HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Sturdy, low-mileage sprinter who's improved since being gelded. Still a work in progress when a neck second at Newbury (5f, good to firm) latest, may well have doubled his tally had he kept straighter. Very much respected on his current trajectory, for all stall 4 may not be ideal.

Won 2025 Palace of Holyroodhouse before capping a fine summer when runner-up in listed Beverley Bullet. Fallen a long way in the weights since and there were positive signs when beaten 4¼ lengths at Glorious Goodwood last time. Looks interesting down in grade with first-time cheekpieces added.

Hasn't won since his handicap debut at York last spring. Looked well but failed to build on the promise of his last run when beaten 4¾ lengths in a York handicap (working out well) latest. Needs a second look with sights lowered, though.

Recorded a quick-fire hat-trick for William Haggas last year. Now bidding to repeat the feat for current connections following narrow wins at Newmarket/Ascot. Entitled to go close back down in grade off 3 lb higher.

Doubled his tally in a big-field 3-y-o York handicap (5f) on stable debut in May. Has performed with plenty of credit since. Only beaten 1¾ lengths in a slightly higher grade at Chester (6f) last time, though that form has taken a few knocks.

Has run well a couple of times at this course since his latest success in 2024. Unlucky not to finish closer when 1¾ length fourth of 8 in a better race at Haydock last time. Each-way claims if he gets the gaps here.

Free-going sort who won back-to-back handicaps at Newmarket/Lingfield in June. Settled better than sometimes the case when running a cracker to go close over C&D latest. Handicapper has given him 3 lb for his troubles, though.

Ran up to his best to land back-to-back wins for the first time in his career at Thirsk last month, though was very possibly advantaged by racing alone on the stand rail for the majority of the contest. Faces a stiffer task in his hat-trick bid.

Forward-going sprinter who won 4 times when progressing in handicaps last year. Looked back in form prior to a forgivable run at Hamilton last time, and he's entitled to be firmly in the mix if things unfold more favourably here.

Revitalised back from a short break when landing a career-best success at Sandown (5f) in late-July. Seemingly found out by rise in the weights when beaten 5¼ lengths at Newbury subsequently, and a 1 lb reprieve probably isn't enough.

Notched his third 3-y-o handicap win of the year (and first success for current yard) when capitalising on a quick break at Chester last time. Will find this more competitive back against his elders.

C&D winner who turned in his best effort of the season when 3 lengths fourth of 8 at Ripon last time. Fairly treated on last year's form, if he can build on that back over the minimum trip.

Lightly-raced 3-y-o filly who clearly hasn't been the easiest to train. Completed a double on nursery bow at Sandown last summer, however, she looked rusty on seasonal reappearance at Nottingham and now returns following further 3½ months away.

Had a tremendous 2025 on all-weather, winning 6 times at Newcastle (all at 5f). Best recent effort on turf (1-27) came when third over C&D on penultimate start and was probably unsuited by heavy ground at Beverley last time.

Has gone off the boil since completing a 6f double here in June. Forecast strong pace at least in his favour on rare start over 5f, with his fine course record also offering some hope of a bounce back.

Back to winning ways in Class 5 handicap at Pontefract (5f) in May. Still in decent nick when 1½ length third of 11 at Haydock last time, but he's probably vulnerable stepping back up in grade.

Progressive sprinter who produced a really smart performance to land a third big handicap of the season when winning 20-runner Constantine Handicap at York last month by nose from Far Above Dream, leading final 100 yds and just holding on. Up another 5 lb.

Reliable type who won 5 times last year and has been placed on 4 occasions so far this time around, nearest at the finish when length third of 20 to Sondad at York on latest. Seems sure to give his running but others preferred for the win.

Lightly-raced and highly-progressive sprinter who shrugged off a year absence when winning 10-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago by ¾-length from Moltophino. The runner-up that day has won since and she looks open to further progress upped in grade for in-form yard.

Posted a smart performance when bolting up from the front over 6f at Naas in April and landed another win there in 5f conditions race in July. Has remained in form since (behind Bear on The Run here latest) and still on a good mark with a promising 7 lb claimer booked. Big player.

Won a 6f Dundalk maiden on reappearance and bounced back from a poor effort to win 7f Fairyhouse minor event in June. Shaped as if still in form when close third at Naas in July. This represents a big step up, though.

Improved model for current connections. Successful in useful 6f course handicap/solid second in a valuable 7f Cork event in early-summer. Not so good last 2 starts but down 4 lb since last run and a strongly-run race at this trip is likely to prove right up his street.

Dual C&D winner, the latest in March when beating Unique Journey by 3¼ lengths. Failed to justify favouritism back over 5f here next time, but bounced back to form when a neck second of 12 to Key Witness in a 7f event at Cork in May. Races off the same mark and worth a look if the rain comes.

Smart all-weather performer who hasn't made much of an impact on turf this summer but bounced back to form when 2 lengths third of 12 to Dark Ace at Dundalk last time. Reverts to turf from much lower mark and placed in this race last year but others preferred.

Both wins over 6f at Naas, latterly a 14-runner handicap in May. Good fourth of 22 in strong 3-y-o handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 15/2) in June. Cheekpieces back on and remains unexposed.

Resumed winning ways when landing a 5f handicap in the mud here in November. Shaped well on her first 2 starts this year prior to taking another heavy-ground sprint over C&D in April. Below form behind Keke at Naas next time but back from a break with yard going well and could be set for a big run.

Dual course winner this year, latest in June. Good efforts when placed here on last 2 starts, making a bold bid from the front when close third of 10 to Bear on The Run on latest. Has been dropped 3 lb but will need to be better than he's ever been to take this from out of the weights.

Dual C&D winner last year. Winless this time around but has found only one too good on 2 occasions, including when chasing home Dunum in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway on latest. Still 6 lb above last successful mark but any rain will be firmly in his favour.

Has gone from strength to strength this year, winning at Naas in April and over 5f here in June before taking his form up another notch when landing a 9-runner handicap at Navan last month by a head. Shaped as if still in form last week and return to a large-field scenario should suit.

Has taken her form up to a useful level this year, winning a Bellewstown handicap and producing a career best when also scoring at this course in August. Showed a good attitude last time and any further progress will likely see her firmly in the mix.

Useful sprinter who proved better than ever in first-time tongue strap when taking 11-runner handicap at Naas in August by ½-length from Gotta Catch'em All. Only 1 lb higher here and has run well at this course in the past so not dismissed for yard firmly among the winners.

Listed winner when trained in France. Got off the mark for current yard at Goodwood (6f, soft) in June and not disgraced under similar conditions after 11 weeks off when sixth of 10 in handicap there a fortnight ago. Remains on a handy mark if able to rediscover his best.

Progressive sort who won on all-weather at Wolverhampton and Lingfield this spring before excellent thirds in big fields at Newbury (6f) and the Curragh (5f) in early summer. Back on the up when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk by 1¾ lengths 29 days ago. Runs off lower turf mark here.

Defied an 11-month absence when narrow winner of 6.3f maiden here in June but could only match that form when 4½ lengths fifth of 14 to Midnight Dusk in C&D handicap last time. Stiff task at these weights but should have more to offer.

Scored at Fairyhouse in June and ran well when ¾-length second to Big Gossey in course listed race next time. Effort best excused when down the field behind Sondad in handicap here 2 months ago, denied a run 2f out. Career best needed if he's to follow up last year's success in this.

Grand servant who finished runner-up in the Stewards' Cup in 2025. Has won twice this year without scaling those same heights, latterly seeing off Ferrous by a nose at Hamilton. Found out back in deeper company last time, though, and likely to find this too competitive.

Runner-up 4 times this year, including twice in July. Shaped as if still in form behind Dark Ace at Dundalk last time but has plenty on from 7 lb out of the handicap.

Won handicaps at York and Chester before posting a career best when chasing home Sondad at this course in July. Disappointing on last 2 starts and needs to be back to his best if he's to feature here under new rider.

Won 10-runner listed race at Naas (6f, soft) last year. Not in the same form since but made a positive start for current trainer in first-time tongue strap when 4¾ lengths third of 8 to Moltophino at Navan 8 days ago.

Cemented the positive start made for his new yard when opening his account in 7-runner 7f Gowran handicap in August. Ran poorly off revised mark last time, though, and faces a stiff task from out of the weights.

Made positive start to this season but not so good on last 3 starts. Has been given a chance by the handicapper, though, and now finds himself below his last winning mark.

One-time useful sprinter for Marco Botti and took advantage of a much-reduced mark in this headgear when making all in 20-runner 6.3f event here in June. Heavy defeats on last 3 starts suggests he's gone off the boil, though. Races from 6 lb out of the handicap.

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who made it 3 wins from his first 4 starts when scoring on handicap debut at Thirsk (7f) early last month. Again ran well when third at Chester (7.5f) 22 days ago, despite seeming stretched by the extra distance. Major player back down in trip.

Won twice at Lingfield in January, including listed race, and has proved just as good on turf this summer, runner-up in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot and again finishing strongly when fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last time. Not taken lightly.

Useful form in France in 2024. Raced only twice last year but ran well on seasonal/stable debut when fourth in the Buckingham Palace Stakes (7f) at Royal Ascot. Has shaped as if still in good form both starts since, fifth of 14 at York (1m) on latest outing. Interesting back down in trip.

Successful twice in handicaps in 2025 and has continued in good heart this year, returning from 4 months off when third of 10 at Goodwood 2 weeks ago. Can give his running once more.

Losing run is mounting up but has made the frame at Goodwood on his last 3 starts, having every chance when second in 7-runner contest (1m) 2 weeks ago. Needs everything to drop right, though, given his tendency to start slowly. Now switches to a visor.

Ended a long losing run in handicap at Thirsk in July and has carried on his good spell in 2 starts since, third of 16 in sprint series final at Windsor last month. Could be in the mix in his current form.

Picked up where he left off last year when adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (7f) in March. Not seen to best effect on next 2 outings, before possibly needing the run after 12 weeks off when down the field at Southwell 17 days ago. This should reveal more.

Completed a hat-trick at Newcastle last spring and produced one of his better efforts on turf when fourth in 13-runner handicap at Leicester in April. Below form after 11 weeks off in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, but he could fare better with cheekpieces applied.

Won a trio of claimers in Ireland (including over 6f) for Denis Hogan earlier in the year and made a successful stable debut in handicap at Kempton (1m) in July. Good second at Glorious Goodwood (7f) next time, before doing too much too soon back at Kempton (1m) 8 days ago.

Without a win since last spring but ran up to his best when second in an Epsom handicap in June. Possibly unsuited by firm ground at Windsor next time, though well held in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood 6 weeks ago.

Winless since debut back in spring 2024 but, having had excuses a couple of times this season, shaped well when runner-up at Hamilton in August. Left poorly placed when mid-field at Haydock 9 days ago, so he's better judged on his Hamilton effort.

Dual winner on all-weather last year and improved form when runner-up in listed race at York during the autumn. However, has finished well held in pattern races both outings this season, so needs to get back on track returned to a handicap after 4 months off (has been gelded).

Ended 2025 out of form but proved better than ever to start this year, scoring at Chelmsford in January and Wolverhampton in March. However, below-par effort after 3 months off at Newcastle in June, so he will need to get back on the up returned to turf after a further 11 weeks off.

Made it 2 wins from 3 starts during the spring when scoring at Windsor in May. However, has found his run of good form coming to a halt the last twice, well held back at Windsor on latest outing.
