HORSE RACING BETTING ODDS COMPARISON

Improved for the step up in trip/switch to more positive tactics (set a sound gallop) when 1½ lengths third of 13 on nursery debut at Naas (1m, good to soft). Similar performance may be enough to land this ordinary maiden, even with her latest form taking a few knocks since.

Fair form in a couple of starts for Mrs J. Harrington, latterly unsuited by the drop to 6f when 2¼-length sixth in a big-field Curragh maiden 7 weeks ago. First-time tongue strap added by new stable and looks one of the more likely winners stepping back up in trip.

Zarak colt who has shown some promise in Curragh maidens 3 months apart, latterly beaten 11 lengths over 9f (heavy) there. Better to come, perhaps in handicaps over further.

Starspangledbanner colt who's needed the experience in 7f maidens at the Curragh/Listowel. In top hands and may well make more impact with first-time blinkers added for this step up in trip.

Left debut form behind when 1¼-length third in first-time blinkers in a claiming maiden at Naas (1m), running on in the manner of one who'll stay further. Needs a fair bit more in a stronger race here, though.

Finished runner-up in a barrier trial in May. Seemingly being brought along steadily under Rules, faring no better than her previous 2 starts when beaten 9 lengths at Cork (1m, 25/1) latest. At least worth a market check.

Useful pedigree. Has finished mid-field in 7f maidens at Leopardstown/Naas. Should do better at some point, possibly in handicaps.

Showed more than first time up when beaten 5½ lengths at Naas (7f, 50/1, good to soft). This may be a springboard to handicaps.

Again shaped like one for the longer term when mid-field in a maiden at Punchestown (1m, good, 100/1) second time up.

Has shaped like a handicap project in a couple of 7f maiden starts, sent off at 66/1 when well-held seventh in Galway maiden latest. Tongue strap now added by top yard

Fared little better than on debut when beaten 12 lengths at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 8 days ago.

Bred to be useful. No show at long odds either start. Another one for handicaps.

Hasn't shown any ability in 3 starts, latterly in first-time hood at Navan (6f).

First-time cheekpieces and return to sprinting worked the oracle when getting off the mark at Lingfield 11 days ago. Not in same form when a remote third of 11 at Kempton 12 days ago but too early to forget her most recent win and blinkers are now reapplied.

Much improved when getting off the mark on handicap debut at Southwell (6f) on reappearance in April and placed on next 3 starts but hasn't scaled same heights more recently, albeit taking a small step back in right direction when third of 12 at Salisbury (6f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces go on.

Winless this season but took a step forward in a refitted visor with second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) last month and shaped as if still in form when a luckless seventh at Southwell the following week. Leading player.

Bagged a pair of 6f Chepstow handicaps in August. Unable to lead from a high draw when a solid sixth of 16 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) later that month but found less than looked likely when fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Still considered.

Scored second time up at Dundalk in January but seemed to lose her way for Daniel McLoughlin this summer and was again below form on debut for this yard at Windsor 53 days ago. Hood back on.

Respectable fourth at Windsor on reappearance in May but he's winless since 2023 and all 3 outings for Adam Kirby have been uninspiring. Passed over despite much-reduced mark.

Acclamation filly who was runner-up all 3 starts at up to 6f last year. Backward step on handicap debut in January and was again down the field after a 5-month break at Wolverhampton in June. Off another 111 days.

Left debut form behind when second of 12 in 5f maiden at Dundalk in January 2025 for Kieran Cotter. Shaped as if needing the run after over a year off at Southwell in March but trailed home last of 5 at Lingfield on handicap debut a month later. Bit to prove on the back of a breathing operation.

Won a novice over 6f at Bath in July before looking unsuited by the track at Chepstow on handicap debut next time. Fewer excuses at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and tongue strap now goes on.

Well-bred type who only needed to match the form of his promising Doncaster debut second when getting off the mark in a Ffos Las maiden (7.4f) in August. Looks the type to do better again, with this step up in trip a plus, and bold showing anticipated.

Camelot colt who has displayed ability at long odds both starts, albeit not threatening for win purposes when seventh of 10 in a Doncaster maiden (1m) 23 days ago. Certainly appeals as the type to do better again and fancied to be thereabouts.

Too Darn Hot half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Familiar. 40/1, went with only a little encouragement when eighth of 11 in a class 3 Ascot maiden (7f) on debut 31 days ago. This promises to reveal more but likely to find a couple too good.

Foaled April 28. Cracksman gelding. Closely related to 1¼m winner Hosanna Power and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 16.6f Mildenberger. Dam 1½m-2m winner. Stable's newcomers usually better for a run and longer trips will surely be more his bag down the line.

550,000 gns Night of Thunder colt. Down the field in valuable York maiden (7f) on debut in August and whilst he was more alert from the stalls, he probably did too much too soon when again well held at Ayr 18 days ago. Likely type for handicaps in due course.
