There were 37 Races on Monday 28th April 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 7 races at Ayr, 8 races at Lingfield, 8 races at Windsor, 7 races at Naas, 7 races at Wolverhampton, 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

Given her rider had problems removing the blindfold at Thirsk six days ago, INANNA shaped better than the bare form in third. Jim Goldie's mare makes grand appeal dropping into class 6 company and she looks poised to strike. The biggest threat may emerge from Ramon Di Loria, who warrants respect reverting to 6f. Royal Duke has shaped as if this longer trip could unlock some improvement and the four-year-old completes the shortlist.

C&D winner RAMON DI LORIA (nap) arrives in good form and can capitalise on the drop back in trip. Royal Duke is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Having finished second past the post at Wolverhampton, Easter Icon was awarded the race in the stewards' room. However, the six-year-old is effectively 6lb higher without George Bass' claim and preference is for THE COLORIST. Karen Jewell's charge appreciated a refitted visor when touched off at Chelmsford and a 1lb nudge up the ratings looks workable. The down-in-grade Doublethetrouble is also worth a second look.

On the back of a good effort, THE COLORIST is preferred. Doublethetrouble is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

BIN AJWAD didn't enjoy the best of passages on his debut fourth at Newcastle earlier this month and compensation could be on the cards. The Magna Grecia colt impressed with how he travelled and this switch to turf shouldn't pose any issues. Tee Aitch Aye offered enough to work with on his fourth-placed opening bid at Musselburgh to suggest that he could play a hand in the finish, along with In A Hurry.

It may pay to take a chance on the debutant COULSEA, whose trainer Craig Lidster has had a few newcomers run well this spring.
Class & Speed Card

DIAMONDONTHEHILL looked to find 6f too sharp on his recent fourth here and he ticks plenty of the right boxes returning to 7f. A slight drop in the ratings/class can also help the seven-year-old's bid and a sixth career victory could be on the cards. Rey De La Batalla was somewhat underwhelming when sixth over C&D, but it is too soon to be writing him off. Simon Dow's gelding is feared most, ahead of Bell Shot.

This looks the time to catch STATE FLAG (nap) and she's on a workable mark to boot. Diamondonthehill is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

Youfillupmysenses showed decent early speed before weakening to finish eighth on her debut at Thirsk 16 days ago and that sharpness should stand her in good stead. However, Tim Easterby's filly is vulnerable to a newcomer and it may be worth chancing SOCIETY OF HONOR. The son of Nando Parrado boasts plenty of speed in his pedigree and any market support would increase confidence. Fellow debutant Mr Nippy is also worth a second look.

Irish challenger NUEVO SLOVO was soundly beaten on his debut at Dundalk but in a warm race and he could be a lot sharper today.
Class & Speed Card

Having ended last year's campaign with a good second at Southwell, KITTY FURNIVAL could be worth chancing on her return to action. The daughter of Zarak looks more than capable of scoring at this level and she edges the vote over Youthful King. Luke Dace's inmate arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Newbury and he isn't taken lightly reverting to the C&D of his last triumph. Sax Appeal completes the shortlist.

There may still be further improvement to come from KITTY FURNIVAL, who gets the vote ahead of Surrey Fire.
Class & Speed Card

SPIRIT OF ACKLAM is entitled to be sharper for this after running fresh at Doncaster on his reappearance. He was beaten less than a length when third here back in October behind Can't Stop Now, and the son of Cracksman has a fitness edge over that rival as he looks to turn the tables. Sea Regal won her maiden over 1m2f and is worth noting on her debut for David O'Meara's yard.

This could go to the reappearing CAN'T STOP NOW, who won over C&D on two of his final four outings last term.
Class & Speed Card

GO GO BOOTS left a good impression when scoring over a mile here at the first time of asking. The daughter of Night Of Thunder and Oaks entrant will likely relish this extra test of stamina and is taken to defy her penalty. Magical Idea belongs to the family of Eclipse winner Mukhadram and any strong support for the Haggas newcomer could prove significant, while Knickerbocker can only improve on last year's moderate debut effort representing a yard in top form.

Course winner GO GO BOOTS is the clear form choice and well-bred Magical Idea is the more interesting of the two debutantes.
Class & Speed Card

Starliner has been threatening a return to winning ways, but his chance has been compromised by a wide draw. YAASER looks a safer proposition, given he returned to the fray with a fine third at Redcar and Jim Goldie's inmate can make the most of this drop in class. Our Dagger landed a double at Kempton at the start of the year and can feature if carrying over that form to the turf.

Preference is for STARLINER, who was placed in higher-grade company recently and benefits from Tommie Jakes' useful 5lb claim today.
Class & Speed Card

CITY OF POETS ran well in defeat when runner-up at Thirsk on his introduction. James Tate's colt finished clear of the rest of the field and will be hard to keep out of the finish with improvement likely. L'Karama is another with solid claims, having followed a promising debut effort with an even better performance at Wolverhampton. Newcomer Al Durry is a daughter of American Pharoah and has to be of interest.

The strongest form contenders are CITY OF POETS and L'Karama, while nicely bred Al Durry looks the pick of the newcomers.
Class & Speed Card

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to CUPOLA. The Clive Cox-trained daughter of Harry Angel has shown clear ability in her three starts to date, all on the all-weather. She looks certain to relish the switch to turf and an opening mark of 68 looks well within range. Both Valsharah and Camera Shy were too keen over 7f at Newmarket last time out so the drop in trip could be of benefit. Style King is another to consider having struck the woodwork at Wolverhampton.

Preference is for CUPOLA, who showed clear promise in her qualifying runs and is bred to be much better than this opening mark.
Class & Speed Card

CITY OF STRANGERS made a mockery of an opening mark of 55 when recording an impressive success at Redcar last Monday and Ivan Furtado's filly might be hard to stop under the penalty. That said, Catterick scorer Barmyblade is only 2lb higher and must be respected along with Another Bungle, who could find improvement pitched into a handicap for the first time.

It's hard to oppose CITY OF STRANGERS, who won a 15-runner handicap very comfortably last week and can overcome a 6lb penalty here.
Class & Speed Card

Five days on from coming within a whisker of justifying favouritism over C&D, JUST TEN HIGH is turned out again in an attempt to make amends. That quick turnaround means he is able to compete off the same mark and he can take full advantage. Libra Tiger made a pleasing enough start to his 2025 campaign when fourth over track and trip. He might be the primary threat, although General Assembly and Southbank shouldn't be too far away.

On the back of a good C&D effort, JUST TEN HIGH holds particularly strong claims. Southbank is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Special Ghaiyyath sets the standard with an official rating of 76 and he's of considerable interest back on the grass after posting a couple of positive efforts at Wolverhampton recently. A chance is still taken on FANTASY WORLD, who can be forgiven a lacklustre debut performance given the testing ground conditions that day. He ought to progress throughout the year but it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement on his return, especially now he has been gelded. Chelsea Old Church is also noted.

The vote goes to SPECIAL GHAIYYATH, who went close at Wolverhampton 23 days ago and his best form last season was a second over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

SIMPLY ASTOUNDING indeed has a breathtaking pedigree, being by Wootton Bassett and out of top racemare Minding, and debuts at a nice time of year for Royal Ascot hopefuls. Her trainer has won this race three times since 2018 - when the high-class Fairyland scored - and while the selection will ultimately graduate to longer distances, Minding won her maiden at this distance prior to winning seven Group 1 races. Spring Is Here cost 225,000 euros and is a sister to Group 3-winning sprinter Castle Star, who went close in the Middle Park. Sunday River is out of a winning dam, but debuts in blinkers.

SIMPLY ASTOUNDING is a half-sister to Henry Longfellow who won all three of his 2yo starts and she is taken to make a winning debut
Class & Speed Card

FLYING SCOTSMAN kept on well to finish third over 1m4f at Catterick last time out, an effort for which the handicapper dropped him 1lb. The extra furlong looks a real positive for Ben Haslam's charge and he's fancied to come out on top. Agathon travelled powerfully into contention over 2m at Nottingham recently but having weakened approaching the furlong mark, he could benefit from a drop in trip. Others to note include Crystal Guard and Glasses Up.

Ben Haslam's FLYING SCOTSMAN did not have the race run to suit when third at Catterick this month and can be given another chance.
Class & Speed Card

Calanthe was caught close home at Kempton and is expected to give another bold sight from the front. He may have to settle for a supporting role again, though, if DARVEL turns up in the same form that carried him to victory on his Bath comeback. His ordinary all-weather record can be ignored, given his limited experience on artificial surfaces. Union Island was beaten less than a length over C&D last week and returns on the same rating. Mr Fustic was a place ahead of Francesi when fourth in a separate division of the Kempton contest in which Calanthe was pipped.

The return to this C&D may well enable CALANTHE to double his tally. Hoornblower is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

ABUNDANCE made an eyecatching debut at Wolverhampton in October having been repeatedly denied a clear run in the home straight, and that effort sets the form standard. He returns to action with his stable among the winners and if appreciating the switch to turf, he could be hard to beat. The booking of Oisin Murphy for Sea Founder looks noteworthy and he's considered along with Bondi, who will find this easier than the Wood Ditton he contested on his introduction.

The vote goes to ABUNDANCE, who was an eyecatcher at Wolverhampton and is open to plenty of progress upped in trip on his return.
Class & Speed Card

PICKERSGILL won a maiden last month and should compete on her handicap debut. She progressed late well last year and scored on soft ground at the Curragh, with the form reasonably strong as the runner-up subsequently finished second to a capable type at Gowran. Sarahmae readily won an ordinary 5f Tipperary handicap on Thursday and although she can progress, she carries a 7lb penalty. Dmaniac has useful recent soft-ground form and debuts in handicaps, while Unique Journey also likes give underfoot and wasn't beaten far here last month.

A chance is taken on DMANIAC who looks potentially well treated dropping back to 6f on handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

The booking of Simon Walker is often a good indicator in these types of contests and, with that in mind, WYVERN gets the nod. Patrick Morris' charge has found some form in recent weeks and off 2lb below his last winning mark, a fifth career success could be imminent. Al Suil Eile was a shade unfortunate at Beverley on Thursday but even so he's been more effective on an artificial surface and is respected. Mr Trick is another to consider.

Annalee Lass's record over C&D entitles her to some respect, but MASTEROFGREYGOOSE will find this easier than last time.

Class & Speed Card

John & Thady Gosden won a division of this contest in 2023 and both divisions last year. The yard is represented by Dante and Derby entrant TYCOON and the son of Kingman should excel over this longer distance, having finished third over 7f at Sandown last term behind subsequent Greenham winner Jonquil. Kempton fourth Noble Horizon is also in the Dante and Derby, while Relocal and Glazia are newcomers to note.

The most striking contender is TYCOON, who holds a Derby entry and showed plenty of promise with his third at Sandown last August.
Class & Speed Card

NOBLE NATION won doing handstands over C&D and can defy the handicapper's 15lb rise to go in again. A speedily-bred half-brother to Listed winner Primo Uomo, he initially tried middle-distances but has found his niche in sprints. He remains unexposed and although 1lb out of the handicap, his rider claims 5lb. Cuban Grey is in excellent heart and likes soft ground, but all his best form is over 5f. The in-form Collective Power is ground-versatile but competes from a career-high mark, while the veteran Laugh A Minute is 5lb higher than when winning at the Curragh.

The Ger O'Leary yard is three-handed but easy last-time C&D winner NOBLE NATION could defy a 15lb rise with a capable 5lb claimer atop
Class & Speed Card

Not a particularly daunting standard to aim at and the vote goes to GORDON NORSE. The gelded son of Kodi Bear hit the frame over C&D on his racecourse bow in October and although he's not been seen since, natural improvement is likely to suffice. Captain Parma has shown ability on both of his starts to date, while 52,000gns purchase Dream Angel warrants close inspection ahead of her debut.

Jack Jones has been in excellent form and GORDON NORSE earns the vote having been a promising third over C&D on his sole run.
Class & Speed Card

FIRST OFFICER made a winning seasonal debut in this contest last year and is taken to repeat the dose. The son of Galileo won again at Newmarket in September and can launch another strong challenge off a similar mark. Expert Witness enters calculations on the back of a decent second over 1m4f at Leicester, while Silver Gunn could only manage fourth in last year's renewal but could finish closer this time on more favourable terms.

This is a drop in grade for PROMETHEAN (nap), who looked unlucky not to finish closer than seventh in the Spring Mile at Doncaster.
Class & Speed Card

BIG GOSSEY has 6lb to find on ratings with My Mate Alfie, but is better suited by conditions and comes here in top form. They met four times last year, with Big Gossey only coming out best when getting weight from My Mate Alfie in a premier handicap at the Curragh in July, but he is better suited to soft ground and has proven pace for this distance. My Mate Alfie is himself a smart Group 3 winner, but his best form is on a faster surface. Notably, he also competes at 5f for the first time. Two Stars receives 3lb from the aforementioned pair and while he steps out of handicap company, he loves testing ground and this trip.

This looks a good opportunity for MY MATE ALFIE to make a winning return. He looks a potential Group 1 sprinter in the making.
Class & Speed Card

I FOLLOW RIVERS wasn't able to justify favouritism when behind Hype Merchant (second) on his reappearance at Chelmsford recently. It was still a pleasing return to action, though, and he's expected to reverse that form with the run under his belt. Sharon Curly kept on well for fourth over 6f at Catterick last time out and this extra furlong may well spark further improvement.

Kilteel will be happier back down in trip minus the hood, but I FOLLOW RIVERS is open to greater improvement and is preferred
Class & Speed Card

KINETIC returned the ready winner at Lingfield just five days ago. A penalty for that success is negated by her rider's allowance and James Owen's filly can go in again back on the turf. Queen's Company won over 1m4f at the end of last year and a recent spin over a shorter trip will have blown any cobwebs away, while Forest Spirit failed to fire at Wolverhampton last time but is not easily dismissed.

Top of the list is C&D winner KINETIC, who won in good style off a reduced mark on Polytrack last Wednesday.
Class & Speed Card

SUBSONIC made a pleasing debut when beating all bar the odds-on Minnie Hauk over a mile at Leopardstown last autumn, with Kalixa nearly four lengths behind in fifth. She hails from a yard in decent form and should appreciate this step up in trip. Guarded also showed promise on debut at Leopardstown last October, but struggled when reappearing on heavy ground here last month. Thilos made a bright start at Galway last back end and is another for the shortlist, with riding arrangements suggesting she's preferred to Onaqui. Juniper Sling is from a family that Ger Lyons has done well with and any market move would be significant.

Of those with form in the book, SUBSONIC and Thilos appeal most, with preference for the former who should enjoy this trip
Class & Speed Card

Crepe Suzette will have her supporters having gone close over a slightly shorter trip here when last in action. She has sound claims, but MYTHICAL BIRD looks to have the stronger form. She found only one too good at Chelmsford in October and, given the winner went on to finish a good fourth in Listed company, Hughie Morrison's filly gets the vote. True Colors may prove best of the rest.

The impeccably bred Bintnouf is an interesting newcomer. CREPE SUZETTE helps set the standard she's gunning for.
Class & Speed Card

HERKEIOS supplemented his close-up second at Newcastle with a respectable third at Yarmouth earlier this month. The Zoustar gelding races off an unchanged mark and he could be ready to open his account. Skyelight returned from a 143-day break to finish third at Lingfield recently and reverting to turf shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Market support for handicap debutant Paragon would be interesting.

Preference is for HERKEIOS who has been knocking on the door and looks sure to be thereabouts. Skyelight rates as the main danger.
Class & Speed Card

SCOTT KEY relished cut in the ground when scoring impressively over this trip at Gowran last Wednesday and may prove difficult to beat under a 7lb penalty. The Andy Slattery-trained gelding easily drew clear in the final furlong and might have most to fear from Wizard Of Odds, who had Sir Jeremy over seven lengths behind in third, with another couple of these rivals further adrift, when runner-up in the Madrid Handicap here. Galway maiden winner Tribal Nation switches to handicap company after finishing fifth to Henri Matisse in a Leopardstown Group 3 and may prove the pick of Joseph O'Brien's four runners. Mississippi River, Bishopton and Mister Adam are others to consider.

A 7lb penalty is unlikely to stop cosy Gowran handicap winner SCOTT KEY(nap) from following up once this race doesn't come too soon
Class & Speed Card

Colors Of Freedom made every yard when scoring here in October, while Street Life attempted to make all when runner-up at the track last month. That pair should ensure a good pace and could set the race up nicely for HENERY HAWK. Linda Perratt's sprinter returns to the Tapeta with every chance, having placed off higher marks over the minimum trip at Newcastle on a couple of occasions in March.

Attractively handicapped ELLIOTT (nap) has rejoined Rebecca Menzies and looks interesting returned to this C&D.
Class & Speed Card

Having just held on to score over 6f at Lingfield recently, Harry Brown warrants respect. However, a quick turnaround and 5lb penalty could leave the five-year-old vulnerable, which could leave the door open for TORFRIDA. Pam Sly's mare arrives on the back of a close-up second at Pontefract and a 2lb rise in the ratings is far from insurmountable. Triple course scorer Bama Lama could also go well.

Preference is for last year's winner ANTIPHON who is 15lb lower than last year. The big danger is Torfrida who was second last time.
Class & Speed Card

SHARE THE TREASURE should benefit from two outings this term and caught the eye when finishing strongly from off the pace to take fourth behind Genuine Jim over this trip at Cork. She appears quite versatile as her best run last year was over 7f on good ground at Gowran and she can improve past Cork third Higher Kingdom. Storm Eric has gained all three career wins at Dundalk and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages before coming home strongly when third to Brains in a 20-runner Leopardstown handicap last month. Are You In Or Out has only gone up 4lb for winning at Leopardstown, while Harry The Rogue is another to note.

A chance is taken on SHARE THE TREASURE, who was running on well at Cork last time and has a helpful low draw.
Class & Speed Card

Having recently shown that he is still in good heart when second on his reappearance at Ripon, ABERAMA GOLD makes grand appeal reverting to Tapeta. A 1lb rise in the ratings looks more than fair and compensation could be on the cards. Phoenix Beach's winning run came to an end at Bath eight days ago, but better is expected on this switch to the all-weather, while Nazron should be noted too.

A chance is taken on NAZRON, who hinted at a possible return to form in a Class 2 turf race this month and has slipped to a good mark.
Class & Speed Card

SYNERGISM left his heavy defeats in novice company behind when landing a gamble over an extended 1m1f here seven days ago. The son of Soldier Hollow is sure to prove a warm order stepping up further in trip and he could make light work of a 6lb penalty. Battle Stride is a potential fly in the ointment on his handicap bow and market support would be interesting. Himself is the pick of the remainder.

It's hard to oppose SYNERGISM, an archetypal Prescott horse who displayed huge improvement when upped in trip for his handicap debut.

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.
