There were 35 Races on Monday 17th November 2025 across 5 meetings. There was 8 races at Navan, 7 races at Plumpton, 6 races at Leicester, 6 races at Exeter, 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

CLASSICAL CREEK has smart form and represents a yard that targets this meeting. A 10-length winner of a point-to-point and successful on his bumper debut, he also finished third in a Listed bumper here last December. He hasn't raced since and was withdrawn lame from Graded races in February and April, but will be ready for his reappearance. Fillyoureye, a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Colreevy, won a bumper in the spring but although open to progression over jumps, that Kilbeggan form isn't outstanding and he might struggle to beat the selection. The Store Boy has shown ability, while Agameoftwohalves is out of a triple bumper winner.

Gordon Elliott has won this in three of the last four years and could hold the ace here with CLASSICAL CREEK
Class & Speed Card

WATCHING THE CLOCK is a progressive four-year-old who should be suited by reverting to this distance. Her initial form was unexciting but having scored on soft ground at Gowran last month, she subsequently finished well for fourth at Punchestown. She can continue to progress and the extra half-mile will help. Similarly, Paul's Dream steps up in trip, having been in contention when falling at the second-last in Cheltenham. She could well improve at this distance, but is unproven on heavy ground. Killinure Lass wasn't disgraced at Thurles when attempting to follow up on her earlier Tramore success and must enter calculations from an unchanged mark.

A lot in with chances, but the tentative nod is given to WATCHING THE CLOCK, who is in the mix with a better round of jumping
Class & Speed Card

El Galactico confirmed the promise of his debut second when accounting for an in-form opponent at Uttoxeter and the time he has been given off since will have helped him strengthen further. Fountains Blenhein ran out a bloodless winner at Fontwell but they have to concede 7lb to CALVINO, who was denied by a shock scorer at Newton Abbot and can atone on his second attempt at hurdles. Manigod showed ability on the level in France and has been bought for 40,000 euros.

The race that FOUNTAINS BLENHEIN won at Fontwell rather fell apart but he could do no more than win as he did.
Class & Speed Card

COLONIA VICTORIA is useful and should compete from her 118 rating. Placed fourth at Group 3 level on the Flat in Italy in 2023, she scored over hurdles at Cork back in April, beating a now 119-rated runner-up, while the third also scored subsequently. She conceded weight to the winner at Wexford recently and has form on soft ground. Lambay Island was heavily supported when finishing a close enough third on his return at Thurles. That form is unexciting, but he met race-fit rivals on lively ground and can progress. Scalpnagoon's last two starts were disappointing, but he had previously shown ability and it is encouraging that Jack Kennedy rides on his reappearance.

None of them jump off the page, so although COLONIA VICTORIA looks like further will suit better perhaps she can get away with it here
Class & Speed Card

MACCARELLU recorded some useful form when racing in France and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to make a winning stable bow. Venetia Williams' gelding has already proved himself in testing conditions and is taken to repel chief threat Patrimonio. The four-year-old fetched 80,000 pounds after finishing second in an Irish point-to-point and market support would be interesting. Hot To Go may fare best of the remainder.

The choice is MACCARELLU, who is more exposed than his rivals, but showed a fair level of form in his six runs over hurdles in France
Class & Speed Card

Paul Nicholls and Patrick Mullins strike up a formidable partnership with IT'S A BREEZE. The 120,000-euro half-brother to classy mare Impervious didn't really build on a decent hurdling debut, but starts handicap life off a mark of just 103 and can make the most of it. Clear Storm has made the frame on her last five completed outings and should be thereabouts again, although most feared is the consistent Tropical Speed, even though he has been on the go all year. Washington Singer is worth a look too.

Plenty of these have questions to answer. WASHINGTON SINGER is thoroughly unexposed ahead of this handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

Having come good at the second time of asking between the flags, the JP McManus-owned HARRY LOWES could prove a useful prospect now debuting under Rules. The Walk In The Park gelding has enough speed in his pedigree to cope with an extended 2m and he edges the vote over Kado Sacree. Olly Murphy's charge boasts a similar profile and market support could prove significant. French import Aguellid - also in the McManus colours - is of interest too.

Point winner HARRY LOWES is taken to make a winning start for Dan Skelton. Fellow point winner Kado Sacree may be the main threat.
Class & Speed Card

ACE BRANNIGAN looked capable in winning last month and remains unexposed. Well related, he finished a close second on point-to-point debut last December and, at Tipperary, defeated last weekend's Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle winner Letos comfortably. He has form on soft ground and is suited by this distance. Capable but keen, I'll Sort That was under pressure when left clear at the last in Galway and although 4lb worse off with Ma Jacks Hill, can confirm the form if he settles better. It is a negative that Theflyingking is his trainer's apparent second string because he is closely matched with I'll Sort That on bumper form and was unlucky last time at Down Royal.

ACE BRANNIGAN (nap) comprehensively beat subsequent Brown Lad winner Letos last time and can defeat main rival I'll Sort That
Class & Speed Card

Having posted creditable efforts in defeat at Uttoxeter and Exeter, Mind Hunter is likely to be at the forefront of the market given the question marks surrounding most of his rivals. However, he may prefer quicker ground conditions and could be worth taking on with ARCTIC SAINT. Deborah Cole's inmate finished third in last year's renewal, and the reapplication of cheekpieces could eke out the necessary improvement. Jukebox D'eddy is the pick of the remainder.

These conditions are ideal for GOGUENARD who is taken to win his first race since March 2024. Arctic Saint is his main danger.
Class & Speed Card

Bond Broker is perhaps flattered by his form figures because although he has finished second on all three starts since completing a hat-trick, he has been soundly beaten on each occasion. He still warrants consideration but of more interest is SIAM PARK, who may have needed the run when fading into third at Newton Abbot and is expected to see his race out a lot better. No Risk With Lou showed more when dropped to this level at Huntingdon, while Alto Alto always commands attention at this circuit.

None of the five can be dismissed. BOND BROKER has bumped into improving types in both his chases.
Class & Speed Card

Having maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles in a Listed event here in February, Fingle Bridge merits plenty of respect on his opening bid over the larger obstacles. He boasts all the attributes to excel in this discipline and isn't taken lightly, but Grade 1 winner LULAMBA will prove a tough nut to crack. Nicky Henderson's Triumph Hurdle runner-up is an exciting prospect for novice chasing and the sky looks the limit. Salver and Tripoli Flyer add further spice to the mix.

4yo Grade 1 hurdle winner LULAMBA has star potential and can make a winning chase debut. Salver is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Manganese ran out a ready winner on her debut in France and it will be interesting to see if she attracts support in the market on her UK/stable bow. However, TRAD JAZZ was a decent sort on the level during the spring and she could have too much toe for these rivals. James Owen's filly was last seen finishing a respectable fourth in a Listed event at Goodwood and holds obvious claims. Emily Rebecca may fare best of the remainder.

Manganese commands respect but TRAD JAZZ should be taking care of these, provided she handles conditions.
Class & Speed Card

Gordon Elliott's THE YELLOW CLAY is two from two over hurdles at this venue and his proven ability on testing ground will be a real asset to him. Although he would prefer a sounder surface, he powered clear on heavy ground to land a Grade 3 at this festival last year. Jetara is race-fit from the Flat and has a couple of placed efforts in Grade 1 company at Aintree and Punchestown to call upon. She has the assistance of Paul Townend and is a big player. Elliott's Maxxum is only rated 3lb inferior to The Yellow Clay and is a winner at Grade 2 level over flights around here. He is more than capable of a big run from the front.

Denied a recent comeback run at Down Royal due to a skin allergy, THE YELLOW CLAY looks the one to beat
Class & Speed Card

Wind surgery appears to have been the making of Nardaran because he returned with a facile success here before following up at Sandown. The extra half-mile asks a sterner question of him, as does his penalty, so the vote goes to LISTENTOYOURHEART, who has kept good company since winning a Listed mares' novices' hurdle and kept on for fourth in the Welsh Champion Hurdle. Goblet Of Fire is still fairly treated in this sphere and has to be taken seriously.

Plenty with chances but GOBLET OF FIRE (nap) is a likeably consistent gelding under both codes and Plumpton should suit his style.
Class & Speed Card

There was plenty to like about A PATH TO RONDA's winning hurdles bow at Stratford and she looks more than capable of defying a 7lb penalty. Supreme Malinas finished just behind the selection in a Listed bumper at Sandown in March and is feared most on her first appearance over timber. Merely A Detail has placed in both outings over obstacles and is the pick of the remainder.

A Path To Rhonda needs respecting under her penalty, but preference is for SUPREME MALINAS who was equally as effective in bumpers.
Class & Speed Card

With a few having something to prove, it looks best to side with LITTLE VENICE, who is able to compete from an unchanged mark having struck the woodwork at Uttoxeter. Neil Mulholland's filly won't need much more to break her hurdling duck, although nor will Voodoo Angel, who could benefit from the application of first-time cheekpieces. Kupka Vallis completes the shortlist.

Although KUPKA VALLIS lacks a recent run she could be well treated for her handicap debut after an improved run at Wincanton last time.
Class & Speed Card

DINOBLUE returns to action in search of a four-timer and has an enviable strike-rate over fences. She ploughs through attritional ground and can pick up where she left off last term. Found A Fifty had to dig deep to repel Solness in this event 12 months ago and will appreciate the drop in distance after coming up short as favourite in the 3m Champion Chase at Down Royal. Captain Guinness won this race in 2022 and 2023 so shouldn't be underestimated.

Likely plenty of pace on here which should play into the hands of the mare DINOBLUE
Class & Speed Card

FINAL STRAW made a successful beginning to his handicap career at Kempton a week ago, handling the step up to an extended 3m with aplomb. As that came in a conditionals' event, he escapes a penalty and his amateur rider takes 7lb off his back. It will be a surprise if he is beaten, although I Look How I Look has occupied the runner-up berth a couple of times and could be a threat if ready to roll following an absence. Annie Nail might do better for the return to hurdles.

In a weak race, the chances are that FINAL STRAW will follow up last week's win at Kempton off the same mark.
Class & Speed Card

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY bolted up on his chasing bow at Fontwell last month and although 7lb higher now, that experience could be crucial. The son of Jet Away can use it to his advantage and he might need to to repel the challenge of dual novice hurdle winner That's Nice, who makes her fencing/handicap debut. Others to note include Pony Soprano and Barlovento.

Preference is for REALLYNTRUTHFULLY (nap), who looked a good prospect when winning on his chase debut and can defy the 7lb rise.
Class & Speed Card

Despite finishing a well-held fourth on his hurdling bow at Cheltenham last month, this will be much less taxing for ISLAND BRIDGE. The five-year-old ought to relish testing conditions, given that his point win came on heavy ground, and natural improvement may suffice. Kicour La finished second between the flags in February and is of interest on this Rules bow, while Our Bobby Dazzler is worth some thought.

Preference is for ISLAND BRIDGE, who ran well for a long way in a warm 3m novice on last month's hurdle debut at Cheltenham.
Class & Speed Card

BALLYNAHEER arrives at the top of his game, making the top two in each of his last four appearances and justifying favouritism with plenty up his sleeve at Warwick recently. A further 6lb rise isn't unduly harsh and he is worth sticking with, although Unspeakable did just deny him at Hereford last month and is 5lb better off. Christian Williams' seven-year-old does, however, have a subsequent poor display over hurdles to bounce back from. One Last Glance will also be happier back over the larger obstacles.

Something has clicked with BALLYNAHEER and he looks good to follow up his win at Warwick off what is effectively a 1lb higher mark.
Class & Speed Card

KOPEK DES BORDES makes his eagerly-awaited debut over fences and is hard to get away from. He is a dual Grade 1 winner over flights, including in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival, and is the ante-post favourite for the Arkle in March following positive updates on his schooling over fences. Jump Allen has acquitted himself well over timber and is proven over further, while the lightly-raced Lovely Hurling and the returning Harvard Guy add more spice to the mix.

All eyes will be on KOPEK DES BORDES on chasing debut, although he'll have to give his fences more respect than he did his hurdles
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to point-to-point winner SPECIAL JOHN, who posted a number of creditable efforts over hurdles last term. Now in the care of Sam Thomas, whose team is in excellent form, he can progress for the switch to fences and continue that trend. Mythe Bridge shouldn't be far away if ready to roll on his seasonal return, while Moonlight Artist heads the remainder.

With chase experience, Mythe Bridge needs respecting but preference is for SPECIAL JOHN on his chase and stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

Bragbor has barely put a foot wrong so far and that probably helped persuade Richard Fahey to go to 50,000gns for him at the Horses-In-Training sale. He found a Gosden three-year-old too good here last time, though, and that could be the case again because NEBRAS got closest to a potential Pattern performer at Newmarket and there is more to come from him. Teumessias Fox never really looked like justifying favouritism in the London Middle Distance Series Final, but that market support suggests he could be ready to strike.

Teumessias Fox and Savvy Victory are respected but BRAGBOR was progressing for George Scott and can make a winning stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

WISE GUY failed to live up to market expectations on his return at Ffos Las recently, but that effort may be worth forgiving. Stuart Edmunds' gelding has been eased 2lb in the handicap, meaning he is now 10lb lower than when a beaten favourite in this contest 12 months ago. With that in mind, he could go close. Kalkaroo and Snapius are feared most.

This can go to WISE GUY (nap), who is on a good mark, goes well on testing ground and will be all the better for his reappearance run.
Class & Speed Card

HILL STATION so nearly supplemented a Stratford triumph at Fontwell and there was no certainly no disgrace in that display, especially considering the winner has gone in again twice subsequently. With that in mind, a 3lb rise might be lenient and Luke Scott gets on well with him. Zafaan has made the frame on his last couple of outings and shouldn't be far away, with Belcamo's Huntingdon second earning him a spot on the shortlist too. The juvenile Premier is very interesting on his handicap hurdle debut.

Premier takes the eye with his allowance but BIRTHDAY ANGEL is also unexposed over hurdles and has been doing well on the Flat.
Class & Speed Card

LEMMY CAUTION's homework has been good according to a recent stable tour and this point-to-point winner is fancied to make a successful transition to the racecourse for Gordon Elliott. Jet To Monte Carlo looks a significant threat as he cruised to victory by a wide margin in a Ballynoe point-to-point in March before switching to Emmet Mullins' yard. Leonard Vallis attracted support ahead of his debut in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last month and there was promise in his runner-up finish. Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Springs Steen is well worth a market check, while Le Roi Du Livet was narrowly denied in a bumper at Tramore last month.

This could be a shootout between expensive point purchases LEMMY CAUTION and Jet To Monte Carlo, with the vote given to the former
Class & Speed Card

HENRYSBROTHERJACK was on a sharp upward curve when last seen, winning three of his last four starts, although he is 8lb higher on his return to action. However, the yard could hardly be in better form and given that he has shown versatility regarding ground, it's possible he could find the required improvement. Diamatiste made a pleasing reappearance over C&D recently so must be considered, along with handicap debutant Jakar Du Moulin.

The Paul Nicholls-trained JAKAR DU MOULIN has potential off his opening mark and earns the vote ahead of Henrysbrotherjack.
Class & Speed Card

King Of Yorkshire and A Boy Named Mary have shown precious little so it is best to focus on the newcomers, namely a couple of Newmarket raiders. Ilraawi cost 220,000gns as a yearling and should come into his own over middle-distances next year, but MY LOVE IS KING is preferred. From an excellent family the Gosdens know well - he is out of a half-sister to their Coronation Stakes heroine Fallen For You - the son of Kingman is fancied to hit the ground running.

This appears likely to rest between the Newmarket raiders Ilraawi and MY LOVE IS KING. The latter is narrowly preferred.
Class & Speed Card

MR WONKA has been dropped 2lb for finishing third on his nursery debut, but that could prove a bit hasty because the winner followed up in Listed company and the runner-up went agonisingly close at Kempton a week later. Hugo Palmer's colt is proven on this surface too, having occupied the runner-up berth in a C&D maiden. Boy Named Sioux overcame a slight bit of waywardness to break through at Southwell and has a hood applied now. Illy's Roo is better than he could show at Haydock, while Light The Night Up and Alkumatic Jo Jo are interesting handicap newcomers.

Mr Wonka looks solid but ILLY'S ROO is given another chance to confirm the impression he created at Salisbury last month.
Class & Speed Card

A 2lb drop in the ratings for POPTY PING's latest third over C&D could prove lenient and a breakthrough victory might be on the cards. David O'Meara's filly found herself with too much to do and the introduction of cheekpieces may prove decisive. Stable debutant Parole Officer arrives on the back of a respectable fifth at Lingfield and is feared most, ahead of Panthere Noir, who should take to this surface.

Charlie Johnston is in excellent form and the attractively bred MAXWELLCAN is taken to make a winning nursery debut off a modest mark.
Class & Speed Card

APPLESANDPEARS built on encouraging introduction to score in fine style at Chelmsford and with Jack Callan removing a handy 5lb, she can defy a penalty to go in again. Clementines Star posted a positive debut effort over C&D in September and is one of the likelier threats, while it would come as no surprise were Karl Burke's youngster Gardening to go well first time out.

Gardening is a speedily-bred newcomer but APPLESANDPEARS can defy the penalty she picked up when winning tidily at Chelmsford.
Class & Speed Card

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to ORNE. Antony Brittain's charge has been falling down the handicap for some time now, but there were encouraging signs at Pontefract last month. If he takes another step forward on the Tapeta, it will be surprising if he doesn't play a leading role. Recent course winner Oriental Prince is of obvious interest, as is the progressive Maelstrom, and Stratusnine should not be underestimated on his comeback.

6f on deep ground was all too much for MAELSTROM (nap) last month but he can prove here that he is still ahead of the handicapper.
Class & Speed Card

A wide draw was the undoing of BERNALDA last time, but that should not be an issue here and the otherwise progressive daughter of Frankel is expected to bounce straight back. Stateira was given some time off following an underwhelming second appearance in a handicap and she remains open to improvement so it would be unwise to rule her out. Of the remainder, Donna Nook makes the most appeal.

Andrew Balding's STATEIRA still has some potential and her peak effors suggest there is still mileage in her mark.
Class & Speed Card

MACARONE has been rejuvenated by a switch to Ivan Furtado and completed a Wolverhampton double with a dominant display. He possesses plenty of pace so, if anything, the drop from 6f could see him in an even better light. J Street burst back into life when upgraded to second on that same Wolverhampton card, and has since left Furtado to join Mick and David Easterby. The Tim Easterby-trained Spirit Of Applause helps give the family a strong hand, with Dandy Dinmont and Our Absent Friends in the mix too.

A competitive sprint in which the return of cheekpieces could see TIRIAC make his first AW start a winning one.

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.
