There were 36 Races on Thursday 25th September 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 7 races at Newmarket, 7 races at Perth, 7 races at Pontefract, 7 races at Listowel, 8 races at Newcastle, 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

MALTESE CROSS shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on debut at Ascot and, with normal improvement, the son of Sea The Stars can go one better. That may be at the main expense of costly purchase Del Maro, who looks like a work in progress for leading connections, despite having an entry in the Futurity Trophy next month. Moonlight Warrior is an interesting newcomer by Gleneagles to consider, especially if there is market support.

Godolphin's DEL MARO has run well to be placed on his first two starts and could have more to offer now back on better ground.
Class & Speed Card

The Gordon Elliott-trained KENISA SPORT is hard to overlook. The ready winner of a bumper at Downpatrick before she routed the opposition in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Kilbeggan, the daughter of No Risk At All looks very capable of handling a penalty while stepping up in trip. Herja also impressed when winning at Sedgefield three weeks ago and can make this a good test for the selection, with her stamina more proven at this stage. Mountain Molly and Kottayam complete the shortlist.

It's interesting that BIGLESISBACK was sent to Punchestown for her bumper debut and she's bred to be a good horse.
Class & Speed Card

CANARIA QUEEN has turned a corner since landing classified honours at Nottingham in July, notching up two further wins since, and she finished a creditable second at Hamilton on Sunday. Jack Dickson takes a handy 7lb off her back and with no concerns regarding ground, this looks another fine opportunity. Previous C&D winner Glendown has been a little frustrating of late but he's become well handicapped as a result and is proven soft ground. Papa Don't Preach is also noted.

The mare CANARIA QUEEN has been in rude health of late and can go one better than when runner-up at Hamilton on Sunday.
Class & Speed Card

Smart bumper performer CARRIGMOORNASPRUCE can make a winning start over timber. Declan Queally's charge won three times last season, wrapping up her campaign with an impressive victory in the Grade 3 mares contest at Punchestown. She is an exciting prospect for hurdling this term. Aruntothequeen, a Listed bumper winner, has jumping experience in the bag having been third over timber at Cork last November and looks like an obvious danger. Woodland Adventure is unbeaten in three outings. The summer bumpers she won may not have been as strong but she obviously commands respect, as does recent Down Royal winner Run For Mahler. Her form got a boost here on Sunday when Good Girl Kathleen made a winning start over timber.

Some quality mares in this, none more so that the Grade 3 Punchestown bumper winner CARRIGMOORNASPRUCE and she is selected.
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of MONOCEROS for the connections who have won this for the past two years. The son of Dubawi put in a disappointing effort at Leicester when a short-priced favourite, but he won on the July Course here before that and stepping up to 1m is expected to suit as he bids to see off the likely challenge of easy Lingfield scorer Loblolly. Dark Shore's form in maidens has been well franked by the winners.

Charlie Appleby has won the last two runnings and can make it three in a row with MONOCEROS, who could relish the step up to 1m.
Class & Speed Card

INOX ALLEN seemed to revel in his pace-setting role when he made all in a similar event over C&D when last seen and resumes with the scope to overcome an 11lb rise on just his third start over fences. The Irish raider Lightkeeper also won over track and trip on his latest start and should be a key player with Sean Bowen retaining the ride. The runner-up from that race, King Roly, is a closely-matched old rival of the latter and is capable of another bold showing.

Lightkeeper got loose on the lead before repelling KING ROLY here recently and the Bowen horse is taken to gain his revenge.
Class & Speed Card

A confident vote goes to SPANISH WALTZ, who made a highly-pleasing introduction at Ffos Las recently. Ralph Beckett's charge travelled strongly before weakening late on over an extended 7f that day, so a drop in trip looks likely to be of benefit. Napolian boasts an official rating of 75 and is undoubtedly the main threat, while Dontwaste A Moment can chase the pair home.

The Ralph Beckett-trained SPANISH WALTZ is from a family of sprinters and can get off the mark now down in trip on his second start.
Class & Speed Card

All eyes here will be on last year's Cheltenham bumper runner-up HEADS UP on his jumping bow. The Blue Bresil gelding ran a big race at Prestbury Park in March when chasing home Bambino Fever and he should be hard to beat on his return. The Man's Room may be the one to give him most to do. Colm Murphy's charge comes here race-fit and was a solid second at Bellewstown on his last outing. He is tried in cheekpieces now. Found A Diamond shaped with promise in a couple of strong maiden hurdles last winter and ran well in a Limerick bumper when last seen in January. He could be place material now.

All eyes on Champion Bumper second HEADS UP who makes his debut over hurdles. He should win comfortably with a trouble-free round.
Class & Speed Card

Not beaten far behind Angel Shared and Shallow in recent starts on the July Course, ARABIAN LEOPARD remains on a nice rating and returning to the Rowley Mile should be ideal. A winner over 7f here in May, David Simcock's charge can stay on stronger than the likes of narrow Yarmouth runner-up Lady Roxby and Royal Velvet, who tries 6f for the first time after landing a valuable handicap at York last month.

Royal Velvet finished in front of SHALLOW (nap) at York last month but the placings can be reversed back at 6f.
Class & Speed Card

A few of these have been struggling to find their form and are due for a ratings drop in future handicaps. With that in mind, Top Flight Century, Cosmic Soul and BURNING IT UP are suggested as the trio to focus on, with the last-named shading a narrow vote after finishing second to an upwardly-moble rival over C&D in April. Resuming off the same mark, the low-mileage five-year-old won't need much of a step forward to carry top-weight to victory in this company.

The pick is TOP FLIGHT CENTURY, who has remained in good form since his course win in July.
Class & Speed Card

Karl Burke landed the corresponding event in 2023 and he could do so once more courtesy of ALASKAN LIGHT. Victorious in a seller when last seen in June, the daughter of Kodiac enters nurseries from an opening mark of 74, which could prove lenient if taking the form of her debut second at face value. Visored for the first time, consistent colt Lucky Hero looks a player, as does recent Bath scorer Runamara, who will have no issue with forecast ground conditions.

The consistent LUCKY HERO has gone close in both nurseries and is taken to get off the mark in a first-time visor.
Class & Speed Card

A really competitive looking renewal and MONEY DANCER may prove the pick off a nice low weight. The Noel Meade-trained filly came good in style at Galway last time and looks on an attractive mark now on her first handicap start over timber. Shaboozee is progressive and comes here on a hat-trick. He impressed with the style of his victory at Ballinrobe last month and a strong pace here would suit him as he appears to stay well. Top-weight Puturhandstogether was sent off favourite for the Galway Hurdle but made little impression there after getting left a bit at the start. He ran well on the Flat last time and is respected with Peter Smithers taking off 7lb.

Unlucky when a close third in a Galway handicap hurdle, with some of these behind, MESSERSCHMITT (nap) can make amends today.
Class & Speed Card

An intriguing contest with a host of promising youngsters heading to post, but perhaps none more so than ARCHER ROYAL. The Blue Point colt looked in need of the experience at Chelmsford, but that didn't stop him from coming home best of all and he has an entry in the Futurity Trophy next month. Distant Storm was a shade disappointing in the Acomb, but it's far too early to be writing him off and he remains of interest for a trainer who won this in 2020 and 2021. Commander's Intent is also noted.

The 1,900,000euros Godolphin colt DISTANT STORM did well to finish third in the Acomb at York having pulled hard and he earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Back to form with a relatively comfortable success at Hexham last time out, UPFORDEBATE remains unexposed at this distance and a 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient. In excellent form of late in Irish point-to-points, Cosmic Blizzard is an intriguing recruit to the Russell and Scudamore stable. He is likely to have a say, along with the capable but inconsistent Sean Og.

A trappy race as most of these are prone to off-days. SAFE DESTINATION lacks a run but has an admirable record over fences.
Class & Speed Card

GASPACHO, who cost 50,000gns as a yearling, was evidently expected to do better when she was sent off favourite for a maiden at Haydock on her debut. However, she ran green that day and created the impression that 7f wasn't quite a sufficient test. Stepping up to a mile now she has experience can see this daughter of Ghaiyyath in a much better light. Grindleton and Forever Perfect are also potential improvers, while Charlotte Corday is an interesting newcomer.

There's a strong suspicion GASPACHO can take a good step forward from her introduction this month and get off the mark.
Class & Speed Card

Drying ground will suit PAUL'S DREAM. She made the breakthrough with a comfortable success at Wexford and then acquitted herself well when runner-up in a higher grade than this at Kilbeggan. Ifitwasme has two course victories to his name, including in this race last year. He has been freshened up since disappointing on the Flat at Killarney in July and a big run wouldn't be surprising. Fast Felix has Listowel form in the book and delivered in a maiden hurdle at Killarney, which brings him into contention. Fool Me Once, Targa Flavio and Wardens Whisper are others with chances.

A chance is taken on last year's runner-up TARGA FLAVIO to go one better, with improvement to come from his Wexford comeback run.
Class & Speed Card

Having been gelded after a lacklustre performance in the Princess Of Wales's Stakes, PALLADIUM cut a rejuvenated figure at Salisbury recently. The son of Gleneagles made all to hammer a small field and, if kicking on, this contest could be his for the taking. Live Your Dream is the main threat on official ratings and although absent for 732 days, he almost defied a lengthy layoff in 2023. Strassia struggled in the Park Hill at Doncaster, but this is just her second start for the David O'Meara team and it would be folly to write her off.

With chief form rival Live Your Dream absent for two years this has the look of a good opportunity for PALLADIUM.
Class & Speed Card

A tentative vote goes to CHASING FIRE, who was talented enough to contest a Supreme Novice Hurdle in 2023 and hinted at a return to form when third over shorter here in April. A chase winner here before, Olly Muphy's charge should appreciate going back up in trip and he is narrowly preferred to the hat-trick-seeking Imperial Data, who has been raised another 4lb. The Real Whacker landed the Charlie Hall last November and this contest can tee him up nicely for another competitive campaign over the larger obstacles.

Preference is for IDEM, who did well last season and could still have a bit more to offer if aided by first-time blinkers today.
Class & Speed Card

After a brace of C&D wins, Raulin commands respect with his effectiveness at this venue not in doubt. However, WAVE RIDER has been very consistent of late and he may be the pick of the three-year-olds with drying ground in his favour. Twirling is the pick of the older horses despite having a stamina question to answer. Calla Lagoon is also notable running for a stable that won the 2020 edition of this race.

Three-year-olds have won the last two renewals of this historic handicap and RAULIN can complete a C&D hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

SHADOW PADDY will appreciate conditions and could go in again. He hit form with a vengeance in May when posting victories at Tipperary and Limerick, which saw him go off favourite for a good pot at Killarney. He finished unplaced, but that may have been down to the slower ground. He then ran creditably in fourth at Bellewstown and ought to appreciate this lower grade. Duty Bound is dangerous now returned to 2m4f as he obliged at this track in May and at Killarney in July. Jolie Jewel has been in a consistent vein of form since March without winning. Love At Sea, Positive Thinker and Malina Girl will have their supporters.

Gavin Cromwell has a useful hand and NOTICEBOX had been progressing well in maidens until an excusable failure last time.
Class & Speed Card

Hugo Palmer won this last year with a three-year-old and is back for more with My Kinda Ghaiy, who races off bottom weight on his second start since being gelded. He has to be respected, but SHRIMP SHADY gets the vote. Returning from close to a year off when a distant third at Kempton, he may have needed the race more than connections thought and can only improve for it. First Officer has won twice here over shorter and is another to consider.

A consistent profile this year makes SECRET BEACH the solid option here.
Class & Speed Card

You Some Girl seems sure to prove popular here as he races off the same mark as when winning a conditional jockeys' event at Uttoxeter last week. Due to go up 4lb in future, he is clearly well handicapped but had a tough race on that occasion, so THE FLYING POET is preferred. Second on his last two starts, a tongue-tie is added to aid his breathing and he might have more to offer as a six-year-old. Evenwood Sonofagun could follow them home.

With no penalty for her Uttoxeter win and Charlie Maggs able to claim his 5lb, YOU SOME GIRL (nap) is preferred to The Flying Poet.
Class & Speed Card

MUKHTALIF will not find a better opportunity than this. William Haggas' charge shouldn't be inconvenienced by a switch to the all-weather given his half-brother was a winner on Polytrack and is expected to take all the beating. Pride Of Donegal has something to find on official ratings but looks the main threat despite an absence, while market support for Royal Army, who hasn't been seen since June 2023, must be taken seriously.

It's hard to see past MUKHTALIF who has the best form and a potential fitness edge over Pride Of Donegal and Royal Army.
Class & Speed Card

Sonic Pioneer carries a 6lb penalty after winning by nearly four lengths at Beverley last week, but he steps up to this trip for the first time and is not guaranteed to stay. KITSUNE POWER was beaten a long way at Southwell on his latest start, but he drops two grades here and has a C&D third off 3lb higher in July to his name. Tequila has a shot to make the frame.

It's well worth siding with 6yo KITSUNE POWER, who has gone well over C&D and looks to be on a handy mark.
Class & Speed Card

MOSSY FEN PARK has gone well fresh before and could return with a victory. He was a Grade 2 runner-up over flights and was placed in beginners chases at Down Royal and Punchestown behind high-class winners towards the end of 2024. Oscars Brother was a satisfactory second on his chasing debut at Tipperary in May and the third home has since proven good enough to win decisively in Roscommon. Uncle Pat would need to jump better than he did when finishing mid-division at Galway. He is highly likely to have had plenty of schooling since then, though.

A good race. MOSSY FEN PARK chased home quality opposition in his first two races over fences and is preferred to Oscars Brother.
Class & Speed Card

Three-year-olds have a good record in this, making up six of the last 10 winners, and GORGEOUS MR GEORGE can enhance the record. A running-on half-length second over 7f at Yarmouth last week, he will appreciate the extra yardage and is 3lb well-in. Just Typical was raised 7lb after an easy victory at Redcar, but that doesn't come into effect yet so he can go close under his 5lb penalty. Savvy Kingdom might chase them home.

Having won easily at Redcar last Tuesday, JUST TYPICAL(nap) can defy a 5lb penalty and post his sixth win of the year.
Class & Speed Card

The Twiston-Davies team do well at Perth and they send top-weight Lightning Flash north for his first start since April, when he finished seventh over C&D. He is better than that but giving 9lb to KOPA KILANA looks a huge ask. Olly Murphy has trained the last two winners of this and knows exactly the sort needed, and if he can repeat his C&D second off 1lb lower, he looks the one to beat. Malangen has won here four times and also makes the shortlist.

Kopa Kilana is respected but LIGHTNING FLASH returns from his break on a good mark and might be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

Rubellite took the measure of Bunker Bay (second) over C&D latest and while the pair could be closer on revised terms, it is FLEUR DE MER that shades preference. Martin Todhunter's mare was almost able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when beaten a neck here a fortnight ago and if building on that, she ought to go very close.

Percy Willis and RUBELLITE appeal most. The selection could yet rate higher for Richard Fahey.
Class & Speed Card

Havana Rum is consistent, having hit a top four finish on his last eight starts, but the handicapper has taken note and an added 3lb for a neck second at Southwell leaves him with more to do. Keep Warm has a good course record and is noted, but LOVING APPRENTICE is preferred. Second off this mark over 5f at Yarmouth most recently, she won easily over this distance at Lingfield in July and should have no issues with the softer ground.

Plenty to consider but HAVANA RUM (nap) is in the form of his life and can make amends for an unlucky second last time.
Class & Speed Card

MAHON FALLS can take a step forward from a clear second on her introduction at Wexford. She's a half-sister to a four-time winner and there should be races to be won with her. Saint Clovis kept on without threatening in third on debut at Galway, which was a fair effort and puts him on the shortlist. Mister Pessimistic has to enter calculations as a winner of his sole point-to-point at Loughanmore in April. He has switched to Henry de Bromhead and is an interesting recruit. Grey Jude showed improvement on his second start to come home third at Killarney and has Derek O'Connor's assistance, while Mc Swagger shouldn't be ruled out.

The suggestion is SAINT CLOVIS who was third in a big field at Galway and never nearer than at the finish.
Class & Speed Card

UNIVERSAL STORY made a promising start for Jennie Candlish when keeping on into fourth over 1m6f at Catterick recently and a further step up in trip could be the making of her. Stand Strong failed to see out 2m2f at Musselburgh latest but the previous C&D winner merits respect back here, while Girl Of Gold appeals most of the remainder.

A further step up in trip could well suit UNIVERSAL STORY and he's preferred ahead of Stand Strong who is unexposed over this far.
Class & Speed Card

The Andrew Balding horses invariably learn plenty from their first run, which makes the winning debut of TIGER POWER all the more impressive. He only won by a length at Haydock but had plenty left in the tank and could go in again in this field. Malachy's Wish stayed on strongly to win at Ffos Las, but that was on heavy ground and he may not be the same on this surface, so the well-bred newcomer Menwirr might be the bigger danger here.

Menwirr and Power For Power are interesting newcomers but TIGER POWER is the percentage call on the back of his debut win.
Class & Speed Card

KAMEEL has a good record here with two wins from three starts, both over this distance, and although well beaten at Southwell last month, he clearly struggles to see out a mile. Off 2lb lower, Jessica Macey's gelding may surprise off his current mark. Miakoda can also go well after his Brighton win was followed by a fourth at Catterick, leaving Thirsk third Call Me Betty to fill the same spot.

C&D winner Miakoda has been running well and is second choice behind CALL ME BETTY who won on her only previous try on AW.
Class & Speed Card

Ring Of Gold was value for more than a neck when winning over C&D last time, despite failing to get a clear run until the final furlong, and an added 2lb from the handicapper may not stop him from going close. OSELTON bolted in by four lengths at Southwell but was not winning out of turn and although upped 9lb for that, he looks the sort to keep on improving now the penny has dropped, with Coramento the pick for the minor placing.

Ring Of Gold (second choice) ended a lengthy losing run here last time but OSELTON won well at Southwell and he is the selection.
Class & Speed Card

A C&D winner off 4lb lower in March, URBAN DANDY has been consistent in a light campaign since and is entitled to have come on from the run after resuming over an inadequate 6f at Southwell three weeks ago. That was his first run since April and stepping back up to a mile should ideally suit the Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood-trained five-year-old. Lingfield winner Parish Councillor rates a player off 3lb higher with a visor added. Coloane and Electric Avenue are the pick of the rest.

Three-time C&D winner Martin's Brig is second choice but PARISH COUNCILLOR (nap) is selected to make it 2-2 since joining James Owen
Class & Speed Card

Having won three times over C&D win since January, 2025 has been a renaissance period for ASADJUMEIRAH and he has a good chance of adding to tally. Drawn two stalls along from the pacey Carolus Magnus, there is good reason to expect this will be run at good clip, which should ideally suit his hold-up style of running. Lady Bouquet and Ticktyboo have each-way claims, while Opal Storm is another to monitor in the betting on her all-weather debut.

Asuadjumeirah did best of those held up when fifth here last time but FLETCHERS DREAM is taken to gain his third C&D win.

This is the 16:15 Kempton race from the video above backed at 28/1 earlier in the day.
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.
