There were 35 Races on Monday 9th June 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 6 races at Brighton, 6 races at Southwell, 7 races at Roscommon, 8 races at Pontefract, 8 races at Windsor, 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

POP DANCER arrives in fine form, having won at Goodwood last month before making all over course and distance. He forged clear in the closing stages and Tony Carroll's consistent sprinter is taken to confirm superiority with the runner-up Rebel Star. The latter could make more of a race of it given she reopposes on more favourable terms, while Merrimack could shape well in this lower grade.

Preference is for the resurgent 8yo POP DANCER (nap) who has won two of his last three including a dominant display over C&D last time.
Class & Speed Card

SIR ROCK never saw another rival when making all to win at Fontwell last month and Toby Lawes' unexposed chaser is fancied to defy a 6lb rise under similar conditions. Eightytwo Team has a different profile but she must be respected having bolted up from 4lb lower at Warwick latest, while the Christian Williams-trained Cave Article appeals most of the remainder.

A tight race in which five of the six can be expected to threaten. SIR ROCK only did enough at Fontwell last time.
Class & Speed Card

DAZZLING HAZE ran out of steam in the closing stages when third over the minimum trip at Thirsk on debut. The runner-up has subsequently boosted that form and the daughter of A'Ali looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence. Mission Classified found a couple too good attempting to make every yard over 6f at Goodwood, so this shorter distance will likely suit, while London Boy is a newcomer to note.

The vote goes to DAZZLING HAZE who made a promising start when third at Thirsk and that form has been boosted by the runner-up since.
Class & Speed Card

We Got Your Back has been knocking hard at the door in recent starts and he is expected to make his presence felt once again, but it is FRENCH SYMPHONY that gets the vote. The son of Mahler is related to useful chaser Another Crick so it would come as no great surprise were he to find improvement for the switch to fences - and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could help eke out more too. Ensel Du Perche can chase the pair home.

The 7yo WE GOT YOUR BACK has been running well for a while and he can jump better than when headed late on last time at Perth.
Class & Speed Card

IREZUMI is not the most straightforward, but wasn't beaten far when third in a handicap here last time, despite his usual tardy start. Jim Boyle's charge gets another chance at this lower level. Fullforward scored over course and distance last autumn and could feature if bouncing back, while Fascinating Lips will appreciate any more rain on his first start since March.

Most of these have lots to prove but IREZUMI won here last summer and he's caught the eye with his strong finishes over C&D recently.
Class & Speed Card

IOLAOS DU MOU is 6lb higher than when making all to score at Warwick last month. That rise will make things tougher, but Stella Barclay's gelding is the only real pace angle in this field and, if able to dictate, he might take all the beating again. Both Carlton and Pottersmattyeeehaa enter handicaps for the first time, which could see them to greater effect.

The James Owen-trained CARLTON enters his first handicap over hurdles soon after a solid effort in a strong handicap on the AW.
Class & Speed Card

DARYSINA GOLD was beaten a neck over C&D last Monday when benefiting from the drop back to a mile and the daughter of Golden Horn makes plenty of appeal in her bid to go one better. Buy The Dip improved from his return effort at Newbury when filling the runner-up spot here and a 2lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Others to consider are Blenheim Star and Cuban Girl.

Top of the list is DARYSINA GOLD, who went close over C&D last Monday and is a big player if she can repeat that form.
Class & Speed Card

ILESTDANCINGSPIRIT has finished an encouraging second on both starts since returning from a lengthy absence and appears capable picking up a race of this nature. Going by the official ratings, Betty's Tiara and Little Dipper are each-way players in this company. However, Nicky Henderson introduces an appealing type in the shape of Final Straw, who could be anything at this stage. Support in the betting market for this half-brother to hurdles winner Sayitfirst would be a persuasive factor.

Ilestdancingspirit has solid claims but BETTY'S TIARA has a better chance here than in her first assignment after wind surgery.
Class & Speed Card

TIME PATROL hasn't looked back since returning to turf in April with three victories here, including over C&D at the end of last month, and the five-year-old gets the vote to continue his good form. Zu Run justified favouritism over C&D last time but has to contend with a 6lb rise. With that in mind, Bint Havana Gold, who has been a model of consistency in recent months, may prove to be the bigger threat.

Preference is for TIME PATROL who made it 3-3 at Brighton when completing a course hat-trick ten days ago. Zu Run is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

JANWORTH seemed to enjoy making the running when she emerged as a ready winner at Sedgefield last month and a 6lb higher rating looks manageable for her bid to follow up. On the back of a couple of placed efforts at Warwick, Granny Hawkins could be a big threat to the selection if she continues to flourish, while Lady's Present and Oneforthefairgreen have plenty to offer from these terms and are others to seriously consider.

A chance is taken on ONEFORTHEFAIRGREEN who will be glad to see the back of fences and she was second when last ridden by Sean Bowen.
Class & Speed Card

Bear To Dream gained a fourth success here in a classified event last week and escapes a penalty. River Wharfe got the better of stable companion Poetic Force (third) and Comedian Leader (fourth) when the trio met at this track over a mile last month. KRANJCAR gets the nod, though. George Boughey's gelding can be forgiven his latest effort at Chelmsford, having stumbled leaving the stalls, and is much better judged on his C&D success the time before.

The vote goes to BEAR TO DREAM, who won a classified event over C&D last Monday and is on an unchanged mark back in a handicap.
Class & Speed Card

BIRDIE OR BUST has recent winning form and should go well dropping in distance. A Listed novice hurdle winner, she was well held on her initial chase runs and while left clear to win at Killarney, that was nonetheless a good performance. Runcok attained a higher hurdles rating of 141 than the selection and debuts under a 7lb claimer on chase debut. Itsalladream chased home a useful winner at Ballinrobe and has place claims.

A LAW OF HER OWN gets the nod. This is her optimum distance and she ran a blinder in a Grade 3 novice over C&D last September
Class & Speed Card

Ancient Times was well held on his only previous run at this venue and has something to prove on that basis, while Copper Knight is more proven on stamina-demanding courses but has only won once since scoring over C&D in July 2023. Therefore, Protest Rally (winner) and HOVER ON THE WIND (second) could be the pair to focus on. The former narrowly held sway when they clashed over track-and-trip last month. However, the latter is 6lb better off at the weights, when factoring in his rider's claim, and can turn things around.

All of the runners have claims but the vote goes to 15-time winner COPPER KNIGHT, who was only just caught at Ayr last time.
Class & Speed Card

ALWAYS BUSY banished the memory of a couple of non-completions when he won with plenty in hand over C&D last month and appears to have been placed in a very winnable race for his follow up bid. Shadows In The Sky has done well since joining James Owen and, open to improvement over the trip, he is another must for consideration. Edgewell and Myfavouritesister complete the shortlist.

The 9yo SHADOWS IN THE SKY (nap) has been another success story for James Owen and he can continue his good work back over hurdles.
Class & Speed Card

HK FOURTEEN remains unexposed on the turf and showed up well over C&D recently when keeping on well for third. Dropping 1lb will make life easier and he is narrowly preferred to Sergeant Mayer, who was denied the hat-trick when behind an in-form subsequent winner at Carlisle last time out. Turned out again quickly after a taking success over further at Goodwood on Friday, Dapperling must be of interest.

Sergeant Mayer can feature but HK FOURTEEN still has untapped potential and his reappearance was promising.
Class & Speed Card

INTHENICKOFTIME has been running well and represents an in-form yard. The selection would ideally prefer slightly further but scored over a similar distance over hurdles last August and likes good ground. Four-time winner Prince Of Air is more exposed and has three and a half lengths to find with the selection on Killarney form, but is an able performer at this level. Charlies Pride is similarly suited by conditions and ran well at Tipperary last month.

This looks a good chance for INTHENICKOFTIME to get his head in front over fences dropped back in trip after a solid run at Killarney
Class & Speed Card

Richard Fahey won the 2021 edition of this race with a similar type to LILY PEARL and this daughter of Ardad looks the most logical option after her promising fourth-placed finish over C&D on her debut last month. There's A Chance also created a favourable impression on her racecourse bow at Thirsk and cannot be ruled out given she had a legitimate excuse at Carlisle most recently, having stumbled at the start. Just A Girl and Westend Music are interesting newcomers for the shortlist.

The pick of the runners with experience is LILY PEARL. Flybar, Angela's Baar and Westend Music are interesting newcomers.
Class & Speed Card

No stranger to first-time-out winners, trainer Andrew Balding looks to have a nice filly in DICTAL, who is by Frankel out of a Listed-winning mare over this distance. Fellow newcomer Hassaleh's pedigree suggests she will want further in time, while Bella Lyra sets the standard having finished creditably behind a smart sort of Hugo Palmer's on debut at Haydock. Country Artiste and Gnocchi are other debutants to note.

This may go to a newcomer, with Hassaleh, \bCountry Artiste and DICTAL all making plenty of appeal.
Class & Speed Card

Siding with PIED PIPER would appear to be the safest course of action. Gordon Elliott's charge was formerly a very useful hurdler and has taken pretty well to the chasing game in a couple of starts over the larger obstacles. Improvement in his jumping was noted at Killarney and an uncomplicated front-running approach could well see further gains for the money-spinning chestnut. A chunky weight concession may see some go for the mare Zenta in search of a bit of value. Midnight Moonshine is next best.

PIED PIPER (nap) hacked up on his first two chase starts and he should be able to complete the hat-trick on ground he'll relish.
Class & Speed Card

Perfectly Timed and KITSUNE POWER are closely matched based on the face value of their encounter at Thirsk in April. The former only had a neck to spare over his old rival when winning that race and, armed with a 4lb pull at the weights, the latter has a big chance of gaining the upper hand this time. The hat-trick seeking Educator is another strong contender, despite going up another 4lb for a cosy success at Windsor last month.

Wind surgery has rejuvenated EDUCATOR who is taken to complete a hat-trick. Perfectly Timed is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

NAHRAAN looked a smart colt when hampered at the start and short of room at a crucial point en route to scoring on debut at Wolverhampton. Stepping up in trip is likely to bring about plenty of improvement and he should have too much for Jupiter Ammon, who was last seen rallying late in the piece over 1m at Chelmsford. Earthwatch and Relocal haven't shown much so far, but are dangerous to ignore given their connections.

Nearly all eyes will probably be on NAHRAAN who looked such an exciting prospect when winning over 8.6f on the AW at Wolverhampton.
Class & Speed Card

Connections will be keen to make up for lost time with THE ELECTRICAL KID, who can make a winning debut over fences. Hailing from the Henry de Bromhead yard and given his point-to-point background, improvement may well be forthcoming from the Malinas gelding in this discipline. It's a worry that the former Willie Mullins inmate has seen the racecourse so infrequently, but hopefully connections can get a clear run with him now. Presenting Max and On Lovers Walk are others to consider.

Preference is for ON LOVERS WALK who may be able to make his experience over fences count back in a beginners' chase.
Class & Speed Card

QUEEN OF STEEL has been in top form of late under both codes and she got off the mark on the level in impressive fashion at Nottingham last month. With a 10lb rise for that easy success potentially being lenient, the five-year-old may prove too strong for Captain Potter, who has run with credit on his last two outings without getting his head in front. Forglen had Triple Nickle (fourth) behind when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time out and both are likely to be thereabouts again.

There are alternatives but QUEEN OF STEEL has the wind in her sails and can defy an 11lb hike for winning so well at Nottingham.
Class & Speed Card

Oisin Murphy has forged a good partnership with REGAL ENVOY. The combination struck at Newmarket in April before scoring here three weeks ago and the son of Ardad can continue to defy the handicapper. Rosario had excuses at Newbury last time and is better judged on his victory in this grade at Goodwood prior to that, while Change Sings was headed in the dying strides over 6f here latest and could also have a say.

Regal Envoy and Woolhampton can go well but LAW OF AVERAGE may not have reached his ceiling and could take some pegging back.
Class & Speed Card

LUCKINTHECITY has been competing in Graded company and can show the benefit of taking a drop in class. This trip and ground would look a good fit for the selection, as he showed at Cork last October. Since then the chasing debutant has failed to complete in a couple of outings, but he has a race-fitness edge over his stable companion Uncle Pat. It should be revealing as to how the pair shape up in the market. Willie Mullins isn't the only trainer with dual representation, as Gordon Elliott fields Harsh and Heroes Rise. His pair can't be taken lightly, with similar comments applying to Brave Fortune.

This may go to BRAVE FORTUNE who has the measure of Heroes Rise on a previous clash over hurdles. He made a pleasing chase debut.
Class & Speed Card

Denied by the narrowest of margins over shorter at Beverley last time out, DISTINCTION can gain compensation stepping back up in trip off 2lb higher. That may be at the main expense of Casilli, who has been winless since July 2022, but was unlucky when making headway over this distance at Beverley last month. We Still Believe and unexposed handicap debutant Desert Of The Sea cannot be ruled out either.

Off an attractive mark returned to the scene of his last success, DISTINCTION is preferred. Right Now is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

Beauty Beyond didn't really build on her debut effort when mid-division at Chelmsford, but the well-bred daughter of Dubawi could step forward now encountering turf for the first time in a competitive setting. Even so, the choice is CHRISTMAS GIFT because she is also expected to appreciate the switch to the grass and there might be slightly more substance to her two efforts so far. Better is anticipated from Magical Idea and Karthala too.

Nine of the declarations have run but they have not accomplished much. MAGICAL IDEA is tentatively preferred.
Class & Speed Card

Having performed well when fifth in a stronger contest at Killarney recently, THE GRADUAL SLOPE shouldn't be far away. Dropped 2lb subsequently, the Sean O'Brien-trained gelding is now back on the same mark as when he won at last year's Punchestown Festival. Lightly raced over fences, Dorans Law has to be a leading contender for the in-form Philip Rothwell yard. He confirmed his well-being when runner-up at Down Royal last month. Handicap chase debutant Beggars Rock is another to consider.

A chance is taken on MICA MALPIC, who was soon out of her comfort zone over 2m a month ago when returning from a long absence.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on his return at Beverley in a contest that has worked out extremely well since, THIS YEARS LOVE may be able to dictate this from stall four and he is only 2lb higher than his last success. A creditable third on both starts this season at Leicester, Little Tiger must enter calculations again, along with Evelyn's Phoenix, who has dropped back to his last winning mark.

With his reappearance effort a solid piece of form, THIS YEARS LOVE (nap) is preferred. Sense Of Reason is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

ACCENTUATE has shown enough potential to suggest he can win at this level. Roger Varian's inmate posted a debut full of promise at Ascot last summer, and returned to action with another good effort when runner-up over 7f at Newbury. This extra furlong looks likely to suit and he's preferred to Redcar second Pebble Island. The latter warrants plenty of respect, while Dissident, a half-brother to Arc heroine Bluestocking, is another to note.

Much stronger race than the first division. ACCENTUATE finished with a flourish to be second over 7f at Newbury and looks the standout.
Class & Speed Card

A faller on his chasing debut at Limerick last month, WEST CLARE can make amends. The Brian McMahon-trained gelding had gone into that contest in good form, having won over hurdles at Listowel on his previous start. Runner-up in a point-to-point earlier in his career, the son of Leading Light deserves another chance to show he is capable of better. Derek O'Connor looks a significant jockey booking in a race such as this. Da Big Fella hasn't won in almost four years but has run some nice races in the interim. Top-weight Burru could be well handicapped.

A modest race. THEHAIRYFELLA has still to get his head in front but he's a trier and was keeping on well over a similar trip at Wexford
Class & Speed Card

Willolarupi can still make his presence felt, despite a 5lb rise for winning at Redcar last month, but it could be the turn of MINNESOTA LAD today. Ivan Furtado's sprinter posted his best effort of the year so far, when runner-up on the turf course at Lingfield, and another bold bid looks likely on that evidence. Illusionist drops in class and has a shout, especially if the forecast rain arrives.

With a combined record of 5-6 over C&D, KEEP WARM and Sir Maxi are particularly interesting returned to this scenario.
Class & Speed Card

After winning an apprentices' handicap at Doncaster, Ocean Heights made the most of avoiding a penalty when he followed up at Haydock within a week last month. A 4lb higher rating is fair for the hat-trick bid and another bold showing looks likely. However, conceding 9lb to fellow last-time-out winner MREMBO could be his undoing here. The selection is a previous C&D winner that has won races back-to-back before and has a strong chance of emulating the feat. Carp Kid and Boy George are other appealing options.

Boy George would look the most likely winner on several counts but a chance is taken that ALPINE STROLL can repeat his 2024 revival.
Class & Speed Card

FIERCE found himself trapped on the rail over 5f at Beverley last time and will have likely finished closer than fourth with a clear run. However, that effort confirmed he arrives in good order and the son of Dandy Man is taken to launch a serious challenge. It would be no surprise to see a better effort from The Good Biscuit in this lower grade, while Loving Apprentice won her maiden here last autumn and will be sharper for last month's comeback.

With a combined record of 5-7 at Pontefract, the most interesting contenders are PROFITEER, Loving Apprentice and May Blossom.
Class & Speed Card

BAY OF DREAMS had plenty in hand when winning over an extended mile at Nottingham last week and looks the type to cope with a 6lb penalty. The step up in trip is also a potential source for improvement and, with the ground forecast to be suitable, James Ferguson's unexposed filly readily looks the way to go. Pistrucci has track-and-trip experience and is feared the most on that basis, while support in the betting for handicap debutant Three On Thursday would make her a tempting proposition.

Live Each Day is respected but BAY OF DREAMS (nap) can win again. Girls Night Out and Stardrop are new to handicaps.

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.
