1st (1)  (0.53/1 +7%)Wild Max |
0.53/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wild Max 0.53/1, Useful form to win novice chase at Newton Abbot in May. Outpointed in a dash to the line at Ffos Las since but it was still a good effort. This represents an excellent opportunity to quickly resume winning ways. | |||
2nd (2)  (1.5/1 +0%)Ragamuffin |
1.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ragamuffin 1.5/1, In fine form over hurdles last summer, winning back to back events at Uttoxeter/Newton Abbot. Matched his best hurdles form at first attempt when second at Warwick on chase bow and confirmed that promise when going one better at Stratford, albeit aided by the jumping lapses of his 2 main rivals. | |||
3rd (3)  (50/1 +24%)Dun Bay Creek |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dun Bay Creek 50/1, Of little account nowadays and easy to oppose from so far out of the handicap. |

7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lock's Corner 7/1, Successful off a whopping 30 lb higher at this time last year but he's lost the plot since. Hopes pinned on a recent wind op helping to spark a revival. Check betting. | |||

3.2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lord Bryan 3.2/1, Rejuvenated this spring and arrives in search of a hat-trick after twice making all over 3m at Ffos Las. Up another 5 lb but he remains well treated on old form. | |||
2nd (6)  (3.5/1 +36%)Jony Max |
3.5/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jony Max 3.5/1, Won at Wincanton in December and improved further to score at Plumpton last month.

8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Magic 8/1, In excellent form in summer 2020, including a Newton Abbot win. Couple of blunders didn't help when well-held fifth in Aintree Class 2 on belated return 29 days ago. Given a chance by handicapper and no surprise if he revives in this lower grade. | |||
4th (1)  (3/1 +40%)Coral |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Coral 3/1, His 2 wins for yard have come here, including over this trip. Good second over C&D a week ago and record here affords him resepct. | |||

11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Troed Y Melin 11/1, Dual Exeter winner in 2020/21 campaign. Never really got going in 4 outings last season but back to form with a bang when scoring at Warwick (25f) last month. Raised 9 lb but he has won off this mark before. | |||

4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gastara 4/1, Matched his hurdles form when second on 2½m course chase debut in April. Looked menacing when hampered 3 out in 3m Ffos Las chase won by Lord Bryan last month, losing momentum and falling next. Open to improvement. |

12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Densworth 12/1, Kayf Tara gelding who cost a bit but folded tamely on Uttoxeter bumper debut in the autumn. Has had breathing operation/long break since. Also tongue tied, so could do better. | |||

2.5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Justmyimagination 2.5/1, Sixties Icon filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Ocean Jive. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Noteworthy newcomer. | |||

1st (4)  (4/1 +0%)Oslo |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oslo 4/1, Fairly useful on Flat and opened hurdles account at the third attempt in maiden (16.5f) at Market Rasen at the start of last month. Held back by early mistakes when second of 3 on Fakenham handicap debut subsequently. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time in this sphere. | |||
2nd (5)  (3/1 +40%)Kolisi |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kolisi 3/1, Fairly useful on Flat and has improved over hurdles since sent handicapping, readily completing a hat-trick at Exeter in April. Never quite travelled with his usual fluency when below form at Plumpton last time but given a small break since and may get back on the up. | |||
3rd (2)  (3/1 -50%)Master Malachy |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Master Malachy 3/1, Put a disappointing handicap debut behind him after 5 months off with victory in 2m event at Uttoxeter in May. Had the perfect set up and readily followed up from 4 lb higher at Huntingdon. Has to be respected in hat-trick bid despite 9 lb rise. | |||
4th (1)  (4/1 +11%)Glajou |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glajou 4/1, Ex-French hurdler. Mixed record over fences for this yard but potentially on a good mark back in this sphere and could take advantage. | |||
5th (3)  (4/1 +33%)Samos Island |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Samos Island 4/1, Runner-up in a couple of points in May and caused a surprise on first outing since leaving W. J. Burke when landing a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f, good) last week, forging clear. Into handicaps now and should be competitive if reproducing that. |

1st (6)  (2.25/1 -29%)San Giovanni |
2.25/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) San Giovanni 2.25/1, Was in the process of showing improved form when running out after being carried left approaching the second-last at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good). Looked the most likely winner prior to that mishap and he has to enter calculations. | |||
2nd (1)  (1.75/1 +22%)Biowavego |
1.75/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Biowavego 1.75/1, Showed promise in maiden hurdles over shorter trips at Ludlow and Wincanton earlier this year. Moving up in trip here should be right up his street and a bold show is very much on the cards. | |||
3rd (7)  (5/1 -82%)Ike Sport |
5/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ike Sport 5/1, Encouraging start to his career when second in a 13-runner French claiming hurdle (17.4f) on debut in February. Since joined a respected yard and he's one to consider here with improvement on the cards. | |||
4th (5)  (40/1 +60%)Mr Craftsman |
40/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mr Craftsman 40/1, Maiden pointer who was beaten a long way on Rules debut in a Newton Abbot maiden hurdle (21.6f). | |||
5th (2)  (8.5/1 +15%)Imperial Lightning |
8.5/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Lightning 8.5/1, Plenty of appeal pedigree-wise prior to his debut in a 2m bumper here last month, but offered little in the race itself. All things considered, it's reasonable to expect him to leave that form well behind in time. | |||
6th (8)  (20/1 -11%)Prince Cleni |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Prince Cleni 20/1, Out of a French hurdle winner and offered something to work on when fifth in a Ludlow bumper on debut. Should have a future over hurdles, but others make more appeal on this occasion. | |||
7th (3)  (12/1 +82%)Joe Kidd |
12/1(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Joe Kidd 12/1, Poor form in a brace of bumpers for Debra Hamer in 2020. Makes hurdle/stable debut in a first-time hood and can only be watched unless the market suggests otherwise. | |||
8th (9)  (100/1 -52%)Strictlyasoldier |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Strictlyasoldier 100/1, Behind stablemate Prince Cleni when last of 9 on his introduction in a Ludlow bumper. Probably more of a long-term prospect. | |||
9th (4)  (20/1 +80%)Merchant House |
20/1(+80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Merchant House 20/1, Bumper winner in 2019 but well held both starts over hurdles for Stuart Kittow the following year. Absent since and he can only be watched starting out for new yard here. | |||
10th (10)  (150/1 -50%)Take Me Dancing |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Take Me Dancing 150/1, Offered precious little on her recent introduction in a Newton Abbot maiden hurdle, and she looks set for another struggle. |

4.5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) D'Jango 4.5/1, Once-useful chaser in France. Not close to that level for new yard (mainly over hurdles) and he was readily brushed aside at Plumpton last month. | |||
2nd (8)  (1.62/1 +46%)Lindisfarne |
1.62/1(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lindisfarne 1.62/1, Upped in trip and much more like it switched to a handicap when second of 16 here a month ago. Stuck to the task well, suggesting this trip will be within range. | |||
3rd (3)  (18/1 +28%)Monty's Award |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Monty's Award 18/1, Two wins in 2020/21 but lost his way last season and always behind at Fakenham 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces removed on first hurdles start since 2019. | |||
4th (4)  (5.5/1 +69%)Cardboard Gangster |
5.5/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cardboard Gangster 5.5/1, Remains a maiden and he's hard to warm to on the back of a poor effort at Hereford in February. Headgear removed. | |||
|PU| (2)  (4/1 +60%)Bonanza Sam |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bonanza Sam 4/1, Chase winner from 2 lb higher in blinkers during his time with Jennifer Mason. Sound-enough start for this yard following an absence at Plumpton last month and no surprise were he to build on that. | |||
|PU| (5)  (9/1 +36%)Writteninthesand |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Writteninthesand 9/1, Scored over fences at Market Rasen in August but heavy defeats over larger obstacles last 3 starts since and lots to prove back hurdling. | |||
|PU| (9)  (20/1 -11%)Hartland Quay |
20/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hartland Quay 20/1, Pretty exposed and unseated rider over fences before stamina for 25.8f was asked in April. 2 lb out of the weights. | |||
|PU| (6)  (50/1 -178%)Cuchaviva |
50/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cuchaviva 50/1, Lightly raced and limited impact in various company. Handicap debut. |

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.
