There were 28 Races on Tuesday 26th August 2025 across 4 meetings. There was 6 races at Ripon, 6 races at Musselburgh, 8 races at Lingfield, 8 races at Bellewstown, 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

Bay Dream Believer beat Little Ted by a neck over track and trip 10 days ago and that form is likely to be upheld. Triple Force has taken the silver medal home the last twice and should remain competitive, but POET'S DAWN gets the nod. The veteran could only manage third in a stronger event over C&D on his latest outing, but shared the spoils at Beverley prior and is just 2lb higher here.

Topweight TIME TESTED is taken to transfer his progressive AW handicap form back to turf. Triple Force is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

TORALOU has to concede weight to her younger rivals, but looks capable of doing so after going close in a handicap over this trip at Ffos Las. Mark Loughnane's filly could find this less competitive and gets the nod. Elizabeth Bay has recorded her best efforts so far on the all-weather, but may still prove a bigger danger than both Magic Boy and Tardaff.

Marginal preference is for MAGIC BOY who has been sent south for two of his three races and this longer trip is worth exploring.
Class & Speed Card

Schrodinger's Cat brings plenty of experience to the table and sets the standard with an official rating of 78, but he has failed to justify favouritism in each of his last two starts and NOBLE VOW makes more appeal. Richard Hannon's colt shaped with promise when third on debut over 6f at Salisbury and if the son of No Nay Never takes a step forward from that performance, he could prove hard to beat. Any market support behind newcomer Lady Kodiac would be interesting.

This could go to NOBLE VOW, who showed promise on his recent debut and represents a trainer with an excellent record with 2yos here.
Class & Speed Card

PORT DARWIN ran better than his finishing position suggests when fifth in maiden company at Beverley. He raced up with the pace for a long way before fading in the closing stages, and the son of Australia could prove better than his opening mark now handicapping. Panthere Noir is another to note on his nursery debut, while Lexington Express has a shout on last month's third at Chepstow.

This longer trip should suit handicap debutant MIDNIGHT RODEO who is his Newmarket stable's only runner on the card.
Class & Speed Card

Hanney Girl got off the mark at the fifth time of asking at Beverley last month and has her first attempt at a nursery. Straight Ahead showed progression when second at Musselburgh and is noted, but SINJ is worth another chance. The daughter of Too Darn Hot failed to live up to market expectations when only fourth at Thirsk, but can be excused as she bled from the nose. Off an unchanged rating, she could bounce back to score.

The filly HANNEY GIRL is the only one of these to have won previously and she is taken to follow up that victory in a maiden at Beverley
Class & Speed Card

Doralee faces a tougher assignment back in handicap company after winning a classified race at Redcar, so another chance goes to GOLDEN RAINBOW. Rebecca Menzies' sprinter returns to the minimum trip 5lb lower than when finishing third at Thirsk in June. The first two home have subsequently franked that form and a bold bid is anticipated from the son of Havana Gold. Beaumadier and Sixcor are others to consider.

Doralee beat a subsequent winner last time but BEAUMADIER has been knocking on the door and may be able to double his tally.
Class & Speed Card

KATS BOB was a creditable third from a similarly low draw in the Silver Cup over C&D 10 days ago and the seven-year-old is an attractive proposition back here. Ziggy's Ariel, a length behind in fourth in that race, also merits close inspection, while previous C&D winner Raffles Angel boasts solid credentials too. Lesley's Boy is the pick of Richard Fahey's pair and he completes the shortlist.

The veteran course specialist MARK'S CHOICE (nap) made all over C&D in June and can make it 2-2 in the cheekpieces, which go back on.
Class & Speed Card

TEMPER TRAP bounced back to form when a close second at Hamilton a couple of weeks ago and Tim Easterby's gelding has to be respected off the same mark here. The recent Beverley third Overlooked could prove to be the main threat, although Zebra Star and Jump The Gun are others who arrive here with valid form claims at their best.

Temper Trap should go well again but a chance is taken on SCARRIFF bouncing back from a lesser effort.
Class & Speed Card

Dumfries has already won three times this season and may well cope with another 5lb rise after his latest success at Beverley, but he could be worth taking on as he step back up in class. Competing off 16lb below his last winning rating, PISANELLO shades the vote, while last year's winner Jesmond Dawn is not ruled out off 1lb lower.

Last year's winner JESMOND DAWN has a good record at Ripon and earns the vote ahead of Dumfries, who is enjoying a fine season.
Class & Speed Card

SENOR CORTEZ was a wide-margin winner over 1m6f at Yarmouth and reverts to the all-weather with a big chance of following up, despite an 8lb rise. Henry Callan allowed the son of Sea The Stars to coast home in that race, which left the impression that stepping up in trip won't be much of an issue. Moel Arthur, a previous C&D winner, looks the chief danger to the selection, although Throne Hall is another doughty stayer to consider.

Moel Arthur is a solid candidate but the unexposed and progressive SENOR CORTEZ (nap) can make light of his latest 8lb rise.
Class & Speed Card

MELISSA HONEY remains a maiden, but she has been running well enough of late to suggest that she can be successful in a race of this nature. South Road scored at Ayr two starts ago and was not disgraced back at that venue last time. On that evidence, she could pose the biggest threat ahead of Law Degree and Our Nicola.

The vote goes to MELISSA HONEY who ran well over this trip in a slightly higher grade at Haydock last time.
Class & Speed Card

BURFORD BEAUTY caught the eye when finishing well in a Curragh maiden last month and can benefit from the extra furlong. Out of a half-sister to an American Grade 2 winner, she was well beaten on debut but showed much more on her second start. That form looks reasonable, with the fifth-placed horse stepping forward to win easily next time. The four-year-old Spanish Princess has shown useful form in two starts, while Snapretend displayed improvement in a hood at Limerick and although she drops markedly in distance, she should compete. Pete's Dream may be suited by reverting to this distance.

Noted staying on in a 7f handicap at Galway, SUN SOLDIER has sound prospects of staying the extra distance at this sharper track.
Class & Speed Card

DEREHAM fluffed the start at Yarmouth and did well to get up for second in the circumstances. That run can safely be forgiven and and he is better judged on his ready success over 2m at Newmarket on his previous appearance. Sea Master has form that ties in with the runner-up from that race and can figure if perked up by first-time cheekpieces. Regally Blonde and Lillistar complete the shortlist.

The 9yo DEREHAM has been in rude health this season and is taken to add to his dominant win at Newmarket in June.
Class & Speed Card

Boss Lady sets the standard after filling the runner-up slot in both of her previous starts. However, a chance is taken on LASER LUCK, who showed some promise behind Boss Lady, despite running green, on her debut at Windsor. The booking of Oisin Murphy suggests connections mean business and the Jeff Smith-owned filly offers the most intrigue. Red Eve and Betty Lemon are interesting newcomers to keep an eye on.

Money for a newcomer would change things but as things stand LASER LUCK is taken to reverse Windsor placings with Boss Lady.
Class & Speed Card

Sophiesticate has to be of interest following back-to-back seconds at Ayr, but marginal preference is for NAUGHTY NIALL. Ian Williams' gelding won at Yarmouth in July and was only narrowly denied when third at Leicester subsequently. A further 1lb rise should not prevent another bold bid and the four-year-old tops the shortlist. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wadacre Giorgio is the pick of them.

Naughty Niall would hold strong claims if seeing out the trip but in-form SOPHIESTICATE (nap) can gain a deserved success.
Class & Speed Card

ROMAN HARRY is drawn wide in 13, but this is an ordinary race and he has fair recent form. He has won just once previously from 29 starts but is capable both at this level and distance and ran well at Cork recently. He finished ahead of Draiocht, who is a lowly-rated 11-race maiden but can also compete. So Messi is a 22-race maiden who has some useful form this summer and although well held at Dundalk recently, seems better suited by easy turf ground.

Very open and perhaps a bit of value may be had in SO MESSI on the softening ground from a good draw
Class & Speed Card

GALILEO CHARM showed stacks of promise when finishing second on debut at Kempton and the Marco Botti-trained filly could be tough to deal with now she knows more about what is required. Lyra Lea has been placed in each of her three previous starts and looks dependable enough for a place on the shortlist in this company. Sovereign Bright has to enter the equation as well.

The Kempton newcomers' event in which GALILEO CHARM and Onwardupward finished second and fifth a fortnight ago may hold the key.
Class & Speed Card

DINAMINE has an unusual profile in that he has raced over a variety of distances, but is suited by this trip and ran well at Naas recently. While he has won just once from 44 starts, he finished a nose second over 1m5f in 2022 and, this year, has done well over much shorter distances. He finished strongly over 6f at Naas and should compete from a favourable draw. Famous Enough gained a first win at the 17th attempt at Cork, but is 10lb higher. Master Garvey is another to consider.

Slight preference is for the well-drawn DINAMINE, who should welcome the step up in trip and likely easier ground
Class & Speed Card

Nasim is a course scorer who returned to winning ways over 1m2f at Windsor earlier in the month and holds an obvious chance, but the vote goes to SILK AND STEEL. The Moores' three-year-old beat two subsequent winners at Brighton and is unexposed over this trip. As long as the son of El Kabeir is in similar form, he will be a tough nut to crack. Sneaky Blinder completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to PENDING APPEAL, who's been shaping like she's poised to strike again and could do better now upped in trip.
Class & Speed Card

TOFINO is a keen-goer but is progressing nicely and can defy an 8lb rise for winning at the Curragh. Out of a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, the 120,000-euro yearling purchase's initial form was ordinary but she has done well in recent months and overcame traffic to score at the Curragh. Shahada Ace won an ordinary handicap very easily at Tipperary recently and although she has been hit with a 13lb hike and now steps up in grade, she can still compete. Empress Artemis has been running consistently well and is off the same rating as when finishing second at Tipperary 18 days ago.

Recent winners Shahada Ace and Tofino demand plenty of respect, but preference is for RIZAL, who came home strongly at Galway
Class & Speed Card

Clever Jack's best effort came when pipped off a mark of 60 at Newcastle last November, but he has failed to land a blow in three starts since. The switch to the Hughie Morrison stable might spark a revival, but it may pay to side with KEEP TALKING. The daughter of Mohaather finished fifth when she stepped up to this distance at Windsor and has been dropped 1lb, with Ashley Lewis claiming a handy 7lb. Sovereign Lad is another to note.

Harryella is one of few solid options but it's worth siding with KEEP TALKING, who has shaped like there's a race in her.
Class & Speed Card

SOY EL FUEGO is chanced to improve from his debut effort, when a staying on sixth in a Curragh maiden over this distance. Ger Lyons' gelding was left with a bit to do on his first run but did show some promise as he was closing all the way to the finish. Plushy took a minor step forward on her second start and a reproduction of that form may be enough to challenge the selection here. The consistent The Right One seeks to break her duck at the sixth attempt, but she appears to be held by Plushy on the evidence of their last run.

PLUSHY(nap) has the benefit of previous course experience, when third on debut despite being green and ran well at Cork since.
Class & Speed Card

Leicester scorer Pretty Spirited is likely to be popular, especially with just a 3lb higher rating to contend with, but FINAL NIGHT looks the way to go. John Butler's charge showed a big chunk of improvement to fill the runner-up spot in this grade at Windsor earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher so could gain his first career victory. Seconds Count warrants a market check on her first outing in a handicap.

Most of these need considering. BRETTON WOOD has done most of his racing at sprint trips but he saw out the 1m fine at Ffos Las.
Class & Speed Card

ESCAPING THEJUNGLE has some questions to answer on her return but makes plenty of appeal off her current mark. Penny Mountain has her first try at this trip but she does comes into this contest as the unexposed entity and off a lightweight, she can be given a chance based on her penultimate showing. Rappell also catches the eye back at a more realistic level.

Question marks surround many so it could pay to side with top-weight BRIGID'S CLOAK, dropped in class
Class & Speed Card

SAYTARR has been thereabouts over 6f of late. Beaten only a neck when second at Kempton a week ago, the son of Mehmas looks well worth another chance racing off an unchanged mark over this extra furlong. King David should be sharper for a recent comeback and has solid claims back on the all-weather, while Maid In Chelsea returns to this lower grade with a shout.

This is trappy. Saytarr (second choice) and Flag Carrier are two to consider but the vote goes to BINT HAVANA GOLD.
Class & Speed Card

STELLAR QUALITY showed major signs of inexperience when third on debut and she was never nearer than at the finish. This daughter of Wootton Bassett is sure to come on for that run and may prove hard to beat. Tswalu arguably sets the standard, however, her inability to get her head in front causes plausible doubts after being a beaten favourite on five of her six starts. Gifted had a torrid trip on debut over this course and distance, but she has to be noted.

STELLAR QUALITY was green on debut at Killarney and should have improved nicely since so can score.
Class & Speed Card

Mary Of Modena won on the turf course here last month and should feature again now raised only 3lb. Phoenix Moon failed to get a clear run when favourite at Windsor last week and cannot be ruled out with any confidence, but it could be the turn of SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD once again. John Jenkins' veteran landed last year's renewal off a 4lb higher mark and returns to this surface with solid claims.

Travel Agent is interesting back on AW but so too is PHOENIX MOON, who has reserved her best form for this C&D.
Class & Speed Card

In what is a very competitive race, ZANAHIYR gains marginal preference over Light Up The Dark. With Josh Williamson taking 7lb off, this talented chaser is taken to double his tally on the Flat. The aforementioned Light Up The Dark is a dual bumper winner and took her form to a new level when third in a Galway handicap last time. The consistent Messerschmitt is also noted.

An improving type on the Flat, LIGHT UP THE DARK is up 4lb for a fine run at Galway but should be up to defying that

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.

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.
