Here's why you need to note these Andrew Balding and Joseph O'Brien runners popping up in unlikely locations

Carlisle: Balding heads north

Hampshire-based Andrew Balding, who was top trainer at Glorious Goodwood, sends one runner on a 300-mile journey north as Secret Sonata looks for an improved performance on her second start in the 6f fillies' novice (7.35).

The three-year-old was third of three runners at Nottingham a month ago under Callum Hutchinson, who is on board once again. It will be the jockey's third ride at the track, having finished third and fourth on his two previous opportunities.

Balding has had a winner and second from his two runners at Carlisle this season.

The trainer is 4-5 in handicaps at the track this year. She runs Original Thinker in the mile apprentice handicap (6.05).

Cork: bumper to watch

Summer Plate winner Ballysax Hanx emerged from the 2m2½f bumper (5.00) last season, and a promising field go to post 12 months on.

Walks The Talk got within half a length of Closutton, the Willie Mullins-trained horse named after his yard, at Downpatrick last month, while Gold Cup-winning trainer Gavin Cromwell runs Court Canyon, who was last seen finishing down the field at the Punchestown festival in May.

Lingfield: rare runner for Joseph O'Brien

Joseph O'Brien, whose three previous runners at the Surrey track have all been beaten, runs Teewinot in the 7f maiden (3.53).

The two-year-old improved from a debut fourth to go within a length and a quarter of Mayflower at Leopardstown last month.

The daughter of Sioux Nation holds high-profile entries, including in the Goffs Million at the Curragh in September, and Sean Levey is booked as she looks to get off the mark.

Naas: Zuheila bids to retain unbeaten record

Zuheila is entered in the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at the track at the end of the month, and trainer Johnny Murtagh has opted to give his filly some valuable experience over the course and distance in the 6f contest (1.46).

Zuhelia made a successful debut at Navan last month and the decision to give the daughter of Blue Point another run was no doubt impacted by her greenness three weeks ago.

Jockey Ben Coen said then: "She's a nice, big filly and bred to have a bit of speed. She's been doing things nicely at home. She had a good look around when she hit the front, but hopefully she can keep on improving."

The second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh and tenth from Zuhelia's first run have all been beaten since and Bonus Time, who has form figures of 212, looks the main danger.

Ripon: debut winners clash

Two debut winners go head to head in the 6f fillies' novice (2.40), with Dandana and Pearl Fortune looking to go on to better things.

Dandana produced the higher Racing Post Rating, 79 compared to 75, when winning for Simon and Ed Crisford at Kempton last month.

The 600,000gns buy is ridden once again by Harry Davies, who is 3-7 at the track.

Ripon stat: race specialist

Fortamour has won the 6f handicap (3.40) twice (2021 and 2024) and was beaten a nose on the other occasion he was in the line-up. The nine-year-old returns bids for a third win.

Windsor: can Angel Of Anfield get off the mark?

Angel Of Anfield has twice been beaten at odds-on since making a promising debut at Ascot in April. The Tom Clover-trained two-year-old returns to the same track and trip as when he chased home Regional Rock in May for the 6f novice (5.45).

The son of Harry Angel was beaten three-quarters of a length by Song Of The Clyde at Chester last time but with the way the form of his first run has worked out, a first victory should not be far away.

At Ascot, Angel Of Anfield was a length and a half behind the winner Wise Approach, who has since finished second in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes and won a Listed race at Newbury by four lengths. Runner-up Super Soldier confirmed the form with the third-placed Tadej when beaten a neck in the Group 2 Prix Robert Papin.

"It was a particularly strong race," Clover said of his juvenile's first run. "Rossa Ryan was taken with him and I think he's a lovely horse."

Neil Callan and Richard Kingscote, both Group 1-winning jockeys last month, could not get Angel Of Anfield's head in front on his last two runs and Luke Morris, who has two winners from five rides for Clover this year, takes over.
