  • Running style: Midfield (M).
  • Trainer: W Haggas, with 73% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: This horse is a 340,000gns yearling and the second foal from a 7f/1m4f Group 3 winner. He performed well to finish closely on his debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month, despite losing ground due to an awkward start. The extra furlong today is expected to suit him very well, making him a horse to consider. The spotlight verdict regards him as the “second choice,” noting his good recovery from a slow start and suitability for the longer trip.
• Secret History (IRE) (2yo, 9-2, Kieran Shoemark, 7-2)
  • Running style: Held up (H).
  • Trainer: E Walker, with 63% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: She is out of a half-sister to the 1,000 Guineas winner Legatissimo. She finished a promising second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month, though no match for the clear winner. She holds two Group 1 entries, indicating high regard, and should be taken seriously. The spotlight verdict selects her as the top choice, praising her pleasing debut and ambitious entries.

  • Running style: Presses leaders (P).
  • Trainer: J Candlish, with 55% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: He has had an excellent season, securing five handicap wins, and put in another strong performance when finishing fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago. The intermediate trip for this race is expected to suit him, and he is versatile regarding the going. He is likely to run well, though some others might be better handicapped.
• Air Force One (IRE) (4yo, 9-0, P J McDonald, 7-2)
  • Running style: Held up (H).
  • Trainer: G Oldroyd, with 0% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: He won a 5f race here in July off a 9lb lower mark. He finished ahead of several rivals when third over this course and distance at the Ebor meeting 18 days ago, despite not getting a clear run and finishing strongly. Although facing another 3lb weight increase, his full potential might not yet be reached. The spotlight verdict identifies him as the top choice, noting his unsmooth run last time and unestablished ceiling of ability.

3. 3.30 Skybet Proud To Support RoR Stayers Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Artisan Dancer (FR) leads this race with a “Timewise Master Rating” of 326, followed by Fireblade with a Total of 304.

  • Running style: Presses leaders (P).
  • Trainer: Charlie Johnston, with 69% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: This horse has been commendably consistent. He finished third at the Shergar Cup, where Fireblade gained the first run. Subsequently, he was beaten only by a sharp improver over this course and distance at the Ebor meeting. He has since delivered another solid performance in defeat at Southwell, giving him every chance in this race. The spotlight verdict highlights his sustained form and strong chances.
• Fireblade (4yo, 9-11, David Egan, 6-1)
  • Running style: Midfield (M).
  • Trainer: D Cunha, with 75% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: After being winless in six starts for the Gosdens, he has won two of his seven starts since moving yards, including his latest win at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm). He took the initiative from a steady pace in that race, which may have flattered him slightly. He was well beaten off a 5lb higher mark here last month.

4. 4.00 Sky Bet Extra Places Middle Distance Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Danger Bay (IRE) is the top-ranked horse in this event with a “Timewise Master Rating” of 329, with Per Contra (IRE) second at 321.

• Danger Bay (IRE) (3yo, 9-9, Callum Rodriguez, 9-4)
  • Running style: Presses leaders (P).
  • Trainer: E Bethell, with 33% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: This Cambridgeshire entrant is aiming for a hat-trick after consecutive 1m1f wins at Hamilton, where he defeated a reliable yardstick on his handicap debut (good). He is expected to handle a 5lb weight increase, and the longer distance today is likely to suit him, given his dam’s staying ability. The spotlight verdict names him as the “nap” (best bet), citing his Cambridgeshire entry and potential to maintain his winning streak.
• Per Contra (IRE) (4yo, 9-5, David Allan, 6-1)
  • Running style: Presses leaders (P).
  • Trainer: T Easterby, with 58% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.

He is considered a solid candidate.

5. 4.30 Sky Bet Starman Garrowby Stakes (Listed)
For this race, Lethal Levi holds the highest “Timewise Master Rating” of 399, and Elmonjed (IRE) is ranked second with a Total of 379.

• Lethal Levi (6yo, 9-7, Clifford Lee, 6-1)
  • Running style: Led (L).
  • Trainer: K Burke, with 56% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: He came very close to winning a Group 2 race at the Curragh (6f, good) in May. Last month, he comfortably led all the way to win a Listed race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm), with Elmonjed finishing second. Despite carrying a 3lb penalty, he has strong claims at this track, where he has demonstrated robust form. The spotlight verdict describes him as “highly admirable” and “a tough nut to crack,” backing him to defy the penalty.
• Elmonjed (IRE) (4yo, 9-4, Cieren Fallon, 9-1)
  • Running style: Held up (H).
  • Trainer: W Haggas, with 73% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: He won a large-field handicap over this course and distance (good) in July. He was also a Listed runner-up to Lethal Levi at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) recently. Although he has ground to make up on the winner despite a 3lb swing, his performance can be upgraded as he ducked right at the start and was slow away last time. He should not be ruled out.

6. 5.00 Sky Bet Build A Bet Fillies Handicap
The “Timewise Master Rating” for this race places Seren Star (IRE) at the top with a Total of 336, followed by Revelance with a Total of 322.

• Seren Star (IRE) (3yo, 9-6, Cieren Fallon, 4-1)
  • Running style: Led (L).
  • Trainer: W Haggas, with 73% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: She made all to win a Chepstow maiden (1m, good) and followed up with a successful handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm), where she overtook the front two. A 4lb weight rise is not considered prohibitive, and she is under expert guidance to continue her progression. The spotlight verdict selects her as the top choice, anticipating her as another progressive handicapper from the Haggas yard, with a pedigree that suggests further improvement.
• Revelance (3yo, 9-6, Hector Crouch, 5-2)
  • Running style: Led (L).
  • Trainer: R Beckett, with 60% of runners running to form in the last 14 days.
  • Details: She had only three rivals at Epsom (1m, good to soft) but made a successful handicap debut by defeating a hat-trick seeking horse, winning quite easily at odds-on. Despite a 6lb weight increase, her potential is difficult to gauge. The spotlight verdict describes her as another unexposed filly on a roll.
