There were 37 Races on Wednesday 30th April 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 7 races at Ascot, 7 races at Pontefract, 8 races at Punchestown, 7 races at Brighton, 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

Dickensian, Inca Heights and Super Soldier all made winning debuts and should have plenty more to offer. However, each has the burden of a penalty and are outshone on pedigree by WISE APPROACH. The Godolphin-owned colt is a half-brother to Perfect Power, who won the Norfolk over C&D as juvenile before going on to land three Group 1s (including the 2022 Commonwealth Cup) in a stellar career. Having cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling, the sky is the limit for this son of Mehmas.

This could be a good race. WISE APPROACH is a half-brother to top 2yo Perfect Power and this son of Mehmas cost a lot of money.
Class & Speed Card

Docklands tends to go well here and has a decent enough record when fresh to enter calculations, as he drops in class for his first run with a tongue-tie added. However, this is deeply competitive, with any number capable of having a big impact. WITCH HUNTER is certainly one of those and perhaps this could be the ideal time to catch the six-year-old. Harper's Ferry, Checkandchallenge and Phantom Flight are other serious players.

Back down in grade on his debut for a new yard, UNQUESTIONABLE gets the vote ahead of Sardinian Warrior and Docklands.
Class & Speed Card

It's difficult to see past MUNSIF, despite his penalty. The son of Sea The Stars was sent off favourite at Nottingham on his racecourse debut and duly obliged in good style. He looks the one to beat with the prospect of more to come. Jeanne Baret is bred for middle-distances and the half-sister to seven winners could prove the main danger, while Dynamo George is closely related to a Listed winner and looks best of the remainder.

The Roger Varian-trained MUNSIF impressed on his debut at Nottingham three weeks ago and is taken to make it 2-2.
Class & Speed Card

COLTRANE has won the last two renewals of this contest and is fancied to take centre stage to complete the hat-trick. The son of Mastercraftsman won the 2023 edition fresh from a break and his credentials are very hard to ignore given he is well clear of the rest on the official ratings. Yashin still doesn't have too many miles on the clock and can put up a fight if revitalised on his first start after wind surgery. Feigning Madness is less exposed than Divine Comedy and appeals the most from that pair.

This race has brought the best out of COLTRANE in each of the last two seasons and he's taken to land a Sagaro hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

ARGENTINE TANGO finished a creditable second at Beverley on debut considering she was green. The daughter of Mattmu will have benefitted considerably from that experience and can make the most of her sex allowance. Champion Island can boast a couple of Listed winners as half-brothers and Charlie Johnston's inmate can make his presence felt, while Star Material faced a stiff task at Musselburgh on debut and is worth noting representing last year's winning yard.

A chance is taken on STAR MATERIAL who was noticeably short in the betting when shaping with promise at Musselburgh.
Class & Speed Card

Recent impressive Tramore winner FAIRYLAND OPERA could prove leniently treated off 114. Despite easily opening her account over hurdles, the Lorna Fowler-trained mare was left on the same mark for that maiden success. Back in handicap company, the six-year-old can exploit that favourable rating. Runner-up on her previous start at Navan, the daughter of Elusive Pimpernel has plenty of experience. A fast-run race, where she can be delivered late from off the pace, should really suit. Thanksforthehelp was third in this race a few years back when sent off market leader. Representing the sponsors, he is sure to have had a repeat bid in mind for some time. Ballysax Hank also catches the eye off a lower hurdles mark.

SHOWURAPPRECIATION showed he retains his old ability when sixth in a beginners' last month and he may be better than a mark of 112
Class & Speed Card

ELECTROLYTE returns to the fray with leading claims after he signed off last season with a Group 3 victory at Chantilly, while his excellent second in the Coventry here last summer offers further encouragement. Arabie showed smart form when winning a couple of Group sprints in France last term and has a recent outing under his belt, while Big Mojo finished a creditable fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint in November. Dash Dizzy could also prove competitive at this level.

Having impressed with the way he quickened to put the Listed Spring Cup to bed at Lingfield last month, REBEL'S GAMBLE earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

INGLEBY ARCHIE finished a respectable second over 6f at Thirsk on his reappearance and Adrian Nicholls' sprinter made all to land a double over the minimum trip last summer. He could prove hard to stop here if allowed his own way in front. Cloud King may have a say in the outcome if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect, while Reigning Profit was narrowly denied over course and distance on his penultimate start and can also feature.

The early skirmishes may be decisive but, in the hope they overdo things up front, REIGNING PROFIT is selected to finish best of all.
Class & Speed Card

The lightly-raced DOWNMEXICOWAY can take this for the Henry De Bromhead yard. A former point-to-point winner, the six-year-old finished runner-up on his first two runs over hurdles before opening his account at Down Royal in December. Although well beaten in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse earlier this month, he was entitled to need the outing and stepping up in trip for the first time under Rules should see him in a better light. Thurles winner Millforce rates the main threat. Gavin Cromwell's son of Workforce is a proven stayer who should have no difficulties dropping back in distance. Despite a very disappointing effort last time, Scalpnagoon cannot be left out of calculations.

Unexposed CHAMPAGNE JURY's form couldn't be working out much better having chased home a subsequent Aintree Grade 1 winner last time
Class & Speed Card

ISLE OF LISMORE won this contest last year and is 7lb lower now. He showed plenty of promise when fourth at Newmarket recently, and a bold bid looks to be on the cards from Robert Cowell's charge. Duran looks on a workable mark having returned to action with an encouraging second at Beverley. He can feature again, while Good Earth also showed up well at the same Beverley fixture and is another to consider.

Last year's winner Isle Of Lismore looks booked for a good run but DURAN is taken to build on his encouraging Beverley return.
Class & Speed Card

It wasn't a great race that Show Biz Kid won at Yarmouth earlier in the month but he did it gamely and, still open to improvement over the trip, he commands respect off just 2lb higher. However, MOLINARI is entitled to have more of an edge on the back of a respectable second on his seasonal return at Newcastle. Having gone well here before, the top weight shades the vote. It's A Love Thing and Prince Achille complete the shortlist.

Although Prince Achille shaped well last time preference is for IT'S A LOVE THING, who was a good second back on turf two weeks ago.
Class & Speed Card

The Willie Mullins-trained KAID D'AUTHIE is given a chance to atone for a lacklustre effort at Cheltenham. Previously a respectable fourth in Grade 1 company at the Dublin Racing Festival, the French-bred gelding had won his maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Having skipped Aintree, the five-year-old should be a relatively fresh horse coming into this contest and his prominent racing style will prove well suited to this sharp track. Stablemate Got Glory has failed to complete in three starts this campaign, but she was runner-up at this meeting last year and perhaps a return to Punchestown will see her show more of her old sparkle. Blue Mosque needs to step up, but she is an experienced hurdler who shouldn't be ruled out.

Gordon Elliott may be capable of gaining a first win in this with AMERICAN MIKE who's been running well in defeat over fences this term
Class & Speed Card

VICTORY QUEEN displayed plenty of promise when making a winning debut over a mile at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago and Charlie Appleby's filly sets the standard on the back of that performance. Purple Rainbow took a step forward from her encouraging racecourse bow when getting off the mark at Kempton in January and she has to be noted on her return. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Breckenbrough and Gulya are the pick of them.

Most of the runners with experience have shown significant promise. GULYA and Victory Queen are particularly interesting prospects.
Class & Speed Card

SUPERPOSITION is drawn to attack from stall three and could be well placed to follow up his recent Southwell maiden win. On The River hasn't fared as well with the draw and the widest berth of all complicates his chance of gaining a third career success over C&D. A bigger danger could be posed by the hat-trick seeking/recent track-and-trip winner, Partisan Hero, despite him needing another personal best on these terms.

Preference is for SUPERPOSITION, who impressed in an AW maiden last month and whose trainer Ed Dunlop has a good record here.
Class & Speed Card

The Gordon Elliott-trained HONESTY POLICY is taken to follow up his Grade 1 win at Aintree. A winner of three of his four career runs over flights, the five-year-old was bought by JP McManus prior to that recent success. With the speed to win over the minimum trip and the stamina to finish runner-up in a point-to-point, he looks to have it all. While this is arguably his stiffest test to date, the son of Jukebox Jury should be up to the task. Cheltenham winner Jasmin De Vaux hadn't convinced with his jumping prior to that commanding success. Provided he puts in an error-free round again, he has to go close. Unbeaten hurdler Jarrive De Mee also merits respect.

Aintree winner HONESTY POLICY has progressed rapidly and may have the measure of Albert Bartlett winner Jasmin De Vaux
Class & Speed Card

TOIMY SON failed to fire on his return to action in the Lincoln last month, but the six-year-old is only 1lb higher than when third in the Cambridgeshire last season and he can be given another chance here. The unexposed My Cloud won a Newcastle novice event by 13 lengths when last seen in October and he has to be noted on his handicap bow. Mythical Guest and Talis Evolvere are others to consider.

Unexposed MY CLOUD (nap) is preferred. Class-droppers Toimy Son, Son and Talis Evolvere complete the shortlist.
Class & Speed Card

Plenty of these arrive in top form, including KATS BOB, who has been a revelation since joining the Ruth Carr stable and is unbeaten in four starts since February. Unpenalised for a comfortable success in an apprentice handicap at Thirsk last time out, the seven-year-old can follow up at the main expense of Wreck It Ryley, who wasn't for catching at the same venue last time. Catterick scorer Mister Sox is another to note, as well as the returning Zip It Up, who was a respectable second at Lingfield when last seen.

Wreck It Ryley can go well but KATS BOB (nap) has carried all before him since joining Ruth Carr and he can make it five in a row.
Class & Speed Card

ROYAL ACCORD didn't do himself any favours with a tardy start at Wolverhampton last time out, but he still did well to finish second and with a cleaner break on this occasion, Stuart Williams' gelding can go one better. She Went Whoosh broke the maiden with a half-length success from the reopposing Watkins (second) at Lingfield last week and both are entitled to be thereabouts again.

Watkins may have turned a corner but ROYAL ACCORD (nap) is in good nick and looks solid on his return to turf.
Class & Speed Card

BAMBINO FEVER bids to follow up recent heroics and holds three of today's rivals on previous form. A point-to-point winner, her bumper form is top-class and after beating Switch From Diesel at the Dublin Racing Festival, she raced wide when scoring at Cheltenham. She is ground-versatile, consistent and can confirm her Cheltenham superiority over stablemate Copacabana (10th) and Kalypso'chance (11th, having started favourite). Patrick Mullins again rides Copacabana but although he defeated two subsequent winners on debut and also raced wide at Cheltenham, he has 10 lengths to find with the selection. The keen-going Colcannon defeated the subsequent Cheltenham seventh- and eighth-placed horses at Leopardstown and is capable of getting involved.

A chance is taken on DRF winner, COLCANNON who was well backed for his Leopardstown win and this race has been the long term target
Class & Speed Card

An opening Flat mark of 63 proved to be lenient for recent Catterick scorer AN BRADAN FEASA and there should be more to come. Reverting to Tapeta and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Jack Jones' gelding, with the biggest threat forecast to emerge from Return With Gold. The three-year-old receives a handy weight-for-age allowance and he isn't taken lightly. Persian Phoenix is the pick of the remainder.

Ollie Pears's RETURN WITH GOLD (nap) hasn't looked back since handicapping and can bag a second win.
Class & Speed Card

Turned out again quickly after almost ending a long losing streak over 1m3f at Southwell last time out, ANIFICAS BEAUTY must hold every chance on the drop in distance with Jason Hart an eye-catching booking. A capable sort on his day, Mickey Mongoose can follow the selection home, along with Odd Socks Havana, who has strong claims on his runner-up effort at Newcastle two starts ago.

A low-grade event can go to FIRST ENCOUNTER, who should improve for his reappearance run at Nottingham earlier this month.
Class & Speed Card

A highly promising second on his debut here, DAPPER CHARM showed plenty of greenness on that occasion and, with normal improvement expected, he can get off the mark for his in-form connections. Eternal Solace has a speedy pedigree being a half-sister to decent handicapper Yes I'm Mali and she could have a big say first time out. Fellow newcomer Debs Ten is bred to need further in time, but still enters the equation.

Having made a good debut over C&D 18 days ago, DAPPER CHARM sets a solid standard and he can go one better.
Class & Speed Card

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS has finished second in the last two renewals of this race and while he hasn't displayed his best form at Punchestown, he continues to produce consistently high-class performances and finished second in last month's Cheltenham Gold Cup. Beaten four times from six course runs, he nonetheless performed with great credit in each of those defeats and while beaten by Spillane's Tower in November, is better suited by this longer distance. Spillane's Tower disappointed in the King George over Christmas and although he remains unexposed and is a fresher horse, he might struggle against chasing's 'Mr Dependable'. Banbridge won the King George but, along with Monty's Star, is held by the selection on Cheltenham form.

Bearing in mind his previous vulnerability in this race, Galopin Des Champs is overlooked in favour of SPILLANE'S TOWER
Class & Speed Card

Having found only a promising Godolphin colt too strong on his seasonal debut at Yarmouth earlier this month, Palazzo Blu is likely to give another good account. However, the three-year-old may have to play second fiddle once more as FOXLIGHT is slightly more compelling. Ian Williams' inmate supplemented his opening victory in a Lingfield bumper when making an equally impressive Flat debut at this venue. Fellow last-time-out winner Harpsichord also warrants respect.

Marco Botti's Saxon Warrior colt PALAZZO BLU can take another step forward now he goes over 1m4f and quickly resume winning ways here
Class & Speed Card

Now that the penny has dropped for PACKETOFBISCUITS after a taking success at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, Sir Mark Prescott's charge looks more than capable of following up, despite a 4lb rise. That may be at the main expense of Mandana, who was a comfortable winner on her return at Lingfield and could be well treated off a mark of 71 on her handicap debut. Bintjan and Little She are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The three fillies bring promise into their handicap debuts but turf debutant PACKETOFBISCUITS already has winning form in this sphere
Class & Speed Card

JAMES DU BERLAIS has won just once since October 2020, but has run many good races in defeat and has useful recent form. Placed twice at Grade 1 level from three course runs, he fell when fancied for last year's race. He has run well in the last two renewals of Aintree's Topham Chase, drops slightly in grade here, and should compete. Lets Go Champ is 8lb higher than when winning this last year, while runner-up Must Be Obeyed is much better off at the weights and has a useful course record but was well beaten just eight days ago. Lightkeeper steps up in grade, while Blue Lord tries cheekpieces.

Plenty of experienced types here, but none may cope with the novice LIGHTKEEPER who trounced a subsequent winner in his first handicap
Class & Speed Card

Lednikov must enter the reckoning after making all over a furlong shorter here and a 4lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from going close again. However, the form of THIS TIME MAYBE's narrow defeat over C&D looks slightly stronger and Mark Usher's gelding edges the verdict. Dan Horsford has his string in good heart at present and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Nivelle's Magic step up on her fifth-placed reappearance.

Lednikov is feared but FOREST HAZE gets the vote in the hope she can build on an encouraging stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

Having returned to form with a solid second over C&D earlier this month, VOIX DE BOCELLI makes plenty of appeal. The five-year-old races off an unchanged mark and he looks more than capable of scoring in class 6 company. Light Up Our Stars has been performing with credit over shorter trips of late and he must enter calculations in his current heart. Scott Dixon's veteran is feared most, ahead of Arenas Del Tiempo.

9yo Light Up Our Stars should go well but the vote is cast toward VOIX DE BOCELLI, who ran well when second over C&D 18 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

CARRIGMOORNASPRUCE is very dependable and has run well in some smart bumpers. A dual winner, she was beaten 13 lengths by subsequent Cheltenham Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever in February and again ran well in a recent Listed bumper - where the smart Switch From Diesel turned previous form around to beat her. Future Prospect disappointed in that February race but was just a nose behind the selection 24 days ago, so little separates the pair. The well-bred Seo Linn is a half-sister to an Italian Derby runner-up and has scored at Listed and Grade 2 level in England this season. Beaten into fourth in a Gowran Listed bumper in October, she reverts to tackling some of the better Irish-based mares here.

Having kept fresh for Aintree, the Flat-bred SEO LINN (nap) may continue to show the benefit of sidestepping a winter campaign
Class & Speed Card

Ollie Sangster introduces a notable filly in the shape of WHISPERWOOD, who is a half-sister to a couple of winners and, as a February foal, she could be forward enough to make the trip from her Wiltshire-based yard worthwhile. Others to keep an eye on include Acceptance and Lady Cassien, who are nicely-bred types to consider, while Havana Beach won't need to be anything special to get the better of her stable companion Coul Jane, based on the latter's debut run.

The shortlist comprises WHISPERWOOD, Acceptance and Lady Cassien who look best of the debutantes.
Class & Speed Card

BLENHEIM STAR offered something to work with on her third-placed reappearance over track and trip 18 days ago. A 1lb drop in the ratings can only help William Knight's filly and a fourth career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from dual C&D winner Waleyfa, who has done little wrong in two outings on the all-weather of late, while Graffiti is noted dropping in trip.

The vote goes to William Knight's BLENHEIM STAR who teed herself up for a third C&D win with a promising return to action 18 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

This isn't much deeper than the classified event Brinton won at Wolverhampton last month and the C&D winner appeals now bidding for a first career success in a handicap. However, some wily characters are in opposition, with none appealing more than course specialist MASHAM MOOR, who bids for a fourth track-and-trip triumph from a feasible rating. Quick Away is also high on the list as she reverts to Tapeta.

A mile is surely a better sort of fit for CROWD QUAKE and he earns the vote ahead of old rivals Brinton and Quick Away.
Class & Speed Card

Sam's Hope arrives on the back of a solid second at Wolverhampton and she must enter calculations off the same mark. However, the five-year-old has yet to prove herself on turf and it could be worth taking a chance on LION RING. Andrew Martin's inmate didn't enjoy the best of passages when finishing sixth in a 14-runner affair at Catterick and he could get his head back in front. The down-in-class Amathus is the pick of the remainder.

Far greater luck in the run may smooth BEAR TO DREAM's path to a fourth Brighton win, ahead of Amathus.
Class & Speed Card

Dependability counts for plenty at this level and FIFTY SENT can continue to pay his way after a tenacious effort to win over a potentially inadequate 7f here at the start of this month. The manner in which he won that race suggests returning to a mile could be beneficial and, with Amie Waugh's 3lb claim a handy asset, another bold showing looks likely. Dash Power and Back From Dubai are other solid options, while Specialist View has some each-way appeal returning after wind surgery.

In an unappealing race a chance is taken on MR SLICKER getting back to winning ways. Back From Dubai is next best.
Class & Speed Card

The application of a first-time visor did the trick for Sunday's Wetherby winner NORTHCLIFF and there should be more to come. Michael Keady's gelding scored with something in hand and he could make light work of a 5lb penalty. Having returned to form with a respectable second at Bath, The Thames Boatman isn't taken lightly. He appeals as the main danger, ahead of lightly-raced seasonal debutant Maid In Chelsea.

Representing a yard having its best ever month winners-wise, MAID IN CHELSEA is taken to deny Northcliff a quick follow-up.
Class & Speed Card

ADVERSARY looks the one to beat on the back of a career-best effort at Kempton, where he was only denied in a head-bobbing finish. The Clive Cox-trained gelding is preferred to Mwafaq, who ran a highly encouraging race when upped to a mile on his handicap debut, making the frame at Redcar. Classic Cause and Dovey Moon may also have a say in proceedings.

A maiden handicap in all but name. ADVERSARY, who went very close last time, is the suggestion ahead of Mwafaq.
Class & Speed Card

HARDY BLOKE ended last season in consistent form and this appeals as an ideal opportunity on his return. Shay Farmer taking off a valuable 7lb is a major plus and he may have too much for Scotland The Brave, who disappointed at Newcastle but is better judged on February's success at the same track. Ex-Willie Mullins inmate Immelmann should be monitored for market support on his first run for shrewd connections.

Another chance is given to SCOTLAND THE BRAVE, who may still have more to offer in handicaps. Dreams Adozen is second pick.

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.
