Saturday racing: trainer stat, Moffatt at Cartmel and is Joseph going to unleash a good one?

There’s action from seven tracks in Britain and Ireland on Saturday and Adrian Wall has highlighted all of the interesting facts and stats, including an interesting David O’Meara stat.

Interesting stat at Beverley

David O’Meara’s profit to a £1 level stake with horses being stepped up in trip is a whopping £99.13 and he will run Uncharteredterritory which is an ironic name for this runner who is now stepping up in trip here! He really impressed when gaining a first victory over 1m1f on soft at Carlisle handicap in June but raced way too keenly when sixth at Ayr on latest over 1m2f. If he settles better, this stiffer test should suit on what is his first try at 1m4f so he must be respected.

Moffatt bids for Cartmel hat-trick

Trainer James Moffatt farms Cartmel and he has won the closing 2m5f handicap chase in both 2024 and 2025 with Judicial Review, who is back for more now and bidding for his hat-trick. He has won three times at this venue in total and was narrowly denied here over 3m1f in July. He was below his best last time but is now 8lb lower than when landing this contest last year.

1 million guineas colt makes second outing

Rock Montreal was a hugely expensive yearling and he did enough to score on his 7f Yarmouth debut a couple of weeks ago. He wasn’t given a hard time but had plenty in the locker and this Godolophin-owned colt can only continue to improve for trainer Roger Varian

Is Joseph O’Brien about to unleash another monster for Juddmonte?

Monogram looks an absolute monster for the Joseph O’Brien team and could himself and Juddmonte team up with another exciting debutant in Cluster in the opening mile maiden at the Curragh? The son of Frankel has a beautiful pedigree. His dam won over 1m2f, and is a sister to the high-class Midday. He holds a Group 2 entry next month and could be anything.
