There were 34 Races on Wednesday 2nd April 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 7 races at Musselburgh, 6 races at Ludlow, 6 races at Exeter, 7 races at Gowran Park, 8 races at Southwell, no doubt Tomform helped you find a winner.
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
Class & Speed Card

Trojan Sun won over 2m2f here last summer and is only 2lb higher. He can feature again if fully primed for his reappearance, but SPARTAN WARRIOR is fit from hurdling. The son of Saxon Warrior returns to the level, having landed a double over middle distances at Beverley last term, with this extra test of stamina promising to bring further improvement. Pigeon House has struck over timber since he was last seen in this code and Simon Walker's presence is a positive.

Consistent veteran GLASSES UP is taken to exploit a career-low mark on his seasonal debut.
Class & Speed Card

The betting will likely offer some clues to the chances of these newcomers, but Hugo Palmer boasts a good strike-rate at this venue and ARDISIA may prove good enough. The son of Ardad is related to three winners and is entered in a couple of big sales races later in the year. Dandy Speed is an early foal and his half-brother made a winning debut, while Filly Foden is another Ardad progeny and is preferred to Ours De Soleil.

The pair with the most appealing paper claims look to be Dandy Speed and ARDISIA. Hugo Palmer's newcomer is just preferred.
Class & Speed Card

Having scored at Southwell and Sedgefield this season, unbeaten hurdler Bond Broker must warrant respect. However, a further 5lb penalty does demand more from Paul Nicholls' gelding and it could be worth taking a chance on MISTER CESSNA bouncing back. Although the four-year-old couldn't land a blow in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival, a reproduction of his C&D second in February may prove sufficient. Winning pointer An Buachaill Rua merits a market check on his Rules bow.

Preference is for free-going front-runner BOND BROKER, who is unbeaten after two hurdling starts.
Class & Speed Card

It is extremely hard to oppose LAND AFAR, who chased home a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Huntingdon two starts ago. The 10-year-old failed to fire at Leicester when last seen, but he should prove to be a cut above now eased significantly in grade. Kintaro's fourth in handicap company at Taunton suggests that he might be the main threat, ahead of Denzil.

The lightly raced 10yo LAND AFAR had an excuse on heavy ground last time and should be hard to beat if he can get back near his best.
Class & Speed Card

MOTAWAARED took a step forward when finishing runner-up at Southwell last month. Any further progress could make him hard to beat, with retained jockey Jim Crowley taking over the reins for his only ride at the meeting. Raulin ended last year with a promising third at Newcastle and he looks a threat, while Zowal is hard to assess on his placed efforts in France but should be noted debuting for new connections.

The ex-French Zowal is respected but Newmarket raider MOTAWAARED can build on last month's promising second at Southwell.
Class & Speed Card

SAINTE DOCTOR supplemented her Fakenham triumph when following up at Stratford last month. The nine-year-old scored a shade cosily on both occasions and she looks more than capable of defying a further 4lb rise. The biggest threat may emerge from Regal Renaissance, who arrives on the back of a solid second over C&D. Happy D'ex is racing off a career-low mark and Sheila Lewis' mare shouldn't be underestimated sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Regal Renaissance is very likely to run well again but SAINTE DOCTOR is back in very good nick and can complete a hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

RANGATIRA JACK bounced back to form when not beaten far into second over C&D a few weeks ago and the Linda Blackford-trained seven-year-old clearly tops the shortlist on the back of that performance, despite a 2lb rise. The rest all arrive here with plenty to prove, but Constant Friday and Wot You Wearing are the pick of them on recent evidence.

Most of these have lots to prove but RANGATIRA JACK was second in a C&D handicap last month and is a big player if he can back that up.
Class & Speed Card

RAMON DI LORIA justified favouritism by the smallest of margins over 6f at Wolverhampton last month and is only 3lb higher. Ewan Whillans' seven-year-old is a previous C&D winner and it would be no surprise to see him complete a double. Keep Me Stable hasn't finished out of the frame in each of her last three starts at Newcastle and should remain competitive. Falcon Nine is another to keep an eye on.

Capuchinero, Clasina and FALCON NINE appeal most, with the latter taken to leave last month's stable debut well behind.
Class & Speed Card

The introduction of first-time blinkers worked the oracle for ELUSIVENESS when scoring with ease at Taunton eight days ago. A 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold showing from Jeremy Scott's mare and she's fancied to fend off fellow last-time-out winner Crac De Megaudais. The six-year-old drew 12 lengths clear of his nearest pursuer at Fakenham on New Year's Day, but a 13lb hike may prove his downfall. Handicap debutant El Rayo may fare best of the remainder.

Everything seemed to have clicked into place for ELUSIVENESS at Taunton last week, and she can overcome her 7lb penalty here.
Class & Speed Card

SUPER SAINT appeared to have plenty in hand when winning on his handicap debut over 2m4f at Sedgefield last month and a 3lb rise may underestimate Paul Nicholls' gelding. Al Sayah racked up a double when last seen over obstacles in May and has to be noted on her return to action, while Broderick edges out Koukeo to be best of the rest.

Preference is for SUPER SAINT (nap), who justified favouritism on his handicap debut at Sedgefield and is open to more progress.
Class & Speed Card

Paddy's Day successfully completed a four-timer at Newcastle on his most recent start and continues his rise through the ranks. However, with all of these victories coming at the same track and another career best needed, it may be best to side with SPARTAN ARROW. The five-year-old made his second outing for the Archie Watson yard a triumphant one at Wolverhampton and might have more to offer. Last-time-out Chelmsford scorer Thankuappreciate isn't out of it either.

Paddy's Day has been thriving on AW but SPARTAN ARROW (nap) boasts some strong turf form and can follow up his Wolverhampton win.
Class & Speed Card

A winner over C&D before, JAVA POINT bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Sandown last time out and conditions should be in his favour once more as he looks to go one better. Narrowly denied at Warwick on his most recent outing, Destroytheevidence is entitled to be thereabouts again, as well as Annsam, who landed this contest in 2023 off 5lb higher.

This can go to DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE (nap), who made a very good start to his chase career in the autumn and ran well in defeat last time.
Class & Speed Card

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS clearly wasn't at her best when racing too keenly for her own good at Kempton in October and the drop back in trip is likely to see Paul Nicholls' mare in a better light on her handicap bow. Inside Man won over C&D in November and is expected to benefit from returning on a sounder surface. The consistent Princess T and Campaign Trail head the remainder.

Dual hurdle winner SEEYOUINMYDREAMS could resume her progress back at this trip on handicap debut and she gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Dermot Weld saddled a double at Leopardstown on Sunday and could have the answer here with WILD SAPPHIRE. The son of No Nay Never kept good company on both outings in 7f maidens last autumn and finished strongly when a close third to Expanded at the Curragh. Broadstone showed promise on his only start in a Curragh maiden that has worked out quite well, while Gran Habano has plenty of experience and was placed a couple of times at Dundalk over the winter. Any market moves for newcomers Standard Deviation (by Invincible Spirit) or The Liffey Swim, who cost 110,000 pounds at a Breeze Up sale last spring, would be significant.

Well bred WILD SAPPHIRE ran a big race on debut in what looked an above average maiden and soft ground may have been against him since
Class & Speed Card

Placed on three of her four career outings, including on debut here, PRINCESS PW has been freshened up ahead of her first crack at a handicap and can deservedly get off the mark. Mullwarchar hasn't really built on a promising effort first time out at Wolverhampton, but a mark of 68 on his handicap debut looks manageable. Sovereign Class ran creditably when fifth at the same track recently and is another to consider.

The pick is PRINCESS PW, who showed clear promise in her qualifying runs and looks interesting upped to this trip on handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

D DAY ARVALENREEVA could not have done it any easier when scoring at Market Rasen last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop her from following up over slightly shorter. Lady Caro deservedly got off the mark with a determined performance at Plumpton last month, and she is a key player, along with Organic, who has yet to click for new connections but could be interesting on her handicap debut.

She beat only three rivals on her handicap hurdle debut but D DAY ARVALENREEVA did so very comfortably and recorded a good time.
Class & Speed Card

A DEFINITE GETAWAY appears for the first time since December and won't be found a better opportunity to get his head in front. His last success came here in October off 1lb lower and the seven-year-old is likely to be a tough nut to crack, especially with all of his rivals having pulled up when last seen. Castle Daragh may benefit from a first-time visor to pose the main threat, with Up The Straight next best.

Three of the runners were all pulled up last time and the standout contender is A DEFINITE GETAWAY.
Class & Speed Card

NIBRAS RAINBOW won over a mile at Killarney last summer for Paul Flynn and has shaped well on a number of occasions since, including when placed in a 25-runner Curragh handicap. Colin Keane is a significant booking. Naisiun won on her reappearance over 7f at Naas last season and while far from consistent since, could go close off a similar rating, while Royal Pippen has dropped to what appears a competitive mark and is another to consider. Higher Kingdom won four times at Dundalk for John McConnell and it's probably best to put a line through his latest run after getting upset in the stalls.

This doesn't have much depth and NAISIUN could be the one having won on last season's return and she's less exposed than most
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied over C&D on his most recent start in November, ROYAL DUKE likes it here and this appeals as an ideal opportunity on his return to action. Drying ground is likely to suit and the four-year-old is preferred to Henery Hawk, who has rediscovered some form on the all-weather without getting his head in front. Kyber Crystal and Sergeant Mayer have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

Mrs Bagerran will take some pegging back but BENEFICIARY is back to a winning mark and could be worth chancing on a rare turf run.
Class & Speed Card

A faller three out when still going okay in the hunter chase at Cheltenham last month, TAKE ALL looks the one to beat if building upon what could have been a career-best on that occasion. Runner-up over C&D last month after a string of victories in point-to-points, Walkin Out must enter calculations, as well as Cap Du Mathan, who has not been in action since last May but is a capable sort on his day.

Ex-Irish 10yo TAKE ALL has posted some good efforts for his new stable this year and looks the one to beat.
Class & Speed Card

Tuco Salamanca arrives here on the back of a hat-trick in recent months and he has to be of interest once again. That said, another career best is required and marginal preference is for BEST ADVENTURE. Andrew Balding's gelding showed plenty of ability as a juvenile and the son of Frankel should be capable of making his mark at this level. Others to note are West Tyrone and Everyoneknowsadave.

Preference is for WEST TYRONE (nap) who scored nicely over C&D last month and looks to be on the upgrade.
Class & Speed Card

SWITCH HITTER was a useful performer when in the care of Paul Nicholls and arrives following a hat-trick in the point-to-point sphere. The 10-year-old is clear on official ratings and is expected to continue his fine run of form. Windance has the ability to be competitive and merits respect along with King's Quay, whose sole previous appearance under Rules saw him win over C&D in April 2023.

This can go to SWITCH HITTER who was a very useful chaser in his prime and has been resurgent with three point wins in a row this year.
Class & Speed Card

WIN ME OVER was prominent throughout on debut at the Curragh on the opening day of the turf season when taking fourth spot behind Bint Queen Kindly in a 20-runner 7f maiden. The sister to top-class miler Palace Pier should progress from that run and appreciate both the longer trip and sounder surface. Nuit was placed on both starts last autumn including behind Galveston at Naas, while Deressa showed her best form on testing ground over C&D last October when a creditable fourth to Pretty Lavish. Bonnie Moon is bred to stay further.

With improvement on the cards from last month's introduction at the Curragh WIN ME OVER is tipped to open her account.
Class & Speed Card

The return to handicap company is a slight concern for the in-form Urban Dandy and as a result the vote goes to HERETIC. The six-year-old showed more when third over a mile here recently and the first-time application of cheekpieces may bring about some improvement from him. Heerathetrack scored at Chelmsford last month and is another with strong form claims.

The choice is NORTHBOUND who had possible excuses for his two defeats since making a winning reappearance here.
Class & Speed Card

EASTWATCH shaped well on debut over a similar trip at Tipperary last autumn and may have found a good opportunity to open his account. The Andy Slattery-trained gelding was third to Emit and the runner-up, Serious Contender, has boosted the form scoring on both outings since, including a Leopardstown handicap off a mark of 85 last weekend. Crooked Path was far from disgraced on debut behind Dupont Law on the opening day of the season at the Curragh and should appreciate this longer distance, while others to consider include newcomer Paul Henry (by Camelot) and Methgal.

Newcomer Paul Henry may not cope with EASTWATCH (nap), whose debut third at Tipperary has been shown in a good light by the 2nd
Class & Speed Card

FISTRAL BEACH racked up a double when winning over 7f at Newcastle most recently, which followed a C&D success, and she tops the shortlist off only 3lb higher. Fifty Sent was just beaten a neck into third off this mark over track and trip last week and is an obvious threat to the selection. The recent Newcastle winner Margot Robbie is another to note.

Preference is for C&D winner FISTRAL BEACH who can overcome a 3lb rise and complete the hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

SPRING DANCE cost 350,000 euro at Arqana in December and while it's concerning that she only makes her debut at four, the Dubawi filly makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being out of a Listed winning daughter of Shamardal and from a very smart Australian family. It will be interesting to see how strong she is in the market. Royal Hollow and Extrapolation are both decent sorts over jumps, while Victoria Kesia was placed a number of times last year but seems well suited by soft ground. Fianna indicated ability in two starts last year, although it may be significant that Billy Lee elects to ride Moss Tucker's half-brother Diesel Deans.

The tentative vote goes to VICTORIA KESIA who finished 2nd in 3 of her last 4 starts last term and sets a solid standard
Class & Speed Card

Although keen, DOJIN opened her account with something in hand at Southwell last month and there should be more to come. An opening mark of 74 looks workable for the daughter of Iffraaj and she's fancied to follow up. Royale Goodnight will find this easier than the Listed Montrose at Newmarket in November last year and the Daniel & Claire Kubler-trained filly isn't taken lightly on the back of a wind procedure. Spirit Of Jura may fare best of the remainder.

The vote goes to BINTABUHA. Closely related to the AW Listed winner Garden Paradise, this longer trip should suit her well on breeding.
Class & Speed Card

THATWILLDOSO had three starts in maidens early last season and ran a cracker on the latest of two handicap outings in the autumn, when beating all bar Nans View in a 20-runner 1m2f Curragh event. The winner is now rated considerably higher having followed up at Galway and Jack Kearney claims a valuable 5lb. Magic Charm has won twice over a mile and showed promise on a number of occasions last season, including over 1m1f at Tipperary, while Dazzling Spirit has dropped to a lowly mark and has now joined Cian Collins. The lightly-raced Venting and Tatum are others to consider.

This could be a good opportunity for THATWILLDOSO who was coming to the boil at the end of last term and his latest 2nd is working out
Class & Speed Card

The hat-trick seeking Oriental Prince warrants respect after scoring over C&D and more recently at Newcastle. However, a 5lb penalty does demands another career-best performance from Jim Goldie's charge and preference is for EM JAY KAY. The six-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up third at Wolverhampton and he makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark. Fellow in-form rivals Safari Dream and Broken Spear are others of interest.

C&D winner ORIENTAL PRINCE can extend his hot run of form since the hood went on, with the return to this track no problem at all.
Class & Speed Card

A hot conditions race with all bar one of the nine runners holding a rating of 95 or higher. ROMZINA has a bit to find on figures but should have scope for further improvement having won a Cork maiden on debut and been placed on both subsequent starts at Listed level. She could be suited by this trip having kept on well into third behind Caught U Looking over 1m4f at Naas. Salt Bay has struggled to justify his rating since being narrowly denied over this trip at York last June, while War Rooms, third in the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York last year, is a nice addition to Gerry Keane's yard. Persian Bliss has progressed well and won three times over the winter at Dundalk.

Dermot Weld had a fine double at Leopardstown on Sunday and can keep up the good work with lightly raced filly ROMZINA
Class & Speed Card

The market should prove informative in a contest full of newcomers, with a tentative vote going to MUSEUM PIECE. The daughter of Showcasing is a sister to useful 5f winner Ganesha, and she could take some stopping if sharing the same ability. Shetakesthegold represents the Richard Hannon team, who have their string in fine fettle at present, and she warrants consideration, along with Social Exclusion and Diamond Alexander.

£100,000 yearling DIAMOND ALEXANDER is bred to be a talented sprinting two-year-old and she earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Sant Alessio may have benefitted from setting a steady pace when beaten a neck into second at Wolverhampton last month, but that was still a respectable effort and he has to be considered. However, MARKET HOUSE looks the way to go. The five-year-old produced another good performance when hitting the woodwork over an extended 2m at Newcastle last time. This drop back in trip looks a good move and he can make it three wins out of six starts for the James Owen yard. Bunker Bay looks best of the rest.

James Owen has done an excellent job with MARKET HOUSE who can make it 3-5 for the yard. Sant Alessio is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

BALGOWAN accounted for Fiftyshadesaresdev (third) when filling the runner-up spot over track and trip last month and that might be the key piece of form to focus on. Seamus Mullins' six-year-old goes off an unchanged rating and could gain his first career success. Fiftyshadesaresdev hasn't finished out of the top three since undergoing a wind operation and looks the main threat again, while Yakhabar is another to watch out for.

It may be worth siding with LEON TROTSKY who wasn't suited by the slow tempo here last time, but who had won well the time before.

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.
