Nibras Rainbow

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

Nibras Rainbow won here sixteen days ago over ten furlongs. He is now upped in trip and could get involved again if staying the distance this time.

19:15 7:15 Newcastle

Pit Boss

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

Pit Boss is a consistent type who is still a maiden. He has run well here, having placed twice over the distance, and could hit the frame again.

19:00 7:00 Dundalk

Hell Left Loose

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken on Hell Left Loose to follow up his most recent win. He won over course and distance nine days ago and Nicola Burns is back on board. Could do well.

18:45 6:45 Newcastle

Darlo Pride

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Darlo Pride returns after an absence of nearly nine months. He may need the run, having not run well fresh in the past. Nevertheless, a course and distance winner, he looks over-priced and still could go well at a price.

18:00 6:00 Dundalk

Exquisite Acclaim

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Both of the Adrian McGuinness runners are of interest: Apache Outlaw and Exquisite Acclaim. The former is making his first attempt over a mile. The latter is the choice, with a recent run a fortnight ago over seven furlongs here. That was after a break, and he most probably needed the run. He was in decent form earlier in the year and could hit the frame.

17:00 5:00 Dundalk

Inishmot Prince

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

Inishmote Prince's last win was over a year ago. However, he showed some return to form when placing third behind Tomarlo and Buddy Batt over course and distance just over three weeks ago. He has had an excellent record here in the past and could out-run his odds.

03 December 2025

20:10 8:10 Kempton

Romantic Spirit

Daily Racing

25 EW

@SP

Lose

-50

Romantic Spirit comes here in very decent form. She has a chance to get involved from a reasonable draw in stall eight and is one to consider for the frame.

Master Milliner

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

Both of Emma Lavelle's runners, Zoran and Master Milner, have an excellent record here. However, the latter has won two Class 2 races and, despite his recent poor runs, a chance is taken that he could bounce back.

18:25 6:25 Dundalk

Pepper Noir

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

Pepper Noir returns after a six-month break. She finished last in a competitive race at Gowran Park on her last outing. Now she is being dropped in grade and may have a revival. One to consider for the frame.

17:25 5:25 Dundalk

Sovereign Banter

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@21.00

Win

Gordon Bennett is of interest, but a chance is taken that Sovereign Banter could bounce back, defying his significant penalty. He won over course and distance in October and followed it up with a 7th place the same month. He is one to consider for the frame despite the handicapper.

16:55 4:55 Dundalk

@7.50

Win

Velver Skies' last win was at Navan in October. His overall record on the all-weather is only one win from fifteen attempts. However, he has placed three times over course and distance and, from a decent draw, could get involved again.

15:05 3:05 Lingfield

Lahina Bay

Daily Racing

25 EW

@5.00

Lose

-50

Lahina Bay comes here seeking a hat-trick. She won over course and distance eight days ago and is expected to follow up or get very close.

12:30 12:30 Lingfield

Mount Of Gold

Daily Racing

25 EW

@51.00

Lose

-50

A speculative chance is taken on Mount of Gold, who is being significantly stepped up in trip. After a long list of mediocre performances, she showed a marked improvement when tackling ten furlongs for the first time on her latest run. She may appreciate the longer trip.

02 December 2025

18:15 6:15 Newcastle

Bobby Joe Leg

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken on the veteran Booby Joe Leg, who has an exemplary record at Newcastle. He returns after a six-month break. He was quiet in his last few runs but did a double in March. His stable has had a couple of winners in the last few days, so he could go well and surprise.

13:30 1:30 Lingfield

Dios De La Guerra

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@51.00

Lose

-50

Dios De La Guerra is still a maiden, and he performed poorly on his last run at Kempton. He showed some promise when placing third over course and distance back in March. A return of that form may give him a chance to get involved.

01 December 2025

20:30 8:30 Wolverhampton

The Pug

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

The Pug showed improvement on his second run for his new yard at Southwell a month ago. A return to previous form puts him firmly in the frame, and he is an each-way option.

Shielas Well

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Shielas Well is making her stable debut. She was relatively consistent when with Grant Tuer, and her last win was in June. She could go well for her new connections.

19:30 7:30 Wolverhampton

Vitalline

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

Vitaline has to overcome an outside draw, but he has been placed over course and distance before. He has Josephing Gordon in the saddle, which is a plus. Each-way possibilities.

19:00 7:00 Wolverhampton

Reputation

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Little Miss India

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@3.75

Lose

-50

In an open race with at least three main contenders, a chance is taken on one of the James Owen runners. Little Miss India comes here in decent form, as does the stable. She has a chance with blinkers and Jason Watson on board. Win NAP of the day.

16:25 4:25 Wolverhampton

Bessie Wallis

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.50

Lose

-50

Bessie Wallis won at Lingfield a month ago. This is more difficult, but she could follow up or get close again. Each-way hopeful.

15:57 3:57 Kempton

Follow Your Heart

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Follow Your Heart needs to bounce back after three poor runs. However, overall he has an excellent record here with four course-and-distance wins, and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back.

15:35 3:35 Plumpton

Jet Steel

Daily Racing

25 EW

@11.00

Lose

-50

Jet Steel had the benefit of a run at Chepstow where he placed a distant fourth. He should have come on for that run and could get closer this time.

Flight Plan

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Castle Quarter

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Castle Quarter needs to bounce back from his Fontwell run three weeks ago where he placed a distant 4th. He won his prior race at Uttoxeter by two lengths, and that result puts him in the frame.

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

Dark Lieutenant

Daily Racing

25 EW

@SP

Lose

-50

-50

Pooley's Promise returns after a six-month break. She won at Ffos Las in May and followed it up with a respectable fourth place at Uttoxeter. Could go well and out-run her odds.

15:23 3:23 Carlisle

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Win

660

Super Citizen's form has tailed off. He was in reasonable shape at the beginning of the year, ending with a win in April. After that the form dropped. He could make a revival and sneak into a place.

14:36 2:36 Fairyhouse

Maxxum

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken on the outsider of the three Gordon Elliott runners. Maxxum had the benefit of a recent run a fortnight ago where he placed 4th. He should have a chance on previous form and looks overpriced.

14:25 2:25 Leicester

My Bobby Dazzler

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

Bolsover Bill looks interesting, but he has been off the track for over 20 months, so he is an unknown. Instead, a chance is taken that Bobby Dazzler could bounce back now that he has been dropped in class and trip.

He's An Angel is making his stable debut for Kevin Frost. He has run poorly this year but was in great form the year before when with Peter Niven, completing a four-timer including two wins at Wolverhampton. With Kevin Frost's stable in fine form, a chance is taken that he will perform on debut.

@17.00

Lose

-50

Difficult choice between Kiwi Rush and Burntcourt Boy. The choice is the latter, as Kiwi Rush returns after a long break and wind surgery, while Burntcourt Boy had the benefit of a recent run, which was also his stable debut.
