There were 41 Races on Wednesday 23rd April 2025 across 6 meetings. There was 8 races at Perth, 7 races at Catterick, 6 races at Ludlow, 7 races at Gowran Park, 7 races at Lingfield, 6 races at Taunton, 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

KEVIN'S PRIDE was impressive in winning a bumper by nine lengths on his racecourse bow at Kilbeggan last August and hasn't done much wrong in finishing second in all three subsequent starts over hurdles. Versatile regarding distance, there is enough to suggest the son of Mount Nelson is worth persevering with here. Point-to-point winner Saint Malinas has shown similar promise in his two starts under Rules and is another key player. Frisby and Scarlet Jet complete the shortlist.

Top-rated KEVIN'S PRIDE has a very solid record and gets the vote ahead of interesting Mary Stanford.
Class & Speed Card

Kyber Crystal made a winning return to action at Musselburgh earlier in the month and commands plenty of respect off a 3lb higher mark. The form was given a quick boost by the runner-up winning here the following week but the second from that more recent contest, JAMIE'S CHOICE, is fancied to go one better. Tracy Waggott's mare only went up 1lb for that display and a similar effort may suffice. Others to note are Glory Fighter and Let's Go Hugo.

Paul Midgley holds a strong hand, with GLORY FIGHTER, who's on a career-low mark, preferred to C&D specialist Birkenhead.
Class & Speed Card

Ostend, Dare To Shout and Rattling Road have plenty going for them and each merits close inspection. However, BASHERS REFLECTION is dangerous to underestimate given the reliability he has shown in his three starts since undergoing wind surgery, with his most recent third in a class 2 chase at Kempton looking a particulary persuasive piece of form in the context of this race. The aforementioned Ostend is feared the most after a wide-magin success with a first-time tongue-tied added at Market Rasen.

With the tongue tie retained, OSTEND could well follow up his Market Rasen win. Rattling Road is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

TEES AGGREGATES bounced back from a couple of below-par efforts at the end of the last campaign when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago and Adrian Nicholls' gelding may well take advantage on this occasion, especially with the majority of the line-up returning from a break. Military Girl won here on her second start last May and remains open to improvement, while J Street and Beaujolais Nouveau appear best of the remainder.

Only two of these have run recently and LUCIUS AURELIUS (nap) has plenty in his favour returned to 5f. Tees Aggregates is next best.
Class & Speed Card

Brendas Asking has faced uphill tasks in Grade 2 company in recent months and she must enter calculations reverting to class 4 company, more so with Nathan Andrews taking a hefty 10lb off her back. However, MORE COKO is better than last month's 20-length defeat over an extended 2m4f at Plumpton and he is slightly more compelling. Willie Mullins' gelding ran too keen and this 2m distance should see an improved display. Don't Mind If I Do is also noted.

More Coko could redeem himself for Willie Mullins but might find that conceding 19lb to C&D winner BRENDAS ASKING is a tricky task.
Class & Speed Card

HORACES PEARL was unbeaten going into the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree and, given he stumbled two out, his fifth-placed finish in that race was commendable. This looks a shade easier and a resumption of winning ways is a distinct possibility, with the longer trip a potential source for improvement. Dedicated Hero is another key player after securing a Grade 2 success at Haydock most recently, while Minella Rescue and the unexposed Kiss Will are other notable contenders in a strong renewal.

Plenty of the runners have possibilities in this open and competitive race. HORACES PEARL is first choice ahead of Mister Meggit.
Class & Speed Card

Having let down favourite-backers on both starts to date, BELGRAVIAN is expected to benefit from stepping up in trip in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Tralee Girl is bred to stay well and has to enter the reckoning based on her placed efforts at Wolverhampton. Newcomers Cayman Dancer and Dubaian can fight it out for the minor honours.

Maybe the step up in trip will prove the answer for Belgravian but the concession of weight to TRALEE GIRL might prove beyond him.
Class & Speed Card

KITESURFER clearly wasn't at his best when finishing seventh at Huntingdon 197 days ago and may be worth chancing on his return to action. The six-year-old had previously looked progressive when scoring at Worcester and he looks capable of more. The Bold Thady was a respectable fourth at Ascot in November and Neil Mulholland's charge must be monitored in the betting. Mikimoto appears best of the remainder.

Kitesurfer and The Bold Thady could prove vulnerable to the handicap newcomers DOCTOR MIDAS (nap) and Swift Jet.
Class & Speed Card

FUN FUN FUN represents Willie Mullins and will likely prove a warm order. She won a Grade 3 novice chase with any amount in hand when upped to 3m at Limerick a month ago, and will likely prove hard to stop given these favourable terms. Stable companion Paggane scored nicely at Clonmel last time, but the progressive El Elefante is a bigger threat representing last year's winning trainer. Coco Mademoiselle was still in contention when falling at Cheltenham last week, though has plenty to find in this company.

Useful FUN FUN FUN looks difficult to oppose on ratings. El Elefante is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

TROIA won a decent-looking maiden at Newbury last summer and was then held on to until pitched into the Oh So Sharp at Newmarket in October. A respectable fourth in that Group 3, Ed Walker's Kingman filly has bags of scope and dropping back down in class provides an ideal platform for a confidence-boosting return. Magna Grecia Star eclipsed her promising Kempton debut with a facile success at Wolverhampton last month. Switching to turf, she is feared more than the newcomers Marsh Meadow and Invincible Ruby.

Magna Grecia Star remains promising but she may find TROIA a touch too classy with that filly having run well in Group 3 company.
Class & Speed Card

A step up in trip brought about an improved performance from TOMMYS CHARM when finishing a close-up second over 3m1f at Wincanton in January. Kerry Lee's inmate only gave way in the closing stage and today's 3m distance could prove fruitful. The biggest threat may emerge from Ultra Beat, who opened his account at Southwell 27 days ago and a 3lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Chasing debutant Planet Legend is the pick of the remainder.

This may be between tidy last-time-out winner ULTRA BEAT and the extremely lightly raced Wincanton runner-up Tommys Charm.
Class & Speed Card

PARISENCORE has been threatening a return to winning ways. Beaten only a neck in the Castleford Chase at Wetherby in December, he returns to action here and Nicky Richards' charge gets the vote. Netywell showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up at Kelso and looks on a workable mark, while Etalon drops in class and is no forlorn hope for the Skelton yard. Vocito represents last year's winning trainer and makes most appeal of the rest.

Off an attractive mark returned to this grade, ETALON (nap) is particularly interesting. Vocito is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

STORM PIECE showed plenty of promise in three maiden outings last year and handled testing ground when again filling the runner-up spot on his reappearance over this trip at Naas last month. The Ger Lyons-trained colt had Iron Fist nearly five lengths back in fourth and may now have most to fear from Kilmood Susan. She moves up to this distance for the first time after finishing well over 6f on soft ground at the Curragh and receives plenty of weight, especially when factoring in Nicola Burns' 7lb claim. Gran Habano certainly won't lack for experience and has placed form on the turf and all-weather, including when third to The Liffey Swim over a mile here last time.

With several coming back from lengthy breaks, a chance is taken on the consistent KILMOOD SUSAN to gain a deserved first win
Class & Speed Card

ANOTHER BAAR is back on a nice mark and appeals strongly after making up for a slow start with an eyecatching finish over this trip on his seasonal return at Leicester. Animate struck over 6f here last June and, equally effective over this trip, he could be on the premises if he copes with being drawn widest of all. Capital Guarantee has fared better on that score and is another to bear in mind on his first start back after wind surgery.

All eyes will be on last year's winner RED MIRAGE as he bids to take his first-time-out record to 5-6. Another Baar is next best.
Class & Speed Card

VARINIA showed improvement when sporting cheekpieces for the first time to fill the runner-up spot at Fakenham at the start of the month. Stuart Edmunds's six-year-old was put up 6lb for that effort, but looks to have found a winnable contest to defy that rise. Versace Twentyone finished second in maiden company at Hereford last month and could have more to offer on only his second handicap outing. Manala looks best of the rest.

Rockola and Nobody's Perfect have handicap wins. Game On Babe and Manala are unexposed, and VARINIA too is interesting.
Class & Speed Card

JUMPING SUSIE faced a stiff assignment in Listed company at Cork last time, but she won a novice event at Kelso in fine style before that and John McConnell's inmate gets another chance at this lower level. Little Miss Dante looks fairly treated based on her latest fourth at Aintree, while Hay Meadow can make her presence felt now handicapping after landing a novices race at Ayr. Parisian Fashion is another to note.

A handful of these make some appeal with FEACH AMACH making most appeal after her wide-margin Sedgefield win.
Class & Speed Card

DANCE FOR CHESTER relished testing ground when landing a gamble on his reappearance for Mick Mulvany over 5f at Naas last month. The son of Ribchester, who has since joined Stephen Thorne, had Historical Fact about seven lengths back in fifth, with James The Second in rear, and finished strongly up the hill to suggest he can stay this trip. Weegeebear rates an obvious threat having won two claimers this year, including over a mile here last week. Kilgharrahs Love showed her best form on heavy ground last year and was placed behind Chica Guerrera over C&D in the autumn.

Running on testing ground for the first time brought the best out of DANCE FOR CHESTER last time and he can back up his recent Naas win
Class & Speed Card

Hurdling didn't work out for STELLARMASTERPIECE, but she showed her appreciation for the return to the level when successful over C&D a fortnight ago and another bold bid is forecast. A 3lb nudge up the ratings looks more than workable for Micky Hammond's mare and she is preferred to reopposing second Magnetic North. The veteran enjoys a 1lb pull with the selection and he isn't taken lightly. Lawmans Blis is also noted reverting to the Flat.

The C&D handicap in which STELLARMASTERPIECE edged out Magnetic North recently may well hold the key.
Class & Speed Card

CAPTAIN TOMMY failed to complete the hat-trick when well beaten into second at Kempton earlier in the month, but he has three previous course successes to his name and can record another. Haven't Time finished a good second at Taunton before being pulled up in the Hunters' Chase at the Festival last month, but may be worth another chance. Yccs Portocervo is the pick of the remainder.

Captain Tommy has set out his claims the most clearly in recent outings but YCCS PORTOCERVO could return to form.
Class & Speed Card

Now that DUBAI IMMO has regained the winning thread after a taking performance at Chelmsford last time out, the six-year-old could have more improvement forthcoming off a 4lb higher mark. A capable sort on his day, Visibility can follow the selection home, along with Palazzo Persico, who has dropped back to his last winning mark. Beauld As Brass and Crafter are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

There were mitigating circumstances for CRAFTER's disappointing run here last time and he can bounce back to form.
Class & Speed Card

HENRYSBROTHERJACK arrives seeking a third win of the season, with the six-year-old having improved for a step up in distance at Bangor last time. The manner of that performance suggested further progression is likely, despite a 6lb rise from the handicapper. Bollin Neil sprung a surprise at Catterick before a solid Hexham second and is expected to be in the mix along with Shuil Ceoil.

The pick is HENRYSBROTHERJACK, who made it 2-5 in handicaps when finishing well for a clearcut success over 2m7f at Bangor in February.
Class & Speed Card

Although a long-standing maiden, DEUTERONOMY ran arguably his best race to date at Leopardstown earlier this month, getting no luck in running inside the final furlong and eventually having to settle for third. Still towards the bottom of the handicap and with Nicola Burns claiming a valuable 7lb, he should give a good account of himself if handling the testing ground. A case can be made for many others in this competitive heat, with dual course winners Lisabetta and The Fog Horn both of interest. Racing on turf for the first time, Still She Blooms and Happy Henry warrant respect, while Navan third Navorrosse and Superior Force are others for the shortlist.

A wide-open handicap but it might pay to side with one drawn middle to low and with conditions to suit, ASISAID can find his form again
Class & Speed Card

PROTEST RALLY returned from a 208-day break to finish a good second over track and trip earlier this month. Liam Bailey's gelding makes plenty of appeal racing off just 1lb higher and he looks primed to strike at this level. The biggest threat may emerge from Mojomaker, who reappeared after almost three months off with a respectable third at Thirsk. Market support for stable debutant Soul Seeker would be interesting.

There's little to choose between PROTEST RALLY and Sacred Falls on recent C&D running, with the former just shading it.
Class & Speed Card

THE EGYPTIAN GINGE took a big leap forward from his first start under Rules to finish a close fourth at big odds at Kempton last month and is likely to have more improvement in him. Point-to-point winner Jorah D'alma changed hands for 75,000 pounds in May last year and has to be considered on his first outing in a bumper. Uptown Lass and Madajovy can fight it out for the minor honours.

The Egyptian Ginge might prove best of those to have run under rules. Close attention must be paid to Madajovy and JORAH D'ALMA.
Class & Speed Card

Not beaten far at Brighton on her first run for the James Owen team, CABLES QUEEN is likely to relish going back up to 7f and she can get off the mark at the third time of asking. A 7lb penalty for scoring at this venue recently will make life tougher for Annsar, while In A Hurry has strong claims if building on a creditable debut second at Newcastle last June.

Cables Queen should go well back at 7f but GREY PHOENIX could be the answer now hooded for the first time.
Class & Speed Card

A respectable fourth on his handicap debut at Newbury last time out, course winner JACKPOT DES BORDES should appreciate a return to novice company and he can strike on ground that is likely to suit. Handlethekettle has undergone wind surgery since a disappointing effort in the Persian War back in October and better can be expected of Jamie Snowden's charge. Bara Tara can pick up the pieces if the aforementioned pair falter.

Maiden hurdle winner HANDLETHEKETTLE had a tough task in a Grade 2 latest and has leading claims back in calmer waters on his return.
Class & Speed Card

HAPPY INDEX has improved 23lb in the space of four runs, including victories here in September and at Market Rasen, and the daughter of Blue Bresil has been freshened up since filling the runner-up spot at Taunton in December. Maura Jeanne took a step back in the right direction at Newcastle and is of interest with cheekpieces reapplied. Follow Charlie and Nathan Wells complete the shortlist.

There are a few factors that may enable RASCAL to register a first handicap success. Happy Index is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

Proven on testing ground, handicap debutant MATAARIKI gets the nod in this competitive affair. The Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old won on debut here this very day 12 months ago and was a good third on her penultimate start at the Curragh. Disappointing in Listed company at Chantilly in November, she could prove nicely treated off a mark of 84. O'Brien also saddles Shavasi, who can't be discounted, while top-weight Indigo Five is sure to prove popular after her win at the Curragh. The Johnny Feane-trained six-year-old appears to go on any ground and she should give a good account of herself, with Wesley Joyce claiming a valuable 5lb. Three-time winner Bellaphina, Paul Flynn's Fast Tara and Naas third Sara Valentina are others for the shortlist.

INDIGO FIVE won in the manner of a very progressive horse at the Curragh last month and the form received a nice boost on Saturday
Class & Speed Card

A creditable second over 2m at Kempton last time out, NAASMA should be suited by dropping back in trip and she is just 2lb above her last winning mark. That may be enough to see off the consistent Cerulean Summer, who has been placed on six of her last seven outings. A determined winner at Brighton last September, Innisfree Pearl can have a say off 2lb higher on her return.

Naasma and GOLDEN DOVE (nap) look the two to focus on and the latter can build on her promising recent stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

JACKSBAR was given a bit too much to do behind an in-form front-runner at Southwell last week, but she rallied well for second and must hold every chance on this occasion off the same mark. A surprise winner here over shorter on her first start for this stable back in November, Chabadatika is a key player. Breccia bounced back to form in a seller at Exeter, but has more on her plate now.

Dan Skelton's JACKSBAR was a close second on her step up to 3m at Southwell last week and she gets the vote ahead of Chabadatika.
Class & Speed Card

An excellent second to subsequent Group 1 winner Scorthy Champ on debut, DAHLIA NOIR has been a shade disappointing since. Starting off in handicap company, she was a solid fifth on her return to action at Leopardstown last month and, back in calmer waters, she looks the one to beat. While the ground is a bit of an unknown, it's worth noting that her dam won on soft. Joseph O'Brien saddles three of the 16 set to take part, with Dylan Browne McMonagle opting to partner debutant Shrihara. Upped to a mile for the first time, Its All Peachy should be able to make an impact with Colin Keane aboard. Lady Lilac, Echinacea and Restful are others for the shortlist.

SHRIHARA has an attractive pedigree, is bred to handle this ground and is taken to make a winning debut for Joseph O'Brien
Class & Speed Card

GHAIYYA returned to the fray with a solid effort over 1m2f at Newcastle. She rallied gamely in the closing stages to snatch second place and this step up in distance looks in her favour. Hatysa is bred for middle-distances and will likely improve for this longer trip, while Rogue Impact debuts for James Owen and is another to note. Houndsworth finished third at Kempton recently, but has plenty to find with the selection on these terms.

Derby entrant Rogue Impact can leave his 2yo run well behind over this new trip and is preferred to Hatysa and Simply Ruby.
Class & Speed Card

LARA KALEO showed decent improvement from her first to her second start when runner-up at Sedgefield and going up in trip may be just what is needed on her handicap bow. A mark of 95 looks manageable and she is preferred to Newton Abbott second Sevenofus and Bruce Gobbler, who caught the eye when staying on for fifth over shorter here last month. Others to note include Bobby's Fortune, Jukebox Annie and Karakoy.

The vote goes to the very lightly raced LARA KALEO, who looks interesting upped in trip on her handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

The Joseph O'Brien-trained ANNIE'S ANGEL may be able to defy top weight, minus leading apprentice Wayne Hassett's claim. A maiden winner at Galway on her second start, the Dark Angel filly enters handicaps off a feasible mark and, also proven over a mile on heavy ground, there is much to recommend her. Cork third Scott Key would be a serious contender if the ground dried out. Untried on softer than good/yielding, the gelding should go close if handling the surface. Bishopton should have no issues with either trip or ground if ready after an absence.

The top weight ANNIE'S ANGEL won her maiden on heavy for this rider at this track and his 5lb claim eases her burden
Class & Speed Card

Not for the first time, STARTLING failed to stay 6f at Newcastle last time. However, the daughter of Zoustar recorded all three of last year's victories over the minimum trip and she gets another chance, having also returned to a winning mark. She Went Whoosh posted one of her better efforts at Catterick a fortnight ago and could be in the mix, while Kameko Spirit returns to the all-weather with a shout.

Spring and She Went Whoosh are high on the list but STARTLING is back to a winning mark and can score for the fourth time.
Class & Speed Card

TARITINO beat Galactic Glow comfortably by more than three lengths over track and trip earlier in the month and is expected to confirm that form. The five-year-old is just 4lb higher and it would be no surprise to see him complete a double. Fine Point went in at Kempton on his latest outing and may have more to offer on only his third handicap start. Record Art isn't out of it either.

Preference is for TARITINO (nap), who justified favouritism over C&D two weeks ago and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair.
Class & Speed Card

Nicola Burns can add another winner to her tally, with DUMB LOVE holding strong claims. The Gerard O'Leary-trained mare looks very well treated off her present mark of 56 and, when taking into account the additional 7lb that Burns takes off her back, the five-year-old really catches the eye. Proven on heavy ground and over an extended trip, she showed her well-being when finishing third over hurdles at Cork in January. Elle Dorado Rock won on his most recent start on the Flat, but that was on the Polytrack at Dundalk. If handling conditions, he should make his presence felt. Your Honor is another to consider under Ben Coen.

BRILLIANT QUESTION (nap) ran well over timber here last month, will relish the ground and this looks a decent opportunity for her
Class & Speed Card

Raqraaq recorded his second C&D victory when scoring by a neck in January and should mount a bold bid off just 2lb higher. However, DAISY ROOTS made a pleasing start for the Jim Boyle stable when finishing second and four lengths clear of the third over track trip at the start of the month. With a similar performance, she could prove hard to beat. Newfangled completes the shortilst.

Newfangled and RAQRAAQ bring solid form into the contest and can fight out the finish. The selection still looks nicely treated.
Class & Speed Card

Man Of The Sea occupied the runner-up berth in this sphere at Plumpton in October and proved his well-being when scoring on the Flat at Bath on his return to action earlier in the month. He ought to go close, but the vote is instead handed to HIM MALAYA. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old finished a respectable third over C&D last month and can capitalise on an unchanged mark. El Gavilan is another to keep an eye on.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to HIM MALAYA, who has had a win and creditable third over C&D in his last two starts.
Class & Speed Card

Knockout Blow was last seen completing a double over C&D in June 2023 and is an interesting contender on his first start for the Stephanie Cassidy yard, but it may be best to side with PHOENIX MOON. The four-year-old signed off her 2024 campaign with a comfortable C&D success and returns off only 4lb higher. Provided Denis Coakley's filly is ready to go, she will prove tough to beat. Big Bard isn't ruled out either.

Market confidence behind the reappearing Phoenix Moon would be signifcant but UNAVAILABLE might take some pegging back from stall 2.
Class & Speed Card

BOB BISHOP showed ability when finishing third on his debut over track and trip and could take a big step forward with that experience under his belt. This looks a winnable contest and it would be no surprise to see him score. Top Tier Gossip is a big player if building on her second at Stratford, which came prior to her finding a warmer contest too much of an ask at Ascot. Any market confidence behind Colour Clash would be interesting.

Preference is for Joe Tizzard's BOB BISHOP, who made a promising start when third behind a 1-2 shot over C&D last month.

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.
