There were 38 Races on Wednesday 8th October 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 8 races at Nottingham, 8 races at Navan, 7 races at Ludlow, 6 races at Sedgefield, 9 races at Kempton, 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

Although hooded for her debut, WINTER'S BLOOM could be a cut above these rivals. The daughter of Dubawi is a sister to the high-class Naval Crown, who won the Platinum Jubilee Stakes for these connections three years ago. It's possible that she'll want further in time, but the same could be said of fellow newcomers Birdcall and Cercis. Hello It's Me made a pleasing introduction at Chester but while she ought to improve, it is difficult to know what that form is worth.

Hello It's Me should go well. The four newcomers, perhaps headed by WINTER'S BLOOM, all need a close look, though.
Class & Speed Card

WHITE SMOKE has filled the runner-up spot on her latest two starts at the Curragh and gets the vote to go one better. The daughter of Coulsty beat all bar Mushaffar in a 19-runner maiden and, after moving to Michael Grassick's yard, was again only collared close home by Mumhan also over 6f. Pliny rates a threat on his third to Solomon Islands at Leopardstown and is now fitted with blinkers, while Elly Bay has shown promise on a number of occasions over longer trips and could well be suited by the drop in distance. Ocean's Breath and Kindergarten are two newcomers to note in the market.

The 84 rated dual Curragh runner up WHITE SMOKE is best treated by the race conditions and if she settles, she's the one to beat
Class & Speed Card

PIQUE' was arguably in better form when on target in the corresponding event 12 months ago but she's only 1lb higher now and, perhaps crucially, ground conditions will be in her favour. Cecilia Star and the ex-French Rodoya merit close inspection, as does El Megeeth, but Brielle could prove best of the three-year-old contingent having won in fine style from 6lb lower at Ayr latest.

Up to 1m6f, lightly raced 3yo EL MEGEETH may be able to make her breakthrough. Ex-French Rodoya might have been let in lightly.
Class & Speed Card

PERCY SHELLEY had been running consistently well on the level during the summer before switching to hurdles and gaining his first success in the UK at Uttoxeter last month. Fast ground should play to his strengths and his speed from the Flat is likely to give him the edge over Maldini Milano, who is entitled to improve from his first attempt over timber at Newton Abbot.

Maldini Milano could have a good future but preference is for useful Flat racer PERCY SHELLEY who won on his recent hurdling debut.
Class & Speed Card

Given a positive mention in a recent stable tour since joining Olly Murphy's yard from Ireland where he won a bumper at Naas in April, JAMADA is likely to take the switch to hurdles in his stride and the five-year-old can strike in this winnable contest. Things haven't gone smoothly in this sphere for Jolie Coeur Allen, but she ran creditably when second at Cartmel in June and she is a player, along with Supreme George.

It could be worth siding with Olly Murphy's fairly useful Irish bumper scorer JAMADA to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere
Class & Speed Card

LUNIGIANA proved a frustrating sort to follow last year when placed five times and ran a cracker on her belated seasonal debut over a similar trip at the Curragh 10 days ago. The Willie McCreery-trained filly was prominent throughout and only just lost out to Spodo Komodo, with Poweracclaim two lengths back in third and Glory To Be a close fourth. Hopefully the selection can progress from that run, and her yard has really struck form with five winners last week. Ballintogher has shaped well on all three starts at the Curragh but has been absent since March, while Men Of Honour only weakened in the closing stages when third to Collecting Coin over 7f at Galway.

Willie McCreery's filly LUNIGIANA (nap) is taken to confirm her Curragh maiden form with Poweracclaim and Glory To Be
Class & Speed Card

Despite shaping with promise on his debut at Redcar a fortnight ago, there were early signs that 7f might be a little on the sharp side for HIGH STORM. With that in mind, it is no surprise that Karl Burke opts to go up in trip with the son of Nathaniel, who can progress to score at the second time of asking. Wise Prince and Glory Road could figure along with Hatteen, who wasn't disgraced at Sandown, despite finishing last of three.

Karl Burke may well register yet another 2yo win, this time with HIGH STORM who looked a good prospect when third on his debut.
Class & Speed Card

SERGEANT FURY was attempting to register a fourth success on the bounce when second at Newton Abbot. The five-year-old seems to have benefited from racing on flatter tracks and this may be an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. King Of The Road was runner-up off this mark at Kempton on Boxing Day and a repeat of that kind of display would give him every chance. Jubilee Gold is worth forgiving her latest run when pulling up on her stable debut at Plumpton.

Top of the list is SERGEANT FURY (nap), who won three in a row before a creditable second behind an improver at Newton Abbot in August.
Class & Speed Card

SIR CARNEGIE's jumping has let him down since joining the Mickey Bowen yard, but he did keep on well for fourth over hurdles at Plumpton last time out and stepping up in trip looks like a good move. Shane Fenelon taking off 5lb is another plus and he may have too much for Pescatorius, who arrives with similar claims as he goes up in distance after being in the first three over shorter the last twice. A strong stayer, the veteran Super Citizen may also get involved.

Olly Murphy's PESCATORIUS has his first go over this trip but posted a very good second at Perth last time and still looks the way to go
Class & Speed Card

Drawn away from the main action, the Andrew Slattery-trained CISTERNA kept on well to win his own side and finish runner-up overall at Cork last month. He looked suited to stepping back up a furlong, having been outpaced over 5f at Naas on his previous outing. Nicely drawn in the high numbers here, the son of Mehmas holds leading claims. Recent Down Royal third Believe In Glory will have every chance if the runners come up the far rail. The Ken Condon-trained filly kept on well last time. Naas winner Bay Of Supremacy also enters calculations, despite a 6lb rise.

The vote goes to CISTERNA. She was doing her best work at the finish when second at Cork and this stiffer track should suit.
Class & Speed Card

Dunkeld Dreamer has progressed well in nurseries, going up 18lb since her first victory at Beverley in July. Her most recent effort may well have come too quickly when runner-up at Wolverhampton, but she might be vulnerable to a less-exposed rival in the shape of SEA THE POWER. Adrian Keatley's colt got off the mark at Ayr on his third start and appears likely to benefit from stepping up in trip. Stoneacre Donny (first) got the better of Sovereign Wealth (third) in the final strides at Thirsk but the latter has every chance of turning the tables, especially as he was probably in front too soon on that occasion.

The pick in an interesting field may well be SEA THE POWER whose rider made plenty of use of him when they made all over 1m at Ayr.
Class & Speed Card

KATE O'RILEY makes plenty of appeal on paper, with the Cheshire Oaks fifth now having her first start over timber. Her connections have made a real impact in the juvenile division over the past few seasons and she is more than capable of making a winning start in this sphere. Love Sonnet has joined Tim Vaughan after an impressive success in a Killarney handicap in July and looks the most likely threat. Madame Pomone and Minnie Belle head the remainder.

Preference is for KATE O'RILEY, who is a fairly useful dual winner on the Flat and looks an interesting recruit to hurdling.
Class & Speed Card

SPOT ON SOPH looked value for much more than the winning margin over C&D last month and a 3lb rise could prove especially lenient as she looks to follow up for her in-form connections. A winner of four of his last five, Dickens has been on a roll over the last few months and going back up in trip should not inconvenience him after his comfortable success in a conditional handicap at Newton Abbot recently. Isle Of Sark and Magnolia are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Jennie Candlish's DICKENS continues on the up and escapes a penalty for his conditional jockeys' win at Newton Abbot so gets the vote
Class & Speed Card

The Gavin Cromwell-trained UKIYO can follow up her recent breakthrough win at Cork. Well supported on that occasion, the daughter of Kuroshio was clearly expected to go close on her first start since July. Prominent throughout, the four-year-old kept on strongly inside the final furlong to score with a bit in hand. Despite being raised 6lb, it would be surprising if she didn't have a bit more in hand. The veteran Stanhope comes alive at this track, at this time of year. Well suited to testing conditions, the 11-year-old has shaped with promise on a couple of occasions this season. Only Spoofing is another old-timer who shouldn't be discounted, despite his advancing years.

A 6lb rise might not be enough to stop last week's Cork winner UKIYO from going in again. She is less exposed than most of these rivals
Class & Speed Card

ULTRASOUL delivered the goods when presented with a simple task at Kempton at the start of last month and the son of Kingman is expected to have more to offer back in handicap company. Last year's hero Desperate Dan is 10lb higher, but arrives in winning form and will appreciate conditions. He has to enter the reckoning, while others for the shortlist include Saytarr and Good Heavens.

The 2024 winner Desperate Dan is set for a strong defence but GOOD HEAVENS (nap) remains on a good mark. Navagio is third best.
Class & Speed Card

Having continued his resurgence when digging deep to complete a Worcester double, Almazhar Garde cannot be taken lightly in his current vein of form. However, a further 3lb rise does demand more and it may be worth chancing the returning STRAW FAN JACK. Sheila Lewis' inmate ended last season's campaign with a victory over C&D and a similar performance may prove sufficient. The down-in-class Another Day Out is also worth a look.

Preference is for the resurgent veteran ALMAZHAR GARDE who battled well when completing a Worcester double last month.
Class & Speed Card

OBSESSEDWITHYOU has improved since being sent chasing in May, winning two of her five starts. Jamie Snowden's mare struck the woodwork from 1lb lower at Uttoxeter latest and with a fitness edge over both Flamelco and Scots Poet, any further improvement might suffice. Arthur's Quay was well beaten over 2m5f here recently but Ben Haslam's 11-year-old could fare better now dropped in trip.

Jamie Snowden's OBSESSEDWITHYOU has taken very well to chasing and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go in again.
Class & Speed Card

Aidan O'Brien has won the last three renewals and is represented by two well-bred newcomers. Jockey bookings suggest that the Wootton Bassett colt EX ANIMO, a half-brother to this year's Musidora runner-up Serenity Prayer from the family of 1000 Guineas and Oaks winner Love, is the stable's main hope. Jack Cleary rides plenty of winners for Ballydoyle, though, and it wouldn't be a much of a surprise if Proposition, a Frankel three-parts brother to multiple Group 1 winners Magical and Rhododendron, proved the better of the pair on this occasion. The mount of Dylan Browne McMonagle, James J Braddock could be the best of Joseph O'Brien's three debutants.

Wayne Lordan's presence on EX ANIMO just about sways the vote over stablemate Proposition who may be less forward
Class & Speed Card

SEREN STAR was unable to land a blow when ridden patiently at York last time, having arrived in search of a hat-trick. The combination of a drop in trip along with a return to more positive tactics may see her in a much better light. Sheriff's Court's last run on turf saw him score at Carlisle in July and he is respected off just 3lb higher, while Sea Poetry is of interest stepping back up in distance.

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with soft-ground scorer MILETUS to capitalise on a reduced mark now he has conditions to suit
Class & Speed Card

Although he proved too keen when finishing sixth on his nursery bow at Doncaster last month, Mr Writer merits respect given his experience. However, connections of million-pound breeze-up purchase RAPID FORCE will be hoping to recoup some of that lofty price tag by making a winning debut. Zooella, a half-sister to Listed scorer Fandom, may also have a bright future and the market could prove the best guide.

Mr Writer has the benefit of experience but both newcomers appeal on paper and RAPID FORCE is taken to make a winning debut.
Class & Speed Card

LA MARQUISE was too bad to be true when finishing down the field at Newbury back in December and she may take some stopping if reproducing the level of her course victory two months prior. She will have been freshened up by a 284-day break and is a potential improver stepping up in distance. Porter In The Park is unbeaten in two appearances at this venue and she's feared most, ahead of Diplomatie.

Course winner LA MARQUISE is very unexposed over hurdles and her very useful bumper form gives her considerable scope for improvement.
Class & Speed Card

Captain Cool took a step forward to fill the runner-up spot over C&D on his handicap bow recently and although respected from an unchanged mark, ZAMOND is preferred. Donald McCain's gelding went desperately close at Bangor before winning in fine style over 2m4f here latest. He must now shoulder a 7lb penalty but that shouldn't be any barrier to further success, nor should the drop in trip. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces for Clan Chieftain, whose latest Perth effort was more encouraging.

Lightly raced CAPTAIN COOL (nap) gets a confident vote to add another winner for Jennie Candlish on the back of an excellent C&D second
Class & Speed Card

UM WADI had fair form in France and ran creditably from a wide draw when beaten a little over four lengths in a valuable fillies' handicap at Leopardstown. A market drifter on her stable debut after a three-month break, she wasn't far behind stablemate Shavasi, who had three of these rivals in arrears when winning easily at Bellewstown last week. The daughter of Toronado could take a nice step forward with that run under her belt. Tachos, a dual winner over 1m1f, finished ahead of the selection at Leopardstown and merits respect, while Love Is Blind came home strongly to land a 7f maiden at Fairyhouse and gives Joseph O'Brien a strong hand in this.

Recent maiden winner LOVE IS BLIND should relish this longer trip on handicap debut and is preferred to stablemate Um Wadi
Class & Speed Card

Stormy Monday continued on his upward trajectory when completing a double at Doncaster and another bold bid is forecast. However, a 5lb higher mark does require more and it could be worth chancing handicap debutant SUZETTE DEFOYE. The Crisfords' filly is entitled to build on her fifth-placed reappearance at Newmarket in August and an opening mark of 79 looks workable. Tipsy Tiger and King Al are feasible alternatives.

This could be seriously competitive but GHOST STORY gets the vote ahead of Stormy Monday.
Class & Speed Card

Having relished a step up in trip when scoring at Musselburgh last month, there could be more to come from PENN AVENUE. A 4lb higher mark looks workable for the three-year-old and reverting to Polytrack holds no fear. Cloudside Rock is heading in the right direction judged on his Ffos Las triumph and he is feared most, ahead of Blue Train.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to the lightly raced 3yo SEVENTY, who made a bold bid over C&D last time.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied at Hereford when last seen, GRIS MAJEUR looks the one to beat on his return off a 2lb higher mark. The Sheila Lewis-trained eight-year-old gets the vote ahead of Chestnut Pete, who should appreciate going back up in trip on his reappearance. The Martin Keighley stable has been going well of late and Redbridge Rambler is another to consider.

It might be worth siding with Hereford winner CHESTNUT PETE who ran into a handicap blot there when last seen.
Class & Speed Card

Dotties Promise was able to build on a promising debut effort to score at Kelso three weeks ago. The daughter of Telescope should have more to offer but might struggle conceding weight to OPALE DE MAINE. Jamie Snowden's filly left a disappointing start behind her to fill the runner-up spot at Hexham in August and given natural progress, she could be the one to beat. Doctor Dino filly Dreaming Of The Dr ought to have a future in this sphere and market support would be noteworthy.

Jamie Snowden's No Risk At All filly OPALE DE MAINE rates the form pick on the back of her Hexham second so looks the way to go here
Class & Speed Card

MISS AMERICANA twice ran well last month and might have a race in her off a lowly mark. Charles O'Brien's filly was second on soft ground at Clonmel and ran another solid race at Punchestown last time. She handled better ground when fourth at Naas in the summer, so seems versatile in that respect. Course and distance winner Patrick Street came home well to finish in front of the selection at Punchestown but might prefer a softer surface. A course and distance winner last month, Harseva has since run poorly on the all-weather but seems better on turf. Fleetfootsoldier was well backed when meeting trouble in running at Bellewstown but this longer trip is a concern.

Winner of this race in 2023 PATRICK STREET caught the eye at Punchestown last month and can score again
Class & Speed Card

Having filled the runner-up spot at Bath and Ffos Las last month, compensation could be on the cards for UP THE ANTI. The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor looks ready for a return to 6f and she edges the vote over Shark Two One. Jessica Macey's gelding has held his form well this campaign and another good account is forecast. Vault Of Heaven's mark continues to fall and he could make his presence felt too.

The suggestion is UP THE ANTI, who has begun well for Tony Carroll and whose extra stamina could prove beneficial at the business end.
Class & Speed Card

SIREN SUIT entered plenty of notebooks when finishing a close-up third in a class 2 won by subsequent Middle Park hero Wise Approach at Ascot in April and he may take some stopping. The son of Churchill looks just the sort to relish the extra quarter-mile and he is difficult to oppose on his return to the fray. Fyreline fetched 420,000 euros at the Arqana May Breeze-Ups and is a potential fly in the ointment, while market support for fellow debutant Brotherly Love would be interesting.

This can go to SIREN SUIT who sets a strong form standard on his Ascot run in April. The newcomers all need a market check.
Class & Speed Card

A tad unlucky when narrowly denied at Huntingdon in May, SNATCH A GLANCE is likely to have more improvement to come and he can strike, with Fern O'Brien taking off a valuable 5lb. Runner-up when only worn down late in the piece on debut at Worcester, Noonetellsmenothin is expected to be thereabouts again along with Miracles Do Happen, who makes her first start for Tom Lacey since arriving from Ireland.

The vote goes to SNATCH A GLANCE, who had a near-miss at Huntingdon in May and is open to more progress on his return.
Class & Speed Card

Three of these finished in close proximity in a course and distance contest last month and GAME PHOENIX may fare best on this occasion. The dual-purpose performer came home strongly from off the pace to finish fourth then and Ben Coen takes the mount again. She goes without the hood this time but didn't wear it when a fast-finishing second at Cork in May. Having been backed into favouritism, Launch Time had to wait for a run before finishing just in front of the selection here last time and merits respect along with fifth, Sottsands, who has since been placed over 1m1f. Easy Punchestown winner Searcog almost followed up at Down Royal and is a major player too.

Unlucky in running over C&D last month, GAME PHOENIX can now reverse form with Launch Time
Class & Speed Card

With a number of intriguing newcomers heading to post, the market is likely to be the best guide. Gold Star Gazing, Mostaan and Cerulean Blue make considerable appeal, but preference is for TITLE ROLE. The son of Too Darn Hot has been absent since being pipped by the high-class Humidity at Newbury in May, but he returns with his yard among the winners. Bred to handle an artificial surface, he could overcome the layoff to lose his maiden tag.

If TITLE ROLE returns in anything like the form as when just beaten by Humidity on his Newbury debut then he will take the beating.
Class & Speed Card

BALLISTIC MISSILE is without a win since his debut success but the Mehmas colt has faced some stiff assignments, most notably in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. His latest effort, when far from disgraced in a warm nursery at York, would suggest he's more than capable from his current mark. Richard Hannon's colt is now afforded an ease in class, which can enable him to repel the likes of Windsor scorer Angel Of Anfield and Art Lover, who would have finished closer at Doncaster had he not been denied a clear run.

Angel Of Anfield and Art Lover are respected but BALLISTIC MISSILE remains capable of better and is narrowly preferred.
Class & Speed Card

An open contest in which only a tentative vote can go to BRAVE NATION, whose recent form figures don't tell the whole story. The five-year-old hasn't been in the winner's enclosure since August of last year, but his handicap mark is now reflecting that. Five furlongs has looked on the sharp side for some time so, should a step up in trip have the desired effect, he could offer some value. Wolverhampton novice winner Grey Jaguar merits respect, while others to note include Dapper Valley and Space Cowboy.

Top of the list is KOSOMETSUKE, who has form figures of 122261 since switched to handicaps and is open to more progress back on AW.
Class & Speed Card

Just denied on each of his two starts here this year, including last month over C&D, FROSTMAGIC is taken to regain the winning thread, despite having to overcome a wide draw. Moonjid may have disappointed in the Leger Legends race, but he is better judged on his previous narrow defeat at Carlisle over slightly further. Margorie is fancied to go well up in trip on her handicap bow, having sprung a surprise over 6f at Windsor.

The vote goes to BEAR ISLAND (nap) who won over C&D in July and had three of these behind when fourth at Southwell last month.
Class & Speed Card

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between HUSCAL (second) and One More (third) and Charlie Hills' gelding is taken to go one better, despite being 1lb worse off at the weights. Dual course winner Tennessee Gold is dropping in the handicap, while Calyxoh is a threat if judged on his Newbury triumph rather than his subsequent Ascot defeat.

Following a wind op it may be worth siding with METAVERSE, whose record over C&D reads 121.
Class & Speed Card

A tentative vote goes to ROVINIA, who has been placed over 6f on each of her last four starts and has given the impression that stepping up in trip could unlock the improvement needed to break the maiden. A creditable fourth over shorter here last month on his first start for new connections, Equalised must enter calculations, along with Campani, who is best judged on his success at Brighton in August. Others to note include Polar Rebel and Step Along.

Brian Toomey's handicap debutant KNIGHT OF INDIA looks on a fair mark and is open to improvement now entering this sphere.

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.
