1. 1.22 Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB Race)
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Ribenska (IRE): Total 253
- Lost In Wonder: Total 180
- Assessment of Chances:
- Ribenska (IRE) is considered the clear standard-setter. She recorded two second-place finishes last month at Kempton (7f) and Lingfield (1m), with her latest conqueror having since performed well off a BHA mark of 84. The Spotlight Verdict states, “This should be a breeze for RIBENSKA”.
- Lost In Wonder finished well behind Ribenska on her debut at Lingfield and is not expected to reverse those placings.
2. 1.52 Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Regal Charm (IRE): Total 280
- Aphrodite Spirit: Total 252
- Assessment of Chances:
- Regal Charm (IRE) returned from a long break to win at Newmarket (1m) last month. Despite facing a penalty, she is well-related and is expected to progress further with the step up to 1m2f, making her respected.
- Aphrodite Spirit made a promising debut and then achieved a rallying second at Chepstow (1m). She “just about sets the standard” on that form and is “respected” with the increased trip.
- The Spotlight Verdict, however, ultimately gives the vote to Shumus, indicating that while these two are strong contenders, there might be others with an even stronger profile.
3. 2.22 Free Bets On attheraces.com Fillies’ Handicap
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Saliko: Total 266
- Aiming High: Total 259
- Assessment of Chances:
- Saliko won two consecutive races at Nottingham (1m2f) in July and showed continued progress with a close fourth over the same course and distance last Saturday in her hat-trick attempt. As a 3-year-old, she has “scope for further progress” and is considered a “key player”. The Spotlight Verdict identifies her as the primary selection.
- Aiming High, a triple AW winner, is only 1lb higher than her last win at Wolverhampton. Despite a remote third at Salisbury in a tougher race, she is back on Polytrack and in a lower grade, making her an “interesting” and “main threat”.
4. 2.52 Tips For Every Race At raceday-ready.com Handicap
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Recon Mission (IRE): Total 226
- Darkened Edge: Total 226 (tied with Recon Mission)
- Assessment of Chances:
- Recon Mission (IRE) showed an “encouraging run” at Bath five days prior and has a good record at Lingfield (two wins, five seconds, one third from 18 AW runs). He is only 2lb higher than his last win here, but his widest draw is a concern. He is the Spotlight Verdict’s second preference.
- Darkened Edge has the ability to be competitive at this level, having won a 5f race on good to firm ground. However, she also has a wide draw (stall 7) and limited AW experience. She is listed as “also in the mix” by the Spotlight Verdict. The Spotlight Verdict’s primary choice is Agostino.
5. 3.22 Get Raceday Ready Handicap
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Harryella: Total 270
- Suzuka: Total 231
- Assessment of Chances:
- Harryella is a “generally progressive gelding” who achieved his second handicap win over the course and distance 13 days ago in emphatic style. Despite an 8lb rise, he “still looks feasibly treated” and is identified as a “major player” and the “nap” (best bet) by the Spotlight Verdict.
- Suzuka, a well-bred filly, is still a maiden but ran respectably at Chelmsford last month despite pulling hard. She “still has potential for powerful yard” and “has possibilities if she can settle better”. She is considered one of “others who could get involved”.
6. 3.58 Download The Racecourse App Raceday Ready Handicap
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- B Associates (IRE): Total 290
- Kranjcar (IRE): Total 242
- Assessment of Chances:
- B Associates (IRE) achieved a good second at Brighton (6f) last month in first-time visor. However, nine of his ten wins have been on turf, and his AW record (1-12) is a concern.
- Kranjcar (IRE) was a recent winner at Brighton and is considered “feared most” by the Spotlight Verdict, suggesting he could “rediscover his spark” back up in trip off a workable mark. The Spotlight Verdict’s primary choice is Zaltalla.
7. 4.28 Get The Inside Track With raceday-ready.com Handicap (Div 1)
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Big Bard: Total 245
- Bluebells Boy: Total 220
- Assessment of Chances:
- Big Bard is a course and distance winner who “justified favouritism in good style” on turf last month. Despite a 5lb rise, he remains “feasibly treated” and is “strongly respected” back on AW. He is the “Top of the list” selection in the Spotlight Verdict.
- Bluebells Boy won this race last year and four times overall last autumn. He wasn’t beaten far recently and is 3lb lower than his last win, making him “dangerous” back on Polytrack and “feared most” by the Spotlight Verdict.

- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Simply Blue: Total 232
- Please note: The provided TimeWise ratings for this specific race are incomplete, and only Simply Blue’s rating is explicitly listed in source. Therefore, the second TimeWise top-rated horse cannot be definitively identified from the available data.
- Assessment of Chances (for Simply Blue and the Spotlight’s top pick):
- Simply Blue is a 12-race maiden who finished close up in two handicaps in July but has performed “laboured” in her last two starts. She is untried on AW, and “others are more convincing”.
- The Spotlight Verdict’s “Top of the list” for this race is Phoenix Moon, who has a strong record in course and distance handicaps (13132) and put in a good effort when second behind an improver recently. She is considered a “big player”.
9. 5.29 Sky Sports Racing Virgin 519 Handicap
- TimeWise Top Two Rated:
- Royal Jet: Total 231
- Prefer The Sister (IRE): Total 215
- Assessment of Chances:
- Royal Jet finished runner-up over course and distance last month and followed up with a “strong-finishing third” over 7f, described as “eyecatching after a slow start”. He is considered a “big player” back up in trip and is the top selection in the Spotlight Verdict.
- Prefer The Sister (IRE) has an inconsistent record but performed well when second at Kempton (1m, AW) on her penultimate run. She “has claims if she can recapture that form” and could be a “big factor”.
