  • Has experience with three races, which could give it an edge.

2. Bourgeoisie

  • Second-highest rating at 507.5.
  • Strong previous form, with a close second at this course and Newmarket.
  • The debut effort at Newmarket has panned out well, indicating that the horse can compete with quality competition.

  • Entered in high-profile races like the Champagne Stakes and Royal Lodge.

3.00 Epsom (5 runners)
Betfred Nifty 50 Handicap
6f

Granary Queen (IRE)

Pros:

• Has displayed consistency throughout the year.
• Recent near-victory at Brighton where she was just nabbed on the finishing line indicates she’s in good form.
• 1lb lower today, which could give her a slight edge.

Cons:

• Struggles to secure victories, even when showing consistent form.
• A tactical affair at this trip might not favour her, given her history.

2. Count Otto (IRE)

Pros:

• Chasing a hat-trick, showing excellent recent form.
• Two consecutive C&D wins last month show that he’s familiar with and performs well in these conditions.
• Only increased by 4lb despite those victories, suggesting he remains a competitive option.

Cons:

• Might face stronger competition today that could challenge his winning streak.

3. Muscika

Pros:

• A veteran horse that still possesses enthusiasm and desire to compete.
• Came close to victory at Wolverhampton recently, which implies he’s still in good form.
• Familiar with and has performed well over C&D in the past, suggesting he could replicate or better those performances.

Summary:

• Granary Queen (IRE) has shown consistent performances but struggles to clinch victories. However, her recent form and a 1lb decrease might work in her favour.
• Count Otto (IRE) is in outstanding form with back-to-back C&D wins. He remains a strong contender with only a slight increase in weight.
• Muscika, the veteran of the group, has displayed an enduring spirit and, with his recent close finishes and experience on this C&D, can’t be counted out.

3. Miaharris:
   • Rating: 624.2
   • Pros: High price as a 2yo, hinting at quality. Won strongly at Sandown on debut, showcasing her potential. The style of her win suggests that she could be a useful prospect in the future.

Fri 18th Aug 2023 4.25 Tramore (8 runners) EY Chase 2m5½f

1. Salvador Ziggy (IRE)
   • Pros:
     • Highest rating of 642.5.
     • Runner-up in the Pertemps which is a competitive race.
     • Has shown potential over fences with a win on chase debut.
     • Has a lot of room for improvement and appears to be in form.
   • Cons:
     • This trip might be on the shorter side for him. He might need a longer distance to showcase his best.
2. Fighter Allen (FR)
   • Pros:
     • Second-highest rating of 608.6.
     • Has won at this track in the past (April 2022).
   • Cons:
     • Struggled in recent chase starts.
     • Underperformed in the Galway Plate which raises concerns about his current form.
3. Darver Star (IRE)
   • Pros:
     • Third-highest rating of 567.8.
     • Showed form with a runner-up performance at Wexford in March.
   • Cons:
     • Has had inconsistent performances and is somewhat unpredictable.
     • Requires a career-best chase effort to win this race, especially carrying joint-topweight.
     • Struggled in his last two races which can be a concern for his current form.

Summary:

• Salvador Ziggy stands out as the most compelling contender. His recent form and potential over fences, coupled with the highest rating, make him the horse to beat. However, the concern is the trip which might be slightly short for him.
• Fighter Allen has track form but his recent struggles make him a bit of an enigma. If he returns to his best, he can challenge, but his current form is a concern.
• Darver Star has shown glimpses of talent but is inconsistent. If he brings his A-game, he could be in the mix, but he’s carrying a heavy weight and would need to outperform his recent efforts.

Fri 18th Aug 2023 4.50 Cork (13 runners) Buy Tickets Online At http://www.corkracecourse.ie Handicap 5f

Not Too Real Bad (IRE) – Total Rating: 490.0

• Pros:
  • Highest total rating of 490.0.
  • Has a Course and Distance (C&D) win from May.
  • Not beaten far on her last two outings.
  • Now below 1lb her last winning mark.
• Cons:
  • Was defeated by “American In Paris” over 6f at Dundalk.

2. So Majestic (IRE) – Total Rating: 396.4

• Pros:
  • Second-highest total rating.
  • Showed improvement winning 5f handicaps at Down Royal and Naas.
  • Has a win over today’s rival, Distillate, at Down Royal.
• Cons:
  • Aggregate 19lb rise in weight has proved too much in recent outings.

3. Never Shout Never (IRE) – Total Rating: 392.5

• Pros:
  • Close third in total rating.
  • Sent off as favourite on debut, which shows market confidence.
  • Clear of third when runner-up in a recent 5f Tipperary maiden.
  • Making a debut in handicap races where he could have an edge.
• Cons:
  • Raced too freely in one of his previous races which might indicate temperament issues.

Analysis:

• Not Too Real Bad stands out with the highest total rating and her previous success at the course and distance. Her recent form indicates consistency, and she’s currently racing below her last winning handicap mark, making her a strong contender.
• So Majestic has a good rating, but the significant rise in weight might be a concern. However, his past victories, especially over Distillate, can’t be ignored. He’s got higher odds, which might indicate less confidence from the market, but his prior successes make him a valuable contender.
• Never Shout Never has the third-best rating, and while he showed some temperament issues in the past, he’s still a young horse with potential. His second place in a recent maiden race and the fact that this is his first handicap suggest he might have an edge or room for improvement.

Oddyssey

Pros:

• Ratings: Highest overall rating at 597.7, indicating a strong performance.
• Form: Left debut form well behind with strong recent performances, including coming close in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and finishing third in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes.
• Pedigree: The step up to 1m should suit on pedigree.

Cons:

• As the favourite, there’s a possibility of short odds, meaning less value for punters.

2. Allegorical

Pros:

• Ratings: Second-highest rating at 524.3, indicating good potential.
• Form: Ran well for a long time at Newbury, finishing fourth out of ten, which was a promising start.
• Pedigree: Half-brother to three winners, indicating strong bloodline potential.

Cons:

• Has to find quite a bit to match Oddyssey based on figures. However, with a step up in trip, there’s potential for improvement.

3. Kingdom Of Time

• Pedigree: A very striking pedigree, being a second foal to a French 1m2f winner, related to multiple winners including Highland Reel, Idaho, and Cape Of Good Hope. Given this pedigree, there’s a lot of potential for this horse.
• Trainer’s Performance: From a yard that won this race last year, which means the horseshould be well-prepared.

LB Group Handicap
1m

Bopedro (FR) Total Rating: 594.3

Pros:

• Highest total rating.
• Seven-time winner and has versatility with ground.
• Previous success at Newmarket.
• Only 1lb higher than his last win.

Cons:

• Mixed record since his last win and wasn’t involved after a poor start in his latest outing.
• Needs to return to top form to be competitive.

2. Lose Your Wad (IRE) Total Rating: 573.4

Pros:

• Relatively high total rating.
• Won a maiden race earlier in the year.
• Still lightly raced, which implies potential for further improvement.

Cons:

• Has not performed well in recent handicap races.
• Needs to show more to be competitive in this race.

3. Sudden Ambush Total Rating: 561.4

Pros:

• Has won at Goodwood and Windsor this year.

• Has a tight finish in a small field during his last win, suggesting he needs to make more progress.

Brief Summary: Based on the ratings and notes, Bopedro stands out with the highest total rating and a history of success, but he needs to bounce back from his latest performance. Lose Your Wad, although not at his best recently, still has potential for growth.

However, all three horses have both strengths and areas of concern, making this a competitive and challenging race to predict.
