17:40 5:40 Dundalk

Sottsands

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Win

100

Sottsands has run well in 3 of the last 4 starts (3rd/15, 5th/19, 3rd/14), giving hope that this track and trip could bring out some improvement to give the selection win claims but definite place claims.

17:05 5:05 Dundalk

Pliny

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

The Noel Meade trained Pliny has shaped well in 2 of 4 runs and has found an excellent opportunity in a weak looking race to lose the maiden tag.

16:35 4:35 Dundalk

Bucky Larson

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Old-timer Bucky Larson improved for the trainer switch to finish an excellent 2nd here earlier this month and has found a great opportunity to add to a number of good runs here at Dundalk.

Haughty

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Lorna Fowler runs an interesting contender in Haughty who shaped well here last time when 6th of 11. The trainer is very patient with her horses and the selection can attain a higher level of form.

16:01 4:01 Dundalk

Never Ever

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Never Ever improved on a debut gentle introduction to finish 4th of 9 last time at Leopardstown and could improve again now switched to an all-weather surface.

15:31 3:31 Dundalk

Daring Grace

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

In a race full of the O'Brien family horses, it often pays to have a small bet each way on one of the outsiders. Trained by Joseph, the well-bred Daring Grace could easily outrun these odds.

15:01 3:01 Dundalk

Albion Power

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Win

840

Albion Power ran well when winning here in February. Although disappointing since, it is risked as a small each-way wager to return to that form again here at Dundalk.

Brains

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@13.00

Lose

-50

Brains has slipped to an appealing mark, and if adopting aggressive front-running tactics, could slip the field and prove hard to peg back at a track where the nap has produced useful form in the past.

25 October 2025

17:18 5:18 Galway

Premier Rogue

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

Premier Rogue can take this for Noel Meade having improved on a debut 7th to finish an eyecatching 3rd earlier this month at Punchestown. This may not be as competitive.

16:40 4:40 Cheltenham

Bells Grove

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@10.00

Lose

-50

Any Irish trained runner in a GB Bumper must be respected and Bells Grove was only just beaten in a Downpatrick bumper last month, form that may be good enough against a lot of unknown quantities.

15:03 3:03 Galway

Kings Bucks

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

Kings Bucks could be useful, having won a point-to-point, then runner-up in a bumper to a decent Willie Mullins winner. That augurs well for today's hurdles debut with the stable in form.

14:55 2:55 Cheltenham

Moon Dorange

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

Moon D'Orange returns to Cheltenham, the scene of a brilliant win over fences in January. Hopefully, a similar gutsy performance today over hurdles can see the selection grab one of the 5 places on offer.

14:20 2:20 Cheltenham

Rock My Way

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@19.00

Lose

-50

Rock My Way has some very smart chase form notably when runner up here at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Looks certain to outrun these odds if fully fit today.

13:53 1:53 Galway

Kibris

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Kibris can improve on an encouraging debut runner up effort earlier this month at Cork and will prove to be an above average juvenile this season over hurdles.

13:45 1:45 Cheltenham

Soldiers World

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Soldier's World's best performance yet over hurdles was last month's runner-up effort at Listowel, and off this mark, the 5-year-old can go close.

13:30 1:30 Doncaster

Jer Batt

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@6.00

Lose

-50

Jer Batt can end the season on a high after a series of credible runs this season. Runner up in this race last year and reunited with Oisin Murphy, all looks set for a big run today.

13:10 1:10 Cheltenham

Scorsese

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Scorsese has always looked to be the type to make a decent chase and can go close on debut after 2 on the bounce over hurdles at the end of last season.

24 October 2025

19:15 7:15 Dundalk

Star Of Lady M

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

An each-way bet is advised on Star Of Lady M, who on best form holds very strong claims, particularly when 3rd this season in the Beverley Bullett at the end of August.

West Acre

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@6.50

Lose

-50

West Acre has been kept for this race and arrives fresh after a 111-day break. The form shown by the nap when winning twice over this minimum trip sets a high bar.

18:45 6:45 Dundalk

Rosie Frith

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.00

Win

100

Rosie Frith should be very competitive after just missing out by a neck when last raced here last month. That level of form sets a decent standard.

18:15 6:15 Dundalk

Hero Of The Hour

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 8.00 used instead of 6.50 takenBOG

@8.00

Win

Hero Of The Hour should get into the top 4 after finishing strongly here last time over the minimum trip. Today's extra furlong is ideal.

17:45 5:45 Dundalk

Tribal Moon

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.50

Win

Tribal Moon should at least place after a good run here 2 weeks ago when 3rd over this 7f trip. A decent jockey on board adds to confidence levels.

17:15 5:15 Dundalk

Independent Expert

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.50

Win

Independent Expert is the clear win selection having already won over track and trip. The selection has run some decent races in defeat notably when not beaten far in the Irish Cambridgeshire.

16:20 4:20 Sligo

Tropical Image

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.33

Lose

-50

Tropical Image is in form and can defy a rise in the weights following a win last time at Listowel in a competitive 16-runner handicap. This is no tougher.

23 October 2025

18:45 6:45 Chelmsford City

Massimo Blue

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.75

Lose

-50

Massimo Blue arrives here in top form following last week's win here which was followed 2 days later with another excellent run when runner up at Wolverhampton. In terms of recent form, that sets the bar pretty high.

17:25 5:25 Clonmel

Nakassama

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Nakassama is chanced each way, having won over hurdles during the summer at Hexham, then 2nd on the level at the Galway Festival. The last run can be forgiven, and the selection is on an attractive mark to spring a surprise this afternoon.

Toor Moon

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

Toor Moon made a very pleasing debut when runner-up at Downpatrick earlier this month, jumping perfectly well enough to suggest that the selection could do better over the larger obstacles.

16:55 4:55 Clonmel

Ollie La Ba Ba

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

If capable of transferring the same form shown last month when winning over hurdles, Ollie La Ba Ba is on a very attractive handicap mark in a race lacking real quality.

16:27 4:27 Southwell

Dandy Fitz

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

Dandy Fitz has the look of a sprinter about to return to winning form based on a close-up 3rd last time at Newcastle. With winning and placed form previously over this track and trip, all looks good for a big run.

15:52 3:52 Clonmel

Elusive Ogie

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@3.00

Lose

-50

Elusive Ogie is the correct favorite in this hurdle with a form of 133 in the last 3 hurdle starts. But crucially, shaping as though this step up in trip will see the nap to much better effect.

14:22 2:22 Clonmel

Irish Panther

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTETip made at odds of 1.33 on 23/10 at 13:190.10 deduction for Kentucky Beach@9.00 withdrawn at 13:27R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 0.33 x (1-0.10) = 1.30

@1.30

Win

This is a straightforward assignment for Irish Panther following a great run when signing off last season, finishing 3rd in an ultra competitive hurdle at the Punchestown festival.

22 October 2025

19:40 7:40 Kempton

Dramatic Star

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.88

Lose

-50

Dramatic Star is the obvious win bet with the pick of this year's form being an excellent runner up effort in the Old Borough Cup on penultimate start.

Prydwen

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

At double-figure odds, a small each-way bet could pay dividends on Prydwen, who has an impressive all-weather strike rate and finished 2nd last time when last raced at Chester last month, only collared close home.

19:10 7:10 Kempton

Local Hero

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 3.25 used instead of 2.88 takenBOG

@3.25

Win

112

The best bet on the card at Kempton this evening is Local Hero, who has good form at this track, including when runner-up last month. The overall form here is persuasive.

18:40 6:40 Kempton

Love Your Work

Daily Racing

25 EW

@7.50

Win

Love Your Work still looks well-treated and can win again after a nice success here at the start of this month over this evening's 1m trip.

18:10 6:10 Kempton

Wild Dahlia

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.63

Lose

-50

Wild Dahlia has form good enough to win on nursery debut following a good win last time at the start of this month when scoring at Chelmsford.

17:32 5:32 Navan

Bynx

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.00

Lose

-50

Bynx will be competitive and grab one of the 5 places available for each way purposes if reproducing the form shown last time when third at Thurles. Conditions are ideal today, giving the selection a great chance of winning for the first time on the flat.

16:30 4:30 Navan

Mickey The Steel

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@9.00

Win

Mickey The Steel can be competitive at this level as he is now a huge 14lb lower than when winner of this race last year. Two good runs this month in big field handicaps when 3rd/4th suggest a return to top form is imminent.

21 October 2025

18:30 6:30 Newcastle

Soul Seeker

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@29.00

Lose

-50

Soul Seeker has slipped to a lowly rating of 51 compared to winning exploits over this trip (won off a 32lb higher mark). Still only 8 years old, a return to any level of previous win/place form gives the nap very sound each-way claims.

17:00 5:00 Curragh

Syzygy

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.00

Win

210

Syzygy is the big recent improver in this race following 2 convincing wins in the last month. Conditions today are again ideal for at least a placed effort over a longer trip.

16:25 4:25 Curragh

Olympic Man

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.33

Lose

-50

Olympic Man won on the flat in France and performed at a decent level over fences for Willie Mullins. With jockeyship counting for so much in these type of events and with son Patrick riding it is no surprise to see Olympic Man near the top of the market.

15:45 3:45 Yarmouth

Spoof

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

I cannot resist a small each-way bet on an old favorite, Spoof, who has won previously off much higher marks, including over this track and trip (14lb lower today than that win here). The penultimate run when 4th of 14 at Haydock gives some hope.

Sturlasson

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@4.33

Win

166

Sturlasson has ran well on both occasions for this new stable since being switched from Ireland and remains well handicapped. The selection won on stable debut on the all weather at Southwell then 4th last week at Lingfield where the track didn't seem to suit. Conditions today look ideal for this potentially well handicapped horse.

20 October 2025

19:30 7:30 Wolverhampton

Ziggys Condor

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

Ziggys Condor has landed a good draw in stall 3 and has run 2 sound races on the last 2 starts when 2nd at Southwell, then 4th of 21 in a very competitive York handicap. Those runs increase confidence of a big run this evening.

17:25 5:25 Gowran Park

Alexa Next

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Alexa Next makes a handicap debut on a reasonable mark and can build on the potential shown in maidens. This shows that the selection has a decent level of ability for a contest like this.

Narlita

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Win

275

With form figures since July of 243, Narlita has been hitting the bar. Conditions look ideal today for another big run and hopefully that elusive win.

15:55 3:55 Bath

Asinara

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@4.00

Lose

-50

Asinara has won over this track and trip on its only run here in June at the minimum trip. The next run, when last seen, was again here over 6f last trip. An aggressive ride will see the nap go close in this.

19 October 2025

16:35 4:35 Leopardstown

Immutable

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.50

Lose

-50

Lightly raced this season with only 2 runs, Immutable produced an excellent 3rd last time earlier this month and with the rain arriving has sound claims over this trip.

Railwayview Lady

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.50

Lose

-50

Railwayview Lady has clear place claims with 5 on offer, after 2 excellent runs last month, winning at Navan then runner-up at Down Royal.

16:15 4:15 Limerick

In Excelsis Deo

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

In Excelsis Deo has ability, as shown when winning at Cheltenham in April 2024 when trained in England. If cutting out the jumping errors, the selection could run well at these odds.

Nara

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@13.00

Lose

-50

Winner of a Grade 2 novice chase at Thurles in January, Nara had only one subsequent start last season when pulled up in a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival. That win proved that the horse has ability and, if fit, will give a good account today.

15:26 3:26 Leopardstown

Shaool

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.50

Win

125

Shaool has been in great form in the last 2 runs at the Curragh, following a 2nd place finish with an excellent win in a very competitive handicap there last month.

14:25 2:25 Leopardstown

Norwalk Havoc

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.50

Win

225

Norwalk Havoc won this race last year and produced a seasonal best performance when runner up last time and with conditions now looking ideal, another big run is expected.

14:07 2:07 Limerick

Chosen Comrade

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@3.25

Win

112

Chosen Comrade is a solid bet to trouble the fav. A proper national hunt type, Chosen Comrade won a point, then a bumper in May and looks sure to go very close in this hurdle to complete the trio.

Fedneys Park

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@4.33

Lose

-9

Fedneys Park looks certain to place with possible win claims on hurdles debut having scored in a point in January. Now with the De Bromhead yard, further improvement can be expected.

14:00 2:00 Sedgefield

Frammy

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@3.00

Lose

-50

In what looks to be a match, Frammy is a solid bet in a race that will prove tactical. The form shown to date - 421 in bumpers, then 3rd on hurdles debut earlier this month, would normally be good enough to win a race like this.
