2.20 Bath Holiday Rentals Handicap

• 1st TimeWise Rated: 3 Tara Iti (TimeWise Total: 264)
  • Form Details: This seven-year-old typically runs as a ‘Held up’ (H) horse. He last raced 61 days ago, but also had a run 38 days ago, indicated by (38J). His trainer, J Owen, has a 56% win-rate (W-R) in the last 14 days, and a 5-43 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 48, and his Racing Post (RP) Rating is 64. His Official Rating (OR) is 53.
  • Comments Assessment: Tara Iti has been very active for trainer James Owen since March, including four wins over hurdles. While his Flat form during this period was mixed, his best Flat effort was a second-place finish over this course and distance (C&D) in June, which suggests he has a good chance. He is running without headgear, which is unusual for him these days. The spotlight predicts he will likely attract significant interest.
• 2nd TimeWise Rated: 1 Sydney Seabreeze (TimeWise Total: 211)
  • Form Details: This four-year-old typically runs as a ‘Midfield’ (M) horse. He last raced 13 days ago. His trainer, S Woods, has a strong 77% W-R in the last 14 days and a 1-13 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 50, and his RP Rating is 63. His OR is 55.
  • Comments Assessment: Sydney Seabreeze has recently achieved two second-place finishes on the All-Weather (AW) and a back-to-form fourth in that sphere. However, his performance on turf has been less impressive, with him finishing towards the rear in both of his turf starts on good ground, including being tailed off in a 1m6f handicap in June. A hood, which has been absent this year, is now returning.

2.50 EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes

• 1st TimeWise Rated: 6 Son Of Sarabi (TimeWise Total: 245)
  • Form Details: This two-year-old typically ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). He last raced 33 days ago. His trainer, J Portman, has an impressive 79% W-R in the last 14 days and a 2-17 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 67, and his RP Rating is 83. His OR is 76.
  • Comments Assessment: Son Of Sarabi nearly won the Brocklesby (5f, good to soft) on his debut and performed well to finish second in his nursery debut at York in July (6f, good to firm) after a gelding operation. Although his last two starts were not as strong, this race is significantly weaker, making him a top contender. The spotlight suggests his best form would make him very hard to beat.
• 2nd TimeWise Rated: 8 U S S Charleston (TimeWise Total: 223)
  • Form Details: This two-year-old usually ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). He last raced 21 days ago. His trainer, L De Souza, has a 57% W-R in the last 14 days and a 1-8 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 57, and his RP Rating is 80. His OR is 71.
  • Comments Assessment: U S S Charleston showed encouraging form in his first three runs, including on good to soft, but took a step backwards at Beverley three weeks ago (5f, good to firm). Cheekpieces are now being added, and he retains each-way claims. The spotlight notes he has claims if performing at his best, but his previous poor run and the addition of headgear are factors to consider.

3.20 BetWright Bet The Wright Way Handicap

• 1st TimeWise Rated: 2 Silky Robin (TimeWise Total: 247)
  • Form Details: This four-year-old typically ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). He last raced 74 days ago. His trainer, D B Toomey, has a 14% W-R in the last 14 days and a 0-8 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 70, and his RP Rating is 70. His OR is 61.
  • Comments Assessment: Silky Robin took a long time to win his first race, but his form significantly improved once blinkers were applied in April, leading to three wins in his last five starts. These victories were on fast ground, and the spotlight indicates he is unlikely to encounter similar conditions now, returning after 74 days off. His suitability for the current ground conditions is questionable.
• 2nd TimeWise Rated: 10 All Too Beautiful (TimeWise Total: 236)
  • Form Details: This three-year-old typically ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). She last raced 16 days ago. Her trainer, R Teal, has a 44% W-R in the last 14 days and a 2-16 record on Good going. Her Topspeed rating is 70, and her RP Rating is 71. His OR is 55.
  • Comments Assessment: All Too Beautiful achieved her first win on her eighth attempt, narrowly taking a 6f handicap at Windsor 16 days ago (good to firm). A 2lb weight increase is not considered excessive, and she had previously shown promise on heavy ground during her debut. She is expected to perform well again and is coming off a breakthrough win.

3.50 BetWright Safer Gambling Handicap

• Joint 1st TimeWise Rated: 2 Secret Handsheikh (TimeWise Total: 235)
  • Form Details: This seven-year-old typically runs ‘Held up’ (H). He last raced 5 days ago. His trainer, J Gallagher, has a 33% W-R in the last 14 days and a 0-6 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 64, and his RP Rating is 74. His OR is 62.
  • Comments Assessment: Secret Handsheikh was a narrow winner of a 5.7f handicap at this track last month. He then finished a fair third in a stronger race at Sandown on Friday, and rain will not negatively affect him. He is in good form and is anticipated to perform well regardless of the rain.
• Joint 1st TimeWise Rated: 4 Some Nightmare (TimeWise Total: 235)
  • Form Details: This eight-year-old usually ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). He last raced just 1 day ago. His trainer, John O’Shea, has a 60% W-R in the last 14 days and a 1-7 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 73, and his RP Rating is 73. His OR is 59+1, indicating a 1lb penalty.
  • Comments Assessment: Some Nightmare has two 5f wins at Chepstow this season, with his most recent win being decisive nine days ago. However, his performance was lacklustre on Tuesday at Chepstow, where he was under pressure early and found little. He now has something to prove.

4.20 British EBF Fillies’ Handicap

• 1st TimeWise Rated: 3 Perfect Your Craft (TimeWise Total: 319)
  • Form Details: This three-year-old typically ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). She last raced 42 days ago. Her trainer, R Beckett, has a 63% W-R in the last 14 days and a 7-39 record on Good going. Her Topspeed rating is 90, and her RP Rating is 90. Her OR is 87.
  • Comments Assessment: Perfect Your Craft has been the favourite in all three of her starts. She won a novice event at Salisbury (1m, heavy) last October and a five-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) six weeks ago. Despite a 5lb weight increase, she is lightly raced and is expected to show further improvement, especially over this longer distance. The spotlight considers her a strong contender, particularly with the step up in trip.
• 2nd TimeWise Rated: 5 Orionis (TimeWise Total: 314)
  • Form Details: This three-year-old typically ‘Pressed leaders’ (P). She last raced 20 days ago. Her trainer, W Haggas, has a 71% W-R in the last 14 days and an 11-44 record on Good going. Her Topspeed rating is 93, and her RP Rating is 93. Her OR is 82.
  • Comments Assessment: Orionis won a maiden at Ripon and an 11.4f handicap at Windsor, both in small fields in June. She has performed well over 1m4f in her subsequent two starts, despite some wandering at Salisbury. She is unraced on ground softer than good but is a progressive three-year-old deserving of respect.

4.50 BetWright Bangers N’Cash Handicap

• 1st TimeWise Rated: 4 Virtual Hug (TimeWise Total: 216)
  • Form Details: This seven-year-old typically runs ‘Held up’ (H). He last raced 33 days ago. His trainer, Mrs N Evans, has a 50% W-R in the last 14 days and a 0-3 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 65, and his RP Rating is 65. His OR is 50.
  • Comments Assessment: Virtual Hug has achieved all three of his Flat wins on the AW and has an 0-18 record on Flat turf. He narrowly missed a win over this C&D (firm) in his penultimate start and finished second here on his latest outing, though he hung left, which was unhelpful. He is not proven on ground softer than good.
• 2nd TimeWise Rated: 2 Manila Mist (TimeWise Total: 209)
  • Form Details: This five-year-old typically ‘Led’ (L). She last raced 22 days ago. Her trainer, K Jewell, has a 0% W-R in the last 14 days and a 0-4 record on Good going. Her Topspeed rating is 60, and her RP Rating is 64. Her OR is 52.
  • Comments Assessment: Manila Mist secured her first win on her 15th start in a classified race at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leading all the way after a 322-day layoff and wind surgery. She also wore first-time cheekpieces. She is unraced on ground softer than good. Despite a 4lb weight increase, she had better form last spring and might have significantly improved with the wind surgery and headgear.

5.25 BetWright All Bun & Games Handicap

• 1st TimeWise Rated: 1 Ajrad (TimeWise Total: 303)
  • Form Details: This seven-year-old typically runs ‘Held up’ (H). He last raced 9 days ago. His trainer, B Millman, has a 72% W-R in the last 14 days and a 6-23 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 72, and his RP Rating is 73. His OR is 60+2, indicating a 2lb penalty.
  • Comments Assessment: Ajrad has been in excellent form recently, with two wins and a second-place finish, all at Chepstow (1m, good to firm/good) where he came from the rear. However, he was withdrawn from a race at Salisbury last Friday due to good to soft ground, which could be a problem here given the forecast. His recent form is outstanding, but the ground conditions are a concern.
• 2nd TimeWise Rated: 11 Too Much Trevor (TimeWise Total: 257)
  • Form Details: This four-year-old typically runs ‘Held up’ (H). He last raced 9 days ago. His trainer, G Harris, has a 64% W-R in the last 14 days and a 1-17 record on Good going. His Topspeed rating is 70, and his RP Rating is 71. His OR is 47.
  • Comments Assessment: Too Much Trevor performs well on good to soft ground. He is a long-standing maiden but has been competitive in several races at Chepstow this season, including his last two starts over 1m. He finished last in his only previous start at this track in April.
