4.25 Unibet/Breeders Backing Racing EBF Novice Stakes (Class 4)

• Top Two Master Rated Horses (TimeWise):
  1. Criminal (266)
  2. Port Of London (253)
• Criminal (3yo)
  • Recent Form & Comments: Criminal is a four-race maiden but has been proving consistent on AW and turf. Most recently, he ran well when upped to 1m4f in an Ascot handicap, finishing behind only a progressive rival who was on the second leg of a four-timer. His running style is to press leaders.
  • Chances in Today’s Race:
    • Strengths: He has very solid claims given his consistent performance and recent strong showing at this trip.
    • Weaknesses: Despite his consistency, he is still a maiden.
    • Suitability: Highly suitable for today’s race, demonstrating good form on AW and performing well over this longer distance. The “Spotlight Verdict” narrowly prefers him.
• Port Of London (3yo)
  • Recent Form & Comments: He was beaten a long way on his debut in a soft-ground event. However, he fared markedly better when switched to AW at Southwell (1m3f), finishing second behind a stablemate. His running style is to press leaders.
  • Chances in Today’s Race:
    • Strengths: Showed significant improvement on AW, and further progress is plausible. His trainer, J & T Gosden, has an 89% run-to-form rate in the last 14 days.
    • Weaknesses: His debut on turf was very poor.
    • Suitability: He is considered a strong second choice with good potential for improvement on AW.

4.55 Racing TV Fillies’ Novice Stakes (Class 5)

• Top Two Master Rated Horses (TimeWise):
  1. Flash Of Fire (332)
  2. Dancing Flower (294)
• Flash Of Fire (2yo)
  • Recent Form & Comments: Flash Of Fire justified favouritism in a 7f contest at Doncaster, getting on top towards the line. She holds two Group entries, indicating she is evidently well regarded. She is a half-sister to two AW winners and presses leaders.
  • Chances in Today’s Race:
    • Strengths: Her Group entries suggest she is capable of further progress. She has already demonstrated a winning attitude. Her trainer, J Ferguson, has a 62% run-to-form rate.
    • Weaknesses: She carries a penalty for her previous win.
    • Suitability: She is expected to find the progress required to defy her penalty and is the preferred choice according to the “Spotlight Verdict”.
• Dancing Flower (2yo)
  • Recent Form & Comments: This Godolphin filly showed some promise by finishing third, beaten 6l, in a 7f maiden at the Newmarket July festival. This form has since received a few boosts. Her running style is to be held up.
  • Chances in Today’s Race:
    • Strengths: Her promising debut form has been confirmed by subsequent runners, and improvement is on the cards. Her trainer, C Appleby, has a 75% run-to-form rate.
    • Weaknesses: She is still a maiden.
    • Suitability: An interesting contender with strong potential for improvement.

    • Suitability: Considered a particularly solid player on form, with this longer trip likely to suit her.
• Flying Macs (2yo)
  • Recent Form & Comments: This four-race maiden ran well in a 7f AW nursery at Lingfield on her debut for her new yard recently. Her running style is usually mid-field.
  • Chances in Today’s Race:

    • Weaknesses: Still a maiden after four runs.
    • Suitability: She is tied in with Barry The Worm on their Lingfield running and may be capable of better.

  1. Toralou (278)
  2. Dragonflame (258)

    • Strengths: She may do better still and has solid claims. Her trainer, D M Loughnane, has a 44% run-to-form rate.

    • Strengths: She is open to further progress and has similar claims to Rock Iguana. Her trainer, S C Williams, has a 41% run-to-form rate.

    • Suitability: Needs to prove he can perform off this mark on Polytrack, making him a risky choice.
• Campaign Trail (5yo)
  • Recent Form & Comments: His last two wins have come in the autumn, including back from a layoff on his hurdling debut last November. His running style is to press leaders.
  • Chances in Today’s Race:
    • Strengths: The four-month break is not a negative factor. Rossa Ryan, his jockey, knows him well.

  2. Little Miss India (235)

    • Strengths: She holds claims if settling from a wide stall. Her trainer, J Owen, has a 55% run-to-form rate.
