1.35 Lingfield – Bespoke Law Services Handicap
Top Two TimeWise Rated Horses:
- Letsbeatsepsis (3yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 207
- Form (Race Card): P (pressed leaders). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (G & J Moore) has a 45% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 47 and an RP Rating of 63.
- Comments (Spotlight): Letsbeatsepsis is an 11-race maiden who has been a runner-up twice recently, once on turf over 1m2f and once at Epsom (1m2f, good). He tends to race freely and will need to settle as he steps up in trip on his return to AW. The Spotlight Verdict considers he has “solid claims if seeing out this trip”.
- Jack Langley (3yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 202
- Form (Race Card): M CD (midfield, course distance winner). His running style indicates he is usually held up. His Trainer (S Dow) has a 50% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 56 and an RP Rating of 67.
- Comments (Spotlight): Jack Langley won a classified event over C&D in June when wearing a first-time hood, but his form has been inconsistent since. He was not at his best in his last outing, finishing midfield at Kempton (1m3f) 15 days ago, and his hood has now been removed.
2.05 Lingfield – Carnegie Group Handicap
Top Two TimeWise Rated Horses:
- Motazzen (7yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 297
- Form (Race Card): P D (pressed leaders, course distance winner). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (Henrietta Knight) has a 67% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 69 and an RP Rating of 83.
- Comments (Spotlight): Motazzen achieved a hat-trick over hurdles around the turn of the year. He returned from a 228-day break to win a Southwell handicap (1m4f) at 50-1 17 days ago, showing determined form, and a 6lb rise in weight seems manageable. The extra furlong of this race is not expected to be an issue, placing him high on the list of contenders, with the Spotlight Verdict confirming there was “no fluke” to his recent win.
- Appier (6yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 249
- Form (Race Card): H C (held up, course winner). His running style indicates he is usually held up. His Trainer (S Woods) has a 77% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 75 and an RP Rating of 87.
- Comments (Spotlight): Appier’s ability is not in question, and he is now 6lb lower than when he secured a 1m4f win at this track last June. However, his tendency to stand still in the stalls means he carries “too much risk to support with confidence”.

- TimeWise Total Rating: 257
- Form (Race Card): P D CD (pressed leaders, course winner, course distance winner). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (J Butler) has a 67% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 67 and an RP Rating of 83.
- Comments (Spotlight): Solanna has achieved multiple AW wins, including over this C&D, and has consistently delivered “good efforts in 2025”. While he is expected to perform well, the comments suggest he “might find one or two better treated”. The Spotlight Verdict describes Solanna as “reliable”.
- Fihrayn (4yo)

- Form (Race Card): P D (pressed leaders, course distance winner). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (J Boyle) has a 69% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 59 and an RP Rating of 83.
- Comments (Spotlight): Fihrayn secured his first win at the 21st attempt in an amateurs’ race at Chelmsford 13 days ago, seeing off rivals readily. He is up 3lb but is considered to be “at the top of his game”. The Spotlight Verdict indicates that Fihrayn “wasn’t winning out of turn at Chelmsford and he can go well again”.
3.05 Lingfield – Brown & Brown Restricted Maiden Stakes (Div I)
Top Two TimeWise Rated Horses:
- Quiescent (2yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 270
- Form (Race Card): P (pressed leaders). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (H Al Jehani) has a 50% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 65 and an RP Rating of 80.
- Comments (Spotlight): (Note: Quiescent is listed as a NON-RUNNER in the race card, but the TimeWise rating is provided.) Quiescent showed “clear promise” when finishing second in a good maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on her debut. Despite struggling in her next outing at Goodwood, this race offers a “calmer waters” scenario, and she has “leading claims if back to the debut form”.
- Whats The Plan (2yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 265
- Form (Race Card): M h1 (held up, first-time hood). His running style indicates he is usually held up. His Trainer (J Fanshawe) has a 100% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 77 and an RP Rating of 79.
- Comments (Spotlight): Whats The Plan had a promising debut, finishing second in a useful Leicester maiden (7f, good to firm) in June. He did not progress as expected in his second start at Haydock, where he “raced freely”. The addition of a new hood is expected to help him settle, and he is “open to further progress” with “strong claims” based on his debut form. The Spotlight Verdict highlights his debut effort as a “solid formline” and believes the hood could aid him.
3.35 Lingfield – Brown & Brown Restricted Maiden Stakes (Div II)
Top Two TimeWise Rated Horses:
- Loblolly (2yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 253
- Form (Race Card): L (led). His running style indicates he typically leads. His Trainer (S Woods) has a 77% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 85 and an RP Rating of 88.
- Comments (Spotlight): Loblolly has shown improvement on his last two starts when racing over 1m on AW, where he put pressure on a well-regarded filly at Chelmsford and achieved a good second in his nursery debut two weeks ago. He is considered a “major player” returning to 7f, with the Spotlight Verdict suggesting he “has run to a useful level in both his AW starts and this could be his day”.
- Zabeel Flower (2yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 247
- Form (Race Card): P BF (pressed leaders, beaten favourite). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (R Hughes) has a 61% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 102 and an RP Rating of 102.
- Comments (Spotlight): Zabeel Flower provided a strong challenge to the favourite in a 7f fillies’ maiden on turf here last month, with her inexperience hindering her in the final furlong. She finished “left trailing by the easy winner at Chepstow yesterday” but it was “still a fair effort”. If turned out quickly, she holds a “good form chance”. The Spotlight Verdict notes that she “was beaten at odds-on at Chepstow yesterday but she would hold leading form claims if turned out again”.

- Comments (Spotlight): Angels’ Share has improved with each of her first three runs and made a “big step forward” by making all to win a maiden over C&D eight days ago. She is due to be raised by 17lb in future, making her 11lb well in under a penalty, and holds “major claims”. The Spotlight Verdict highlights her improved effort and favorable weight situation.
- Mare Of London (2yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 237
- Form (Race Card): H p (held up, cheekpieces). Her running style indicates she is usually held up. Her Trainer (G Scott) has a 58% form record over the last 14 days. She has a Topspeed rating of 63 and an RP Rating of 69.
- Comments (Spotlight): Mare Of London finished second in a seller at Leicester (6f, good to firm) and later fifth in a handicap at Nottingham (6f, good), where she “didn’t get the best of passages in first-time blinkers”. She returns to AW and steps up to 7f (her dam was a 7f AW winner) with a headgear switch.
4.35 Lingfield – Gatwick Diamond Business Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes
Top Two TimeWise Rated Horses:

- Comments (Spotlight): Spacewoman was beaten by only a head on her debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm). However, she “failed to match that form” when third of ten at Bath (5.5f, good to firm), having been “unruly beforehand”. She now switches to AW and “has to be respected”. The Spotlight Verdict identifies her as the “second choice” but notes her problematic behaviour at Bath.
- Portacloy (2yo)

- Form (Race Card): P BF (pressed leaders, beaten favourite). Her running style indicates she typically presses leaders. Her Trainer (D & C Kubler) has a 63% form record over the last 14 days. She has a Topspeed rating of 76 and an RP Rating of 80.
- Comments (Spotlight): Portacloy made a “pleasing debut” by finishing fourth of 11 at Windsor and was beaten a “similar distance (around 3l)” when third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good). She wore a hood in both starts but will not wear one today. She “holds claims”. The Spotlight Verdict ranks Portacloy as “third on the list”.

- Comments (Spotlight): Saxonia finished second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) and then won by a nose at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) 17 days ago, with first-time cheekpieces. She is considered a “likely player” returning to AW following a 1lb rise in weight. The Spotlight Verdict lists “Saxonia and Lord Montague are also contenders”.

- Comments (Spotlight): Sweet Sonata has a record of 1235 since wearing blinkers, including a win at Goodwood (6f, good). She ran “respectably” at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in her most recent outing and “holds claims”. The Spotlight Verdict identifies her as the “second choice” because she has “mostly been running well since the blinkers were applied”.
- Francis Drake (3yo)
- TimeWise Total Rating: 248
- Form (Race Card): P D t (pressed leaders, course distance winner, tongue-tie). His running style indicates he typically presses leaders. His Trainer (G Boughey) has a 31% form record over the last 14 days. He has a Topspeed rating of 71 and an RP Rating of 80.
- Comments (Spotlight): Francis Drake “found 5f too sharp” on his yard debut but then got off the mark at Kempton (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Despite being up 5lb, the runner-up from that race has since won, and he has “plenty to recommend him”. The Spotlight Verdict names him as the “nap” (best bet) and expects him to “follow up” his Kempton win.
