13:15 – British Stallion Studs ‘Carrie Red’ EBF Fillies’ Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 2 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a typically sharp early-autumn nursery: plenty of lightly raced fillies, compressed weights, and more than one arriving with the profile of a fair bit better than their current mark. Speed Of Sound is the obvious starting point on figures after a solid sequence and a topspeed of 91, while Wondervision brings a progressive, less exposed look from the foot of the weights. Sexy Chick and Downonmainstreet are not easily dismissed either, and Kodi Bear Light is interesting if reproducing the run that earned a 100 topspeed. It is not a weak Class 2 by any means, but it is also not a race to get carried away in because a few are trying handicap company under conditions that could put the emphasis on tactical speed as much as raw ability.
Top Selections
1. Speed Of Sound – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Richard Spencer | Form: 3213 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 91
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of these still have a bit to prove in stronger company. That 3213 progression reads well, and the key thing for me is that she already looks battle-hardened without being exposed. Her topspeed figure of 91 is one of the best on offer here, and she is notably better off at the weights than stablemate Sexy Chick despite matching her on official rating. Richard Spencer’s filly looks straightforward, effective at 6f, and drawn well enough in 5 to avoid trouble. At 9/4 she is hardly under the radar, but she still looks the most solid option in a field where solidity counts for plenty. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Wondervision – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Nicola Currie | Trainer: Jack Channon | Form: 331 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 86
If you want one at a fairer price, Wondervision is the one that jumps out. She has done little wrong in three starts, the form figures suggest a filly learning quickly, and a mark of 90 could underestimate her now she goes into nurseries. The big attraction is the weight: just 114, which gives her room to manoeuvre against fillies already carrying their reputations and plenty of lead. Her latest win hinted there is more to come, and Jack Channon’s youngsters can keep progressing once they get racing. From stall 2 she should get a sensible tow into it, and 9/2 makes her a very playable each-way punt with four places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Speed Of Sound is the percentage call and the one to keep on side for the win, as she brings the strongest blend of form and speed figures. Wondervision is the each-way alternative at a more attractive price, especially with four places available. The main dangers look to be Sexy Chick, who has class, and Downonmainstreet, who is progressing in the right direction.

13:50 – Weatherbys £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 2 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper sales-race puzzle despite the market having a clear leader. Night In Vegas brings the best figures by some margin, with a lofty 117 rating and a 104 Topspeed, and the weight concession he gets from most of these only tightens his grip on the race. Even so, a 17-runner juvenile sprint on easy enough ground is never completely straightforward. Seven Nation Army and Zigazig Ah are interesting against the favourite because both are well treated at the weights and arrive in good nick, while Dorigo, God Given Talent and Stardom Glory have the form to be competitive if things fall right. It looks a strong renewal on paper, but not one where taking a very short price is an automatic decision.
Top Selections
1. Night In Vegas – 5/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Charles Bishop | Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton | Form: 11531 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 104
He is the obvious one, but sometimes the obvious one is still the right one. Night In Vegas has done more than anything else in the field, his figures are comfortably the strongest, and crucially he carries just 123lb in a race where several lesser rivals are lumbered with more. That latest win backed up the impression that he is thriving rather than merely holding his level, and a Topspeed of 104 in a race like this commands respect. Charles Bishop knows him well and Eve Johnson Houghton has him progressing at the right time. At 5/4 he is no giveaway, but he is hard to oppose on what they have actually achieved. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Zigazig Ah – 10/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Richard Spencer | Form: 21152 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 111
If you want to play against the favourite each-way, Zigazig Ah makes plenty of appeal. The form string is solid, but what really catches the eye is that 111 Topspeed figure allied to just 118lb here, which gives her a serious chance of outrunning her price. She has already shown she can be competitive in better company and, unlike a few in this field, arrives looking like she is still progressing rather than plateauing. Saffie Osborne is a positive booking and Richard Spencer’s filly has the profile of one who can sit handy and keep finding. At 10/1 with four places on offer, she looks the value each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Night In Vegas is the win play because he sets the standard on both form and figures, and the weight pull only strengthens the case. For an each-way alternative, Zigazig Ah appeals most at the prices thanks to her speed figure and low weight. The main dangers are Seven Nation Army, who is similarly well in, and Dorigo, whose rating and Topspeed entitle him to plenty of respect.

14:25 – Pertemps Network Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 2 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper three-year-old handicap rather than a numbers-only puzzle, with several progressive types colliding before the handicapper fully catches up. Knights Charge arrives unbeaten this season and looks the obvious starting point, while Besieged has done little wrong in winning his last start and still has the look of a horse learning on the job. King Of Earth, Runman and Bourbon Blues all bring solid enough pieces of form, but there are few hiding places in a Class 2 like this and the pace should be honest enough with 11 runners over a fair Doncaster 1m2f. It feels a strong race for the grade, but not an impossible one to solve, and I’d rather side with the unexposed improvers than the more exposed contenders higher in the market.
Top Selections
1. Knights Charge – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Roger Varian | Form: 3-11 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 82
Knights Charge is the one I want on side because his profile is still pointing firmly upward. He was lightly raced at two, has returned this year with back-to-back wins, and the manner of those victories suggests there should be more to come now stepping into a deeper handicap. Varian’s three-year-olds often keep progressing with racing and stall 1 could be no bad thing if Foley can hold a handy position. He is not thrown in on figures, but this race should suit a colt who looks straightforward and improving, and 4/1 feels fair rather than cramped in a field where several rivals may already be near their ceiling. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Besieged – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: Harry Charlton | Form: 221 | Rating: 110 | Topspeed: 88
Besieged makes plenty of each-way appeal because he has done nothing but improve in three starts and comes here off the back of a deserved breakthrough win. The Charlton yard knows how to place a progressive middle-distance horse, and this colt shapes as though 1m2f in a truly-run race will suit him well. He does have the awkward widest draw to overcome, which is the one reason he is the each-way play rather than the main selection, but he gets in here on 127 and may still be ahead of the assessor. At 5/1 with four places on offer, he looks the sensible each-way punt in a race packed with potential but not overloaded with certainty. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Knights Charge is the win bet as the most persuasive progressive in the field, while Besieged is the each-way alternative with solid place claims despite the wide draw. The obvious dangers are King Of Earth, who is respected from stall 3, and Bourbon Blues, whose recent placed efforts give him a live chance if Ryan Moore can get him settled early.

15:00 – Betfred Park Hill Fillies’ Stakes (Group 2)
Race Details: 1m 6f | Class 1 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper Park Hill rather than a penalty kick, with solid claims spread across the proven older fillies and the unexposed 3yos getting weight. Waardah sets a fair standard after two good efforts this season and she has the profile of one who should stay this trip strongly, while Prizeland arrives on the up and gets a handy 9lb from her elders. Consent is the class act on figures but hasn’t quite fired in two starts this year, and Danielle and Fairy Glen are both capable of better than they showed last time. It’s a race where stamina, rather than a turn of foot, could be decisive on this ground, and that makes it a fascinating rather than straightforward puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Waardah – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Rodriguez | Trainer: Owen Burrows | Form: 118-23 | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 100
Waardah is the one I keep coming back to. She was useful last season, has returned with a pair of solid placed efforts, and her profile screams stayer rather than flashy middle-distance filly. The Topspeed mark of 100 is one of the better recent numbers in the field, and this extra emphasis on stamina could easily bring out a career best. Owen Burrows doesn’t tilt at races like this without reason, and Callum Rodriguez is a positive booking for a filly who should be ridden with confidence. At 3/1 she isn’t a giveaway, but she does look the most solid option in a race full of ifs.
Bet: WIN
2. Consent – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: 221-94 | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 89
Consent is too classy to dismiss and, at the prices, she makes plenty of each-way appeal. Her official mark of 124 is the standout figure in the line-up and Sir Mark Prescott is hardly a stranger to producing staying fillies for these big autumn pots. This season hasn’t really sparked yet, but there was enough in those runs to suggest she can still get involved when returned to a proper test at 1m6f. Luke Morris is exactly the sort you want on a Prescott stayer, and 6/1 looks fair if you’re betting on the ability she has already shown rather than what she’s done in two slightly underwhelming efforts this term.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Waardah is the win play because she brings the most convincing blend of current form, stamina promise and reliability. Consent is the each-way punt in a nine-runner race with three places on offer, as her rating gives her obvious place claims if bouncing back. Prizeland is the danger, especially with the weight allowance, while Danielle is another who could easily outrun a disappointing latest start.

15:35 – Betfred May Hill Stakes (Group 2) (Fillies)
Race Details: 1m | Class 1 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper May Hill, too, not one of those thin Group races where the market tells the whole story. Musical Times brings the sexy unbeaten profile and is entitled to head the betting, but she is taking a fair jump in grade against fillies with deeper pattern-race form. Sea Of Rain sets the standard on ratings and arrives here off a win, while Ballyskeagh and Scommessa Sicura both have the look of fillies who still have more to offer at this mile. Eabha has been busy and admirable, Speckles is interesting for Ballydoyle despite not getting her head in front, and there are enough unexposed types to make this a race where class and temperament over the final furlong should count for plenty. Tricky, but a good one.
Top Selections
1. Sea Of Rain – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: J S Bolger | Form: 223141 | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 103
She makes plenty of appeal at the prices because, unlike some of these, she has already put a solid body of work together and her figures are the best on offer. A mark of 115 and a Topspeed of 103 say she is not just pretty on paper, and that latest win suggests she is arriving here at exactly the right time. Bolger juveniles are rarely short on toughness and this filly looks the type who will cope with a proper mile on easy ground. At 15/2 with Bet365, she is the one who looks slightly underestimated in a race where the favourite still has to prove she is this good. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ballyskeagh – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: J M Sheridan | Trainer: Joseph Patrick O’Brien | Form: 512 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 102
Joseph O’Brien’s filly is the each-way play because she already looks a dependable pattern-race operator and her numbers stack up very well for this grade. That 111 rating is a serious effort for a 2yo filly, while a Topspeed of 102 suggests she has the pace for this test as well as the stamina. Her form string is neat rather than flashy, but the second last time hardly hurts her claims and she shapes like a filly who will keep finding under pressure. With three places on offer, 11/2 looks more than fair for a runner with this level of substance and a yard fully capable of placing one to nick a race like this. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Sea Of Rain is the win play because she brings the strongest established form and the best ratings into the race. Ballyskeagh is the sensible each-way punt in a deep field, with enough class and consistency to make the frame at least. Musical Times is the obvious danger if her unbeaten profile stands up at this level, while Scommessa Sicura is another to keep on side.

16:10 – Meadowhall X Flannels Beauty Bar Nursery Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m | Class 3 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a compact six-runner nursery but it doesn’t lack depth, with several progressive 2yos bringing smart recent form into the race. Al Wathba is the obvious one on profile for Charlie Appleby after winning last time and now tackling handicaps off 92, while Waasil arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and has the raw speed figures to make him a serious player. The one that really catches the eye, though, is Zarakova, who sneaks in here off 126 despite a standout 102 rating and a topspeed figure of 97. That gives this race a slightly lopsided look on paper. In a small field where tactical pace and who settles best over the mile will matter, it looks a strong little Class 3 rather than a guessing game.
Top Selections
1. Zarakova – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 621 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 97
Zarakova looks the value play in the race and, frankly, the numbers make her very hard to ignore. She comes here off a first win, her form figures are heading the right way, and that 102 rating paired with a 97 topspeed figure stands out in this field. Carrying just 126, she gets weight from Al Wathba and Waasil despite arguably bringing the strongest bare figures to the table. Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking for a yard that does well with improving juveniles, and if she handles these conditions as well as the market leaders, 5/1 feels generous in a race of this size. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Primal – 8/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Marco Ghiani | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 64842 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 90
Primal is the each-way angle if you want to play against the obvious pair at the head of the market. He hasn’t won yet, which is the slight concern, but his latest second suggested he’s beginning to work things out, and a mark of 96 with only 120 to carry gives him a fair chance of being very competitive. His topspeed of 90 says he’s not far off the principals on what he has actually achieved, and in a six-runner race that may turn tactical, that low weight could easily become a big asset late on. At 8/1, he looks the sensible each-way punt for the Balding team.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Zarakova is the win bet because her figures are simply too strong for a 5/1 shot in a race like this. For those wanting a second angle, Primal makes appeal each-way at 8/1 with his low weight and improving profile. Al Wathba is the obvious danger, while Waasil has enough pace and recent winning form to make this a proper contest.

16:45 – East Midlands Airport And Jet2 Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 3 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a properly competitive nursery rather than a weak late-card affair, with several of these arriving unexposed and open to another chunk of improvement. Rafe’s Da Man has the highest rating in the field and comes here after getting off the mark, while Undiscovered is another with obvious upside after winning his first two before finding one too good in stronger company. Storm Blade has shaped like a nursery is within range, and Love Rome is weighted to be dangerous if handling conditions as well as his figures suggest. Midgham Man is another recent winner with a smart topspeed number for this grade. It is the sort of race where the market should be informative, but there is enough substance in the form to have a fairly strong view.
Top Selections
1. Undiscovered – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 116 | Rating: 94 | Topspeed: 84
Undiscovered appeals as the one with the most solid blend of proven ability and likely improvement. Two wins from his first three starts is a good foundation for a nursery like this, and that latest sixth does not put me off in the slightest given he had previously looked a colt going the right way. Stall 1 can be a help over this trip at Doncaster if Rossa Ryan gets him into a smooth rhythm, and Beckett’s youngsters tend to know their job in races of this nature. At 9/4 he is not exactly hiding from the assessor, but he still looks the likeliest winner in a field where several rivals have something to prove.
Bet: WIN
2. Love Rome – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: 322 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 97
Love Rome is the one that makes plenty of each-way appeal at the prices. He has yet to get his head in front, but those three runs have been consistent, and the standout figure in this field is his topspeed mark of 97, which tells you there is more substance to his form than the bare numbers might suggest. Charlie Johnston’s youngsters are often straightforward and hardy, and this mark of 97 does not look impossible if the race is run to suit. The slight concern is whether softer ground blunts his speed, but at 11/1 you are being compensated for that unknown. In a nine-runner race with three places, he looks a very fair each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Undiscovered is the win play here, as he brings the clearest progressive profile and still looks capable of outclassing this field. For an each-way alternative, Love Rome makes plenty of sense at double-figure odds on the strength of his topspeed figure and consistent form. Rafe’s Da Man and Storm Blade are the obvious dangers in a race that should take a bit of winning.

17:20 – Pertemps Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 3 | Going: 6.1) (rail movements (Good to soft, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper little end-of-card handicap rather than a giveaway, with a few progressive 3yos taking on some battle-hardened older horses. Masterinthewoods brings the most solid recent profile after stringing together a run of placed efforts, while Itica arrives on the back of a win and looks the type Andrew Balding could still unlock a bit more improvement from. Devil’s Peak is interesting for the Gosdens despite lacking a listed price here, and Brighton View has been knocking on the door in lesser company. The ground should make this a fair test at 1m3f and that may just expose any doubtful stayers late on. It’s not an easy race to solve, but it does look one where the unexposed younger legs could hold the upper hand.
Top Selections
1. Itica – 9/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 02-561 | Rating: 91 | Topspeed: 40
Itica makes plenty of appeal as a lightly raced 3yo who may only just be getting the hang of things. That recent win was a fair step forward from earlier efforts and the manner of it suggested this extra emphasis on stamina could suit rather than inconvenience him. Balding does well with these improving middle-distance types and Oisin Murphy is exactly the rider you want in a tactical handicap like this. Off 91 he is hardly thrown in, but neither does he look fully exposed, and 9/2 is fair enough in a race where several of the older brigade already look summed up by the assessor. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Masterinthewoods – 5/1 with William Hill
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: -71222 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 86
There is no mystery to Masterinthewoods: he is in form, he stays, and he keeps running his race. Those last four starts, featuring a win and then three straight seconds, mark him down as one of the safer options in the field, particularly from a handy low draw. Emma Lavelle’s runner may not have bundles in hand from the handicapper, but his consistency counts for plenty in a contest where a few rivals are still proving themselves at the trip or on this sort of ground. At 5/1 he looks a sensible each-way punt because he sets a reliable standard and should be thereabouts again if reproducing his recent level. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Itica is the win play because he has the profile of a progressive 3yo still ahead of his mark. Masterinthewoods is the each-way option for those wanting a bit more security, as his recent sequence gives him solid place claims. Devil’s Peak is the obvious danger if the Gosdens can eke out a bit more improvement, while Brighton View is not dismissed lightly at a bigger price.
