16:20 – Weekend Winners On At The Races Maiden Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m | Class 3 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This revolves around Flight Tracker, and understandably so. Ralph Beckett’s colt has twice finished runner-up, brings the standout official mark of 89 and sets a clear standard on what we’ve seen. In a maiden full of lightly raced types and a few interesting debutants, that level of established form is hard to knock. The question is whether anything unexposed can take a big step forward over this mile on Tapeta. My Boy shaped with promise when fourth on debut and looks the obvious one to improve for Andrew Balding, while Wilcox Bridge and Rogue Inferno add a bit of intrigue first time out. Even so, this doesn’t look an especially deep Class 3 maiden and the favourite has the strongest credentials by some margin.
Top Selections
1. Flight Tracker – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 22 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed:
He’s had two chances, but the form is there in black and white and it towers over this field. An official rating of 89 in a race like this makes him very hard to oppose, and Beckett’s juveniles are rarely overbet without reason. Rossa Ryan is a positive booking and the move to Southwell’s Tapeta should hold no fears for a colt who already looks straightforward and professional. At 8/13 he’s no hidden gem, but not every race needs reinventing: he sets the standard, has the best form, and looks the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. My Boy – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 4 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed:
For an each-way angle, My Boy makes more appeal than most. He was only fourth on debut, but a 74 rating suggests there was plenty to like in that effort and Balding’s youngsters often come on a fair bit for the experience. Oisin Murphy taking over only adds to the interest, and stall 1 could help him travel kindly before being produced late. He doesn’t need to find masses to hit the frame in this company, and available at 6/1 he looks the sensible each-way punt against the short-priced favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Flight Tracker is the win bet and the obvious anchor for multiples if you’re playing the card that way. For a bit more value, My Boy is the each-way option in a race where several rivals are guessing games. The main danger is probably Wilcox Bridge, who represents a yard that can ready a newcomer, while Ayuq could leave a poor debut behind.

16:55 – attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap (Div I)
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a competitive enough Class 4 mile, with a mix of solid older handicappers and a few three-year-olds who could still have a bit more to offer from their current marks. Londoner brings the most reliable recent profile after back-to-back runner-up efforts, while Kalokalo is very interesting getting in with just 9st1lb and comes here off a mark of 89. Politely and Shipbourne also make plenty of appeal in a race where the younger legs may just hold the edge over exposed older rivals. Southwell’s Tapeta usually rewards those who can travel and quicken rather than grind, and in that respect Kalokalo catches the eye. It is not a race lacking depth, but it does feel more a winnable handicap than a particularly strong one.
Top Selections
1. Kalokalo – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jason Watson | Trainer: Charles Hills | Form: 312130 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 74
Kalokalo makes plenty of appeal in a race like this because he looks the sort who can still improve a touch beyond his current mark. His recent form has a solid shape to it, and although he was only midfield last time, that came after a productive spell and this easier-looking setup gives him a real chance to bounce back. The handicapper has not been overly harsh, and a rating of 89 with just 129lb on his back makes him a major player. Jason Watson is a good booking for a race that should suit a horse ridden with a bit of patience, and 9/2 looks fair rather than cramped. Bet: WIN
2. Londoner – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Daniel & Claire Kubler | Form: 954242 | Rating: 93 | Topspeed: 81
Londoner is hardly hiding from the assessor, but he has been knocking loudly on the door and another bold showing looks likely. Those last two second-place finishes tell the story of a horse in good order, and his Topspeed figure of 81 is one of the better pieces of evidence on offer in this field. The slight concern is obvious enough: he is carrying top weight and doesn’t have loads in hand from a mark of 93. Even so, consistency counts for plenty in races like this, and David Probert should be able to get him into a smooth rhythm. At 4/1 he is not a giveaway, but he is the most trustworthy each-way option in the line-up. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Kalokalo is the win play here, as he looks nicely treated against older horses and still has the profile of a progressive miler. Londoner is the each-way alternative for those wanting the safer angle, given how solid his recent placed form has been. The main dangers are Politely, who could easily resume progress, and Shipbourne, who is better than his latest run.

17:30 – attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap (Div II)
Race Details: 1m | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a properly competitive 0-95 handicap rather than a penalty kick, with a cluster of unexposed 3yos taking on a few battle-hardened older milers. Hot And Cold arrives in obvious form after resuming progress last time and is the solid one, but he is hardly thrown in now. Assiri Heights and Storm Point are the other younger legs in the race and both make appeal off workable marks, while Moving Shadow could easily step forward again after only three starts. Of the older brigade, Winston’s Warrior looks the likeliest to make the principals work, while On The River should run his usual honest race. Tricky enough, then, but the progressive profiles are where the eye is drawn.
Top Selections
1. Hot And Cold – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: 1-1251 | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 58
Prescott’s 3yo has the look of one still going the right way and his form figures back that up. He won on return, bumped into trouble only once in four starts this year, and got back on track with another victory last time. A mark of 92 asks a stiffer question in a race with depth, but this yard tends to place these improving middle-to-mile types cleverly and Luke Morris is an uncomplicated ally around here. The draw in 7 is fine, and at 7/2 he is not a giveaway, but he does bring the most convincing recent winning profile into the contest. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Assiri Heights – 11/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Oisin Murphy | Trainer: Andrew Balding | Form: 9-62 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 58
Assiri Heights is the one who makes plenty of each-way sense in a race where a few are tightly compressed by the assessor. He shaped with clear encouragement when second last time, building on his previous comeback run, and that gives him the look of a colt learning on the job rather than one exposed to the hilt. Off 84 he gets a fair bit of weight from the classier older horses, and Balding plus Oisin Murphy is not a combination to ignore in these autumn all-weather handicaps. The outside draw is no gift, but at 11/2 he still looks a perfectly fair each-way punt with upside. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Hot And Cold is the percentage call for the win bet, arriving here with the strongest recent form and the profile of a horse still ahead of his mark. For an each-way option, Assiri Heights appeals as the unexposed alternative getting weight. The obvious dangers are Storm Point, who is weighted to be involved, and Winston’s Warrior, who has the figures to threaten if building on his latest second.

18:00 – Follow @attheraces On X Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (For horses In Bands B, C & D) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a fair restricted maiden rather than a deep one, and the market has probably latched onto the right fillies. Ma Blushin Rosie brings the standout achieved form on figures after two solid efforts, while Orfilia has already shown enough to suggest a race like this is within reach if taking to Southwell’s Tapeta. The unknowns are interesting too: News, Keithaar and Connie Sachs all make debut appeal for good yards and any one of them could easily know their job first time. That said, proven racecourse experience often counts for plenty in these juvenile events around here. With 10 runners and a few with little to recommend them so far, it feels like a race where siding with substance over guesswork is the sensible play, even if one of the newcomers could be smart.
Top Selections
1. Ma Blushin Rosie – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Mikey Sheehy | Trainer: Adrian Paul Keatley | Form: 35 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed:
She sets the standard on what has actually been achieved. A mark of 84 in this company jumps off the page, and the bare form figures of 35 don’t tell the full story because they already put her comfortably ahead of most of these. This extra furlong ought to suit on paper and she doesn’t need to improve a huge amount to win a restricted maiden of this nature. There are unexposed debutantes lurking, but at 5/2 she still makes plenty of appeal because she’s the one with solid, bankable credentials rather than just stable whispers. Hard to oppose if reproducing her level. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Orfilia – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 48 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed:
Orfilia makes plenty of each-way sense in a race where several of the bigger prices look up against it. Her rating of 70 gives her a realistic platform, and while she was only fourth and eighth in her first two starts, this is not the sort of maiden where she needs to be anything out of the ordinary. Rossa Ryan is a notable booking for this surface and O’Meara’s juveniles often sharpen up with experience. At a straight 4/1 she’s not some hidden secret, but she does look the percentage play against the debutantes if you want one to run her race and be involved at the business end. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Ma Blushin Rosie is the win bet because she has the best established form and the clearest profile. Orfilia is the each-way option in a 10-runner field, with experience and a workable level already shown. The obvious dangers are the well-bred or well-connected newcomers, especially News and Connie Sachs, while Keithaar also needs a market check.

18:30 – Download The At The Races App Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper fillies’ handicap rather than a weak numbers job, with several progressive 3yos clashing with a few battle-hardened older mares. Afraj arrives on the back of a win and looks the obvious one to start with for the Gosdens, while Inside Story has been knocking loudly on the door and brings solid all-weather form for James Tate. Merry is another with a likeable profile from stall 1, and Miss Lady Grace comes here chasing a hat-trick after two wins at a lower level. The presence of improving types such as Bami and Chantelle makes it no cakewalk, but there is a sense that the younger fillies still have a bit in hand of the assessor. Tricky enough, yes, but not impossible to unpick.
Top Selections
1. Afraj – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Robert Havlin | Trainer: John & Thady Gosden | Form: 1-3341 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 65
Afraj looks the one with the most straightforward upside. She got her head back in front last time and that form string suggests she has been holding her level well before deservedly cashing in. An opening mark in the mid-80s still looks workable for a 3yo from this yard, especially over 7f on Tapeta where class and tactical pace tend to matter. Robert Havlin is a good fit for these uncomplicated, steadily improving fillies, and a draw in 6 should allow her to sit wherever the race develops. At 4/1 she is not a giveaway, but she does make plenty of sense in a race where some of the others may already be near their ceiling. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Inside Story – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: James Tate | Form: -54822 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed: 80
Inside Story is the each-way angle, even if she is near the front of the market, because she is running like a filly who should be thereabouts again. Those last two seconds were perfectly respectable efforts and her topspeed figure of 80 stands out favourably in this field. James Tate’s runners on the all-weather always command respect, and Rossa Ryan is exactly the sort you want aboard one likely to travel strongly and need producing at the right time. There is a fair argument that she is becoming expensive to follow, but in a 12-runner race with four places on offer she still makes obvious each-way appeal. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Afraj is the win play here, as she still looks on the upgrade and may have more in hand than most of these. Inside Story is the safer each-way punt given her consistency and strong all-weather profile. Merry is the danger from the inside draw, while Miss Lady Grace is respected despite this being a tougher assignment.

19:00 – Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper low-grade 3yo sprint and, even with a couple of non-runners, it still looks the sort of race where the pace and track position could prove decisive. Koffee And Kale arrives off a solid second and sets the standard on official figures, while My Mate Mackley has been admirably consistent and looks sure to be involved again from a handy draw. La Belle Forest is better than her latest run and Archie Watson’s team always command respect around Southwell, while Torbados and Stoneacre Joe have enough recent placed form to suggest they won’t be far away. It is not a deep race in quality terms, but it is a tricky enough handicap because plenty of them have bits of form. In that context, siding with reliability and value makes most appeal.
Top Selections
1. Koffee And Kale – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Michael Bell | Form: 574642 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 64
Koffee And Kale makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking depth. That latest second was another nudge that he is ready to cash in at this level, and his mark of 70 does not look beyond him in a Class 6. He has the joint-best Topspeed figure in the field, which matters in a race where not many arrive with convincing recent numbers, and Michael Bell’s runner has at least been keeping his form together. The draw in 11 is not ideal, but if Hector Crouch can get him into a decent rhythm early, he looks the most solid option. At 5/2 he is not a giveaway, but he is still the one they all have to beat.
Bet: WIN
2. La Belle Forest – 6/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Archie Watson | Form: 176647 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 64
La Belle Forest is the each-way play because there is a fair bit more ability here than the bare finishing positions suggest. She is not arriving on the back of a flashy run, but she is only 2lb below the top-rated horse and has already shown enough this season to be competitive in a race of this nature. The fact she matches Koffee And Kale on Topspeed is another plus, and Luke Morris is just the sort you want on a Southwell sprinter when things get scrappy late on. Available at 6/1, she looks a sensible each-way punt in a field where several rivals are exposed without offering much upside.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Koffee And Kale is the straightforward win bet, simply because he brings the strongest recent form and the clearest profile for this grade. For an each-way alternative, La Belle Forest looks the value at 6/1 with four places on offer. My Mate Mackley is the obvious danger if continuing his consistent run, while Torbados is another with enough recent form to get involved.

19:30 – Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Handicap
Race Details: 2m | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a low-grade staying handicap but it is not short on angles. The 3yos look to have a grip on it, with Last Flight, Fabled Spirit, Head Girl and Lady Of Clover all arriving with solid enough recent form, while Edwardtheninth is the older horse in the line-up with the most obvious current momentum after scoring last time. The market may well focus on Last Flight after that breakthrough win, but this is a deeper race than the bare class suggests and the step up to 2m will need seeing out properly. Southwell’s Tapeta often rewards rhythm and resolution over this sort of trip, so proven stamina, a workable mark and race position should be the key ingredients. Tricky enough, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Lady Of Clover – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Liam Wright | Trainer: George Scott | Form: 314314 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 55
She makes plenty of appeal in a race where a few arrive with questions to answer. Her recent profile is admirably consistent, alternating wins and placed efforts, and that latest fourth hardly reads badly in the context of this contest. A mark of 60 looks fair enough, especially when set against a useful Topspeed figure of 55, and she shapes like a filly who should cope with this test if settling into a smooth rhythm. George Scott’s runner is the type you can trust to run her race, and at 13/2 she looks a bit more interesting than some shorter ones who may have less in hand than the market assumes. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Sir Griflet – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Levey | Trainer: Dylan Cunha | Form: 600433 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 40
He is not the obvious one at first glance, but there is enough there to make him a live each-way player. The recent 4-3-3 sequence suggests he is gradually working his way into form, and he now lines up off 127 despite a rating of 64, which gives him a fighting chance if this turns into a proper stamina test. Sean Levey is a notable booking in this grade and should be able to get him organised from a tricky draw. He does not look wildly progressive, but in a race full of exposed stayers and unproven ones at the trip, 8/1 feels fair for a colt who is at least moving in the right direction. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lady Of Clover gets the vote as the win play because she brings the most solid blend of current form and a workable mark. Sir Griflet is the each-way punt at 8/1 in a 10-runner race with three places on offer. The obvious dangers are Last Flight, who is hard to knock after winning, and Edwardtheninth, who arrives here on the back of a success and won’t need much more to go close again.

20:00 – Free Bets On attheraces.com Handicap
Race Details: 4f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This sharp 4f handicap doesn’t look deep, but it does look awkward, which is often the way with these specialist sprints at Southwell. Courageous Sioux arrives with obvious upside after winning on his second start and is the one the market has latched on to, while Hanney Girl brings the strongest recent handicap form after going close last time. Managing Director is entitled to better than his latest effort and Brazilian Belle has shown enough pace to matter if bouncing back. Draw and early dash will be everything here, because there won’t be much time to recover if you miss the break. It’s not a race packed with proven Tapeta stars, so I’d rather side with the unexposed runner than the more exposed older handicappers.
Top Selections
1. Courageous Sioux – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Clive Cox | Form: 5-1 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed:
There’s every chance this three-year-old is still ahead of the assessor. He improved from his debut fifth to get off the mark next time, and that form profile of 5-1 is exactly what you want to see in a race like this where several of his rivals have already shown their hand. Clive Cox knows the time of day with sprinters and Rossa Ryan is an eye-catching booking for a contest that will be decided in seconds. From stall 3, he should be able to travel where it matters, and 11/4 feels fair rather than cramped given the potential for more to come over this minimum trip. Bet: WIN
2. Hanney Girl – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Sexton | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 399442 | Rating: 86 | Topspeed:
Hanney Girl is hardly hiding from the handicapper, but she’s running well enough to make appeal as the each-way play in a seven-runner field paying three places. Her latest second suggests she’s knocking loudly on the door, and she comes here with the highest rating in the line-up, which gives her a solid form backbone. The slight concern is stall 7 over a bare 4f, because you do not want to be giving ground away around here, but she has the pace to get involved early. At 9/2, she looks the sensible each-way punt against a favourite who still has to prove he can back up that last win.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Courageous Sioux is the win play because he’s the least exposed and could easily have more in hand than an opening mark of 81. Hanney Girl makes more appeal than most for each-way purposes, especially with three places on offer in a seven-runner race. The main dangers are Managing Director, who can rebound from a flat latest run, and Brazilian Belle if returning to her earlier winning form.

20:30 – Weekend Winners On At The Races Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 3 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper late-evening handicap rather than a throwaway finale, with several progressive 3yos taking on exposed but capable older stayers. Golden Knight is the obvious starting point after shaping well in stronger company and looks the one they all have to beat, but he is no secret in the market. Urchin has the profile of one who can keep improving now stepping into this sort of race, while Cliff Danger arrives on the back of a win and gets in light. Topteam and Assail have the ratings to feature if bouncing back, though both need to prove they can turn solid numbers into a winning effort here. It is competitive, but not impossible to solve, and the younger legs may hold the key.
Top Selections
1. Golden Knight – 11/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 1-6013 | Rating: 92 | Topspeed:
Golden Knight makes plenty of appeal in a race where the 3yos could easily dominate. He bounced back to win before finishing a respectable third last time, and that recent form reads well enough for a race of this nature. Off 92, he does not look overburdened, and Ed Walker’s runner still has the upside lacking in plenty of these. The draw in 4 is perfectly workable, Shoemark is a positive booking, and 11/4 is fair rather than fancy given he brings both current form and scope for a bit more at this trip. He looks the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Urchin – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam James | Trainer: K R Burke | Form: 3-12 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed:
Urchin is the each-way angle because he is lightly raced, unexposed over this sort of trip, and still open to more progress than most of his rivals. That 3-12 form line is tidy, and the latest second suggested he is learning his job without looking the finished article. A mark of 89 gives him room to be competitive against older horses, especially with just 130 on his back. Burke knows how to place one on the all-weather, and from stall 2 he should get a smooth trip if settling early. At 11/2, he looks a sound each-way punt with upside.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Golden Knight is the win play because he brings the strongest recent all-round profile and still looks progressive. Urchin is the each-way alternative in a 10-runner race with three places on offer, as he has the right profile to outrun his price. Cliff Danger is the obvious danger at the weights, while Topteam would be interesting if rediscovering his better form.
