Showed improved form and unlucky not to finish shade closer when second of 7 in maiden at Chelmsford (6f, 3/1) 15 days ago, forced to switch last ½f and keeping on.

2nd (6) (11/1 -29%) Time Shadow |
11/1(-29%) | (6) Time Shadow 11/1, Cotai Glory filly who left sole 2-y-o effort in her wake when running out a 33/1 winner of a C&D maiden 18 days ago, making all from Cotai West. However, may struggle to concede 5 lb to that rival here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 -50%) Cotai West |
5/1(-50%) | (8) Cotai West 5/1, Encouraging start when third in a Beverley maiden (5f) last summer and improved on that whilst looking unlucky not to push Time Shadow very close over C&D 18 days ago (not clear run over 1f out). Can feature once more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

0.67/1(+55%) | (2) Bear Profit 0.67/1, Useful prospect. Won 9-runner minor event at Chelmsford (5f, 17/2) on debut 4 weeks ago, keeping on well. Looks up to defying a penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

18/1(-13%) | (10) Rawasi Almeydan 18/1, Havana Gold filly who was very easy to back but showed ability when third of 12 in a Yarmouth novice (5f) last June, getting the hang of things late on. Absent since but open to improvement nevertheless moving forward. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

33/1(-136%) | (3) Imperial Khan 33/1, Kodiac colt. Brother to smart winner up to 6f Nomadic Empire. Shaped as if in need of the experience when third in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago and he rates a likely improver with that under his belt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (25/1 -79%) Dorothee |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Dorothee 25/1, Equiano filly who makes loads of appeal on paper and showed ability amidst greenness when third behind Time Shadow in a C&D maiden on debut 18 days ago, weakening final 1f. Open to improvement with that under her belt. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 -32%) Sir Philip |

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.
