Blow Your Wad

Daily Racing

50 EWNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@6.00

Push

Blow Your Wad is sure to have been aimed at this. Tom Lacey's lightly raced individual can go better than the last two stable representatives that have placed here. First time after wind operation, tongue-tied, and first-time visor all point to a big run here.

Half A Chance

Daily Racing

50 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deductionBest Odds Guaranteed SP 8.00 used instead of 7.50 takenBOG

@8.00

Win

Consistent sort from Ireland who has placed in several races holding his form well and would not be winning out of turn in what looks like an open contest for trainer and son combination.

Strong Leader

Daily Racing

@3.25

Win

225

Looks like the class horse in the race. Stays well and won't lack for fitness as he has won first time out. With the champion jockey riding, he seems the likely winner here.

00:25 00:25 Del Mar

Argos

Daily Racing

100 EW

@15.00

Lose

-200

European challengers are mostly badly drawn and stepping up in trip. In what is likely to be a fast-run race, I prefer one proven in top-class company over a mile already, and Argos fits the bill, having won a Grade 1 last time. Heeeres Johnny may run well at a bigger price too.

Ted Noffey

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@2.38

Win

276

Ted Noffey has shown exceptional form to win his two races easily and has looked top class in the process. It will be a major surprise if he is beaten here.

Opposing wide-drawn favorite with one that has done nothing wrong in two runs. Comes here unbeaten, drawn well in four, and has the help of Frankie in the saddle.

22:25 22:25 Del Mar

Bottle Of Rouge

Daily Racing

100 EW

@5.50

Lose

-200

Bottle of Rouge made a sensational debut in Grade 1, and I expect him to maintain places with Explora and be bang there at the lollipop for Bob Baffert, who looks to have a strong pair in this contest.

21:45 21:45 Del Mar

Brussels

Daily Racing

100 EW

@9.00

Win

Brussels likes to race prominently, and granted a clean break, should be able to hold a perfect draw position and go close in this contest around a track that favors prominent racers.

17:45 5:45 Southwell

Badri

Daily Racing

100 EW

@8.00

Lose

-200

Badri is a multiple course and distance winner, who finished a respectable eighth in Ayr Gold Cup last time at 66/1. Dropping in class, he gets his correct conditions here and with a clear passage is going to be bang there at the business end at lovely odds.

16:10 4:10 Southwell

Betelgeuse

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@SP

Lose

-200

Betelgeuse ran away with a course and distance contest last time out and can follow up if in the same form against some out-of-form rivals, allowing for his eight-pound rise for the win.

15:47 3:47 Down Royal

Romeo Coolio

Daily Racing

200 WINNBNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 1.67 used instead of 1.50 takenBOG

@1.67

Win

133

A race where Gordon Elliott has introduced top-class performers in the past. This year, Romeo Coolio, if granted a clear round, should add to this. Top-class as a hurdler, he looked like he had the size and scope to develop into a high-class chaser this year.

15:05 3:05 Uttoxeter

Jax Junior

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-200

Jax Junior, as the only front runner in this field, may be able to set easy fractions and hold off late challengers to make a successful return. The main danger is Lump Sum, who had good hurdling form last season.

14:47 2:47 Newmarket

Castle Rock

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@1.67

Win

134

Castle Rock could be another winner for Charlie Appleby and young Toby Moore. This newcomer should take this ordinary contest before stepping up to bigger and better things next season.

14:20 2:20 Wetherby

Ammes

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@SP

Lose

-200

Armes has the form and experience to win this, and a reproduction of his last run under the champion jockey should suffice, with The Bell Hop the only danger for the forecast.

13:40 1:40 Newmarket

Parisiac

Daily Racing

100 EWNAP

@10.00

Lose

-200

Parisiac has held his form well and is a previous course and distance winner here at Newmarket, in this race in 2023. Iain Jardine sends him on a 300-mile trip, and with Jamie Spencer steering, he must go close here.

30 October 2025

Dapper Guest

Dapper Guest is unbeaten on all weather and is a course and distance winner. Showed that was still in good form winning easily last time and expected to go close here.

Applesandpears

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@2.20

Win

240

ApplesandPears made a solid debut, starting slowly but staying on nicely at the end. The extra furlong here will be in his favor and should put that experience to good use.

14:47 2:47 Stratford

Be Aware

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@2.62

Win

324

Be Aware is trained by Dan Skelton who has won this race several times previously and this looks like a strong contender again. Sure to have been well schooled and in the ideal ratings spread point to a positive run.

Triggered

Daily Racing

100 EW

@8.00

-200

Triggered is a previous winner here and always seems to be competitive in his races. Another positive run looks probable for the father-son combination of trainer/jockey.

14:17 2:17 Nottingham

Masked Warrior

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-200

Masked Warrior is running for the in-form stable of William Haggas and can be another winner in what looks like a match between two at the top of the market. Ran in a competitive maiden at Newbury that has provided subsequent winners.

14:07 2:07 Fakenham

Zahra Dodville

Daily Racing

200 WINNB

@1.91

Zahra Dodville has first run for new trainer after debut in France. Champion jockey booked for this and clear round should allow a successful start.

Ran really well on nursery debut finishing fourth only a length behind the winner, running on all the way to the line. Should go close here with a similar run.

Have You A Minute

Daily Racing

100 EW

@5.00

Lose

-200

Have a Minute has great course form, finishing first or second on the last three visits. Last time at Southwell, he kept finding his run blocked and finished a close-up fifth, full of running. A similar run puts him bang in contention back at his favorite venue.

20:00 8:00 Wolverhampton

Hes A Gentleman

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@2.38

Win

He's a Gentleman is a course and distance winner and went close last time out, dropping to Class 5. He looks sure to go close here in a similar contest.

Asinara

200 WINNAP

Charlie Hills sends Asinara as his sole representative here and his runner has shown admirable consistency and form and should take this ordinary contest.

Crown Office

Daily Racing

200 WINNB

@2.38

Win

276

Crown Office could be another winner for the in-form team of William Haggas and Cieran Fallon. Slowly away on both runs, but appeared not to stay seven furlongs last time. Returns to six here and drops in class and should use experience to good use here if breaking better.

27 October 2025

@3.75

Win

330

Doctor Kildare ran some fair races last season when with Nicky Henderson. The last start was disappointing, but he has since moved to Sam Thomas. It will be interesting if Sam can unlock this horse's potential as he looks feasibly handicapped, and a tongue tie is tried here on the first run for his stable.

15:30 3:30 Wexford

Rockys Diamond

Daily Racing

In what looks like a match between the top two in the market, Rockys Diamond might be able to beat Willie Mullins' representative to follow up last time's win.

Longest traveler of the day here for a trainer that knows the time of day when getting one prepared for debut. Can be expected to know its job here and outrun his odds.

Getaway King

Daily Racing

200 WINNBNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 3.00 used instead of 2.50 takenBOG

@3.00

Win

400

Getaway King has his first run for Fergal O'Brien here, coming from Irish point-to-points, and there seems to be a lot of confidence behind him. The jockey has three winners from five rides in the last two weeks, and the stable has had winners, so he must go close here.

14:00 2:00 Galway

Quornofamonday

Daily Racing

100 EW

@21.00

Lose

-200

Hasn't reproduced the form of his win at Fairyhouse last season but would have a chance on his best form in what looks like an ordinary contest. Made a mistake last time and unseated the rider but is normally quite a sound jumper. If he gets into rhythm, he should be thereabouts here.

12:40 12:40 Aintree

My Bobby Dazzler

Daily Racing

100 EWNAP

@13.00

Lose

-200

My Bobby Dazzler is already a course and distance winner at Aintree and is Mel Rowley's only runner at a track where she has a 33% strike rate. The jockey has won with four of his last seven rides in the last two weeks, so confidence is high. All this points to a positive run today at a lovely price.

24 October 2025

Luck Between Us

The trainer has a good strike rate at Sligo, and this is his sole representative who looks to have a fine chance of placing at least in this ordinary contest.

Traprain Law

-200

Lovely each-way price for a horse that is fit from a fine second at Kelso on ground too quick. It can use that to good stead in this contest on more suitable ground and make the long trip south worthwhile.

13:06 1:06 Newbury

Aighear

Traveled a long way down from Scotland, and the hint should be taken as Jim Goldie doesn't just send one that far without a chance.

Home And Dry

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@5.00

Win

Sole front runner in field and only one to have proven form over two miles on this surface, he may well be Home and Dry by dictating the pace and proving hard to pass.

Summer Heat

Daily Racing

100 EW

@3.75

Always worth noting when the champion jockey rides for Saeed bin Suroor, and this individual looks primed to go close here after consistently running well this season.

19:00 7:00 Southwell

Counting Cards

Daily Racing

200 WINNB

@3.25

Lose

-200

Having been gelded and had a wind op since we last saw him, Counting Cards seems to have had his share of problems but if all is well now he starts off what looks like a reasonable mark in handicap company.

15:30 3:30 Nottingham

Harswell Duke

Daily Racing

100 EWNAP

@11.00

Lose

-200

Harswell Duke might go close back on suitable ground as softer the better. Fitted with a first-time visor, this front runner may prove difficult to pass here.

15:07 3:07 Ludlow

Histrionic

Daily Racing

200 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-200

On last year's hurdling form Histrionic would have a fair chance to make a winning introduction to chases. Size and scope means he has the look of a chaser and is with a leading stable that should have him straight enough here.

15:00 3:00 Nottingham

Majestic Leo

Daily Racing

50 EW

@51.00

Lose

-100

Majestic Leo was a fair maiden on the flat for Ralph Beckett and returns to the flat here in his first handicap. He may see improvement on two lacklustre runs over hurdles last time.

Glance Of Glory

Glance Of Glory starts on a fair mark in his first handicap and can supplement his last time out victory in a maiden hurdle over this course and distance with another success here under the champion jockey.

Made a solid return to action at Fontwell finishing third and can show the benefit of that race fitness especially if allowed to bowl along in front. Expect him to be bang there today.

@2.20

Lose

-200

Ballintubber Boy shows his best form at this time of year, having won in the last three Octobers, and can win this contest following a warm-up on his seasonal debut to blow cobwebs today. The stable is in form, and the trainer's son should steer this for another winner.

Groundsman

Daily Racing

100 EWNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 9.00 used instead of 6.00 takenBOG

@9.00

Win

Groundsman made all over this course and distance in September. Since then, he has moved stables from R Fahey to D Loughnane under the same ownership. Well berthed in one for a prominent racer and only four pounds higher. A repeat must be a possibility under Billy Loughnane for his father.

Sophias Starlight

Daily Racing

@3.50

Sophia's Starlight won this last year, and the ground has come right for a repeat performance. Looked to be coming back to form last time and surely has been aimed at this.

Kevin Frost and Jack Mitchell have a fair strike rate when teaming up. The combination joins forces here, and this dual course and distance winner drops in class, pointing to a positive run being expected.

Holloway Boy

100 EW

@19.00

Win

259

Hasn't run since April, but that should not be an inconvenience. Has a big weight to carry here but drops into a handicap from listed company and always seems to run his race. Is the class horse in the race, hence the weight. Will be fresh, and I am willing to take a chance with him each way for his shrewd, in-form stable.

15:25 3:25 Ascot

Rosallion

Daily Racing

@6.00

Lose

-200

Rosallion loves this place and can be expected to pull out a big performance. If the favourite is back to his best, he should win. But a value bet to nothing each way is Rosallion around here, and if there are any chinks in the favourite's armour, Rosallion will find them.

14:05 2:05 Ascot

Kind Of Blue

Daily Racing

-200

Kind of Blue won this last year and looks like he has been aimed at it again. Showing that he is returning to form in the last two runs, I expect him to go close here.

Venture Capital

Daily Racing

100 EWNAP

@6.00

Push

Venture Capital has been consistent in his runs this season and only gave way in the last furlong at Ascot last time. This looks a weaker contest and with conditions in his favour must have an outstanding chance here.
