1.52 Make A Difference Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap (1m4f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Bohemian Breeze (5, 11-1tp, OR 64): Total TimeWise Rating of 253.
  • Sea Of Charm (7, 10-12b, OR 61): Total TimeWise Rating of 249.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Bohemian Breeze: This horse had a short-head win in July at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) and has since placed second or third in two seven-runner races (1m4f/1m5f), indicating it “should be on the premises”.
  • Sea Of Charm: A seven-year-old, Sea Of Charm won over the Course & Distance (C&D) in May and followed up with victories at Windsor and Ffos Las in its last two outings. It is considered “a contender, granted suitable ground”. The Spotlight Verdict places Sea Of Charm as the narrow preference to Pride Of Nepal, noting it is “on a hat-trick”.

2.22 Fostering Changes Lives EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Band D) (5½f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Loleeta (2, 9-2, OR 66): Total TimeWise Rating of 265.
  • Calafiori (2, 9-7p1, OR 69): Total TimeWise Rating of 254.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Loleeta: With form figures of 442, Loleeta has made a “solid start to her career,” most recently finishing a front-running second at Lingfield (5f, AW). She is considered a “leading player back on turf”.
  • Calafiori: This horse is described as a “consistent yet frustrating sort who has a habit of finishing second and has been a beaten favourite on four occasions”. First-time headgear “may enable him to go one better”. The Spotlight Verdict suggests the headgear may help him “cure his seconditis”. However, the Spotlight Verdict ultimately prefers the attractively bred newcomer Solar Invincible due to the “ordinary” form standard.

2.52 Brighton & Hove Fostering Nursery Handicap (6f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Highlighting (2, 10-1tp, OR 59): Total TimeWise Rating of 212.
  • Redditizio (2, 9-6p, OR 50): Total TimeWise Rating of 196.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Highlighting: This horse recently came from last to first in a 5f nursery at Chepstow on Monday. Despite a 6lb penalty, which “seemingly demands more of her,” she is “clearly a player”. The Spotlight Verdict believes Highlighting could “emerge ahead of those old adversaries again”.
  • Redditizio: Redditizio has “looked exposed after her nine races yielded three seconds but no win”. She was beaten a head at Chelmsford and cut down late by Highlighting at Chepstow over 5f. The Spotlight Verdict notes she “looked far more speedy” at Chepstow but “still lost out” and now needs to last an “additional furlong”.

3.22 Brighton Sprint Series Final Handicap (6f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Tea Sea (5, 9-10b, OR 71): Total TimeWise Rating of 292.
  • Pietro (3, 9-12, OR 76): Total TimeWise Rating of 285.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Tea Sea: After scoring four times on AW last winter, Tea Sea secured a turf success at Brighton (7f, good to firm). The horse is considered a “likely player, provided he copes with drop in trip”. The Spotlight Verdict lists Tea Sea as a “likely danger provided they cope with the trip”.
  • Pietro: This three-year-old is a “steadily progressive handicapper,” mostly over 7f, with a win at Brighton and a good run at York in July. He is a “major player, provided he’s as effective back down in distance”. The Spotlight Verdict places Pietro as its “second choice” in the race.

3.52 It Takes A Village Handicap (1m)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • H Key Lails (5, 10-0p, OR 68): Total TimeWise Rating of 253.
  • Kracking (5, 9-10t, OR 64): Total TimeWise Rating of 243.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • H Key Lails: Has shown “very consistent” form on AW/turf in the last 12 months, including three wins and a recent C&D victory in July. She ran creditably over 7f on her latest start and is considered a “solid chance”.
  • Kracking: This horse “registered his most recent success off this mark over C&D in April” and placed at Yarmouth last Sunday. He is considered “interesting back here”. The Spotlight Verdict, however, primarily recommends the “interesting 3yos Lunanova, Towerlands and Dragonflame”.

4.22 Supported Loggings Handicap (7f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Shaw Park (6, 9-6, OR 71): Total TimeWise Rating of 269.
  • Revolutionise (9, 9-4, OR 69): Total TimeWise Rating of 265.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Shaw Park: This horse was “in good form in the spring when last seen.” Although having “something to prove when fresh,” its “Brighton record (421121422) augurs well”.
  • Revolutionise: At nine years old, Revolutionise is “still competitive,” as shown by recent second-place finishes at Brighton and Epsom. He was “successful in this race 12 months ago” and is “respected”. The Spotlight Verdict identifies Revolutionise as “last year’s one-two” and its “second choice” for the race. The top recommendation is Ezra Cee.

4.52 Mockingbird Handicap (5½f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Alshimali (4, 9-9h, OR 55): Total TimeWise Rating of 231.
  • Barnsnape Boy (4, 9-2p, OR 48): Total TimeWise Rating of 221.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Alshimali: This horse “won off the mark in C&D event this month” and subsequently placed at Windsor (6f). He is “still unexposed at about 5f” and “respected”. The Spotlight Verdict names Alshimali as its “second choice,” noting his “recent form features a C&D success”.
  • Barnsnape Boy: He “took well to first-time cheekpieces” in a Lingfield race (5f, good) this month, achieving his first win. There are “possibilities in the retained headgear”. The Spotlight Verdict also lists Barnsnape Boy as one of “others to consider”. The top recommendation is Upper Hand.
