There were 52 Races on Saturday 27th September 2025 across 7 meetings. There was 7 races at Ripon, 8 races at Newmarket, 8 races at Curragh, 7 races at Haydock, 7 races at Listowel, 6 races at Market Rasen, 9 races at Southwell, 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

A marked improver from first to second start when dropping to this distance at Naas last time out, SAVILE ROW should have plenty more to come for his leading connections and he can get off the mark. Now in the hands of local trainer Michael Grassick with Colin Keane a notable booking, White Smoke outran her odds of 100/1 to finish second over C&D last month and is entitled to be thereabouts again. The well-bred Armada De Lope looks the pick of the newcomers.

If the 210,000gns purchase ARMADA DE LOPE is above average then she might well be up to taking this first time out.
Class & Speed Card

BRAVE TRAVELLER missed the break at Beverley on debut, but he finished strongly to take fourth over the stiff 5f. This extra yardage shouldn't be an issue on that evidence and a bold bid is anticipated. Well beaten when fourth at Thirsk, Here Forever could be thereabouts in this maiden if the first-time tongue-tie has the desired effect, while Ballybunion is preferred to Container Express of the remaining pair.

This is much weaker than the race at Thirsk in which HERE FOREVER ran fourth, though Brave Traveller shaped okay on debut.
Class & Speed Card

BOW ECHO arrives with strong claims of keeping his unbeaten record intact. The Night Of Thunder colt showed a determined attitude to land a Listed contest at Haydock three weeks ago, and is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride. There was little to separate runner-up Humidity and Pacific Avenue (fourth) in the Solario Stakes at Sandown but the former is marginally preferred over this extra furlong, while Ballydoyle colt Action is another to note.

Bow Echo has the potential and Humidity just about the best form. Making a case for the latter brings PACIFIC AVENUE into it.
Class & Speed Card

A versatile sort who has got the hang of the sprinting game over the summer, NEZEEH impressed despite being slowly away when scoring at Navan earlier in the month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Last year's impressive winner Keke must enter calculations dropping back in trip, along with old rival Red Evolution, who was last seen scoring comfortably at Cork in July. An eye-catching third on his first start for the Stephen Thorne stable here lately, Sir Les Patterson completes the shortlist.

Preference is for SARAHMAE who finished with energy to spare having not even engaged top gear in a premier handicap here last time.
Class & Speed Card

BLUE STORM has only raced twice since he won this race last year and could be worth chancing. The four-year-old looked in need of the run when he finished sixth in a race stolen from the front over C&D three weeks ago. With match-fitness topped up, this might be a good time to catch him. The hat-trick seeking Woolhampton and Vintage Clarets are other strong candidates, while fellow track-and-trip winner Duran also commands respect.

The most appealing profile belongs to ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS (nap) who keeps progressing and was nailed only late on at Ascot last time.
Class & Speed Card

Starting off over flights, bumper winners RIPSNORTER and Blue Waters appear the ones to focus on. The former was successful at Roscommon last month and has since joined the Co. Laois yard of Bill Lanigan, with Danny Mullins a positive jockey booking. Making the breakthrough at Ballinrobe on her penultimate start, with a subsequent winner in second, Blue Waters is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist are Dschingis Dragon, Oneinthewell (first-time cheekpieces) and dual Flat winner Brosna Town. Louiescall finished ninth in the Lartigue over C&D on Thursday and has definite claims if turned out again quickly.

BLUE WATERS (nap) is preferred. Her pedigree suggests she'll make into a talented hurdler and this looks a weak race
Class & Speed Card

ASSARANCA ticks plenty of boxes. She found this trip to her liking when finishing a strong second on the soft going at Sandown latest and Richard Hannon's filly could go one better. Zooter has shown ability and finished a respectable fourth over C&D in novice company last time. He has to be of interest on his nursery debut and makes more appeal than Conjecture.

This may go to ZOOTER who has run solid races since flying too high in the Chesham and he looks open to the most improvement.
Class & Speed Card

Royal Fixation landed the Lowther Stakes at York in the manner of a high-class filly. It's difficult to envisage runner-up America Queen turning the tables, but BEAUTIFY poses a much bigger threat. A Group 2 winner over 6f at the Curragh in June, Aidan O'Brien's charge then cruised into contention in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes before finding the 7f trip just beyond her, but she can resume winning ways back sprinting. Stablemate True Love is not out of this either.

True Love can bounce back from a surprise defeat but ROYAL FIXATION looked right out of the top drawer when winning the Lowther.
Class & Speed Card

Aidan O'Brien's record in this race could hardly be more impressive and both Ballydolye contenders Hawk Mountain and Port Of Spain are serious players. Both come into this on the back of a win but the former readily held sway when they clashed in a maiden here last month and the son of Wootton Bassett looks to be the yard's first string. However, GERYON's second in the Futurity is the best form on offer and he's a very bright prospect for Ger Lyons to go to war with.

Having beaten Hawk Mountain in a maiden here, it will be disappointing if GERYON(nap) can't do it again.
Class & Speed Card

WOVEN was beaten by only a neck in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last week and could gain immediate compensation back here. The consistent nine-year-old is set to encounter ideal conditions as he bids for back-to-back wins in this race and is a must for a consideration off just 1lb higher than 12 months ago. Grant Wood and Vantheman are dangerous to underestimate on these terms, while Sergeant Pep and Trilby are previous course winners capable of bold showings.

Woven and Uncle Don are high on the list but TRILBY has a fine course record and he has dropped to a tempting mark.
Class & Speed Card

STRONG LINK has gone from strength to strength since making the breakthrough at Wexford in May and he is undoubtedly the one to beat. An easy winner on his debut over flights at Tipperary, he then followed up at Galway, with Cameletta Vega a length and a quarter behind in second. The Willie Mullins-trained mare is 5lb better off, though, so can be expected to close the gap. Although his winning streak came to an end at Kilbeggan, Ballykinlar still warrants the utmost respect with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb. Mick Collins and Kainsbourg were disappointing when last seen at Ballinrobe and Roscommon respectively, but are capable of making an impact.

A chance is taken on BALLYKINLAR. 2m didn't suit him last time and he may be able to resume his progression now stepped back up in trip
Class & Speed Card

SMART VISION arrives at the top of his game. Jessica Macey's sprinter carried a big weight to victory at Beverley before going close on testing ground at Chester a week ago, and he looks worth sticking with. Gold Star Hero took advantage of a falling mark to score at Yarmouth and could be in the mix once again, while Vince L'Amour rates best of the rest.

Having been nabbed close home at Ayr last week VINCE L'AMOUR (nap) can gain compensation. Gold Star Hero is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

Listed winner Wise Approach found further improvement to finish third in the Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville. Representing last year's winning yard, he will likely prove hard to stop, but a chance is taken on THE PUBLICAN'S SON. Thrown in at the deep end when contesting a Group 3 at the Curragh on his debut, Joseph O'Brien's charge caught the eye, weaving through runners to finish a strong second, so he may well prove competitive at this level. Coppull and Hilitany are others to consider.

Wise Approach is the one to beat on form but THE PUBLICAN'S SON and Hilitany are a couple of very interesting alternatives.
Class & Speed Card

GENUINE ARTICLE has held his form well this season and may find dropping back down to 7f is a route well worth exploring. Having filled the runner-up berth in the Irish Cambridgeshire before posting another narrow defeat over an extended mile at Galway, this shorter trip could prove ideal for the prominent racer. Engines On is an old rival who could have a big say, while Flaming Rib and Monsieur Fudge are interesting options starting out for new yards.

HEAVENLY POWER looks ready for a step back up to this trip again and this triple course winner can score here again
Class & Speed Card

FIRST AMBITION is on the upgrade and the sky is currently the limit with this late-developing four-year-old. Unraced until this January, the son of Invincible Spirit - whose dam is non other than multiple Group 1 winner Laurens - showed a professional attitude when breaking his maiden at Newcastle, before posting an even more determined effort in a novices' event at Southwell last month. An opening mark of 91 suggests he is above average and he is the most intriguing option on his handicap/turf debut. Midnight Gun and Hawksbill are other key players.

The unbeaten First Ambition could be a cut above but this is no easy introduction to turf and he's taken on with MIDNIGHT GUN.
Class & Speed Card

DREAL DEAL is the suggestion in this competitive affair. Having tumbled down the handicap, the former Grade 2 winner bounced back to form when successful over fences on his debut for Philip Rothwell at Killarney. He lost little in defeat when second at the same venue latest and back over the smaller obstacles, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Willie Mullins' handicap debutant Sysko is sure to have plenty of supporters and could prove nicely treated off an initial mark of 122. Redwood Queen is of definite interest with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb, while others to note include Millstream Lady, Grann's Boy and A Law Of Her Own.

A tentative vote goes to REDWOOD QUEEN. She has won here before and her first two runs for Cian Collins were encouraging
Class & Speed Card

A tentative vote goes to EYE OF DUBAI, who returned to form with a creditable placed effort in the Ayr Silver Cup, despite being slightly hampered over 2f out. With a victory and a second on his two previous efforts over C&D, the four-year-old is narrowly preferred to Another Baar, who arrives here on a five-timer but must prove himself back at 6f. Beaujolais Nouveau is another to bear in mind.

Plenty of possibles but 2024 winner EYE OF DUBAI ran well at Ayr last week and is preferred to the unexposed Strong Warrior.
Class & Speed Card

LADY TADITA made a bright start to her career at Huntingdon last November, despite showing clear signs of inexperience, and Jamie Snowden's filly makes plenty of appeal on her hurdling bow. Centurion's Sister improved from her debut when filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle and again at Musselburgh. She has to enter the reckoning along with Settle Down Jill, who may benefit from wind surgery.

If her summer wind op was successful, SETTLE DOWN JILL could be very hard to beat in this modest maiden.
Class & Speed Card

Champion jockey elect Oisin Murphy rode Treble Tee and FORT GEORGE to their most recent victories, but the fact he is on the latter might be a clue in itself. He's 9lb higher than for last month's Newbury triumph but given the rate at which he is progressing it might not halt further improvement. He is narrowly preferred to Fifth Column, who could be a Group horse in waiting, having landed valuable handicaps on the July Course and York over the summer. Stablemate Westridge is another to note, along with recent Goodwood winner Tribal Chief, and Boiling Point, who represents last year's winning connections. Others to consider include the likes of Erzindjan, Great Chieftain and Real Gain.

There can be optimism today's extra furlong will prompt further improvement from FIFTH COLUMN (nap). Marhaba Ghaiyyath is a danger.
Class & Speed Card

COMPOSING looks a cut above the opposition. A Group 2 winner here, she finished a respectable fourth in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes last time, and her prominent style of racing should help the Ballydoyle filly stay clear of any trouble in-running in a huge field. Third in the Phoenix Stakes over 6f, Green Sense could feature representing last year's winning yard, while the maiden winners Take Charge Star and Phenomenal Filly have plenty of scope for further improvement.

COMPOSING is the class act and she can bounce back from a below-par Moyglare Stakes run. She should get a lead today and pounce late.
Class & Speed Card

Some intriguing newcomers are on show and a tentative vote is for SAXOPHONIC. The 625,000gns son of Dubawi packs enough class and stamina in his pedigree to suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. Poseidon's Warrior fetched 900,000 euros at the sales and could have a major say, along with Double Combo, who represents last year's winning trainer. Of the few with experience, Lost Boys looks the pick following a close-up third at Ascot.

Lost Boys has the advantage of experience but newcomer POSEIDON'S WARRIOR has plenty going for him on paper.
Class & Speed Card

The subject of a gamble on his stable debut at Kilbeggan recently, RISING DUST was cruelly denied by an 80/1 outsider. Considering it was his first run in over a year, the seven-year-old is entitled to step forward from that effort and if attracting support again, he could prove hard to beat. First and second at Wexford last month, Stone Forest and Corkbeg will both have their supporters, while Toor Moon is also noted. Set for a quick turnaround after finishing third here on Wednesday, Dunany Point remains of interest, while others for the shortlist in this competitive heat are handicap debutant Rizedda and Galway runner-up Oogum Boogum.

CORKBEG only has 2l to find with Stone Forest, he's 5lb better off at the weights and he may be able to turn the tables
Class & Speed Card

DREAM DEAL scored at the expense of a subsequent winner at Catterick last time out, and a 6lb rise could prove lenient as Tim Easterby's charge looks to go in again. The hat-trick seeking Mrs Trump can follow the selection home, along with Annie Edson Taylor, who has not finished outside of the first three home in each of her last four outings. Keep an eye on Eldeyaar, Ifonlytheycudtalk and Roundhay Park too.

Annie Edson Taylor has done well since blinkered but BIG APPLE JACK is an unexposed 3yo who retains a fair bit of potential.
Class & Speed Card

SUMMERLEAZE shaped better than the result suggests when fourth at Stratford, having travelled well throughout the contest before stamina became an issue in the closing stages. The drop back in trip, combined with a 1lb lower mark, gives Olly Murphy's mare a fine opportunity to open her account over the larger obstacles. St Patricks Bridge is 5lb higher following his victory here last month and is expected to be competitive once again. Others to consider are Jimmyjeroo and Henry Box Brown.

The pick is SUMMERLEAZE, who did well over hurdles in spring and ran well until her stamina ebbed away in a marathon chase last month.
Class & Speed Card

GWEN JOHN struck the woodwork in a valuable nursery at Doncaster recently and is likely to progress further over 7f. She is taken to score off 4lb higher, but Beverley maiden winner Secret Echo looks a big threat, even allowing for the fact that she is 1lb out of the handicap on her nursery debut. Similar comments apply to Chepstow scorer Quiescent, while the hat-trick seeking Just Call Me Angel appeals as another leading contender.

Preference is for nursery newcomer SWIFT WINDS, who looks to be on a good mark judged on her close second in a hot novice at Goodwood.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on two of her last three starts, HAVIN A FLYER brings the best recent form to the table and this could be an ideal opportunity to break the maiden tag. Dual turf winner Rajak will be dangerous if putting his best foot forward on this surface, while Call Me By My Name has been highly tried and is interesting now in a nursery.

The withdrawal of Double Naughty, who was the original selection, promotes similar type DRAGON SPIN to first choice.
Class & Speed Card

A winner over 7f at Galway, COLLECTING COIN finished a creditable third over a mile at Killarney last time. The runner-up has subsequently franked that form and Jessica Harrington's son of Lope De Vega gets another chance back over today's trip. Iceford landed a handicap over C&D back in May and can have a say in proceedings, while the unexposed 6f winner Charasson has scope for improvement stepping up in distance after finding life tough in Listed company.

The most reliable of these is COLLECTING COIN and he is a tentative selection in a race where all the runners have questions to answer.
Class & Speed Card

The Karl Burke yard can do little wrong at present and NADA TWO sets the standard in this contest, following a highly promising debut at Thirsk last month when keeping on in second. The daughter of Night Of Thunder will need to learn to settle better on this occasion, but she should have enough to see off Salisbury third Morven, who may well enjoy better ground on this occasion. An unlucky sixth when not getting a clear run and keeping on well towards the finish at Ascot, Rossa Raheen is another open to improvement.

These once-raced fillies are all open to improvement. NADA TWO achieved the most of the quartet when second at Thirsk.
Class & Speed Card

Striking with Howya Luveen and Bythesametoken in recent weeks, Ross O'Sullivan and the Downtown Syndicate are on a roll. They combine with TALK IN THE PARK and this seven-year-old is of definite interest on his first try in handicap chase company. Beaten just three-quarters of a length into second in a good contest at Galway on his latest start, he had some useful performers in behind. Starting off for Eric McNamara, Weveallbeencaught and Supreme Gift are of definite interest and it'll come as no surprise if either manages to prevail. Runner-up on his last three starts, Antrim Coast certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn, while the likeable Mousey Brown and wide-margin Tramore winner El Champo are others for the shortlist.

If DRUMGILL can reproduce the form he showed when runner up in the Mayo National, he could be the answer here.
Class & Speed Card

Lord has progressed with each start over hurdles and arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories. However, he has to give 10lb to an interesting recruit in the shape of STARDROP. James Owen has done particularly well in this division and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see a change to front-running tactics given how keenly the son of Ulysses would race on the Flat. Blue Tempus was no match for an easy winner at Stratford, but is better judged on his Newton Abbot effort the time before.

Stardrop is not opposed with any confidence but LORD sets him a pretty good standard and is selected to complete a hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

Some may question the Hamilton form, but AEQUITAS was accomplished for a newcomer and this could be well within the compass of the David O'Meara-trained filly as she looks to supplement that debut victory, given she's open to plenty of improvement. Driver's Pick's French form is encouraging and he appeals more than the newcomer Knighton and Stitching Wheel at this stage.

With Driver's Pick returning from a year on the sidelines the safest bet is recent Hamilton winner AEQUITAS.
Class & Speed Card

ACT OF KINDNESS fetched a staggering 3,700,000gns purchase at the sales, but perhaps for good reason as her pedigree is laden with Group 1 winners. The daughter of Siyouni gets the vote ahead of fellow debutant Shady Dame, whose dam California scored first time out before landing the Lille Langtry as a four-year-old. Cherry Baker outran odds of 50-1 to finish a highly encouraging second at Sandown last time out, and she can prove that was no fluke.

The pick of the newcomers on paper is ACT OF KINDNESS, who was bought as a yearling for a huge sum.
Class & Speed Card

SIOUXPERSONIC was far from disgraced in a valuable nursery at Doncaster last time out, and Edward Bethell's filly is expected to build on that performance now dropped into a maiden for the first time. Absent since finishing second over C&D in April, Naana's Shadow looks a key player. Echoofmymind and Sinj are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The suggestion is SIOUXPERSONIC who will find this far less demanding than a Class 2 nursery at the St Leger meeting.
Class & Speed Card

Juniper Sling sets the standard with an official rating of 78 but although respected, she has ground to make up with Simurgh, who finished almost two lengths ahead of her in second at Roscommon earlier this month. Dawn Coming made a pleasing introduction over the mile here in June and enters calculations but a chance can be taken on newcomer DUVESSA. The daughter of Make Believe is related to four separate winners over various trips, of which a couple, perhaps crucially, appeared to handle the forecast ground conditions.

Dropping back in trip might enable JUNIPER SLING to reverse Roscommon placings with Simurgh.
Class & Speed Card

REAL MAN represents last year's winning yard and returns to 7f with solid claims. Beaten less than a length in third when failing to land the odds over a mile at Thirsk on his nursery bow, Karl Burke's charge is taken to make amends here. Land Of Liberty has shown steady improvement and found only one too good at Newbury on her nursery debut, while Saniyaat's Star shaped well in a C&D maiden and is one to note now handicapping.

The fact that REAL MAN went off at a short price on his nursery debut suggests that he's thought to be well treated by his top yard.
Class & Speed Card

Second and third in the corresponding event 12 months ago, Decimation and Meehall both appear to hold solid claims once again. However, although the pair warrant the utmost respect, DORANS LAW is preferred. Representing last year's winning connections, the seven-year-old was successful at Wexford in July and despite not showing that same level of form since, a first-time tongue-tie could elicit the required improvement. Towards the top of the handicap, Backmersackme and Lonesome Boatman must be of interest, while UK raider Easy Bucks is another to consider in this competitive affair.

The suggestion is BACKMERSACKME who has yet to click over fences but this is his handicap debut and he should be on a nice mark.
Class & Speed Card

Dylan Cunha seldom has runners in this sphere and MAHONS GLORY is responsible for both of his victories over jumps. Successful at Leicester in March before following up at Stratford, he then posted another fine effort to finish second in a warm Sandown heat. Now 1lb higher and back into open company on his return, he should have more in the locker and appeals as the one to side with. Time To Bite arrives following a brace of comprehensive Newton Abbot triumphs and is respected along with El Rio.

Time To Bite is respected but preference is for MAHONS GLORY, who ended last season in career-best form for his new stable.
Class & Speed Card

SAWGRASS is open to progression over this sort of trip and could take another step forward after a respectable third-placed finish over 1m6f at Salisbury last month. That effort came after a 71-day break and the daughter of Gleneagles could be spot on for this off just 1lb higher. Recent Chester winner Marbuzet also rates a key player running off just 2lb higher, while The Crafty Mole and Cock And Bull also warrant close inspection.

A winner last time out at Chester and with a solid record at this track, MARBUZET gets the vote ahead of Sawgrass.
Class & Speed Card

There are plenty of flashy pedigrees being showcased and the betting should prove informative. However, it is OTTOMAN EMPRESS that gets the vote. As her name suggests, she is a half-sister to the classy Ottoman Fleet, who has registered some of his most notable successes on the Rowley Mile. A 550,000gns purchase, there is plenty recommend her on paper. Golden Orbit and Summer In Paris are others that need to be monitored in the market, while Zabeel Flower sets the form standard.

Zabeel Flower may have to settle for another silver medal, with OTTOMAN EMPRESS looking a newcomer who could prove useful.
Class & Speed Card

AAJEJ displayed improvement from first start to second. A creditable third over 1m3f here earlier this month, returning to further ought to be of benefit and he is expected to find the necessary progress. Shumus has been placed on both of her racecourse appearances and the daughter of Sea The Stars could be the main danger. Market support for German import Abando would be noteworthy given that he's been highly tried in his career so far.

The ex-German Abando sets a high standard on his best form but he has a bit to prove after a break, and preference is for AAJEJ.
Class & Speed Card

SUBSONIC remains a maiden after four starts but that doesn't tell the whole story, as she's had to chase the tail of multiple Oaks-heroine Minnie Hauk twice in her career. Johnny Murtagh's filly was crying out for room in the closing stages an Navan latest but she shouldn't have the same issue berthed well today, and the Lope De Vega filly can belatedly open her account. The ultra-consistent Tswalu deserves a change of luck but minor honours could await her once more, while Carthusian and Candleford Green are others to consider.

A stronger division that the first and far more intriguing. SUBSONIC got no luck last time and is preferred over Candleford Green.
Class & Speed Card

STEEL TIGER put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him when placing on soft ground at Windsor. A winner over this longer distance back in April, the son of Almanzor could launch a strong challenge only 3lb higher. Contacto acquitted himself well in the Old Borough Cup here last time and this is an easier assignment. He will likely have a say in proceedings, while it's worth keeping an eye on the Carlisle maiden winner Thosewerethedays on his handicap debut.

Carlisle maiden winner THOSEWERETHEDAYS gets the vote ahead of fellow handicap debutant Ashdown Forest.
Class & Speed Card

STARTING FIFTEEN remains a maiden after just two starts, but he has the ability to take this. A fine second in Listed company on debut, he then finished third of 24 at the Punchestown Festival in April, where he had subsequent dual bumper winner Galileo Sand a place behind. An easy winner over course and distance in May, Samba Train is sure to have plenty of supporters, while it'll be interesting to see how Casterly Rock fares, as he bids to complete a unique opening/closing day Harvest Festival double. Off the mark in fine style last month, Parnell Street is another leading contender, while Kilbeggan scorer Jisco De Brem will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Galway.

This is a useful bumper contested by six previous winners and then there's STARTING FIFTEEN who arguably has the best form.
Class & Speed Card

This has an open look to it, but the progressive CAVERN CLUB could have a bit in hand over his rivals. A winner on the Flat at Chester in June, he went on the land the Summer Hurdle over C&D and has since gone well back on the level. The five-year-old remains open to improvement over timber and could again have too much for Summer Hurdle fourth Sir Galahad, who is better off at the weights. Others to note include Ghasham, Oslo and Busy Being Busy.

Perhaps ridden with too much confidence when second on recent stable debut, GHASHAM (nap) can take this prize from out of the weights.
Class & Speed Card

INDIAN SPRINGS looks a smart prospect. A C&D maiden winner in April before following up at Haydock in July, this looks a natural stepping stone for the son of Too Darn Hot, for all that an opening mark of 96 doesn't leave much room for error. Those with more experience such as Mr Chaplin and Zoulu Chief can make this a good test, while Completely Random and Aalto are just two others to consider.

After good efforts at two major festivals, DANCE IN THE STORM is preferred. Indian Springs is interesting.
Class & Speed Card

SPIRIT LEAD ME was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark in fine style at Kempton on Wednesday, when tried in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Donagh Murphy negates the penalty incurred for that success with his 7lb claim and Richard Hughes' gelding looks the obvious choice provided this doesn't come too soon. Fellow last-time-out Kempton scorer Havana Touch looks a real danger though, while Emerald Army and Claxton Bay appeal most of the remainder.

If clicking with new partner Donagh Murphy, then SPIRIT LEAD ME (nap) will have every chance of following up his win on Wednesday.
Class & Speed Card

LORD WARBURTON was in slightly better form when springing a surprise to land a division of this event 12 months ago. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces, though, and he is now back on last year's winning mark. This isn't the deepest of contests and handicap debutant Start Again looks sure to be involved having shown ability over hurdles so far. Queens Wish weakened two from home at Uttoxeter, but dropping in trip could result in a stronger finishing effort.

The answer might be BANNISTER, who won a division of this race in 2024 and has edged his way back down to a good mark.
Class & Speed Card

ONE MORE DREAM recorded his 10th all-weather success in comfortable fashion at Wolverhampton recently and given that he remains well handicapped from 6lb higher, another bold bid looks likely. Noel Fox hasn't won for a while but he's 2lb below his last winning mark as a result and must enter calculations. Zabeel Road, a winner over this trip at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, was stretched by 7f here last time and may do better back at this distance.

Solid claims are held by One More Dream, but at likely longer odds a chance is taken on the well-handicapped ZIGGY'S CONDOR.
Class & Speed Card

Smooth Silesie is a likely pace angle but all of her winning form has been posted over the minimum trip and she could be vulnerable to a closer. Previous C&D winner HIERARCHY fits that very profile and he gets the nod from just 1lb above his last winning mark. Well berthed in stall three, the relatively unexposed Kiniro could have a big say, while it would be dangerous to underestimate Jesse Luc.

Preference is for JESSE LUC who has a record of 42121113211032 over 6f on AW this year. Kiniro is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

A winner at Newcastle on his penultimate start, Zuffolo is 5lb higher now but looks to be in with a shout back on the all-weather. Birkenhead has winning form at the track and is on a competitive mark, but IRISH DANCER makes the most appeal. Declan Carroll's charge has won a couple of times over C&D already this year and, after a good effort at Redcar last time, he could take all the beating.

Nelson Gay is respected but HAVECHATMA has been bubbling under and now returns to the scene of four of her five wins.
Class & Speed Card

TAZAMAN missed out on a hat-trick when second in a higher grade contest at Newbury. He looks capable of winning off his current mark back at this level and is taken to edge out Division Day. He remains unexposed after scoring at Redcar on his first start over 1m6f and warrants plenty of respect, while Kempton winner Appleblossomwhite and Buxted Reel are not without a shout either.

The lightly raced DIVISION DAY relished the step up to 1m6f at Redcar recently and can follow up. Appleblossomwhite is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

The Bay Warrior remains in fine form and won at Lingfield a fortnight ago. However, KINTBURY finished less than a length behind in third on her handicap debut that day and first start since March. That outing should have blown any cobwebs away and Andrew Balding's filly could prove better than her current mark. Always A Star placed in a tougher contest here last month and is noted along with Helmsley.

A competitive race in which EVERYONEKNOWSADAVE gets the vote ahead of Always A Star and handicap newcomer Helmsley.

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.
