Horse Racing Tips Wednesday 2nd September 2026

ETIENNE at 1/6, Richard Spencer and Saffie Osborne, looks the pick of these. He drops in grade after running 4th in a Class 2, beaten 0.75L, drops to Class 5 and was staying on at the finish last time.

The main danger is OUR FELLA at 40/1 (in first-time headgear).

KEN BRULEE is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.7 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.

KEN BRULEE at 9/2, Mark Usher and Rob Hornby, is the one I would be with. He has already run to within touching distance off this sort of figure, beaten 1.75L off 53 on 18 December 2025 and won last time out.

The dangers are PORT HEDLAND at 7/1 (a course winner) and THE FEMININE URGE at 9/2 (well handicapped).

ROGUE REBELLION at 11/2, R Harris and Luke Morris, is the one I keep coming back to. He races off a mark 2lb below the 48 it won off, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 4 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The one worry is wrong side of the draw.

The dangers are SISTERS IN THE SKY at 7/2 (a course winner) and UP THE ANTI at 17/2 (a course winner).

JACKIE BROWN at 4/1, Adrian Wintle and Finley Marsh, is the one that stands out. He has won here, handles the ground, with a win from 8 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are FANCY DANCER at 9/2 (a course winner) and MART at 10/1 (well handicapped).

BASILETTE at 11/4, Jeff Mullins and George Downing, is the one I keep coming back to. He has already won around this track, handles the ground, with 2 wins from 15 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.

The dangers are CHERRY COLA at 12/1 (a course winner) and FRAM CASTLE at 10/3 (well handicapped).

BLUE HERO at 13/2, Adrian Wintle and Joe Leavy, gets the vote. He has won here 11 times and won last time out.

The one worry is run style against this track.

The dangers are WHO IS ALICE at 25/1 (from a yard in form) and SCEPTIC at 14/1 (went close off this mark).

Non-runners: Lovely Jubly.

ASSET at 4/1, Sir Mark Prescott Bt and Luke Morris, is the one I make it. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 1.75L off 77 on 11 August and comes from a yard in good heart at 43%.

The dangers are ARAVALLI at 7/1 (won last time) and SPIRIT OF JURA at 25/1 (went close off this mark).

BELLE AMIE at 9/4, David Simcock and Callum Shepherd, is the one I make it. He has won here and was staying on at the finish last time.

The dangers are TROJAN TRUTH at 9/1 (well handicapped) and JODHPUR BLUE at 5/1 (went close off this mark).

Not much to go on here with these largely unexposed, so I am leaning on the yard and who is riding.

ROYAL STRIKE gets the vote at 2/1 for K. R. Burke, ridden by Clifford Lee. K. R. Burke is running at 20% over the past fortnight.

The dangers are SOD HALL LANE at 11/10 and BACHA at 13/2.

Non-runners: Perryston.

IRIS DANCER at 4/1, Tristan Davidson and Rowan Scott, makes most appeal. He races off a mark 4lb below the 68 it won from back in August 2025 and has already won round this track 12 times.

The one worry is weakened last time.

The dangers are VALENTINE CATCHER at 17/2 (went close off this mark) and IMPRESSOR at 13/2 (a course winner).

PERSEUS WAY at 11/4, Tristan Davidson and Rowan Scott, is the one I make it. He is a twice-winner over this course, drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 3, beaten 2.75L, drops to Class 5 and comes from a yard in good heart at 40%.

The dangers are SPANISH HUSTLE at 10/1 (a course winner) and EBONY MAW at 10/1 (went close off this mark).

HARLEY at 2/1, Edward Bethell and Daniel Tudhope, is the one I would side with. He won by 3.25 lengths and was raised only 3lb for it, leaving 5.1lb in hand and has won here.

One to be careful with: none of these has won or been placed on this ground.

CALL ME BETTY is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, at a track where making the running is worth a little (front-runners win 2.2 times their share).

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR at 9/1, Phillip Makin and Sam James, is the one that stands out. He has already won around this track, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

DIAMONT KATIE rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 17 starts — and today is heavy.

The dangers are PICKERSGILL at 8/1 (well handicapped) and THUNDERSTORM KATIE at 6/1 (a course winner).

TEE AITCH AYE at 11/4, Iain Jardine with Jack Nicholls taking off 3lb, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He races off a mark 5lb below the 65 it won from back in September 2025, has a course win to his name and was staying on at the finish last time.

The one worry is run style against this track.

The dangers are PENELOPE'S SISTER at 13/2 (a course winner) and TOY SOLDIER at 14/1 (well handicapped).

DANDY'S ANGEL at 14/1, John Wainwright and Connor Beasley, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 15lb below the 62 it won from back in July 2025, knows how to win round here and is back quickly, ran 5 days ago.

The one worry is run style against this track.

ANNANDALE rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 4 runs on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is heavy.

The dangers are UNCLE LIAM at 5/1 (a course winner) and SOPHIESTICATE at 7/2 (well handicapped).

MUSICAL SOLDIER at 12/5, Ollie Sangster with Libby Swallow taking off 7lb, looks the one to be on. He won by 2 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 4lb in hand and is back quickly, ran 1 day ago.

The dangers are CHAPMAN'S PEAK at 9/1 (a course winner) and ORANGE EMPEROR at 15/2 (in first-time headgear).

A tricky one to unpick — most of these have barely been seen, so the stable and the booking matter more than the figures.

GOLD ARMY gets the vote at 7/4 for Harry Charlton, ridden by Lewis Edmunds. Harry Charlton is running at 31% over the past fortnight, and the market makes it favourite.

The dangers are INSCRIPTION at 3/1 and ABERSOCH at 11/2.

A hard race to weigh up with most of these unexposed, so the yard and the booking count for more than the form book.

FARASAN gets the vote at 15/8 for John & Thady Gosden, ridden by Oisin Murphy. John & Thady Gosden is running at 23% over the past fortnight, and the market makes it favourite.

The dangers are SIERRA BELLE at 5/2 and BLUE VICTORY at 7/1.

Hard to be confident with this many unexposed, so the yard and the jockey are doing most of the talking.

FORTITUDINE gets the vote at 1/4 for Charlie Appleby, ridden by William Buick. Charlie Appleby is running at 27% over the past fortnight, and William Buick is a 22% rider.

The dangers are SHADOW ROAD at 6/1 and BRAVE HUNTER at 14/1.

EGOTISTICAL at 16/5, Roger Varian and Ray Dawson, just about gets the nod. He races off a mark 2lb below the 70 it won off, has the right side of the draw and comes from a yard in good heart at 31%.

The dangers are STARTLED LADY at 11/1 (went close off this mark) and ZOUSTAR DREAMS at 13/2 (went close off this mark).

Non-runners: Overbudget.

COMIC HERO at 9/4, Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy, looks the one to be on. He has already won around this track and comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.

The dangers are MANLY FIREBALL at 15/1 (went close off this mark) and AIGEAS at 20/1 (a course winner).

MADJID is the only confirmed front-runner, though an uncontested lead counts for less here than it does elsewhere.

MADJID at 8/11, Harry Charlton and Lewis Edmunds, looks the pick of these. He won by 4.25 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 5.3lb in hand and has a course win to his name.

The dangers are PERSHALLA at 5/1 (a course winner) and JOSEPH at 4/1 (on a falling mark).

Non-runners: Extraterrestrial.

Not much to go on here with these largely unexposed, so I am leaning on the yard and who is riding.

LADY ROMAGNA gets the vote at 12/1 for W McCreery, ridden by Leigh Roche. W McCreery is running at 38% over the past fortnight.

The dangers are BIT OF A BUZZ at 13/8 and ANNIE BATT at 11/4.

Non-runners: Lion Of Fortune and Ahorey.

BAD BOY RIZZ at 11/2, Ross O'Sullivan and Colin Keane, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He won by 2.25 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 6.8lb in hand, has won here and has the right side of the draw.

The one worry is yard out of form.

The dangers are CUBAN GREY at 10/1 (went close off this mark) and HARRY'S HILL at 8/1 (a course winner).

LIBERATED LIGHT at 22/1, John E & Thomas Kiely and Mr J L Gleeson, gets the vote. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong ground and his mark is 4lb lower for it, handles the ground, with a win from 6 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are FRIARY ROAD at 11/1 (a course winner) and DAY TRADER at 6/1 (staying on last time).

ELUSIVE PATH at 4/1, G M Lyons and Colin Keane, looks the pick of these. He was placed on its only start on this ground.

CHAPEL LANE rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 7 starts — and today is soft.

CHOU CHOU at 7/1, Eamonn O'Connell and Colin Keane, gets the vote. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 0.5L off 49 on 26 July 2025 and was staying on at the finish last time.

The dangers are PERFECT JUDGEMENT at 4/1 (went close off this mark) and I'M SPARTACUS at 14/1 (well handicapped).

CONCERT PARTY at 20/1, Denis Gerard Hogan and J M Sheridan, looks the one to be on. He races off a mark 12lb below the 72 it won from back in October 2025, handles the ground, with a win from 3 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 0% rider to 8% on a horse out of form.

The dangers are DISTILLATE at 14/1 (went close off this mark) and GENUINE JIM at 12/1 (well handicapped).

3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.

SONORAN at 14/1, G M Lyons and Colin Keane, is the one I make it. He has had 4 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 8f today, close to the 7f he wins at and his mark is 3lb lower for it and was staying on at the finish last time.

The dangers are GREAT MOVER at 14/1 (went close off this mark) and ZARAAHMANDO at 6/1 (went close off this mark).

BANG BANG at 9/1, Noel Meade and Adam Caffrey, looks the pick of these. He was staying on at the finish last time and should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 3 on it.

The one worry is yard out of form.

SERENDIPIA rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 5 starts — and today is soft.

The main danger is PAMPAR LADY at 33/1.

GAME MANAGEMENT at 9/1, Lizzie Quinlan with Jake Dickson taking off 3lb, is the one that stands out. He has had 4 of his last 4 starts on the wrong ground and his mark is 7lb lower for it and knows how to win round here.

The one worry is run style against this track.

The dangers are KAMEEL at 9/1 (a course winner) and KOKO BLUE at 7/2 (went close off this mark).

DALAMARA at 5/2, Ben Haslam and Andrew Mullen, looks the most likely of these. He has won here, won last time out and comes from a yard in good heart at 21%.

The dangers are BALDOSA at 9/2 (went close off this mark) and DIAMOND AURA at 8/1 (went close off this mark).

The main danger is BRASH at 5/1 (went close off this mark).

The dangers are BEATTIE IS BACK at 3/1 (a course winner) and ORNE at 4/1 (on a falling mark).

LIVEADREAM at 18/1, Phillip Makin with Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb, is the one I make it. He was staying on at the finish last time and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 8% rider to 17%.

The one worry is run style against this track.

The dangers are PROFITABILITY at 5/2 (staying on last time) and SECRET RIVAL at 5/1.

The dangers are FLYING FLETCHER at 5/1 (a course winner) and CRIMINAL SHORE at 5/1 (a course winner).

LET'S GO HUGO at 11/4, Ollie Pears with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb, looks the most likely of these. He has already won round this track twice and won last time out.

The dangers are LADY BOUQUET at 7/2 (well handicapped) and PAPA DON'T PREACH at 5/1 (a course winner).

SASSY GLORY is the only confirmed front-runner, at a track where making the running is worth a little (front-runners win 1.8 times their share).

SASSY GLORY at 8/1, Mark Walford with Rhys Elliott taking off 5lb, makes most appeal. He won by 3.25 lengths and was raised only 1lb for it, leaving 4.7lb in hand and is a twice-winner over this course.

The one worry is weakened last time and yard out of form.

The dangers are MERCURIUS POWER at 9/2 (a course winner) and ONE MORE BOTTLE at 12/1 (well handicapped).

HERE COMES LOUIE at 9/2, Roger Fell with Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb, is the one I would side with. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 1.5L off 51 on 6 August, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 3 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 11% rider to 17%.

The dangers are DEFENCE MISSILE at 6/1 (a course winner) and BARLEYBROWN at 9/4 (a course winner).
