Lingfield and Newcastle get underway with a packed All-Weather card for Sky Sports Racing, as jockeys gear up to tackle some of the best talent in the industry.
First off, Denis Quinn's Wyld Bill is looking to complete an impressive hat-trick at Lingfield, having already secured five wins from his 11 starts since joining Quinn's yard. The talented five-year-old, who will be ridden by Jack Dace for the first time, has been on a tear lately, notching up three victories in his last four runs.
However, Wyld Bill faces stiff competition in the penultimate event at Lingfield, with Denis' old rival Epictetus looking to rebound from a disappointing finish in his last outing. The seasoned horse, who went down by less than a length, has a chance to bounce back from that defeat as he takes on an even shorter distance.
Meanwhile, Mark Loughnane's Arcadian Nights is looking for his 50th% strike rate at Lingfield with a win in this event, and can be backed at a fair price. Kate O'Riley also returns to the flat after a successful stint over hurdles, where she finished third in a Grade Two at Cheltenham.
The Newcastle card gets underway with Francesi, who is currently third in the horse of the year leaderboard, lining up for his bid for the top prize. With nine rivals vying for victory in the Win £250,000 Handicap, Tony Carroll's seven-year-old must perform a string of impressive rounds to take down the competition.
Pink Socks has been on fire since moving to Ian Williams' yard and could cause an upset with her 100% strike-rate over Newcastle's course and distance. Aisling Oscar is the one horse that could potentially stop her in her tracks, however.
The final event at Newcastle sees Spartan Fighter bid to continue his impressive form for Antony Brittain, as he takes on nine rivals in the Midnite: Built For 2026 Handicap. The nine-year-old's latest win has propelled him into sixth place in the horse of the year standings, and a victory here would cement his position.
Cam Hardie's mount will need to get the job done today if he is to keep up the pressure with Aisling Oscar, who currently sits second in the leaderboard.

first of all wyld bill is looking SO strong rn, 5 wins from 11 starts & on a roll with 3 wins in his last 4 runs 
denis quinn's got this horse right where he wants him. but let's be real epictetus is gonna give it a run for his money too 
arcadian nights needs to come through tho, 50% strike rate at lingfield would be 
and kate o riley returning from hurdles is exciting 
aisling oscar might just stop her tho 
cam hardie's got his work cut out with spartan fighter, but he's been on fire rn 
. I've been following Wyld Bill and he's on fire 
! I think Denis Quinn has got a great chance of completing that hat-trick at Lingfield, but Epictetus could give him a run for his money 
. And can Pink Socks keep her 100% record going over Newcastle's course? 
I'm really excited to see how Francesi and Spartan Fighter perform too 
I'm keeping an eye on Pink Socks too, she seems like the dark horse (pun intended) in Newcastle's events. Who do you guys think is gonna take it all home? 
could make for some exciting racing today!
so i think wyld bill is gonna crush it at lingfield - 5 wins from 11 starts is crazy! and epictetus has been looking for a comeback spot after that close call last time out. but honestly, i love the competition here - arcadian nights could definitely be the one to beat, especially with a win at a fair price 
but too late lol wyld bill is gonna be a total beast at lingfield!!! 5 win from 11 starts and now he's up against epictetus again? yeah, Denis Quinn's got this one in the bag 
the racing scene is on fire this season! I mean, looking at Wyld Bill's stats, 5 wins from 11 starts is insane 
, and Arcadian Nights' 50th% strike rate would be a major milestone. But what I find really interesting is how Pink Socks has been dominating Newcastle's course, with a 100% record over there 
. And Spartan Fighter's form is looking solid too, he needs to deliver today for Antony Brittain 
wyld bill is on fire right now like three wins in his last four runs thats impressive 
️
first off, Wyld Bill is lookin like a strong contender at Lingfield, but we gotta keep an eye out for Epictetus - he's been on fire lately & could definitely cause some drama. 
. But Aisling Oscar's form can't be ignored 
. Overall, it's shaping up to be an epic showdown
