Todays Racing -----England--Ireland

Bloody hell these plots of Skeltons what a crooked fella .....I saw how that aptly name one that couldn't get beat today pulled up to go with the rest of them from this season.

The only one you need to worry about is Panic Attack with form figures of 111 last 3 runs, hidden in plain sight.
 
Today’s Lay of the Day:
1448 Lingfield Tilsworth Max
Horse has an AW record of 1/17 of which the course side is 1/6.
Gained its first win on 10th January in a Class 6, 0-50 Handicap over 7 furlongs, off a mark off 44.
It had today’s Jockey aboard and 9st 9lbs on its back.
Today’s race is identical in most aspects apart from its rating which has gone up to 50, so 6lbs extra and it has to race over 1 furlong further.
After the win it had a similar race at this course off 50 but it couldn’t deal with the rise and was beaten 4+ lengths.
Distance wise on the Aw its record is 0/4 and 0 places.
Other in the race are on the same mark as their previous run or taking a drop so I don’t see a reason as to why this one should turn it around.
Its Sire has a 5 yr AW record of 1/73, so this one’s win last time was a surprise more than anything. The record in that period at today’s distance is 0/12 and 0 places.
The combination of the above factors put a negative on its back for me.
Trainer at the Course the last 5 years has a record of 9/123.
His last winner was this horse in January 2026 but prior to that the previous winner was August 2024. Tilsworth Max broke a losing run of 27 and since the win, he’s on another losing run of 9.
CD wise the record over 5 years is 0/17.
The cynic in me says that this one is here to get its mark reduced and then go back to 7 furlongs for a punt.
Very opposable for me.
 
Been a quiet few days and not finding that many lays but we'll go for one today. Lay of the Day: 1520 Musselburgh Divas Doyen
Horse has career record of 2/31 of which Chases account for 2/23.
Its first win was November 2024 at Carlisle, a Class 5, 0-105 Handicap, over 2m 4f on good going. Its mark that day was 81, but it ran off 78 due to a 3lb claim.
The next win was at Hexham in March 2025, a Class 5,0-100 Handicap over 2m4f on good/soft going. Its mark that day was 83, but it ran of 76 due to a 7lb claim.
Both races it only carried 10st 2lbs or 10st 4lbs.
Today’s race is pretty much the same as the 2 wins, but it runs off a mark of 84 and has 11st 4lbs on its back.
Minor point is that both wins came on undulating tracks and on today’s flat surface the record is 0/11.
It’s going to have to do more to take this.
Trainer at the Course the last 5 years has a record of 2/26. Chases wise it’s 2/20. The last winner was November 2024 but there have only been 5 runners since.
Current stable form would be the concern though.
The last winner they produced was this Horse in March 2025. The stable is on a losing run of 44 and there have been just 4 places.
Jockey at the Course the last 5 years has a record of 7/74 with a Chase angle of 1/30.
The Chase winner came back in January 2024 and he’s on a losing run of 18.
Recent form hasn’t been anything special with a 30 day record of 0/17.
He hasn’t had a winner since the turn of the year and is on a losing run of 35.
Not for me and it’s worth opposing in my view.
