5.00 QuinnBet Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Class 5, 1m2f, Standard, 3yo+, Win: £3,888

Rank	Horse (Age)	Master Total Rating (TimeWise)
1	Mukhtalif (3)	304
2	Pride Of Donegal (3)	211

Mukhtalif (Total Rating: 304)

• Recent Form: His last three runs scored 90 (LR), 30 (2LR), and 13 (3LR). He has placed on all three career turf starts over 1m2f (322 in raceform). He was gelded ahead of this race and returns after seven weeks off.
• Supplied Comments: He showed pretty useful form. He is considered the one to beat in this company.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Brings the best form to the race. Has a potential fitness edge over some rivals who have had longer breaks.
  • Weaknesses: This marks his debut start on the All-Weather (AW).
  • Suitability: The 1m2f trip is suitable, as he has placed over this distance on turf.

Pride Of Donegal (Total Rating: 211)

• Recent Form: His last three runs scored 39 (LR), 26 (2LR), and 14 (3LR). His most recent form sequence is 43-4, having run last in January (247 days ago).
• Supplied Comments: Showed promise when making the frame in three outings over 1m on Tapeta last winter. Finished a close fourth of five in a novice here when last seen.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Has experience on Tapeta (AW surface). Has the potential for better as he is now upped to 1m2f, a distance he is bred to be suited by.
  • Weaknesses: Returning from an eight-month absence (247 days).
  • Suitability: The longer 1m2f trip (up from 1m) is deemed suitable based on his breeding.

Spotlight Verdict: It’s hard to see past MUKHTALIF who has the best form and a potential fitness edge over Pride Of Donegal, who has been off since January, and Royal Army, who hasn’t been seen since showing promise on his debut in the summer of 2023.

5.30 Download The QuinnBet App Handicap

Class 6, 1m4½f, Standard, 3yo+, Win: £3,245

Rank	Horse (Age)	Master Total Rating (TimeWise)
1	Rubellite (5)	264
2	Fleur De Mer (5)	241

Rubellite (Total Rating: 264)

• Recent Form: Her last three runs scored 75 (LR), 24 (2LR), and 15 (3LR). Her recent form includes three wins in six runs (113361). She won a handicap at Wolverhampton 23 days ago.
• Supplied Comments: Two of her five wins for her previous trainer came over this C&D. She recorded a career best when winning a ten-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1m4f). May be capable of better for her current stable (Richard Fahey). She was strong at the finish in her last outing.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Recent career-best win. Is a C&D winner. Trained by Richard Fahey.
  • Weaknesses: Up 6lb for her most recent success.
  • Suitability: Proven successful over C&D (1m 4f 98y AW).

Fleur De Mer (Total Rating: 241)

• Recent Form: Her last three runs scored 77 (LR), 25 (2LR), and 11 (3LR). Her recent form sequence is 574542, finishing second over C&D two weeks ago.
• Supplied Comments: Is a dual AW winner. Hinted that her turn might be near when finishing a rallying second over C&D two weeks ago.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Dual AW winner with good C&D form (rallying second last time out). Back down in class.
  • Weaknesses: Up 1lb for her recent second place.
  • Suitability: Proven over the AW surface and C&D.

Spotlight Verdict: Flying Scotsman is high on the list on his return to action but Percy Willis (second choice) and RUBELLITE are preferred. The latter was strong at the finish when winning at Wolverhampton 23 days ago and that was just his second start for Richard Fahey.

• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Showed respectable efforts over 2m+ distances, including on AW. Has place claims back on AW.
  • Weaknesses: Is a maiden. Ran well beaten on her only previous try in cheekpieces, which she wears again today.
  • Suitability: Distances around 2m (today’s trip) suit her, as seen in her recent respectable efforts.

Spotlight Verdict: A further step up in trip could well suit Universal Story, who caught the eye finishing strongly at Catterick on stable debut, and he’s preferred ahead of Stand Strong who remains unexposed over this far. Girl Of Gold is next on the list.

Rank	Horse (Age)	Master Total Rating (TimeWise)
1	Tiger Power (2)	285
2	Malachy’s Wish (2)	246

Tiger Power (Total Rating: 285)

• Recent Form: Only one run, scoring 80 (LR). He won on debut (1) over 7f at Haydock 21 days ago.
• Supplied Comments: Made a winning debut for his top yard. Was nicely on top near the finish and looks sure to improve.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Proven ability with a winning debut over the distance. Looks sure to improve.
  • Weaknesses: Unproven on AW, having won on good ground.
  • Suitability: Distance (7f) is proven.

• Recent Form: His last two runs scored 80 (LR) and 25 (2LR). His form reads 51, winning a maiden 16 days ago.
• Supplied Comments: Was better than the result on his AW debut. Improved to win a maiden over an extended 7f in the mud at Ffos Las. May do better again.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Improved form shown in his latest win. Has run better than the result on AW previously.
  • Weaknesses: Recent winning form came on heavy ground (“in the mud”), which may not translate directly to Newcastle’s Standard AW.
  • Suitability: Proven over extended 7f trip.

Spotlight Verdict: Menwirr and Power For Power are respected newcomers for whom market confidence could prove significant but the percentage call is TIGER POWER on the back of his promising winning debut at Haydock at the start of this month.

• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Proven C&D winner.
  • Weaknesses: Has been disappointing in handicaps since her C&D win. Her stable debut was poor.
  • Suitability: C&D winner.

• Recent Form: His last three runs scored 74 (LR), 23 (2LR), and 11 (3LR). His recent form sequence is 202561, winning over C&D 17 days ago.
• Supplied Comments: Four-time AW winner. Won by a neck over this C&D, ending a losing run dating back to November 2022.

  • Strengths: Recent C&D winner. Up only 2lb from his last win, making him competitive again.
  • Weaknesses: Ended a lengthy losing run (since November 2022) with his last win.
  • Suitability: Proven C&D winner (7f 14y AW).

Oselton (Total Rating: 228)

• Recent Form: His last three runs scored 73 (LR), 18 (2LR), and 10 (3LR). His recent form includes a win at Southwell (603871) 23 days ago.
• Supplied Comments: Got off the mark at the 12th attempt when winning by 4l at Southwell (7f, AW). The horse that finished second in that race has since won.
• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Won convincingly last time. The form of his win has been boosted (second has won since).
  • Weaknesses: Hit with a 9lb rise in the weights.
  • Suitability: Proven recent form over 7f on AW.

Spotlight Verdict: Coramento gained his only previous win here but he’s returning from a three-month break and may prefer an extra furlong. Ring Of Gold (second choice) ended a lengthy losing run here last time but OSELTON won well at Southwell and he is selected to defy a 9lb rise.

• Assessment:
  • Strengths: Recent 1m AW handicap winner. May be happier back at 1m (today’s trip).
  • Weaknesses: Is now 5lb higher than when finishing third here last time. Did not finish strongly (“didn’t find much off the bridle”) in the 1m2f run.
  • Suitability: Should be happier returning to 1m.

Spotlight Verdict: Three-time C&D winner Martin’s Brig (second choice) returns to AW following some good efforts on turf but PARISH COUNCILLOR (nap) is selected to follow up his Lingfield win and make it 2-2 for his stable. Coloane is now 5lb higher than when third here last time but may be happier returned to 1m.
