2.33 racingtv.com Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (5f)

1. Schrodinger’s Cat

• TimeWise Rating: 286
• Recent Form & Comments: This horse can lead. While proving expensive to follow as the beaten favourite on its last three outings, it has consistently run to a useful level in all its 5f starts on good and good to firm ground. It competed in cheekpieces last time, which are retained for this race. The horse doesn’t lack consistency or heart.
• Chances Assessment: Schrodinger’s Cat has strong form claims today, especially given its performance on good/good to firm ground at 5f. Despite being an expensive favourite, its consistency and the retained cheekpieces suggest it is a leading contender for the win.

2. Hares Bredth (USA)

• TimeWise Rating: 258
• Recent Form & Comments: Hares Bredth possesses a useful sprinting pedigree. However, he has gone off at triple-figure prices in both of his 6f starts and been beaten by approximately 10 lengths each time. He is now dropping to 5f.
• Chances Assessment: His recent form over 6f is uninspiring, and he has a significant amount to find. While the drop to 5f might suit his pedigree, he is likely to be moving into ordinary handicaps soon, indicating he may not be a win contender in this race.

1. Mossvale Diva (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 267
• Recent Form & Comments: This horse has been a model of consistency this year, achieving four consecutive second-place finishes before finally breaking her maiden at Chester on Friday over 6f on good ground. She landed that Chester novice just four days ago and is capable of following up.
• Chances Assessment: Mossvale Diva is in excellent form, demonstrating reliability and recent winning ability. The drop into selling company is a significant advantage, and she has solid claims to achieve another win.

2. U Turn

• TimeWise Rating: 257
• Recent Form & Comments: U Turn is a thoroughly exposed but reliable sort, coming into this race on the back of two good nursery efforts over 5f. The return to 6f is considered to be in his favour. He was just denied by Carnation Queen in a York seller in June under similar terms. His trainer has two solid contenders in this race.
• Chances Assessment: As a consistent and experienced performer, U Turn has shown reliability. The return to 6f is expected to be beneficial. Despite being beaten by a rival in a previous encounter, his current form makes him a strong contender for a place or even a win.

3.33 In Memory Of Peter & Shirley Fryett Handicap (5f)

1. Money Pockets

• TimeWise Rating: 250
• Recent Form & Comments: Money Pockets is an eight-race maiden who has been runner-up on her last three starts, with her latest being a close second on the AW at Lingfield. She is now on a career-high mark. She is expected to go well.
• Chances Assessment: Money Pockets is highly consistent, having placed second in her last three outings. While she carries a career-high mark, her consistent good form indicates she can be competitive and is a strong contender for a place, if not the win.

2. Zuffolo (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 245
• Recent Form & Comments: Zuffolo recorded two wins last year, with one of them being in this very race off a 3lb higher mark on good to firm ground. He got off the mark for the season with a win over 5f on Newcastle AW last week, where a first-time visor replaced blinkers. He is expected to give another good account and is taken to repeat his win in this race from 12 months ago.
• Chances Assessment: This horse is a proven winner at this course and in this specific race, and enters today’s contest following a recent win. His strong course form and current good condition make him a very strong contender, particularly if the ground is good to firm.

1. Lord Abama (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 262
• Recent Form & Comments: Lord Abama has secured two wins this term, at Newcastle (6f) in March and Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June. He posted a sound runner-up finish over C&D last time on good to firm ground. He is considered worth considering and likely to run well.
• Chances Assessment: With two wins and a recent C&D runner-up finish, Lord Abama is in good form this season. His consistency and suitability for both the trip and ground make him a strong contender for a place and potentially a win.

2. Enola Grey (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 259
• Recent Form & Comments: Her sole turf win was in a four-runner handicap over 1m at Pontefract in September 2022. She has since won five times over 7f/1m. This will be only her third run at 6f and comes after a break. The comments suggest “other stronger” contenders.
• Chances Assessment: Despite her high TimeWise rating, her form history indicates a preference for longer distances (7f/1m). Running at 6f after a break, with her trainer suggesting stronger contenders, points to a potential weakness. She would need to adapt to the shorter trip to be truly competitive.

4.35 Marske Fabrication And Engineering Straight Mile Handicap (1m)

1. Jez Bomb

• TimeWise Rating: 283
• Recent Form & Comments: Jez Bomb has been in good form recently, securing wins over 1m at Doncaster (good) and Thirsk (good to firm). She then achieved a creditable third-place finish off a career-high mark over 1m1f at Carlisle, in a race where the fourth-placed horse has since won. She is expected to be “thereabouts” and is an in-form contender.
• Chances Assessment: Jez Bomb’s recent strong performances, including two wins and a good third-place finish under a career-high mark, indicate high competitiveness. She is expected to be a prominent player in this race.

2. Poet’s Dawn

• TimeWise Rating: 258
• Recent Form & Comments: This “tough veteran” has achieved two wins this term, most recently at Carlisle last week over 1m on good to soft ground. He won this particular race two years ago off a 3lb higher mark on good ground and is anticipated to go well again, especially if the ground eases.
• Chances Assessment: Poet’s Dawn is a course and distance winner who comes into this race after a recent victory. His proven ability at this track and his potential preference for softer ground make him a strong challenger, particularly if conditions are favourable.

5.05 Market Cross Jewellers Handicap (GBBPlus Race) (1m2f)

1. Ryka (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 330
• Recent Form & Comments: Ryka is a progressive 3yo who has won three of her six starts, including at Ayr (1m2f) last month. She recently had a near-miss in a Class 2 race at Doncaster (1m4f). She remains on the same mark and is considered a strong contender given the significant drop back in grade. Her wins have been on good/good to firm ground, though her last run was on good to soft. Preference is for Ryka.
• Chances Assessment: Ryka’s impressive progression, strong winning record, and recent excellent performance in a higher grade make her a very strong contender, especially with the drop in class while staying on the same mark. Her preferred ground conditions should be noted.

2. Obito (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 298
• Recent Form & Comments: Obito is a 3yo who has won two of his six handicaps, including when upped to 1m2f at Ayr on his penultimate start. His last race at Haydock had ideal conditions, where he beat 12 other rivals. He remains on the same mark today and is unraced on ground softer than good. He did best of the closers behind a handicap blot at Haydock.
• Chances Assessment: Also a progressive 3yo with wins at this distance and comes into the race on a competitive mark. While he is a strong contender and forms a potent pairing with Ryka for his trainer, his unproven form on softer ground could be a weakness if conditions change.

1. Spectacular Style (IRE)

• TimeWise Rating: 243
• Recent Form & Comments: Spectacular Style achieved her second career win when scoring over C&D last time on good to firm ground. She carries a 4lb higher mark today. Her chances are dependent on the ground not turning soft. She is a C&D winner.
• Chances Assessment: She enters the race with a recent C&D win, indicating strong suitability for the track and distance. While the 4lb higher mark is manageable, her chances could be compromised if the ground softens significantly.

2. Tazaman

• TimeWise Rating: 239
• Recent Form & Comments: Tazaman has shown sound runs on fast ground in his last three starts, including wins over 1m4f at Leicester in May and 2m1f at Bath in June, followed by a fair second at Newbury over 1m5.5f in July. He has been off since July. He is considered “worth considering”.
• Chances Assessment: He possesses a strong record on fast ground over staying distances, with two wins and a recent placing. The lay-off is a minor concern, but his past form suggests he is capable. His chances are strong if the ground remains fast.
