Huntingdon (19.6f) last week. Carries 6-lb penalty in a much stronger contest now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (20/1 +20%) Hotter Than Hell |
20/1(+20%) | (11) Hotter Than Hell 20/1, Overcame early keenness to make a winning start over hurdles at Worcester in May 2019. Hasn't really kicked on from that, but didn't find things falling ideally for her at Ludlow last month. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (4.5/1 +25%) It's Probably Me |
4.5/1(+25%) | (12) It's Probably Me 4.5/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who needed only to be pushed out to turn the tables with Molly Ollys Wishes from Warwick at Doncaster (19.4f) in February. Opening mark could easily underestimate her. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4.5/1 +31%) Eglantine Du Seuil |
4.5/1(+31%) | (1) Eglantine Du Seuil 4.5/1, Dawn Run winner in 2019. Shaped well when fourth of 22 on Leopardstown handicap debut before respectable effort in Coral Cup. Looks on a fair mark on stable debut (wind op since last seen). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (22/1 -22%) Crossgalesfamegame |
22/1(-22%) | (7) Crossgalesfamegame 22/1, Market Rasen maiden winner whose third at Newbury final outing is worth marking up having raced on the slower ground for much of the way. May have more to offer this season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (18/1 -80%) Molly Ollys Wishes |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Molly Ollys Wishes 18/1, Strong traveller who opened her account in smooth style at Warwick in January. Carlisle reappearance a tad underwhelming but this type of scenario should see her in a better light. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (25/1 -25%) Misty Bloom |
25/1(-25%) | (10) Misty Bloom 25/1, Won this 12 months ago from 4 lb lower but hasn't returned in anything like the same form this time around, shaping as if amiss when pulled up at Warwick 37 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (25/1 +0%) Fleur Irlandaise |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Fleur Irlandaise 25/1, Stepped up on French form when springing big surprise in Kempton handicap and backed it up when third in listed event at same track. Not in same form since, but back against her own sex here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (5/1 +0%) Cill Anna |
5/1(+0%) | (3) Cill Anna 5/1, A shade underwhelming in bumpers but a big improver upped in trip over obstacles, completing a hat-trick in determined fashion in listed novice at Doncaster (3m) final outing. Better still to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (12/1 +14%) Midnightreflection |
12/1(+14%) | (13) Midnightreflection 12/1, Opened her account in effortless fashion at Ludlow (20.6f) in March. Progressed again when third at Warwick (21f) on reappearance but more required in a stronger race here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (5/1 -25%) Sunrise Ruby |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Sunrise Ruby 5/1, Looked as good as ever when landing 21.6f Newton Abbot novice on return. Made the most of another good opportunity at Kempton since, and while this asks for more, she should continue to run well. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (100/1 -52%) Guardia Top |
100/1(-52%) | (14) Guardia Top 100/1, Quickly developed into a fairly useful hurdler last year, winning 3 times. However, has failed to match that level over fences this term and ran poorly back over timber last time. Uphill task. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (28/1 -75%) Oneofthesenights |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Oneofthesenights 28/1, Point winner who won her first 3 starts over hurdles under positive rides. Had winning run ended at Auteuil last time but still ran well to finish second. Opening mark looks on the high side, though. |

1st (3) (2/1 +11%) Ga Law |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Ga Law 2/1, French recruit who has made a very good impression switched to fences this autumn, making all with ease in Fontwell maiden and Exeter handicap. Looks capable of making his mark at this higher level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Hurricane Harvey |
4.5/1(+10%) | (2) Hurricane Harvey 4.5/1, Progressive over hurdles last term and set to do even better over fences judged on his defeat of Emitom in Uttoxeter maiden over this trip on his reappearance 5 weeks ago. Looks sure to improve. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (0.8/1 +0%) Grand Sancy |
0.8/1(+0%) | (1) Grand Sancy 0.8/1, Smart type over hurdles and hasn't taken him too long to reach the same level over fences, winning 19.5f Chepstow listed event in good style 4 weeks ago. In-form yard has very good record in this. |

0.8/1(+12%) | (5) Sceau Royal 0.8/1, Won this in 2016 and back over hurdles with a bang after a wind op when landing the Welsh Champion Hurdle handicap at Ffos Las on return 3 weeks ago. The one to beat if in the same form here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (16/1 +52%) Teqany |
16/1(+52%) | (6) Teqany 16/1, Won Newton Abbot and Bangor handicaps in September. Not disgraced in listed company at Kempton (2m) behind Diego du Charmil recently but even more on his plate now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6.5/1 +7%) Diego Du Charmil |
6.5/1(+7%) | (4) Diego Du Charmil 6.5/1, More known for his chasing exploits but has run good races in a couple of Kempton's feature 2m hurdles the last twice 8 months apart. Connections also have the exciting Solo. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 -9%) Solo |
3.5/1(-9%) | (2) Solo 3.5/1, Very impressive when making first UK start a winning one in the Adonis at Kempton in February, jumping really well. Not so good in the Triumph but has been gelded and will get back on the up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (40/1 +0%) Brandon Castle |
40/1(+0%) | (3) Brandon Castle 40/1, Front-runner who landed back-to-back extended 2m Market Rasen handicap hurdles this summer. Not so good in listed heat there 6 weeks ago though and this is even tougher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (8/1 -14%) Master Debonair |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Master Debonair 8/1, Won twice over 2m at Ascot last season, including a Grade 2, before fading over 19.3f final start. Could do better in second season in this sphere and wouldn't rule out for all he has a bit to find. |

1st (5) (11/1 +0%) El Presente |
11/1(+0%) | (5) El Presente 11/1, Winner of 3 of his 4 starts since wind surgery, producing a career-best when landing a 5-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f). This is more demanding up 5 lb, but he's a player nonetheless. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 +0%) Potterman |
10/1(+0%) | (3) Potterman 10/1, Best effort yet when landing a competitive handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f) in August. Lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Chepstow next time and another bold show anticipated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (12/1 +25%) Kitty's Light |
12/1(+25%) | (15) Kitty's Light 12/1, Much improved since switched to fences, making it 3-4 in this sphere when proving 3¼ lengths too good for Sizing At Midnight at Exeter (24.2f). However, this 9 lb higher mark may prove beyond him. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (5/1 +38%) My Way |
5/1(+38%) | (14) My Way 5/1, Yet to get his head in front over fences, but hasn't done much wrong and warmed up for this by landing a 22f Stratford maiden hurdle last month. Not discounted, for all that more is needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 +25%) Some Chaos |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Some Chaos 12/1, Took record over fences to 4-9 when scoring at Kelso (26.2f) a fortnight ago. 3 lb rise fair enough, but there's still room for improvement in the jumping department and this is tougher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/1 -29%) Present Man |
9/1(-29%) | (1) Present Man 9/1, Bagged this prize in 2017 and 2018, but never looked like bringing up the hat-trick in last year's renewal. However, back on track when scoring at Chepstow on return last month and merits respect. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4/1 +11%) Danny Whizzbang |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Danny Whizzbang 4/1, Unbeaten in 2 starts over hurdles and made a winning chase debut in Newbury Grade 2 last term. Better than bare result at Ascot when last seen in February and since undergone a second wind op. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (66/1 -100%) Supremely Lucky |
66/1(-100%) | (10) Supremely Lucky 66/1, Runner-up all 3 starts over fences last term and warmed up for this return to chasing with a decent reappearance fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter. Still, this assignment demands a clear career-best. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (13) (14/1 +22%) Sizing At Midnight |
14/1(+22%) | (13) Sizing At Midnight 14/1, Winning hurdler who improved when landing handicap chases at Newton Abbot and Ffos Las in recent months. Another solid effort when hitting the crossbar last time and he's not without each-way hope. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (40/1 -100%) Erick Le Rouge |
40/1(-100%) | (7) Erick Le Rouge 40/1, Successful twice over fences last term, including a Kempton handicap in January. However, fair bit to prove following disappointing reappearance effort at Fontwell (reportedly had breathing problem). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (6/1 +25%) Champagne Court |
6/1(+25%) | (6) Champagne Court 6/1, Bright start over fences last season, winner of handicaps at Sandown and Plumpton. However, below par thereafter and reappearance effort over hurdles at Cheltenham wasn't overly encouraging. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (12/1 -33%) Just A Sting |
12/1(-33%) | (11) Just A Sting 12/1, Made up into useful staying chaser last season, fourth in 2019 renewal of this prior to shading tight finish at Kempton in December. Failed to complete both starts since, though, and others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (25/1 -79%) Cobra De Mai |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Cobra De Mai 25/1, Mixed bag last season and well below par both starts this time round. Hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a revival. |

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.
