Mon 14th Aug 2023 2.10 Kempton (7 runners) Unibet Horserace Betting-Operator Of The Year Nursery 1m

1. Jakima
   • Rating: The highest rated horse with a total of 340.9.
   • Notes: Despite initial disappointment considering her pedigree, her recent performance at Chester in a nursery suggests an improvement. Given that this race is considered weaker than the previous one she participated in, Jakima seems to be the top contender and is tagged as the “one to beat.”
2. Cherry Hill
   • Rating: With a score of 262.4, Cherry Hill is third in the ratings.
   • Notes: She has consistently been in the frame in her previous races in novice/maiden company, all at 6f. Although she faced a mishap at Lingfield, being hampered and stumbling, which led to her being pulled up, the initial odds and her past performance suggest she remains a “likely contender” for this race.
3. American Tale
   • Rating: Ranks second with a score of 268.1.
   • Notes: The horse has showcased minor form at shorter distances and is now moving up in trip for his handicap debut. He has also been gelded recently, which might influence his performance. The note suggests he is “entitled to show more,” indicating potential improvement.

Mon 14th Aug 2023 2.25 Wolverhampton (11 runners) Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 Confined Handicap 1m1½f

1. The Pug (IRE)
   • Ranking: Highest on the list with a total of 278.8.
   • Notes: Despite a recent poor performance at Leicester, The Pug previously won at Lingfield in similar conditions to this race. The horse has shown capability on AW surfaces and if he can bounce back to the form he showed at Lingfield, he’s a strong contender.
2. Musterion (IRE)
   • Ranking: Third with a total of 262.0.
   • Notes: An eight-race maiden, Musterion has been performing relatively well in recent starts. The step back up in trip seems favorable, given past performances, and the horse is racing from an in-form yard. This horse seems well-suited to the conditions of the race.
3. She’s A Mirage
   • Ranking: Fourth with a total of 258.6.
   • Notes: Managed to secure a win in June and then put in a decent effort in the following race on a different ground condition and distance. The step back up in trip for this race seems like it could be in her favor, making her a notable contender.

Honorable Mention: Louaizeh (IRE) – Despite not being among the top 3 in rankings, the notes suggest that she is an unexposed filly who may improve on the step up in trip, suggesting potential value, especially if there are positive market moves in her favour.

Unibet Support Safer Gambling Handicap
1m 

1. Rose Bolt (IRE)
   • Total Rating: 559.3, which is the highest of the field.
   • Notes: She was placed over 1m in her first two AW runs and managed to narrowly win against a newcomer when long odds-on at Bath. The fact that she should progress some more now handicapping for a top yard is promising. The combination of her past performances and potential for further improvement makes her a strong contender.
2. Daarree (IRE)
   • Notes: He made an eye-catching late move for third place at Chelmsford with Hurricane Kiko as the runner-up. The notes suggest he might have been a bigger threat with a clear run that day. While the draw might not be in his favor, he’s still a horse to respect given his recent performance and potential upside.
3. Lady Of Arabia
   • Total Rating: 406.2.
   • Notes: She’s a previous AW winner and managed to win again in a Haydock handicap. Even though she was a beaten favourite in her last race, she still ran a commendable race. Her consistent form makes her a likely contender in this race.

Unibet 3 Uniboosts Per Day Fillies Handicap
1m3f

1. Daphne May
   • Total Rating: 475.8
   • Notes: Four wins this year, starting with an event on Polytrack and followed by three wins on turf. She’s up 3lb for the recent win at Epsom where she won comfortably. Historically, she’s well handicapped which means she’s been assessed by the handicapper to have a good chance here. Given her strong recent form, especially with four wins this year, she’s a major contender.
2. Mildyjama (IRE)
   • Total Rating: 420.2
   • Notes: Had Kehlani behind in a previous race and showed consistent form over 1m2f. The step up to 1m3f is expected to suit which could bring further improvement. The horse has been consistent and appears to have been running at a similar distance to today’s race. This consistency and familiarity with the distance make her a strong contender.
3. Sainte Colette
   • Total Rating: 308.2
   • Notes: Seems to perform better on the AW (All Weather) and managed to hold her form until the latter stages over the same course and distance a month ago. If she can reproduce that effort, she’s expected to be in contention. The note suggests that with a repeat of her previous performance over the course and distance, she will be competitive.

Honourable Mention: Kehlani (IRE)

• She’s better now than her debut here. Although she was behind Mildyjama in a previous race, she was a close third. The recent form suggests she might be in the mix.

7f

1. Glory Call (IRE)
   • Ranking: 1st with a total score of 322.8.
   • Notes: A course winner over 6f in his penultimate start, showed good attitude, still early in his racing career, and could improve even more by going up in trip. Given his recent performances and potential for improvement, he is a top contender.
2. Asgards Captain (IRE)
   • Ranking: 2nd with a total score of 300.5.
   • Notes: Dead-heated for a win when upped to 1m at Ripon and up 3lb from that performance. Was placed in his sole AW start in Ireland. Making a Tapeta debut and seems to be in good form. Given his recent success and versatility, he should be taken seriously.
3. Frankfreya
   • Ranking: 4th with a total score of 270.7.
   • Notes: Despite never being sighted in three turf runs, this horse has been gelded since the last appearance and is now handicapping at a more ordinary level. The note suggests that the market should be checked for this horse, indicating that if there’s positive backing, the horse might be primed for a good performance.

At The Races App Market Movers British EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 1)
6f

1. Mapmaker:
   • Total Rating: 389.5
   • Notes: Found Royal Ascot Group 3 too challenging two runs ago but was successful in her latest outing in a Newbury novice. She has a big penalty for this race, but Liam Wright, a promising 7lb claimer, is booked to ride. The booking of such a jockey and her previous success makes her a leading contender.
2. Dubai Hills:
   • Total Rating: 320.8
   • Notes: Even though the trip to France for a 6f Group 3 race didn’t go as planned in June, he started off with two very encouraging 5f runs in the spring. He is seemingly held in good regard and his earlier runs suggest he has potential. He features prominently in calculations, indicating he’s a strong contender.
3. George’s Rascal (IRE):
   • Total Rating: 308.4
   • Notes: Raced freely in his last outing before weakening. He will be wearing a first-time hood in this race, which may help him settle. Even though he needs to show improvement, the change in gear and his decent rating make him a contender.

7f

1. He’s Our Star (IRE)
   • Rating: 393.5
   • Notes: He has recorded his fifth turf win when landing a classified event at Brighton (7f, good to firm; blinkers reapplied) just last week. Despite his record of 1-34 on AW, that single win came over C&D in December, indicating that he can perform at this track and distance. This makes him a strong contender given his recent form.
2. Stoney Lane
   • Rating: 303.2
   • Notes: With a record of 3-39, his last win was over the C&D ten days ago, which means he’s already proven at this track and distance very recently. His brave success at those odds shows he can outperform expectations and makes him a top contender.
3. Doomsday
   • Rating: 244.8
   • Notes: Even though he has only one win from 19 starts, he’s been consistently near the mark recently. With cheekpieces applied in his last two 7f classified events, he was only narrowly beaten at Catterick last Tuesday. If he can replicate that turf form on the AW, he becomes a notable contender.

J.J. Burke Peugeot 3-Y-O Maiden Hurdle
2m½f 

1. Doctor Nightingale (IRE)
   • Rankings: Highest total score in the field.
   • Notes: Had a decent Flat run, finishing third in a 7f maiden at Gowran. She has hurdling pedigree as her half-brother is a winning hurdler. Her relative performance against Show No Fear suggests she’s a contender, especially considering the 1m4f on heavy ground might have been an unsuitable condition for her last time.
2. Golden Temple (IRE)
   • Rankings: Close second in terms of the total score.
   • Notes: Has strong form on the Flat, notably being second to an Irish Derby/Grand Prix de Paris runner-up. While the removal of blinkers might be a factor to consider, his Flat form makes him a strong contender if he can translate that form to hurdling. The only concern mentioned is his jumping, but if he can get over the hurdles smoothly, he has a great shot.
3. Our Boy Wes
   • Rankings: Ranks third in the total scores.
   • Notes: Rated 71 on the Flat and showcased a good performance at Galway, suggesting potential when transitioning to hurdles. It’s highlighted that there would be no surprise if he adapts well to hurdling.

At The Races App Market Movers British EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 2)
6f

1. Gladly Ever After (IRE): With the highest ranking of 435.3 and strong past performances, this horse appears to be a prime contender. The note suggests that even after facing challenging conditions in a Group 3 race at Ascot, the horse is back in calmer waters and is very much of interest.
2. Drama: Ranked second at 355.2, Drama’s pedigree suggests a sprint background, and the note shows potential for improvement. On its debut at Newbury, the horse faced a denied clear run and still kept on well, suggesting there is more to offer. The addition of a tongue-tie might aid in performance enhancement.
3. Invincible Aura: With a ranking of 338.7, Invincible Aura’s lineage suggests prowess in sprint races. The debut performance was promising, and the horse maintained a prominent position throughout the race. The notes indicate that with normal improvement, Invincible Aura should be in the thick of things, making it a strong contender.

6.00 Windsor (10 runners)
Frimley Health Charity Nursery (Div 1)
6f

1. Pinpoint
   • Total Rating: 436.8
   • Notes: Pinpoint seems to be the standout contender. His total rating is the highest among the lot. Additionally, the notes indicate that he performed quite well in his last handicap debut. He’s already won under conditions similar to this race, and the mention of him having the potential scope suggests he could still be improving. The easy 6f should be in his favor, especially considering his recent win.
2. Monks Mead
   • Total Rating: 379.6
   • Notes: Finished last in his initial races but showed a significant improvement when winning a 7f Lingfield handicap. The notes suggest that the return to 6f shouldn’t be an issue. Despite being raised 6lb in the ratings, he’s still off a relatively low mark, indicating that there’s a good chance he might still be ahead of the handicapper.
3. Belvoir Kitten
   • Total Rating: 303.3
   • Notes: While he hasn’t shown much in his initial three races, the switch to handicaps might help. Being gelded since his last run could also result in improvement. The note about the yard being in good form is a positive sign. Typically, horses from in-form stables tend to perform well.

Mon 14th Aug 2023 6.30 Windsor (8 runners) Frimley Health Charity Nursery (Div 2) 6f

1. Another Gift
   • Total Rating: 359.5
   • Notes: The horse has showcased ability at both 6f and 7f on various surfaces. Missing a recent engagement due to ground conditions indicates sensitivity to track conditions, but her performances suggest potential. Additionally, the yard is in good form. The switch to handicap company could allow her to reveal more.
2. Birkie Boy
   • Total Rating: 220.8
   • Notes: The horse has had varied performances depending on the ground and distance. The less demanding track at Bath seemed more suitable for him, suggesting he could perform better with the right conditions. His connection to Pinpoint, who runs in the first division, also adds some credibility. The return to 6f is expected to be beneficial.
3. Dash Power
   • Total Rating: 286.2
   • Notes: Though Dash Power had three qualifying runs with varying results, there are indications that he can perform better. Specifically, his performance at Doncaster where he maintained a fast pace for a significant portion of a 7f race suggests underlying potential. The transition to handicapping at a modest level could be advantageous for him.

Mon 14th Aug 2023 7.40 Hamilton (8 runners) Allstone Group Scottish Trophy Handicap 1m1f

1. Gainsbourg
   • Total Rating: 544.3
   • Notes: This horse has been consistently performing with a 2-2 record since blinkers were introduced. Gainsbourg’s impressive performance at Ayr in soft conditions, winning by a comfortable 5 lengths, suggests current form. The primary concern seems to be the extension in distance, but the horse has previously won over an extended 1m, suggesting potential adaptability to the slightly longer race.
2. Dubawi Warrior
   • Total Rating: 475.0
   • Notes: Though beaten in his first two races, his win 15 days prior at Pontefract was significant, indicating the horse’s potential. Described as a “slow learner,” the expectation is that Dubawi Warrior will continue to progress, and his initial handicap rating might be favorable, providing him with a good chance in this race.
3. Shine On Brendan
   • Total Rating: 480.6
   • Notes: With seven wins in the last two seasons, this horse is in top form. However, most of these victories have been in Class 5 and 6 events. The jump to this company is a test, but his current form shouldn’t be underestimated.

Mon 14th Aug 2023 8.00 Windsor (12 runners) Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 Handicap 1m½f

1. Starry Eyes (USA)
   • Ranking: Highest total points of 413.0.
   • Notes: The mare has a quirky nature, but she managed to win a recent Chepstow classified under a new jockey. She’s moving back into a handicap on a workable mark. However, she does come with some risks due to her tendencies.
2. Thewaytothestars
   • Ranking: Second-highest total with 300.5 points.
   • Notes: Recently secured a win at Ffos Las, overcoming the odds. The horse carries a 5lb penalty in this race but is expected to be comfortable on the faster ground and remains well handicapped based on older performance data.
3. Global Tycoon (IRE)
   • Ranking: A respectable 275.4 total points, ranking 4th.
   • Notes: The horse has shown potential with placements off today’s mark in previous races, particularly on the AW. It’s critical to see if that form can translate to turf. The only concern is a previous disappointing turf start.

Mon 14th Aug 2023
8.10 Hamilton (6 runners)
Allstone William The Lion Handicap
6f

1. Slainte Mhath
   • Ranking: Highest ranked horse with a total of 485.4.
   • Notes: Has a history of three wins from six starts over C&D. Performed commendably in a recent race here and appears to enjoy the ground conditions. Looks to be in consistent form and is a proven contender over the course and distance.
2. Sound Reason
   • Ranking: Second-highest ranked with a total of 457.9.
   • Notes: Despite a less stellar performance in his last race, he had shown form with a win at Beverley and a close second at Ayr. However, there’s a concern over the 6f distance since he seems more optimized for 5f. But, given his recent form and ranking, he can’t be ruled out.
3. Iris Dancer
   • Ranking: Ranks third with a total of 410.1.
   • Notes: Has a history over C&D, and although she was outperformed by Slainte Mhath recently, her front-running style could be an advantage if she gets an uncontested lead. The distance seems suitable, and she has proven herself at this course before.

Mon 14th Aug 2023 8.20 Ballinrobe (16 runners) C.J. Sheeran Ltd Handicap Hurdle (80-102) 2m7f

1. Sarah Beara (IRE)
   • Ranking Total: 377.0
   • Notes: Sarah Beara performed commendably in maidens and garnered significant support during her successful handicap debut at Wexford on Friday. Given that performance, she seems well-placed even with a penalty, assuming this race isn’t too close to her last one.
2. No Thanks
   • Ranking Total: 363.1
   • Notes: He came in second to the clear winner, Father Jed, in the previous race at this course. Additionally, his performance on the Flat at Galway was notable. He’s expected to perform well.
3. Kingston Kid (IRE)
   • Ranking Total: 218.2
   • Notes: Kingston Kid has demonstrated consistency as a hurdler. Even though he may not have the best win rate, his endurance is undeniable. He’s a solid stayer, suggesting that he should be a contender in this race.

Mon 14th Aug 2023
8.40 Hamilton (7 runners)
Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap
1m4f 

1. Aighear
   • Rating: 383.5
   • Notes: Aighear is a C&D winner on soft ground and has the ability to stay up to 1m7f. He showed an improved effort in his latest run at Musselburgh, coming close to winning. The horse is now up 1lb and represents the leading trainer-jockey combination at this track this season. This is a strong indicator of potential success.
2. Blazer Two
   • Rating: 300.8
   • Notes: Blazer Two has two wins over 1m4f on fast ground and has shown the ability to act on good to soft ground when he secured a third-place finish at Hamilton on his stable debut last month. Although he hasn’t raced on genuine soft ground, his return to this distance is seen as a positive move, and he’s regarded as a probable contender.
3. Churchella (IRE)
   • Rating: 305.2
   • Notes: Although Churchella is 0-6, she has displayed potential, especially with her second-place finish at Leicester. This suggests she has the ability to clinch a race. However, she will need to overcome her recent subpar performances to prove herself in this race.
