Daily Pick for Racing: Expert Tips for Eight Matches Across Saturday, 9th August's Horse Races
Racing Roundup for August 15, 2025
The racing scene is heating up across the UK and Ireland this Sunday, with a host of exciting contests taking place at Ascot, Ayr, Curragh, Haydock, Kilbeggan, Lingfield, Newmarket, and Redcar. Here's a rundown of some notable competitors and interesting horses to watch:
Ascot
Almuhit is a rejuvenated hat-trick seeker in the 2.10 race, while La Vita Nova, the most lightly raced horse in the 2.10 race, is trained by Jessica Harrington and Hollie Doyle.
Ayr
Clonmacash is high on the list for the 7.12 race, and Thunderstorm Katie and Spun To Gold provide Jim Goldie with a strong two-pronged attack in the same race. Annie Edson Taylor could benefit from the addition of blinkers in the 7.12 race, and Mersea is better than a Class 6 operator and can aim for her second win of the month in the same race.
Curragh
Al Haarith is a real eyecatcher over C&D on Derby weekend and is the notable horse in the 1.45 race. Annie Edson Taylor also competes at the Curragh, in the 7.12 race, after finishing fourth of 25 at the same course on her only attempt at 2m.
Haydock
Tropical Heat could well build on her Sandown success and show further progress in the 4.45 race.
Kilbeggan
Hand Over Fist is a C&D winner who is down in grade with a good claimer taking off 5lb and first-time blinkers in the 7.30 race.
Lingfield
Over Spiced, a C&D winner, is competing in the 7.22 race, with a better draw to potentially grab the favoured stands' rail.
Newmarket
Righthere Rightnow, who showed promise last time, is competing in the same race as Royal Velvet. Royal Velvet, known for her consistency and progression at Newmarket, is also in the race.
Redcar
The 3.12 race at Redcar features several interesting competitors, including Eeetee, who has a fine record at Redcar and is aiming for win number five on this course, Criminal Shore, another 3yo competitor, The lightly raced Zou’s Your Daddy, who is unexposed as he moves into handicaps, and Paladin, who may bounce back after a disappointing performance, with nothing wrong with the form of his Wetherby win in June.
