Horse Racing Tips Friday 25th September 2026

AUGHLISH at 9/2, Ms Claire O'Connell and Declan McDonogh, is the one I make it. He should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 4 on it.

The risk is WHITE SMOKE, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.6 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.

The dangers are IN THE GLOAMING at 13/2 (staying on last time) and ANAVERNA at 100/1 (in first-time headgear).

CAFFU ZAFEEN at 5/1, Paul W Flynn with Shay Wallace taking off 7lb, looks the pick of these. He won by 1.75 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 4.4lb in hand and is back quickly, ran 4 days ago.

The dangers are COINCIDENTAL GLORY at 15/2 (a course winner) and KC BEAR at 10/1 (a course winner).

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

MAPLE LEAVES gets the vote at 20/1 for Donnacha Aidan O'Brien, ridden by Gavin Ryan. Donnacha Aidan O'Brien is running at 27% over the past fortnight.

The dangers are HAVEN at 2/1 and SENSATIONAL FILLY at 11/4.

QUEEN LEILA at 25/1, Noel C. Kelly and Shane B Kelly, looks the pick of these. He has won here, handles the ground, with a win from 9 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are LADY LANDHORT at 12/1 (a course winner) and STORM ERIC at 4/1 (a course winner).

MILITARY ORDER at 11/10, Charlie Appleby and W. J. Lee, is the one I make it. He won by 2.25 lengths and escapes a penalty, leaving 3.4lb in hand and comes from a yard in good heart at 61%.

The one worry is long absence.

KILCREA ROCK rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 80 and runs off 89 — up 9lb.

The dangers are SPICY MARGARITA at 80/1 (a course winner) and ALLA STELLA at 14/1 (went close off this mark).

SLIEVE BINNIAN at 11/2, David Marnane and Luke McAteer, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He races off a mark 7lb below the 88 it won from back in July 2025 and has won here 4 times.

The dangers are QUATRE BRAS at 17/2 (a course winner) and NAKASERO at 8/1 (a course winner).

VERVAIN at 13/2, David Harry Kelly and Colin Keane, looks the one to be on. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 0.2L off 53 on 7 August, gets a trip he has won over and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 3% rider to 15%.

The dangers are CHOPSTICKS at 25/1 (went close off this mark) and DELUCA CHOP at 15/2 (a course winner).

SWEET KISS at 4/1, Tim Easterby and Jake Dickson, gets the vote. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 1.25L off 61 on 9 September, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The one worry is run style against this track.

The dangers are FALCON NINE at 11/2 (went close off this mark) and TITIAN at 8/1 (well handicapped).

BLANQUITA at 14/1, Dylan Cunha and Laura Pearson, looks the one to be on. He was staying on at the finish last time and was placed on its only start on this ground.

GIRL SCOUT rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.

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

NEW YEAR'S EVE gets the vote at 5/2 for William Haggas, ridden by Cieren Fallon. William Haggas is running at 21% over the past fortnight, and the market makes it favourite.

The dangers are SIZZLING AFFAIR at 11/4 and TRAPPED GODDESS at 17/2.

Non-runners: Lady Phillips.

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

JASSAS gets the vote at 5/4 for Charlie Appleby, ridden by Toby Moore. Charlie Appleby is running at 61% over the past fortnight, and the market makes it favourite.

The dangers are ST HELIER at 3/1 and GREAT OAK at 11/2.

Non-runners: El Paso.

ATA RANGI at 13/2, Ed Walker with Ashley Lewis taking off 3lb, is the one I would be with. He has won here twice, handles the ground, with a win from 3 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

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

The dangers are ANYASI at 7/1 (staying on last time) and GREAT DREAM at 50/1 (won with plenty in hand).

ASIA FORCE at 13/8, K. R. Burke and Sam James, looks the most likely of these. He has already won around this track and drops in grade after running won in a Class 2, drops to Class 3.

He arrives on the back of two straight wins. The 11lb rise is the obvious worry, though he has been beating that sort of raise all summer.

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

ARRANGE at 6/1, Martin Todhunter and Billy Garritty, is the one I keep coming back to. He has a course win to his name and drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 4, beaten 1.25L, drops to Class 5.

The one worry is long time without a win.

The dangers are VELVET WHISPER at 7/1 (on a falling mark) and MARBUZET at 14/1 (went close off this mark).

REACHING HIGH at 8/13, W. P. Mullins and Paul Townend, looks the most likely of these. He was staying on at the finish last time and comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.

The dangers are LADBROKE GROVE at 10/3 and FARNEY BRIDGE at 11/1.

ONE AND ONLY at 14/1, Oliver McKiernan with Miss T Quail taking off 4lb, makes most appeal. He was not given a hard time of it last time and should be suited by the ground, placed once from 6 on it.

WHO'S DA GOOSE rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 88 and runs off 97 — up 9lb.

The dangers are OLLIE LA BA BA at 12/1 (a course winner) and WAR CORRESPONDENT at 20/1 (went close off this mark).

YOU DONE WELL at 12/1, Michael J Browne and Danny Gilligan, is the one I keep coming back to. He races off a mark 5lb below the 100 it won from back in May 2025, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 3 on it and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.

The dangers are PAHLAVI at 14/1 (well handicapped) and SURVIVING MURMANSK at 11/1 (well handicapped).

Non-runners: Baby Fish.

COSMOS D'AINAY at 12/1, Gordon Elliott and Danny Gilligan, is the one I keep coming back to. He is back quickly, ran 2 days ago, should be suited by the ground, placed once from 2 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

PAUL'S DREAM rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 129 and runs off 136 — up 7lb.

The dangers are RUN FOR MAHLER at 14/1 and SIGN FROM ABOVE at 28/1 (a course winner).

FIRE CORAL at 9/1, S Curling and Danny Mullins, makes most appeal. He should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 11 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are PURE LOGIC at 15/2 (went close off this mark) and RUN FOR THE BORDER at 17/2 (went close off this mark).

Non-runners: Final Decision.

STONEYFORD LADY at 15/2, Henry de Bromhead and Darragh O'Keeffe, is the one I keep coming back to. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 19½f today, close to the 18½f he wins at and his mark is 3lb lower for it and was going well when coming down last time.

The dangers are TIPPIN AND TAPPIN at 11/2 (went close off this mark) and CAHIRDOWN BOY at 22/1 (a course winner).

KILLEEDY at 4/1, W. P. Mullins and Mr P W Mullins, just about gets the nod. He comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.

The dangers are SHE WAS THE ONE at 4/1 and VIVA LAA VIDA at 5/2.

ENNISKERRY at 9/1, Barry Connell and Mr Finian Maguire, is the standout, and this is exactly the sort of race to find one. He has had 3 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 14f today where he wins and his mark is 9lb lower for it and has a course win to his name.

The one worry is long absence.

DAVY CROCKETT rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.

The dangers are DELTA at 7/2 (went close off this mark) and EBONY KING at 14/1.

RUBELLITE at 5/2, Stephen Hanlon with Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb, looks the one to be on. He won last time out, is a 4 times-winner over this course and drops in grade after running won in a Class 5, drops to Class 6.

The dangers are FARABOVE THE LIMIT at 11/2 (went close off this mark) and BECKON at 40/1 (a course winner).

GEMINI MAN at 13/2, Iain Jardine and Andrew Mullen, is the one I would be with. He has won here, handles the ground, with 2 wins from 13 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are YAASER at 14/1 (a course winner) and FALAISE BLANC at 14/1 (a course winner).

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

ONE OF THE BOYS gets the vote at 6/5 for Michael Bell, ridden by Jack Callan. The market makes it favourite.

The dangers are JANORA at 7/2 and BRASH at 9/2.

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

BINKSY BOY gets the vote at 14/1 for Phillip Makin, ridden by Paul Mulrennan. Phillip Makin is running at 20% over the past fortnight.

The dangers are ARENITE at 3/1 and DREAMED at 4/1.

HAVIN A FLYER at 6/1, Rebecca Menzies with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 3lb, is the one I keep coming back to. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 2.75L off 50 on 4 August, handles the ground, with a win from 15 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are INVINCIBLE CROWN at 2/1 (a course winner) and PHOENIX BEACH at 10/1 (a course winner).

VOLENTI at 15/2, Sam England and Rowan Scott, makes most appeal. He has already won round this track 4 times and comes from a yard in good heart at 21%.

The dangers are BAJAN BANDIT at 9/2 (a course winner) and BARLEYBROWN at 9/2 (a course winner).

LORD CAPULET at 9/1, Kevin Ryan and Shane Gray, is the one I would be with. He is a 4 times-winner over this course and runs a style that suits this track.

The dangers are HAVANA PRINCE at 8/1 (a course winner) and FRANKIES DREAM at 4/1 (a course winner).

LORD ABAMA at 9/2, Michael Dods and Sean Kirrane, is the one I want to be on here. He races off a mark 20lb below the 70 it won from back in June 2025 and has won here twice.

The risk is TURBO COMMAND, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.3 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.

The one worry is weakened last time.

The dangers are YAAHOBBY at 13/2 (a course winner) and TURBO COMMAND at 11/1 (a course winner).

ESTISSA at 7/2, James Fanshawe and Oisin Murphy, is the one I would side with. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 2.25L off 96 on 3 September and comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.

The dangers are APPLESANDPEARS at 16/1 (went close off this mark) and BLINGY'S SISTER at 11/1 (went close off this mark).

FRANCOPHONE at 9/1, Charlie Johnston and James Doyle, is the one I would side with. He has won here, handles the ground, with a win from 6 on it and has a telling booking — upgrade from a 9% rider to 19%.

The one worry is run style against this track.

The dangers are SUMMERSON at 8/1 (staying on last time) and CLUB CLASS at 80/1 (from a yard in form).

RUBY MOON at 28/1, Richard & Peter Fahey and Oisin Orr, looks the one to be on. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 1.75L off 95 on 19 September and was staying on at the finish last time.

REDLINE rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last two, and there is no comparable mark in this code to judge the rise.

The main danger is SEA VENTURE at 22/1 (in first-time headgear).

TALK OF NEW YORK at 4/6, Charlie Appleby and William Buick, looks the most likely of these. He has a course win to his name and was staying on at the finish last time.

The dangers are THE LOST KING at 7/1 (a course winner) and AUDIENCE at 22/1 (a course winner).

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

ARCHERS BAY gets the vote at 9/1 for Marco Botti, ridden by Ryan Moore. The market makes it favourite.

The dangers are KOKBASTAU at 6/5 and FORTITUDINE at 2/1.

Little to separate them on form because most are unexposed, so it comes down to the yard and the booking.

MAXTON gets the vote at 8/1 for Jane Chapple-Hyam, ridden by Rossa Ryan. Jane Chapple-Hyam is running at 27% over the past fortnight.

The dangers are SOLE AMBITION at 5/2 and HOWZATT at 7/2.

FLYING FRONTIER at 15/2, James Tate and Rossa Ryan, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He races off a mark 7lb below the 95 it won from back in July 2025, was staying on at the finish last time and wears headgear for the first time.

The one worry is wrong side of the draw and run style against this track.

The dangers are MYTHICAL GUEST at 16/1 (a course winner) and BE THE STANDARD at 15/2 (on a falling mark).

BOOM BOOM at 11/1, Rob Summers and James Best, is the one I would be with. He races off a mark 3lb below the 83 it won from back in July 2025 and was staying on at the finish last time.

The dangers are TURPIN GOLD at 6/1 (went close off this mark) and GALEFORCECHOPPER at 20/1 (a course winner).

The one worry is long absence.

The main danger is KAYF DANCER at 7/2.

Non-runners: El Capitaine.

SHE IS FOR ME BOYS at 14/1, Jamie Snowden and Gavin Sheehan, makes most appeal. He has won here and was staying on at the finish last time.

The dangers are YOUDECIDE at 5/1 (went close off this mark) and COUNTRY PARK at 9/1 (staying on last time).

DOWN TO BUSINESS at 4/1, Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton, makes most appeal. He won by 5 lengths and was raised only 2lb for it, leaving 3lb in hand and has already won around this track.

ROAD TO WEMBLEY rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won its last three — a 3-timer, and the handicapper has had 3 goes at it.

The dangers are SQUARE D'ALBONI at 10/1 (a course winner) and LIKEWHATYOUSEE at 12/1 (went close off this mark).

PREMIER TENOR at 5/6, Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton, looks the pick of these. He comes from a yard in good heart at 22% and should be suited by the ground, placed twice from 2 on it.

The main danger is MOI MON VIEUX at 33/1.

SECRET TRIX at 6/1, Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen, gets the vote. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 1.75L off 120 (2lb higher than today) on 1 February, handles the ground, with 4 wins from 20 on it and gets a trip he has won over.

The dangers are I'M A STARMAN at 11/1 (a course winner) and TIGER ORCHID at 7/1 (a course winner).

The one worry is weakened last time.

MOJO EGO rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 95 and runs off 99 — up 4lb.

The dangers are T OR COFFEY at 20/1 (well handicapped) and PETER'S LAST DEAL at 33/1.
