There were 34 Races on Thursday 3rd April 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 8 races at Naas, 7 races at Aintree, 6 races at Plumpton, 6 races at Sedgefield, 7 races at Chelmsford City, 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

The form of LOS BLANCO's third place on his hurdling debut over C&D looks very strong. The winner has since finished runner-up in a Grade 3, while the second came out and won a maiden hurdle by eight lengths. Zoffman is more than useful on the Flat and this drying ground will suit him. He was beaten a fair way into second on jumping debut at Navan, but that was on soft ground. The 116-rated Polemon has the form in the book to feature too.

This looks like an ideal opportunity for LOS BLANCO, whose C&D third has been advertised strongly by the runner-up Honesty Policy
Class & Speed Card

Jango Baie flew home from what looked an impossible position to win the Arkle and this extra half-mile should certainly suit, while Gidleigh Park's Windsor triumph took a huge boost when the runner-up Caldwell Potter came out and slammed his rivals in the novices' handicap at the Festival. However, Irish raiders CROKE PARK and Impaire Et Passe make most appeal. The latter won a thrilling renewal of the Aintree Hurdle 12 months ago and warrants plenty of respect in first-time cheekpieces, but Gordon Elliott's charge had his measure at the Dublin Racing Festival and could confirm that superiority. The strapping seven-year-old has improved throughout this season and another step forward would make him difficult to beat.

The step back up in trip should be a firm plus for Arkle winner JANGO BAIE and he earns the vote ahead of Gidleigh Park.
Class & Speed Card

DELPOTRO posted what was arguably his best effort since arriving from France when able to finish third at Sedgefield last month. Charlie Longsdon's gelding was eased 1lb in the handicap and with Elizabeth Gale taking off a further 8lb, he should go close. Miss Fedora bolted up over this C&D off 4lb lower in January and although two lesser efforts have followed, she merits the utmost respect. Pleasure Garden is also noted.

Free-going front-runner DELPOTRO (nap) gave it a good shot at Sedgefield last month and can dominate this modest event throughout.
Class & Speed Card

Gordon Elliott's JAZZ DE COTTE could be the answer. The form of his Ayr bumper success almost a year ago has been very well franked. He was next seen being pulled up in a Tipperary maiden hurdle in November but he did cough afterwards according to the stewards report, so could readily bounce back. Barry Connell's Net Boy was in the process of running a good race when he unseated at the last flight in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle. Lecale's Diamond has joined Gavin Cromwell after finishing runner-up in his sole point-to-point start and has to be respected.

Unsuited by testing conditions, BLACK HEATHER is given a hopeful vote on the strength of his useful good-ground bumper form
Class & Speed Card

Nathan Wells made a pleasing stable debut for the Andrew Hamilton team when filling the runner-up spot at Hexham three weeks ago and he merits the utmost respect in a race of this nature, but the vote goes to MASTERPIECE. Rebecca Menzies' gelding, a bumper winner at Newcastle in October, looks certain to appreciate the switch to hurdling and ought to go close. Tyson Magoo is another to consider.

Nathan Wells finished ahead of SOLDIER IN MAYO at Hexham last time but he isn't certain to confirm placings over this trip.
Class & Speed Card

It should come as little surprise that the majority of previous winners of this contest raced in the Triumph Hurdle beforehand, but Willy De Houelle and Gibbs Island represent this year's form and were unable to land a blow at Cheltenham. Live Conti had little difficulty in disposing of his rivals on his stable/UK bow at Wetherby and must enter the reckoning. However, marginal preference is for PUTURHANDSTOGETHER, who showed an opening mark of 130 to be all wrong in the Fred Winter. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding impressed with his high cruising speed and this sharper track should play to his strengths. Stablemate Naturally Nimble arrives on the back of a respectable fourth in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown and isn't out of it.

A ready success in the strong Fred Winter handicap at Cheltenham suggests PUTURHANDSTOGETHER (nap) can cut it at Grade 1 level.
Class & Speed Card

BLACKSAMSSENORITA impressed when making all in a maiden at Exeter recently and is hard to oppose after coasting to that 12-length success. A 7lb penalty shouldn't be an issue and, as a half-sister to a couple of winners over this sort of trip, the additional yardage is a natural step. Dance The Moon is the pick of the rest, although Back In The Bay merits a betting check now returning after wind surgery.

The most obvious answer is BLACKSAMSSENORITA, who has made a solid start to her hurdling career and comes here after a comfortable win.
Class & Speed Card

MA BELLE ETOILE is interesting on her first start for Henry de Bromhead. She posted decent form in bumpers and while hurdling didn't quite go to plan, there is still time and she will have been freshened up since switching stables. Mile End could build upon a runner-up effort at Thurles in November. She was clear of the third and the winner has gone on to better things in being placed in a Grade 3. Getaways Charm is bred to appreciate this ground and has to be considered on her first start for Gordon Elliott.

Formerly trained by the Kielys, MA BELLE ETOILE showed enough in bumpers and on the first of two hurdle starts to suggest a good chance
Class & Speed Card

The step up to 2m5f over fences ought to suit JACKPOT CASH judged on his staying-on second over an extended 2m1f at Bangor in February. James Owen's charge is open to further improvement in this discipline and could prove too strong for veteran Tom Creen, who has been admirably consistent since October. Beat The Edge looked a little outpaced over 2m4f at Newcastle on Monday but he should be on the premises once again.

This looks all about course specialist TOM CREEN, who ran well behind a progressive sort here last time and holds Beat The Edge
Class & Speed Card

Saved for this having swerved the Gold Cup, GREY DAWNING should be cherry ripe after a comfortable success at Kelso. Runner-up in the Betfair Chase before disappointing in the King George, the eight-year-old has a preference for going left-handed and remains unexposed over staying trips. Similar to the selection, Spillane's Tower didn't show his true colours in the Kempton showpiece, but he has strong claims on the form of his previous second to Fact To File in the John Durkan. Jimmy Mangan's charge may prefer softer ground, but he thrived this time last year and is a leading contender. Ahoy Senor fell in the Gold Cup, but has been runner-up in the last two renewals of this contest. Gaelic Warrior may not have shown much in two starts at Leopardstown this campaign, but he scored over 3m at Punchestown as a novice hurdler and stepping back up in trip could be a shrewd move by Willie Mullins.

In a notable clash between two very smart and largely progressive chasers, SPILLANE'S TOWER gets the vote ahead of Grey Dawning.
Class & Speed Card

The betting should be a good source of clues and while Ballela Blaze and Abbeyhill are likely to be key players, it could be worth taking a chance that PURE THEATRE is up to giving weight away all round. A respectable second to an in-form opponent at Wincanton on Monday, a repeat of that performance could suffice if this doesn't come too quickly.

She has fitness to prove today but BELLA CAVALLA is now 1lb lower than when keeping on well for second over C&D in the autumn.
Class & Speed Card

Connections reported that ADELA ICON didn't enjoy the testing ground in Punchestown, so she did well to shed her maiden tag. This ground is expected to suit her much better and improvement should be forthcoming on it. Shuffle The Deck carried a lofty reputation into a Grade 1 over C&D in January, but was pulled up. He has winning form on better ground and a good performance looks more than likely. Casheldale Lad didn't get through testing going at Navan, but should be very much at home on this surface.

A chance is taken POSITIVE ENERGY. He's unexposed, he has won on similar ground to this on the Flat and there could be more to come
Class & Speed Card

This will not take much winning and should CANCELLED, who achieved a peak rating of 84 on the Flat, take to this new discipline then she could be difficult to beat. A bad mistake at the last put paid to Lara Kaleo's chances at Hereford but that experience ought to stand the daughter of Doctor Dino in good stead, while Land Girl's Luck is fancied to be thereabouts.

Despite her lack of hurdle experience, this can go to useful Flat winner CANCELLED, who may have too much class for these rivals
Class & Speed Card

A dramatic Champion Hurdle saw CONSTITUTION HILL lose his unbeaten record when coming to grief four from home, but Nicky Henderson's superstar remains the one to beat. Returning to further should allow the 2023 winner to get into more of a rhythm, as could the flatter nature of this circuit. He put main market rival Lossiemouth in her place at Kempton on Boxing Day and it is difficult to envisage Willie Mullins' grey, who skipped the Champion Hurdle to land a second Mares' Hurdle in impressive fashion, turning that form around. Wodhooh, now seven from seven over timber after bolting up in the Martin Pipe, looks well worth a try at this significantly higher level.

Constitution Hill beat LOSSIEMOUTH in the Christmas Hurdle but the mare is taken to gain revenge over this longer trip.
Class & Speed Card

LEADING SWOOP went in by over five lengths at Fontwell on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 6lb. The nine-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to complete a double. Dear Ralphy was well beaten into third in heavy conditions on his return to the larger obstacles, but this better ground should see him in a different light off 5lb lower. Delgany Monarch is the pick of the remainder.

The one with least to prove is Leading Swoop but DEAR RALPHY is well handicapped on last spring's hurdling form and gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

MARIE'S MARCH ran really well on her last visit here and may be able to strike now. The Lucky Speed mare just failed to get up for second behind impressive winner King In Love and that form has been boosted recently with the fourth horse, Seskin Flash, winning easily at Downpatrick on Sunday. Star Official was running a solid race then before unseating at the last and could be thereabouts. The well-bred Jerrari is one to note on his handicap debut.

RIVER VALE (nap) won a point on good ground and the lightly raced 9yo should only have to repeat his Limerick run to come out on top
Class & Speed Card

OLD PAGE has won twice over C&D since November and a 3lb rise for the latest of those victories may not be enough to stop the eight-year-old from following up in this moderate event. Ann D'arabie only found one too good at Doncaster last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while C'Est Quelqu'un is another with valid form claims.

Ann D'Arabie should go well but preference is for C'EST QUELQU'UN, who didn't stay 4m last time but the return to 3m2f should suit
Class & Speed Card

Famous Clermont was successful in the 2023 renewal of this contest and comes into this event off the back of an easy success between the flags, so must be respected. Runner-up in this for the last two years, Bennys King is back for another crack at the grand old age of 14 and his triumph at Leicester confirmed he retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game, but it may pay to side with MY DROGO. The 10-year-old beat Gracchus De Balme (second) and Jet Plane (third) when victorious at Haydock in February and that might have put him spot on for this.

The stylish manner in which FAMOUS CLERMONT ran away with this race two years ago is by no means a faded memory. He has his ground.
Class & Speed Card

NARRAGANSETT justified favouritism on his handicap debut in this sphere at Sandown last month and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests. Neil Mulholland's juvenile has only been put up 5lb for that victory and could improve for this step up in distance. Shengai Enki filled the runner-up spot at Wincanton last week and is fancied to go well again. Last-time-out C&D scorer Lumi Plugin also needs to be taken seriously.

All four have chances. NARRAGANSETT is up in trip but this might not develop into too searching a stamina test.
Class & Speed Card

KING IN LOVE got an 11lb hike for his cosy success here last time but may be able to follow up. That form looks solid with the fourth horse, Seskin Flash, winning easily at Downpatrick last Sunday. The one worry for King In Love would be the drying ground. Sargent Lightfoot ran well when second over fences at Limerick recently and could be a danger now racing off a 5lb lower mark back over timber. The Nagger Reidy was second over hurdles at that Limerick meeting 11 days ago and is another for the shortlist.

The promise of decent ground should see IN FOR THE NIGHT bounce back to form after being pulled up on soft when last seen
Class & Speed Card

STAR VANTAGE was not disgraced when fourth over 3m at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago and a reproduction of that level of form may well be good enough to win this contest. Fabuleux Du Clos has not been seen over hurdles since December 2023, but he was successful on that occasion and should not be discounted on his return. Ocean Legacy won over C&D in February and is next best.

Although he's still a maiden, this can go to STAR VANTAGE, who ran respectably in a better race than this last time and he should stay
Class & Speed Card

Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore have teamed up to win this twice since 2019 and can strike again courtesy of THE FOLKES TIARA. The nine-year-old arrives fresher than most after a two-race campaign that saw him so nearly supplement a Fairyhouse Listed success at Leopardstown's Christmas fixture. My Mate Mozzie seems to dance every dance when it comes to big Festivals and ran his usual honest race in defeat in the Grand Annual. General Medrano was eighth there, with Primoz further back and never involved, although better is expected from Lucinda Russell's novice. Last year's winner Sans Bruit returns on the same mark, but has ground to make up on Dr T J Eckleburg from a meeting at Chepstow.

The change in ground conditions will catch out a few but not MY MATE MOZZIE who ran another excellent race at Cheltenham last month.
Class & Speed Card

Jorebel was able to reach the frame at Uttoxeter on Saturday and is taken to go well, but preference is for RIP WHEELER. The son of Walk In The Park plugged on into fourth over 2m at Sandown when making his handicap bow in February and, now upped in trip, it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement. Steel Dancer sports a tongue-tie for the first time and also makes some appeal.

Rip Wheeler is open to improvement over the new trip but battle-hardened MACARI gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

CULLIG got hit with a 13lb hike for her wide-margin success at Cork a fortnight ago but may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. The Walk In The Park mare reportedly wasn't straightforward at the start, but really seems to have put things together judged on her 20-length win last time and there may be more to come. Aleish Lass was a touch fortunate when scoring at Limerick three weeks ago but the form got a boost with the runner-up winning at Downpatrick on Sunday and she has to be respected. Mellem was narrowly denied at a massive price last time and is another to consider.

A chance is taken on NETTUNO ITALIA, who improved for the step up to 2m4f when an eyecatching fourth at Fairyhouse on his handicap bow
Class & Speed Card

MILAJESS arrives here on the back of three consecutive seconds in recent months and Micky Hammond's mare will not find many better opportunities to go one better. The consistent Tara Iti is likely to be in the mix once again as he is clearly on a workable mark. If a wind operation sparks some improvement, Trailblazer is another who could go well.

This is best left to TARA ITI (nap), who hasn't taken long to bounce back to form for this yard and he has plenty in his favour
Class & Speed Card

SEO LINN justified strong market support when readily winning a Listed bumper at the Cheltenham November Meeting and this has presumably been the plan ever since. The way in which she travelled and quickened that day, and given her Flat pedigree, the test that Aintree offers could be even more up her street and she gets the vote as a result. Jackie Hobbs still looked a little green when winning at Ascot but eventually won with plenty in hand. Providing this stiff test doesn't come too soon in her development, she is likely to be bang there at the finish. Charisma Cat would have beaten Kingston Queen in another couple of strides at Market Rasen and she subsequently took Listed honours at Sandown. Strong Run, Betty's Daisy and Blue Betty are others to keep an eye on.

Unbeaten JACKIE HOBBS is first choice ahead of Betty's Daisy who is another smart prospect.
Class & Speed Card

HIJO DE LA LUNA was only narrowly denied when runner-up over this trip at Newcastle last week and the five-year-old is very hard to oppose off the same mark. Tactical Control also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and the switch to a first-time visor may spark some progression. Night Arc edges out the returning Stintino Sunset to be the pick of the remainder.

This can go to NIGHT ARC, who has slipped in the weights and ran well last time. He's worth another go over this trip.
Class & Speed Card

Not the strongest looking bumper for the track and IFALLGOESWELL can go one better after a good run here back in December. The Kingston Hill gelding chased home Scope To Improve that day and that form looks solid enough. Keep Kool Coko was a beaten favourite over hurdles at Wexford on his last outing but is expected to play a big part in this. Two Pair shaped with promise when sixth to Cheltenham winner Bambino Fever on her debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and could also go well.

A chance is taken on Paul Nolan's mare TWO PAIR who shaped with promise in a strong Punchestown bumper on debut on New Year's Eve.
Class & Speed Card

PARADOXICAL's winning run came to an end when a close second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. That said, he's 2lb lower here and it would be no surprise to see him score once again. Shahbaz also filled the runner-up spot at the same venue on his most recent outing and Ian Williams' gelding should not be underestimated. The shortlist is completed by Free Speech and Cavalry Call.

Topweight PARADOXICAL (nap) bumped into one on the middle leg of a hat-trick when denied a five-timer at Wolverhampton ten days ago.
Class & Speed Card

WALNUT outran big odds when filling third place on his racecourse bow over 6f at Wolverhampton last month. With the benefit of that experience, the three-year-old could be hard to beat here. Cape Sovereign showed ability as a juvenile and has to be noted having had gelding and wind operations since his latest appearance in September. Any market support for Honest Courtesan on her debut would be interesting.

With the drop to 5f looking a plus, WALNUT should build on his Wolverhampton promise. Cape Sovereign is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Now that SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD has regained the winning thread after a determined performance over C&D last time, the eight-year-old may have plenty more to come and he can follow up off 3lb higher with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle. Narrowly denied at Lingfield on her most recent start, Rebel Star remains unexposed after just six starts, while Southbank has been consistent of late without getting his head in front.

Rebel Star is weighted to reverse last week's Lingfield placing with MIDNIGHTATTHEOASIS but it may not be that straightforward.
Class & Speed Card

A Listed winner last season, Derby entry LUTHER disappointed when last seen in the Royal Lodge but remains a colt of considerable potential at three, being by Frankel out of a mare that won the Musidora. Impressive in two starts at Kempton before a steep rise in grade caught him out in the Futurity, Detain must be a leading contender, as well as Yaroogh, who should be primed for this after a spin at Al Uqda in February.

The well-bred DETAIN could be set for a fine season and he impressed on the Kempton Polytrack last October. Luther is a danger.
Class & Speed Card

KRACKING may have gone for home too soon when weakening into fourth inside the final furlong over C&D last week. Jockey Warren Fentiman should have learnt plenty from that ride and compensation could be on the cards. Twitch arrives on the back of a creditable third at Lingfield and a similar performance should see him in the mix. Craig Benton's gelding is feared most, ahead of the returning Nammos.

Keep a close eye on the betting where Roach Power is concerned but NAMMOS has ideal conditions and can make a winning return.
Class & Speed Card

A drop in distance didn't work out as hoped for HYPE MERCHANT when coming home in fifth over 6f at Southwell 34 days ago. However, the combination of tonight's 7f trip and the application of first-time blinkers could prove just the tonic. David Loughnane's charge is taken to open his account at the main expense of Adelaide Bay, who is open to improvement on the back of a gelding procedure. No Gain and I Follow Rivers are also noted.

This looks a minefield but ADELAIDE BAY would have finished closer here with a clear run when last seen and could yet rate higher.

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.
