Five meetings run across Britain and Ireland on Friday 16 October: Uttoxeter over jumps, Haydock and Redcar on the Flat, and Newcastle and Dundalk on the all-weather. We’ve picked out the four best races of the day and pulled the stats that matter before you bet.

The biggest prize is Dundalk’s 7.30pm handicap (€14,725 to the winner). In Britain, the richest race is Haydock’s 1.42pm maiden (£11,880). The going is Heavy at Haydock, Good at Redcar and Uttoxeter, and Standard at Dundalk.

Newcomers: Flores Concerto (David O’Meara) cost 130,000gns as a yearling and Top Of The World (Michael Bell) cost 105,000gns. Top Of The World’s dam won a Group 3 in Italy as a two-year-old.
Beckett filly: La Torre (Ralph Beckett, Rossa Ryan) was third as favourite on debut at Leicester 38 days ago. She is the only filly and carries 9st 2lb, 5lb less than the colts and geldings.
First-time headgear: Nicamoo (David Loughnane) wears a hood for the first time after two well-beaten runs.

Betting Forecast

2/5 Arthurian, 9/1 Flores Concerto, 33/1 Kesari, 100/1 Nicamoo, 9/1 Top Of The World, 4/1 La Torre

Verdict

The testing conditions will hold no fears for ARTHURIAN, who was third in a C&D Listed race on heavy ground last month, and he is taken to get off the mark. La Torre can build on her promising debut third at Leicester and is second choice, while Flores Concerto and Top Of The World are interesting newcomers.[Ben Hutton]

Betting Forecast

7/4 From Afar, 5/1 Capricious Star, 50/1 Cowgirl, 14/1 Late Night Show, 50/1 Sax Symbol, 7/4 Trapped Goddess, 9/2 Woollahra

Verdict

From Afar (second choice) has a solid shot of defying her penalty, while Woollahra also commands respect. However, the vote goes to TRAPPED GODDESS, who made a good start to life when chasing home a short-priced newcomer on her debut three weeks ago. Market interest in Karl Burke’s debutante Capricious Star or once-raced Late Night Show should be heeded.[Richard Russell]

Betting Forecast

15/8 Service Minimum, 11/4 Seamoon Story, 16/1 Karoline Banbou, 4/1 Miss Maverick, 5/1 Static, 8/1 Banderas

Verdict

This looks to be another good opportunity for the progressive SERVICE MINIMUM (nap) after she resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot four weeks ago. Second choice is course specialist Miss Maverick who won at Worcester when last seen in July. Another to consider is Static who won twice in March and looks reasonably handicapped, while there should be more to come from Seamoon Story now that he steps up in trip on his handicap debut.
