Sat 13th Sep 2025 3.28 Bath – Abbie Moon Is 18 Today Handicap

(Class 6, 2m1f, Heavy, 3yo+, Win: £3454)

Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. 7 Rupert The Prince (IRE) (Total: 237)
2. 5 Star Of Jupiter (IRE) (Total: 232)

Analysis of Winning Chances:

• 7 Rupert The Prince (IRE):
  • This is an improving 3yo who secured a clearcut course win over 1m6f on soft ground ten days prior, making him 2-3 since being fitted with a visor.
  • Despite carrying 7lb more today, he “could easily have more to offer over this longer trip”.
  • However, the spotlight verdict suggests he “seemed to enjoy the run of the race on that latest outing and, now 7lb higher, he might be worth opposing”.
• 5 Star Of Jupiter (IRE):
  • This 4yo has shown “Four good runs in today’s headgear combination since upped to 2m in July”.
  • Most recently, he was “first past the post (demoted to second)” at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last month.
  • His main question mark is being “untested on ground slower than good to soft,” but he “can make his presence felt if he handles today’s conditions”.

Sat 13th Sep 2025 4.05 Bath – Andersons Drainage Solutions Supporting Bath Racecourse Nursery

(Class 5, 5f, Heavy, 2yo, Win: £4187)

Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. 2 Calafiori (Total: 279)
2. 1 Cloudbuster (Total: 273)

Analysis of Winning Chances:

• 2 Calafiori:
  • After being an “expensive to follow” horse, “first-time cheekpieces did the trick when a clearcut winner at Brighton” (extended 5f, good).
  • Although now 5lb higher than his previous two handicaps, this rise is “erased by Jack Callan’s claim”.
  • Similar to Star Of Jupiter in the previous race, “soft ground will be a first” for Calafiori.
  • The spotlight verdict highlights him as the selection, noting he “was in first-time blinkers when winning easily at Brighton and he could kick on from there”.
• 1 Cloudbuster:
  • “Soft ground will be a first” for this filly.
  • However, she “was well on top in a 6f maiden at Chepstow a month ago (good) and that was her best form yet”.
  • She “doesn’t look handicapped out of contention off this mark, especially with Elizabeth Gale taking off 5lb”.
  • The spotlight verdict places her as the “second choice” in this “trappy nursery”.

  • The spotlight verdict suggests “MINTANA is worth chancing after a break,” though it acknowledges her previous good fresh runs were “not after such a long layoff”.

• 2 Prince Quattro (IRE):
  • He is a “Four-time hurdle winner”.
  • However, his Flat performances have been underwhelming, with “neither Flat run suggests he is the answer today”.

  • He is “Improving with experience and his Pontefract second (1m, good) in July is comfortably the best piece of form on offer”.
  • While “not quite so good upped to 1m2f (heavy) at Goodwood 11 days ago,” “even that form reads well in the context of this race”.

  • She is a “leading contender if she copes with the slower ground here”.
  • The spotlight verdict gives her the “nod,” though her “ability to handle slow ground must be taken on trust”.

  • She was “Not disgraced on her debut in July and looked unlucky not to finish closer than fourth at Chepstow (6f, good) a fortnight later, having been denied a clear run”.
  • She “can feature if suited by the new trip here”.
  • The spotlight verdict suggests she “may also feature”.
