2.10 Neu-Servo Bet On Great Repairs Handicap Chase (GBB Race) (2m4f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Jeudidee (6, 11-12 t, OR 108): Total TimeWise Rating of 285.
  • Just Chasing May (6, 11-7, OR 103): Total TimeWise Rating of 284.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Jeudidee: This six-year-old is a course novice hurdle winner on good to soft ground. She won over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in May and subsequently finished runner-up over the Course & Distance (C&D) (good). Notably, the first and third horses from that C&D race have both won since, indicating strong form. The Spotlight Verdict rates her as “feared most”.
  • Just Chasing May: This six-year-old secured her second hurdles win from 12 starts in “good style” at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June. She has also proven effective on soft and good to soft ground. Despite not being bred for fences, she is “in good hands” and is respected on her debut in this sphere.

2.40 Neu-Servo Rapid Response Handicap Chase (2m7f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Ivane (7, 11-10 p, OR 96): Total TimeWise Rating of 269.
  • Henry Box Brown (8, 11-2, OR 88): Total TimeWise Rating of 236.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Ivane: This seven-year-old was runner-up at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in April, her last chase start, being beaten by a horse that went on to win four times. She maintained good form over hurdles in the spring, including on good to soft ground. She is expected to handle the 2m7f trip and “could have more to offer now back over fences after a break”. The Spotlight Verdict gives her the vote, having been beaten by a “subsequently prolific” winner.
  • Henry Box Brown: An eight-year-old who won at Leicester (2m4f, soft) last December. He has also been runner-up over 2m4f at Worcester (good) on his last two outings, though without matching King Of The Story. He has “shaped as though this step back up in trip is worth a go” and is “one to consider”. The Spotlight Verdict considers him the “main danger” to Ivane.

3.10 Neu-Servo Neigh Bad Repairs Open National Hunt Flat Race (2m)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Axel Bleue (5, 11-9 t1): Total TimeWise Rating of 280.
  • Siouxfonic (4, 10-13): Total TimeWise Rating of 273.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Axel Bleue: Landed an Irish maiden point (good) in May and followed up with an eight-runner bumper win at Market Rasen (soft) eight weeks ago. Now with a first-time tongue-tie, giving weight away “seems to demand improvement,” but he was sent off as 5-4 favourite last time and “had to battle,” suggesting he remains a serious contender, especially with recent rain in the forecast. The Spotlight Verdict notes his positive impression but deems him “probably vulnerable” to Siouxfonic.
  • Siouxfonic: Finished with “no threat to his market rival at Tipperary” (good to yielding) two months ago but beat the other 14 runners. His form has “received multiple boosts” since, and he “probably has a huge shout on this British debut”. The Spotlight Verdict suggests his Tipperary second was a “most promising start” and he is the chief threat.

3.40 Neu-Servo Stable Service Maiden Hurdle (Div I) (2m)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Penzance (5, 11-4): Total TimeWise Rating of 260.
  • Dream Diamond (5, 11-4): Total TimeWise Rating of 245.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Penzance: A “very interesting hurdling newcomer” for last year’s winning trainer, having shown “very useful form” on the Flat on grass. He “will be a major player if transferring that ability to hurdles at the first attempt”.
  • Dream Diamond: Placed on all five of his hurdle starts for Michael Kennedy in Ireland (2m-2m5f, yielding/good). He has “leading claims if at the top of his game on first run for James Owen,” who is known for success with stable-switchers. The Spotlight Verdict states he “sets a solid standard on his Irish form”.

4.10 Neu-Servo Stable Service Maiden Hurdle (Div II) (2m)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Washpool (6, 11-4): Total TimeWise Rating of 258.
  • Drombeg Lad (5, 11-4): Total TimeWise Rating of 254.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Washpool: All of his starts have been on good ground, and this point runner-up has “improved with each of his four runs under rules,” culminating in a third-place finish over C&D last time. He is considered “high on the list this afternoon”. The Spotlight Verdict places him as the “chief threat” to Drombeg Lad.
  • Drombeg Lad: Went close behind Nana Noodleman in a bumper at Worcester (2m, good) in June on his second start. He subsequently finished second on his hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month, making him a “strong candidate”. The Spotlight Verdict tips him “to go one better” after his good second.

4.40 Neu-Servo Dioding To Race Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle (2m7f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Carlton (5, 11-12 p, OR 93): Total TimeWise Rating of 274.
  • Cinderello (5, 10-11, OR 78): Total TimeWise Rating of 238.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Carlton: Highly productive on AW Flat races from December-May, he also won a four-runner novice handicap hurdle at Southwell (2m, good) in June. He was runner-up in his last two Flat starts and is a stayer in that sphere, suggesting that “going beyond 2m for the first time as a hurdler could boost his prospects again”. The Spotlight Verdict states his Flat exploits provide him with “major interest”.
  • Cinderello: Was a 40-1 winner on her handicap debut at Uttoxeter (extended 2m7f, good) last month, in a 16-runner race where the “first two drew 7l clear”. Despite a 4lb rise, she is thought to have “more to offer as a stayer”. The Spotlight Verdict calls her the “most solid option” and notes she “launched a strong late challenge to win her handicap debut”.

5.10 Neu-Servo Best Repairs Hands Down Handicap Hurdle (2m4f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Aslukgoes (7, 11-10, OR 106): Total TimeWise Rating of 316.
  • Sharp Glance (5, 11-11, OR 107): Total TimeWise Rating of 282.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Aslukgoes: Won a Listed bumper in February 2023. After a long absence, he returned this season with a 19l second on his hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) in May, followed by a win in a 2m maiden hurdle here (good) last month. He “has potential off his opening mark” and is considered a “player” for his handicap debut.
  • Sharp Glance: Untested beyond 2m1f, her form dipped at Market Rasen last time. However, she was previously progressive, winning on her handicap debut at Bangor (2m, good) two starts ago. She “retains potential and no surprise if she bounces back”.

5.40 Neu-Servo Supports Larsen’s Pride Mares’ Handicap Hurdle (2m4f)

• TimeWise Top 2 Rated:
  • Last Note (5, 12-0 h, OR 100): Total TimeWise Rating of 252.
  • Quick Of The Night (8, 11-7, OR 93): Total TimeWise Rating of 226.
• Assessment of Chances:
  • Last Note: Finished second in her only bumper and again when blundering at the final flight in a maiden at Market Rasen (extended 2m5f, good) on her latest hurdle start. A hood was used then and is retained. She is “in serious calculations in this weak race for handicap debut” and is considered the “most lightly raced runner”.
  • Quick Of The Night: Won a 2m handicap at Worcester in July 2024 and July 2025, the latter following wind surgery. However, her “form was below form on latest start,” and she was “tailed off here on her only two appearances over about 2m4f,” which suggests this trip might be a concern for her.
