1 3rd (1) (3.6/1 -3%) Boulivar	3.6 3.6/1(-3%)	(1) Boulivar 3.6/1, C&D winner on debut in February but did too much too soon when fifth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 15/8) 33 days ago. Still ranks high on the shortlist.
2 4th (2) (5.5/1 +0%) Bondi Man	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(2) Bondi Man 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fourth of 9 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good, 9/2) latest start. Off 6 months. Needs to improve on tapeta debut.

13:50 Ascot Handicap (Class 3) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (6/1 +14%) Repertoire	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Repertoire 6/1, Solid display when third in this race 12 months ago (doing best of those held up) but ended the year out of sorts, failing to beat a rival on 3 of his last 4 starts. Is operating from career-low mark if a break perks him up.
4 2nd (4) (7/1 -17%) Mostawaa	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Mostawaa 7/1, Winner at Kempton (1m) last winter who posted mixed bag on turf/AW last term. Hasn't been operating at his best in couple of starts so far this year but he was second from 7 lb higher in this 12 months ago. Dangerous to discount if getting his own way in front.
5 3rd (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Enough Already	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(5) Enough Already 5.5/1, Back-to-back winner of 1m handicaps on turf early last year for Lee Carter. Yard debut effort excused and quickly back to best when second at Kempton (1m) 3 weeks ago, coming from further back than the pair he split. Not ruled out.
8 4th (8) (5/1 +17%) Mark Of Respect	5 5/1(+17%)	(8) Mark Of Respect 5/1, Showed improved form when defying a 5 lb lower mark at Newmarket (1m) in June and consistency hard to knock subsequently, finding only one too good on return at Windsor (1m) 23 days ago. Should continue in form.
7 5th (7) (3.5/1 +36%) Hathlool	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(7) Hathlool 3.5/1, Bagged third victory for Mick Appleby when dead-heating at Newcastle (10f) and he arrives having run well despite proving a bit too keen when third at Doncaster (10.2f) on Saturday. Remains of interest dropping back to 1m.
1 6th (1) (10/1 -122%) Good Birthday	10 10/1(-122%)	(1) Good Birthday 10/1, Landed Zetland Gold Cup last May and took another good pot at Doncaster (10.2f) in July. Ended campaign with a solid third in a class 2 York handicap (10.2f) in October and not discounted on return with promising apprentice taking off valuable 7 lb.
2 7th (2) (4.5/1 -64%) Tahitian Prince	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(2) Tahitian Prince 4.5/1, Enjoyed a very productive 2021, bagging fourth victory at Kempton (1m) in September and likely he'd have gone very close again but for being held up in his run over C&D final start. Worth a look on return despite career-high mark.
9 8th (9) (50/1 -150%) History Writer	50 50/1(-150%)	(9) History Writer 50/1, Not disgraced when eighth in last season's Victoria Cup but ended time with David Menuisier out of sorts and not threatened in trio of starts on AW for present yard. Can only be watched back on turf.
3 9th (3) (33/1 -32%) Lyndon B	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Lyndon B 33/1, Back to winning ways over this trip at Sandown in July and confirmed himself back in top form when second at Goodwood (9f) in September, no extra only late on. This run may just be needed, however.

14:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (1/1 +56%) King Of Tonga	1 1/1(+56%)	(3) King Of Tonga 1/1, First run since leaving David O'Meara when 25/1 winner over C&D 16 days ago. Not in quite the same form when only fifth at Wetherby on Sunday but dangerous to discount back here.
6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +31%) High Security	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(6) High Security 4.5/1, All the better for reappearance when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Remains 3 lb higher than for Redcar win last backend.
1 3rd (1) (8/1 -140%) Dapper Man	8 8/1(-140%)	(1) Dapper Man 8/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Might have needed run when 3¼ lengths sixth of 14 to King of Tonga in C&D handicap on reappearance 16 days ago. Bold show likely.
2 4th (2) (16/1 -113%) Lost My Sock	16 16/1(-113%)	(2) Lost My Sock 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, always behind after slowish start on 5f Musselburgh return 11 days ago. Is fairly handicapped if bouncing back to form, though.
5 5th (5) (6/1 -50%) Red Walls	6 6/1(-50%)	(5) Red Walls 6/1, Third AW win since November when shading a tight finish at Wolverhampton (5f) 15 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb so another bold show likely if as effective back on turf.
4 6th (4) (12/1 -118%) Birkenhead	12 12/1(-118%)	(4) Birkenhead 12/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October (final start for Les Eyre). Ran well behind an improver at Southwell last month but not in anything like the same form when down the field in the handicap won by King of Tonga here 16 days ago. Bounce back needed.

1 3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Rozalia	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Rozalia 4/1, Fair form when last seen in 2020. Looked in need of stiffer test when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) on latest outing. Returns from 18-month absence.

2 4th (2) (18/1 +0%) Sandy Paradise	18 18/1(+0%)	(2) Sandy Paradise 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, may have needed run when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 12 days ago. Mark still looks stiff and others are more persuasive.
7 5th (7) (7/1 +42%) Whitcliffe	7 7/1(+42%)	(7) Whitcliffe 7/1, Fair form in a pair of maidens last summer but has failed to mcatch that level since, including when eighth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft, 17/2) 23 days ago.
3 6th (3) (11/1 +8%) Young Winston	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Young Winston 11/1, Winner at Ripon in September but hasn't shown that form in a pair of starts for this yard, merely passing beaten rivals when seventh of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft, 20/1) 23 days ago.

6 1st (6) (3/1 +14%) Grande Dame	3 3/1(+14%)	(6) Grande Dame 3/1, 105,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Blyton. Dam, unraced, closely related to smart winner up to 1m Tell. One of 2 for the Gosden team and market check advised.
2 2nd (2) (3/1 -9%) Mukaddamah	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Mukaddamah 3/1, New Approach filly who overcame unfavourable circumstances to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton in January, staying on to lead final 100 yds after a very slow start. In excellent hands, she's open to significant improvement.
1 3rd (1) (8/1 -100%) Kings Joy	8 8/1(-100%)	(1) Kings Joy 8/1, Overcame a couple with an experience edge to make a winning start on the all-weather at Lingfield in December, knuckling down well to lead final 1f. One of 2 for the Gosden team and she's sure to progress.

Dam, 1m winner, closely related to smart 7f winner Pearls Galore. Hood a slight concern but she's one to take seriously for red-hot connections on debut.
4 5th (4) (8/1 +60%) Star From Afarhh	8 8/1(+60%)	(4) Star From Afarhh 8/1, Farhh filly who won in workmanlike fashion on debut at Newmarket (7f). Unable to justify second favouritism when last in Solario Stakes next start and not up to the task when last of 4 in a similar race to this on her final 2021 start. Others appeal more.
3 6th (3) (5/1 +0%) Queenlet	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Queenlet 5/1, Inexperience evident when ninth in a Newmarket maiden in October but much more clued up just 15 days later when landing minor event at Newbury (8f, heavy). Half-sister to one who was useful and she's likely to develop along similar lines.

Dam ran once. Represents top 2-y-o yard and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 +46%) Full Authority	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(2) Full Authority 3.5/1, Struggled in a handful of runs for Richard Fahey in Class 2 handicaps over 6f/7f last year. However, has acquitted himself well both starts for new yard this season and possibilities back down in grade/trip here.
11 3rd (11) (12/1 -60%) Pettochside	12 12/1(-60%)	(11) Pettochside 12/1, Veteran who landed this race off a 3 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Positive start to this season when third at Epsom eight days ago and a reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.
8 4th (8) (16/1 -60%) Phoenix Star	16 16/1(-60%)	(8) Phoenix Star 16/1, Hit the target twice over 5f last term and put in a good shift back from a break when finding just one too strong at Newcastle last month. Bold show anticipated here off an unchanged mark.
4 5th (4) (11/1 +45%) Mohareb	11 11/1(+45%)	(4) Mohareb 11/1, Five-time winner on the AW, the latest off an 8 lb higher mark at Southwell in January. Below par on his last two starts, though, and he has a fair bit to prove now returned to turf.
6 6th (6) (22/1 +0%) Seneca Chief	22 22/1(+0%)	(6) Seneca Chief 22/1, Paid his way in 2021, narrowly landing a Salisbury handicap in August and struck again at Sandown the following month. However, lacks a recent run and, in any case, he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now.
3 7th (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Yazaman	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(3) Yazaman 5.5/1, Winless following 2-y-o debut success back in 2020 and while his efforts in handicaps at Kempton and Newmarket this year have been creditable, he's not the most reliable of types. One of three representing Robert Cowell.
9 8th (9) (10/1 -25%) Araifjan	10 10/1(-25%)	(9) Araifjan 10/1, Opened turf account at Yarmouth in September and also scored twice at Chelmsford in 2021. Recent reappearance third at Wolverhampton (6f) was encouraging and he's not without hope here.
10 9th (10) (14/1 +22%) Han Solo Berger	14 14/1(+22%)	(10) Han Solo Berger 14/1, Multiple winner earlier in career, but drew a blank last year and resumed with a low-key effort on recent debut for new yard at Newmarket.

1 11th (1) (16/1 -129%) Mulzim	16 16/1(-129%)	(1) Mulzim 16/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to register a seventh win at Southwell (5f) in February. Yet to strike on turf, but went close off 7 lb higher at York last spring and he's a must for the shortlist.

3 10th (3) (2.75/1 +21%) Otto Oyl	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(3) Otto Oyl 2.75/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who came good in 1m Southwell handicap on his reappearance 6 weeks ago. Could have more to offer so a 2 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.
9 11th (9) (14/1 -65%) Iron Sheriff	14 14/1(-65%)	(9) Iron Sheriff 14/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 33/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 40 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on.
14 12th (14) (200/1 -100%) Outofthegloom	200 200/1(-100%)	(14) Outofthegloom 200/1, Runner-up on AW Flat at Southwell last spring but has shown little since, including over hurdles this spring.
13 13th (13) (50/1 -43%) Kodimoor	50 50/1(-43%)	(13) Kodimoor 50/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1) when last seen in December. Does at least return with his yard in form. Visor off, cheekpieces back on.

3 2nd (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Fat Gladiator	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(3) Fat Gladiator 2.75/1, Promising individual. 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago, driven out. Excellent claims of following up if he takes to the track.
7 3rd (7) (3/1 +33%) Naughty Nadine	3 3/1(+33%)	(7) Naughty Nadine 3/1, Good second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Catterick (7f, good) 7 days ago. Consistent so far this year, so likely to be on the premises again.

5 5th (5) (12/1 -118%) Bascinet	12 12/1(-118%)	(5) Bascinet 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in maiden (10/1) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on 1st time. With a shrewd stable and bred to better, so he's a notable handicap debutant.
1 6th (1) (18/1 -50%) Silver Kitten	18 18/1(-50%)	(1) Silver Kitten 18/1, 4/1, last of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f), folding tamely. Off 172 days. Hard to make a solid case for on reappearance.

Cheekpieces again the headgear of choice and no forlorn hope.
1 2nd (1) (2/1 +0%) Mackenzie Rose	2 2/1(+0%)	(1) Mackenzie Rose 2/1, Lightly-raced filly who ran well when placed in pair of nurseries at around 7f during second half of last season. May have needed Chelmsford return 12 days ago and improved showing not ruled out back on turf.
5 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Mister Falsetto	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(5) Mister Falsetto 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran well in a couple of AW contests at 1m prior to seeming unsuited by soft ground at Redcar (10f, soft) 23 days ago, losing place 3f out and soon beaten. Type to bounce back.
6 4th (6) (20/1 -43%) Marilla	20 20/1(-43%)	(6) Marilla 20/1, Sent off big prices when well held in maiden/novice events on AW/turf in recent weeks. Needs to step up plenty for the quick switch to handicaps.

Gelded ahead of return/handicap debut and improvement distinctly possible.

2 1st (2) (1.2/1 +31%) Allaho	1.2 1.2/1(+31%)	(2) Allaho 1.2/1, Outstanding around 2½m, winning the last 2 renewals of the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival by a combined total of 26 lengths. This front-runner will be very tough to beat if anywhere near as effective back up at 3m.
3 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Clan Des Obeaux	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(3) Clan Des Obeaux 5.5/1, Landed Aintree and Punchestown Grade 1 double last spring (beat Al Boum Photo in this) and looking to repeat the feat having reacted positively to first-time blinkers (retained) to fend off Conflated at Aintree 3 weeks ago. Likely to go well again.
1 3rd (1) (20/1 -11%) Al Boum Photo	20 20/1(-11%)	(1) Al Boum Photo 20/1, Won Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2019 and 2020 but latest sixth to A Plus Tard in this year's renewal of that race is perhaps a sign that age is catching up with him. Suspicion he'll be vulnerable again.
7 4th (7) (40/1 -60%) Kemboy	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Kemboy 40/1, Provided Ruby Walsh with a winner on his final ride when edging out Al Boum Photo in this in 2019. Also landed an Irish Gold Cup last season but he's consistently come up short at the top level this term, 9 lengths third to Clan des Obeaux at Aintree latest. Cheekpieces will need to help.
4 5th (4) (7/1 +42%) Fakir D'oudairies	7 7/1(+42%)	(4) Fakir D'oudairies 7/1, Arrives on a Grade 1 hat-trick after wins in Ascot Chase and Melling Chase at Aintree, looking better than ever when quickening 5½ lengths clear of Hitman in latter. A bigger worry than the step back up to 3m is that Allaho has been way too strong for him when they've clashed previously.
5 6th (5) (5/1 +9%) Galvin	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Galvin 5/1, Improved again to collar A Plus Tard on the line in Savills at Leopardstown in December but he was no match for that same rival when fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup since, just lacking a change of gear when it mattered. Similar scenario a possibility here.
9 7th (9) (20/1 -25%) Tornado Flyer	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Tornado Flyer 20/1, Ran the race of his life when proving 9 lengths too strong for Clan des Obeaux in King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. Ran no sort of race in Cheltenham Gold Cup on sole start since, though.
8 \|PU\| (8) (9/1 -64%) Minella Indo	9 9/1(-64%)	(8) Minella Indo 9/1, 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner who added to his very good record at the Festival when chasing home stablemate A Plus Tard in this year's renewal of that race. Scored at this meeting in his novice hurdle days. Tongue tied first time. Respected.
6 \|PU\| (6) (25/1 -25%) Janidil	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Janidil 25/1, Top-class chaser, although firmly put in his place by stablemate Allaho at Cheltenham last month. Fell heavily when odds-on for a Fairyhouse Grade 2 since. Back up in trip.

No match for Fakir D'oudairies next start and probably best not judged too harshly on his effort in the Topham at Aintree.
4 2nd (4) (14/1 +13%) Discordantly	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Discordantly 14/1, Jumped much better with cheekpieces fitted when resuming winning ways in 21f Leopardstown handicap. Pulled up in Ultima Handicap at Cheltenham next time and brought down in the Topham at Aintree since. Needs to keep the errors at bay.
11 3rd (11) (16/1 -14%) Snugsborough Hall	16 16/1(-14%)	(11) Snugsborough Hall 16/1, Course winner. 33/1, below form fifteenth of 29 in Topham handicap chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
10 4th (10) (6/1 +8%) Egality Mans	6 6/1(+8%)	(10) Egality Mans 6/1, Useful chaser who readily justified cramped odds to open chase account in a Wexford maiden (25.5f) in March. Noted finishing with running left when third in a Limerick Grade 3 since and this low-mileage 8-y-o is worth a look now handicapping in this sphere.
3 5th (3) (1.88/1 +32%) Ciel De Neige	1.88 1.88/1(+32%)	(3) Ciel De Neige 1.88/1, Creditable nose second of 5 to French Dynamite in Gr 3 chase at Thurles (18f, good to soft, 4/11) 39 days ago, collared on the line. Remains low-mileage over fences and he may yet have more to offer. Player.
13 6th (13) (66/1 -136%) R'evelyn Pleasure	66 66/1(-136%)	(13) R'evelyn Pleasure 66/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford (20f) in April. 9/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Clearly in good heart at present but this understandably more demanding.
7 7th (7) (14/1 -17%) Cavalry Master	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Cavalry Master 14/1, Three wins from 5 runs last season. 28/1, below form eighth of 28 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.2f, soft) in December, ridden before 2f out and weakening. Returns with yard going along nicely and good showing anticipated with cheekpieces/tongue tie added.
6 8th (6) (18/1 -29%) Rebel Gold	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Rebel Gold 18/1, Respectable third of 10 in handicap chase at Gowran (18f, heavy, 3/1) 46 days ago, headed when mistake last. Still, he rates a live each-way player once more.
2 9th (2) (10/1 +17%) Annamix	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Annamix 10/1, Losing run stretches back to November 2020 but he does at least arrive having dispelled a trio of lesser efforts when third in the Topham at Aintree 3 weeks ago. His task now is to back that up here.
9 10th (9) (50/1 -79%) The West's Awake	50 50/1(-79%)	(9) The West's Awake 50/1, Course winner. 8/1, 14¼ lengths sixth of 8 to R'evelyn Pleasure in handicap chase at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 26 days ago. That should have put him spot on ahead of this and usual blinkers go back on. Each-way claims.
8 \|PU\| (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Foxy Jacks	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(8) Foxy Jacks 6.5/1, Landed this race 12 months ago and easily best effort since when runner-up at Leopardstown (21.3f) in February. However, jumping has let him down in similarly competitive events since which is a cause for concern here.
12 \|PU\| (12) (8.5/1 -6%) Fancy Foundations	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(12) Fancy Foundations 8.5/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season. 14/1, better than bare result when 22¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Lifetime Ambition in Gr 3 chase at Limerick (24.6f, good to soft) 31 days ago, absence/error taking their toll late on. Likely has a bigger effort in his locker now handicapping.
5 \|PU\| (5) (33/1 -175%) Aramax	33 33/1(-175%)	(5) Aramax 33/1, Former Fred Winter winner and a course winner but ran poorly in Munster National at Limerick in October. Unseated in Irish National 9 days ago but this drop in trip won't inconvenience him in any case.

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.
