5.30 Join The Southwell Golf Club Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

  • Rapper’s Delight
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st with a total score of 253.
    • Odds: 11-10.
    • Assessment: Rapper’s Delight brings the best form chance to this race, having placed twice over 6f at Kempton. Although he has been off since early May, he appears quick enough for the 5f trip. The spotlight notes his strong form but ultimately prefers Right And Exact.
  • Right And Exact
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd with a total score of 252.
    • Odds: 2-1.
    • Assessment: Right And Exact is a Catterick winner who held his own under a penalty when finishing second to two previous winners at Ripon (5f, good). Despite carrying another penalty, he is “sure to be involved”. The spotlight identifies him as the preferred choice in this race.

6.00 Sky Sports Racing Virgin 519 Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

  • Prince Quattro
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st with a total score of 283.
    • Odds: 20-1.
    • Assessment: Prince Quattro has achieved minor hurdle wins, but his Flat debut performance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm), where he finished 13th, “will need bettering”. He faces “interesting 3yos” and will need significant improvement to contend.
  • Codiak
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd with a total score of 258.
    • Odds: 7-1.
    • Assessment: Codiak has shown consistent form in two middle-distance novice events on turf, securing second place (well clear of the third) at Hamilton last month (1m3f, good). With cheekpieces replacing blinkers, he is considered “not discounted”. The spotlight notes his promise.

  • Son Of Wind
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st (tied) with a total score of 279.
    • Odds: 5-1.
    • Assessment: Son Of Wind was heavily penalised by the handicapper after an easy front-running win last August. Despite not performing as well in 2025, he is dropping in class for this race and benefits from a 7lb claim from Owen Lewis. He is considered “one to consider” and is mentioned as dropping in class by the spotlight.
  • Tanjen
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd (tied) with a total score of 279.
    • Odds: 4-1.
    • Assessment: Tanjen showed improvement on turf before achieving an easy win on her AW debut at Newcastle (5f) last month. While held off this mark on turf since, it’s “not inconceivable that she’ll kick on again back on Tapeta”. She is viewed as “one to take seriously” and may benefit from returning to the Tapeta surface.

  • Crown’s Lady
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st (tied) with a total score of 282.
    • Odds: 9-2.
    • Assessment: Crown’s Lady improved her form by winning a 7f Haydock handicap 25 days ago. Despite a 4lb rise, she is a course winner and “must enter calculations once more”.
  • La Scanderbeide
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd (tied) with a total score of 282.
    • Odds: 9-1.
    • Assessment: La Scanderbeide had a winning start in a 1m Yarmouth maiden and followed with a “very good fourth in 1m2f novice at Newmarket”. She looks capable of further improvement now entering handicaps and is highlighted as a handicap debutante to consider.

7.30 Golf And Gallop Handicap

  • Al Rufaa
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st (tied) with a total score of 286.
    • Odds: 10-1.
    • Assessment: Al Rufaa achieved his best form of 2025 when narrowly beaten at Brighton (1m) last month. Despite a subsequent lesser run on Newcastle AW, he is back down in grade and remains well treated on past C&D form. He is considered “thereabouts”.
  • A Major Payne
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd (tied) with a total score of 286.
    • Odds: 9-2.
    • Assessment: A Major Payne is “not yet off the mark but his turn is surely near,” with several close calls over 1m on AW and turf. His first-time cheekpieces on Tapeta debut will be “interesting”. He is noted as having a part to play.

8.00 At The Races App Expert Tips Handicap

  • Al Barez
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st (tied) with a total score of 290.
    • Odds: 100-30.
    • Assessment: Al Barez is a five-time winner, including over C&D. His mark has fallen after three modest turf efforts, and the return to AW is expected to help. With his stable in “top gear,” he is an “interesting” prospect in this 0-80 grade. The spotlight selects him as the top choice, noting his ability to bounce back with the grade drop and his yard’s form.
  • Grant Wood
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd (tied) with a total score of 290.
    • Odds: 7-1.
    • Assessment: Grant Wood boasts a useful record in AW handicaps, including a 7f win here in January 2024. While his turf form this summer has been below par, this race represents a drop in grade, and a revival is not out of the question. He is highlighted as a horse with something to recommend him.

8.30 Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap

  • Coedana
    • TimeWise Rank: 1st (tied) with a total score of 293.
    • Odds: 4-1.
    • Assessment: Coedana has shown promise with three placed runs, including a third in a 1m4f Thirsk maiden in June. She may improve further on her handicap debut after a break and “needs considering”. She is also mentioned as a handicap debutante by the spotlight.
  • Phrygia
    • TimeWise Rank: 2nd (tied) with a total score of 293.
    • Odds: 4-1.
    • Assessment: Phrygia secured her first win in a 1m4f Kempton handicap in June and then posted a solid third of seven in similar company at Yarmouth (11.5f) 18 days ago. She is “in the mix eased 1lb here” and is considered an in-form horse.
