Naeva

40
40/1(+20%)
(4) Naeva 40/1, Fair form in France, winning 3 claiming events over hurdles/fences in 2022. Understandably struggled in a Cheltenham Grade 2 on debut for this yard in January 2023 but offered little returning from 17 months off over hurdles at Newton Abbot 34 days ago.

(9) Sweet Street 8/1, Winless since 2021 for Roger McGrath but not disgraced on her yard debut when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Possibilities.

Bolintlea

6
6/1(-20%)
(6) Bolintlea 6/1, Off the track for 7 months since posting a respectable fifth of 15 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft). Resumes after breathing surgery on a handy-looking mark so she's very much one to consider.
Absent since November but can go well when fresh and is on a workable mark.

Lost Connections

100
100/1(-2122%)
(7) Lost Connections 100/1, Landed a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Ludlow last season and set a lot to do when a running-on fourth of 13 over C&D (good) 10 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark.

I Am Gonna Be

66
66/1(-1882%)
(3) I Am Gonna Be 66/1, Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who got back on track when second of 8 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, good) 20 days ago. Needs to back it up.

66/1(-100%)
(12) Joyful Kit 66/1, Remains a maiden after 32 runs and she came in eighth of 10 at Fontwell (25.8f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Reverts to fences from 11 lb out of the handicap and it's easy to look elsewhere.
32-race maiden; third in this race last year but still makes only limited appeal.

Brianna Rose

66
66/1(-843%)
(5) Brianna Rose 66/1, A two-time chase winner last season but she came in only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 33 days ago. Back over fences with visor replacing cheekpieces and a bit to prove.

The Gambler

66
66/1(-230%)
(11) The Gambler 66/1, A fair bumper winner but she has failed to match that form over hurdles and fences, coming in only ninth of 10 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, good) 40 days ago. Others are preferred.

(8) Emily's Choice 100/1, Won her first two starts over hurdles but pulled up next time and only eighth of 10 in handicap on her chasing debut at Bangor (20.3f, good) 40 days ago. Tongue strap goes on now with a bit to prove back in this sphere,
2-3 over hurdles; dropped out rather tamely in home straight on last month's chase debut.

Inigo

4
4/1(+0%)
(7) Inigo 4/1, A fairly useful bumper winner in France. Off 20 months subsequently but promise all 3 starts in maiden hurdles and has shaped well when falling in 2 handicaps, set for second when coming down at the last at Southwell latterly. Worth a look now chasing. Eng. 3.10 Uttoxeter Wednesday.
Fell over hurdles in April/June; won in blinkers over hurdles at Uttoxeter yesterday.

33/1(-50%)
(4) Mix Of Clover 33/1, Hurdles/chase winner who failed to match the form of his hunter chase third at Stratford having rejoined present yard when sixth of 8 in a C&D handicap chase 3 weeks ago. Others appeal more for win purposes here.
Third in a hunter chase in May; well beaten back in a handicap latest; more needed..

Lermoos Legend

3.5
7/2(+56%)
(3) Lermoos Legend 7/2, Won 23f handicap chase here last summer. Low-key efforts over fences during the spring but he did show benefit of a recent spin over hurdles when runner-up in this sphere at Cartmel (17.3f) 18 days ago.
Course winner; beat all bar easy winner latest; should be thereabouts with repeat effort..

Neigh Botha

(6) Neigh Botha 10/3, Winner of sole bumper start in February 2022 and confirmed more positive signs from last winter when making a winning return to action over fences at Southwell (15.8f) in June. Up 8 lb but that may not prove his limit.
Upped 8lb after his easy Stratford win but he's another who should have better to come..

(5) Theonlywayiswessex 4/1, Dual AW Flat winner who opened his account over jumps in 9-runner handicap chase (4/1) at Stratford (17f, good to soft) 30 days ago, going clear. Remains unexposed in this sphere and needs considering up 9 lb.
2m1f winner (good) latest; up 9lb but probably still ahead of the handicapper..

Kauto The King

33
33/1(-450%)
(1) Kauto The King 33/1, Course winner who isn't the most genuine but arrives here having run well when runner-up at Newton Abbot (16.3f) 13 days ago. Lines up here operating 5 lb below last winning mark and not discounted.
Has shown he can be competitive from around this mark recently; likely to be involved..
8
6th (8) Herecomeshogan (66/1 -164%)
Herecomeshogan

66
66/1(-164%)
(8) Herecomeshogan 66/1, Dual hurdles winner who was proving inconsistent over fences over the winter. May of needed the run after 140 days off over hurdles at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in June and refitting of a visor could help reverting back to chasing.
Good effort at Hereford (2m, good) in January but little encouragement since..

7th (2) Cawthorne Banker (100/1 -1438%)
Cawthorne Banker

100
100/1(-1438%)
(2) Cawthorne Banker 100/1, Fairly useful bumper performer who has improved over hurdles since handicapping, doubling his career tally at Fontwell (17.7f) in May. Again ran well when fourth here (2m) 4 weeks ago and he's worth a second look now chasing.
Has potential and it would be no surprise if he goes close on his chasing debut..

(9) Hola Hermosa 14/1, Well backed on debut when offering up little but bit more like it both starts since, fifth at Worcester 16 days ago. Now goes hurdling for very respected yard. Engaged 2.10 Uttoxeter Wednesday.
Both bumper runs this season were encouraging; open to improvement now hurdling..

Seasett

2
2/1(+11%)
(1) Seasett 2/1, Flat winner who has scored twice in handicaps over hurdles in 2024, latterly at Limerick in May. Stuck to his task when third in novice company last month and likely to give it another good go under his penalty in a change of headgear.
Irish raider; penalised for only one of his two hurdle wins; likely contender here.

Mandega

100
100/1(-3233%)
(7) Mandega 100/1, Ran best race over hurdles when third of 8 in a Cartmel novice in May. Ridden too aggressively back on the Flat since so worth treating as if still in form. Major claims.
Fair Flat-racer who has made the frame on all five hurdle starts; each-way claims at least.

Saint Vic

150
150/1(-200%)
(4) Saint Vic 150/1, Well held on Chepstow bumper debut in October. Showed a bit more when fifth in 2m Southwell maiden hurdle 2 months later but never a factor at Fakenham in April and has since left Evan Williams.
Ran okay on hurdle debut but tailed off since; now with new stable after £3,500 sale.
5
5th (5) Dame Sarra (100/1 -4900%)
Dame Sarra

100
100/1(-4900%)
(5) Dame Sarra 100/1, Modest Flat winner who didn't need to improve to make second hurdles start a winning one in 12-runner mares' novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) a month ago, always holding on. Should be competitive under a penalty.
Kept on too strongly for odds-on favourite at Newton Abbot last month; likely contender.
2
6th (2) Conservative (66/1 -371%)
Conservative

66
66/1(-371%)
(2) Conservative 66/1, Modest handicapper on the Flat nowadays (stays 1¼m) and operating below his best in a couple of starts for new yard (following wind surgery) in April. Switch to hurdling needs to have a positive effect now.
Safely held in low-grade Flat handicaps on first two stable starts; hurdle debut today.

Vertical

200

Matchadam

66
66/1(-633%)
(3) Matchadam 66/1, Picked up for £50,000 after getting on top close home in his sole point last November. Tongue tied and showed promise when fourth of 13 in a Hereford bumper on Rules debut in October but last month's hurdles debut was disappointing (20.4f). Back down in trip.
Point winner; close fourth in a bumper last year but tailed off when hurdling last month.
6
9th (6) Katstar (100/1 -150%)
Katstar

100
100/1(-150%)
(6) Katstar 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat at up to 10f. Minor promise on hurdles debut but soon done with over C&D 3 weeks ago and he's probably a handicap project.
Ran well to a point on hurdling debut but has struggled over C&D since.

Evens(+28%)
(1) Jumeirah King Evens, A fairly useful maiden on the Flat who opened his account with a much-improved display in 10-runner maiden hurdle over C&D last month, eased down. Confirmed that improvement back in a handicap when third at Newton Abbot 2 weeks ago and sets a clear standard under a penalty.
Followed last month's C&D win with good third on h'cap debut at Newton Abbot; big player.

(2) Groundbreaker 20/1, Didn't look straightforward on his last 2 starts for Andrew Balding (sold for 20,000 gns in September) but he was useful on the Flat at best so is worthy of huge respect starting out over hurdles for new yard.
Useful Flat-racer over middle-distance trips; interesting recruit to hurdling.

Jacobs Acre

8
8/1(-23%)
(5) Jacobs Acre 8/1, Fair form in bumpers and placed in 2m maidens at Wincanton and over C&D since switching to hurdles. Unexposed now making a quick switch to handicaps but he has pulled hard and will need to settle better in a first-time hood.
Improving 6yo; recent C&D second reads well and he's worth considering on handicap debut..

Midnight Jewel

(6) Midnight Jewel 25/1, Course hurdle winner over 2½m last July and has added 3 chase wins since, the latest at Bangor (2½m) last month. Rare below-par effort when fourth of 5 at Newton Abbot since. Capable of bouncing back from his much lower hurdle mark but shorter trip is a slight worry.

Mary

100

(8) Mary 100/1, Shaped better than in previous handicap outings when seventh of 16 at Cheltenham in April but has twice failed to back that up since. A first-time tongue tie needs to have a positive effect.
Yet to make an impact in handicaps and the new tongue-tie needs to turn things around..

(9) Bahtiyar 66/1, Maiden who can be a bit headstrong for his own good but he hasn't been with this top stable for that long and his recent return from a 257-day break at Newton Abbot wasn't without promise. Enters the reckoning.
Ran well for a long way on last month's reappearance; proving expensive to follow though..

Remains a maiden over hurdles after seven attempts; others make greater appeal..

Progressing since the cheekpieces went on and produced a solid second latest; respected..

Third over C&D on recent handicap debut and he's a key player this evening.

Beaten a long way on last two Flat runs but useful in that code at his best; hurdle debut.

Two-time point winner who could improve for the step up in trip on third rules start.

8th (11) Of Course You Can (66/1 -915%)
Of Course You Can

66
66/1(-915%)
(11) Of Course You Can 66/1, Showed ability in bumpers and improved efforts switched to handicaps in this sphere on last two completed starts, fourth of 12 at Ffos Las (good) recently. In the process of running poorly when fell last at Cartmel 20 days ago but could bounce back if she's none the worse.
Disappointing at Cartmel but running well prior; a case can be made if she's back on song.

100/1(-100%)
(12) Stargazer Belle 100/1, Little in the way of worthwhile form and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
Nine-race maiden who has struggled to get competitive.

10th (10) Echo Of Promise (250/1 -658%)
Echo Of Promise

250
250/1(-658%)
(10) Echo Of Promise 250/1, Modest maiden hurdler at best in France but has shown little in Britain to date and hasn't been seen for 20 months.
Has shown some ability in points this season but may be best watched back under rules.

11th (3) Dirk Gently (66/1 -267%)
Dirk Gently

66
66/1(-267%)
(3) Dirk Gently 66/1, Placed in 3 handicaps last summer. Temperament has long been under suspicion, though, and typically looked hard work when fifth in a handicap chase here last time. Others make more appeal.
Fair fourth over fences last month but improvement needed to get off the mark in this.

Boudica Warrior

150/1(-127%)
(9) Boudica Warrior 150/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat but hasn't replicated that over hurdles as yet and looks set for another struggle.
Remains a maiden after 21 starts (eight over hurdles); would be a surprise winner.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
