- Curragh: declared Yielding, 14mm of rain before the first — we are reading it as heavy.
Brighton
UNICO at 10/1, Chris Gordon and Charles Bishop, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 5lb below the 57 it won from back in September 2025 and has already won around this track.
The dangers are ROMAN SPRING at 7/2 (a course winner) and DANGER ALERT at 7/1 (from a yard in form).
MY BOO BOO at 11/8, Brian Toomey and Tom Marquand, just about gets the nod. He drops in grade after running 2nd in a Class 4, beaten 0.5L, drops to Class 5 and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are POLLY THE SNIPER at 17/2 (went close off this mark) and CHAPEL DOWN at 11/4 (from a yard in form).
ARDANSOFT at 20/1, Ed Dunlop and Saffie Osborne, looks the most likely of these. He comes from a yard in good heart at 20%.
The dangers are ANNA BELARDO at 12/1 and JAZZY BLUE at 11/4 (went close off this mark).
SKIMMING ALONG at 17/2, Daniel Steele and Alec Voikhansky, is the one I keep coming back to. He has won here and drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 5, beaten 6.75L, drops to Class 6.
The dangers are DREAM OF ITHACA at 11/2 (a course winner) and CELTIC SPIRIT at 7/1 (went close off this mark).
TWILIGHT GUEST at 22/1, George Margarson and Jack Doughty, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 14lb below the 59 it won from back in June 2025 and is a twice-winner over this course.
The dangers are PORT DARWIN at 11/1 (a course winner) and CELEBRATING ETHEL at 7/1 (a course winner).
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
DAISY ROOTS at 7/1, Jim Boyle and Pat Cosgrave, is the one I would side with. He races off a mark 3lb below the 66 it won from back in September 2025, handles the ground, with a win from 14 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are DARK ROSA at 8/1 (well handicapped) and DARVEL at 7/1 (a course winner).
THE ORGANISER at 16/1, Mark Pattinson and Kieren Fox, gets the vote, and it is the kind of race we wait for. He races off a mark 9lb below the 64 it won from back in September 2025 and knows how to win round here.
The dangers are BLUE COLLAR LAD at 15/2 (went close off this mark) and RAINBOW SIGN at 6/1 (a course winner).
BE AN ANGEL at 8/1, Rod Millman and George Wood, is the one I would be with. He races off a mark 1lb below the 56 it won off, should be suited by the ground and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are HARRY BROWN at 11/2 (well handicapped) and BATED BREEZE at 5/1 (a course winner).
Curragh
A tricky one to unpick — most of these have barely been seen, so the stable and the booking matter more than the figures.
CAPTAIN JAMES COOK gets the vote at 6/1 for Aidan O'Brien, ridden by W. M. Lordan. The market makes it favourite.
The dangers are CHAMPION BASMA at 15/8 and KINDACAN at 7/2.
KEKE at 8/1, Edward Lynam and Shane Foley, is the bet, and this is the profile the whole thing is built around. He races off a mark 9lb below the 102 it won from in July and has already won round this track 3 times.
The dangers are STAYSOUND SUSIE at 20/1 (a course winner) and SMOKE THEM OUT at 10/1 (a course winner).
A tricky race on paper with little between them on our figures.
LUNAR EMPRESS makes most appeal at 13/8 for Mrs J. Harrington.
The dangers are BELICOSO at 9/2 and THE CAPTAINS DAY at 6/1.
JP'S EXPRESS at 25/1, Michael Mulvany and Wesley Joyce, is the one I would side with. He has had his mark eased — 2 of the last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 9f today where he wins, mark down 2lb and is back quickly, ran 4 days ago.
The one worry is weakened last time.
The dangers are NIBRAS RAINBOW at 10/1 (went close off this mark) and LADY ARWEN at 10/1 (staying on last time).
PIERRE GROSSE at 4/1, Mrs J. Harrington with Keithen Kennedy taking off 5lb, looks the pick of these. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 0.5L off 83 on 19 July.
The one worry is run style against this track and has never won.
ALMAZANN rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 5 starts — and today is heavy.
ALFALFA at 9/1, Timothy Doyle and W. J. Lee, just about gets the nod. He has a course win to his name and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are GALLO DELL CIELO at 12/1 (went close off this mark) and MISS AUSTRALIE at 14/1.
JORDAN BREEZE at 15/2, Patrick J Flynn with Robyn Donaghue-Leahy taking off 2lb, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 5lb below the 60 it won from in May, should be suited by the ground and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are CUBAN GREY at 8/1 (a course winner) and HARRY'S HILL at 15/2 (a course winner).
APACHE OUTLAW at 15/2, Adrian McGuinness with Sam Coen taking off 5lb, is the one I make it. He has won here and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are LA TULIPE NOIRE at 40/1 (won with plenty in hand) and LOINGSEOIR at 10/1 (a course winner).
Fontwell
MOAB at 3/1, Henrietta C Knight and H. J. Horgan, is the one I would side with. He has already won around this track and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are GOODWIN at 7/2 (a course winner) and CROOKED PATH at 5/4.
DOUBLE POWERFUL at evn, Neil Mulholland and Richie McLernon, just about gets the nod. He drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 1, beaten 6.5L, drops to Class 3 and was staying on at the finish last time.
The one worry is run style against this track.
The dangers are ALL THE GLORY at 5/1 (from a yard in form) and INCA DE LAFAYETTE at 4/1 (won with plenty in hand).
FEROCIMO at 11/8, Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies and Sam Twiston-Davies, looks the one to be on. He makes his first start since a wind operation and comes from a yard in good heart at 35%.
The one worry is long absence.
NIGHTFLYER 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.
KATIOS QUEEN at 9/4, Dan Skelton and Tristan Durrell, looks the one to be on. He drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 1, beaten 9.25L, drops to Class 4 and comes from a yard in good heart at 21%.

The dangers are I SHUT THAT D'OR at 15/2 (not hard ridden last time) and MIRALAGO at 6/1.
CHIEF SUNDAY at 7/2, Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies and Sam Twiston-Davies, is the one I want to be with. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 17½f today, close to the 16½f he wins at and his mark is 14lb lower for it and comes from a yard in good heart at 35%.
The risk is UNCLE REMUS, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.5 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The one worry is off the track a while.
The dangers are WESTERN SOLDIER at 12/1 (well handicapped) and CAWTHORNE BANKER at 10/1 (a course winner).
ATREIDES at 11/2, Neil Mulholland with Bradley Harris taking off 3lb, is the one I make it. He ran a big race off much the same mark, beaten 1.75L off 94 (1lb higher than today) on 6 September and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns, upgrade from a 5% rider to 14%.
The risk is BALLYMOREEN, the only confirmed front-runner here — front-runners at this track win 2.5 times their share of these races, and an uncontested lead could be decisive.
The dangers are BALLYMOREEN at 7/4 and PAINTED WOLF at 15/8 (went close off this mark).

NED TANNER at 17/2, N. W. Alexander and Sean Quinlan, is the one I want to be with. He should be suited by the ground, placed 3 times from 7 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The one worry is off the track a while.
The dangers are GARDE DES CHAMPS at 11/1 (a course winner) and COSSACK CHACH at 8/1 (staying on last time).
A hard race to weigh up with most of these unexposed, so the yard and the booking count for more than the form book.
SAINT DE GEMIX gets the vote at 11/4 for Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore, ridden by Jack Power. Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore is running at 27% over the past fortnight.
The dangers are VELVET OUTLAW at 6/4 and STILL GAME at 7/4.
Southwell

The dangers are JUNGLE RULER at 5/1 (a course winner) and RAGGAAS at 11/1 (went close off this mark).
Little to separate them on form because most are unexposed, so it comes down to the yard and the booking.

The dangers are GROVE STREET at 5/4 and FORGED AHEAD at 11/2.
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
