Opera Wave (2/5), Lord Normandy (10/3), Madeleine Moonshot (7/1)

12:40 Newmarket - 31 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

OPERA WAVE had advanced her form since the hood went on and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up her breakthrough Southwell victory. Lord Normandy appeals as the one to chase home David Simcock's filly ahead of Madeleine Moonshot.
