5.00 Free Race Replays On attheraces.com Handicap

(2m½f, Standard, 3yo+, Class 6, Win: £3245)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated

1. Universal Story (IRE) (Total: 250)
2. Spectacular Style (Total: 229)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Universal Story (IRE) (4)	This low-mileage filly opened her account in a Newcastle contest just four days ago on her first attempt over 2m and her second start for her new yard. Further progress is plausible.
Spectacular Style (5)	Ran below market expectations last time when aiming for a Redcar double (1m6f), having raced freely. Upped further in distance, he may settle better and could rebound as a hood is reapplied.

Spotlight Verdict

Newcastle scorer UNIVERSAL STORY is taken to complete a quickfire double. Big Win (second choice) and Rose Warrior are open to improvement, while Spectacular Style may rebound with a hood refitted.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: 3yo (1 win, 0 places from 4 runs), 4yo+ (0 wins, 1 place from 2 runs).
• Fate of Favourites: Not explicitly provided in the sources for this race.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R): None provided in the sources for this race.

Assessment of Top Two

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Universal Story (IRE)	Recent winner over this trip, suggesting suitability to the distance. Low mileage and capable of further progress.	Carries a 5lb penalty for the recent win.	Selected by the Spotlight to complete a quickfire double.
Spectacular Style	Has a high Topspeed RPR (70). Hood being reapplied may help him settle.	Raced freely last time out, leading to a below-par performance.	Expected to possibly rebound if settling better over the extended trip.

5.30 Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

(7f, Standard, 2yo, Class 5, Win: £3672)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated

1. Cotton Bud (IRE) (Total: 231)
2. Mayfair Market (Total: 220)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Cotton Bud (IRE) (2)	Stayed on for fourth over 7.5f on soft ground at Beverley in her latest turf start. She is considered one of the main form contenders.
Mayfair Market (2)	Thrice-raced filly who posted her peak effort over 7f on the AW, finishing third at Kempton behind a useful winner (who was subsequently the May Hill runner-up). She is the official form pick when returning to this sphere.

Spotlight Verdict

Interesting newcomers TAGO MAGO and Art Gallery head the shortlist in that order of preference, subject to market signals. Mayfair Market is the form pick, although earning a mark of 71 suggests the standard she sets is rather ordinary for novice level, instead of switching to handicaps.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 5.30 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Cotton Bud (IRE)	One of the main form contenders. Has run well over a slightly longer trip.	The 7f distance may be a sharper test than desired.	Has a chance but the Spotlight favours the well-bred debutantes.
Mayfair Market	Holds the best recorded form in this sphere (AW/7f).	Her official rating (71) suggests the level of competition she has faced is not exceptional.	The form pick of the field.

6.00 Sky Sports Racing Virgin 519 Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

(6f, Standard, 3yo+, Class 5, Win: £3888)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated

1. Rose Of Honour (IRE) (Total: 299)
2. Spitzbergen (FR) (Total: 252)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Rose Of Honour (IRE) (3)	Made a very promising debut when comfortably winning a Kempton event (6f). She commands respect under a 7lb penalty and is considered open to progress.
Spitzbergen (FR) (3)	Is a four-race maiden. He disappointed as favourite when kept to 7f last time, but this drop back in trip (6f) is thought to be worth exploring. He is a major player based on his peak efforts.

Spotlight Verdict

Promising ROSE OF HONOUR is taken to defy a penalty for her Kempton success. Twice-raced contenders Brakeman (second choice) and Knightmare are next on the shortlist, being open to further progress. The four-race maidens Spitzbergen and Vamp are slightly more exposed but their best form is respectable.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 6.00 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Rose Of Honour (IRE)	Comfortable winner on debut; highly progressive potential.	Must carry a 7lb penalty.	Selected to win and defy the penalty.
Spitzbergen (FR)	Strong contender based on peak ability. Likely suited by the drop back to 6f.	More exposed than her top rival (four races). Disappointed last time out.	Considered respectable, but only third preference in the Spotlight.

6.30 Join Southwell Golf Club Fillies Handicap

(6f, Standard, 3yo+, Class 5, Win: £3978)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated

1. Phoenix Moon (IRE) (Total: 259)
2. After Love (IRE) (Total: 218)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Phoenix Moon (IRE) (4)	Is in good form, with all her wins coming in Class 6 events on Lingfield AW, including her latest start.
After Love (IRE) (3)	Is a five-race maiden (placed once) who ran over 7f-1m for Dermot Weld. She has a couple of 6f winners in her pedigree and may show progress for her new stable.

Spotlight Verdict

Plenty of the runners have possibilities in this open-looking contest. The suggestion is low-mileage 3yo SPIRIT OF JENNY who may improve for the return to 6f. Second choice is dual C&D winner Daytona Lady, ahead of attractively weighted Boyne Lady. Market confidence behind After Love should be heeded.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 6.30 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Phoenix Moon (IRE)	Good current form; multiple AW winner.	All previous wins came in Class 6; untested/unproven at this higher Class 5 level.	Needs to prove she can perform successfully in this class.
After Love (IRE)	Unexposed and moving to a new stable. Pedigree suggests the 6f trip could suit.	Is still a maiden after five starts.	Market confidence in her new stable form is advised.

7.00 Join Us For Glitzmas In December Handicap

(5f, Standard, 3yo+, Class 5, Win: £3978)

Note on TimeWise Ratings: The source data provided for the 7.00 Southwell race is truncated, showing only horses rated 224 and below. The true highest-rated contenders are likely missing. We use the two highest visible ratings.

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated (Highest Visible)

1. Popular Dream (Total: 224)
2. Mart (Total: 219)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Popular Dream (5)	Continued in good form on this track, including a C&D win in January, until he bled from the nose here in March. He has been off since March.
Mart (4)	Won twice over 5f on Tapeta in late 2023. However, he hasn’t run over this short trip for a long time, and his form tailed off when last seen in June.

Spotlight Verdict

Thankuappreciate was solid recently and can be dangerous again, but preference is for GRACE ANGEL (nap) who gave it a good shot when trying to give weight to a useful yardstick over C&D eight days ago. Blue Anthem’s good run on turf has stalled now but he’s worth a look in his first 5f handicap on the AW.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 7.00 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two (Based on Visible Ratings)

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Popular Dream	Proven C&D winner. If healthy and fit, he has ability for this level.	Has been absent since March after suffering from a nose bleed.	Highly uncertain chance due to the long layoff and the health issue.
Mart	Proven winner on Tapeta over 5f.	Form tailed off recently (last seen in June); questionable suitability to the 5f trip now.	Others look more likely to win.

7.30 attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap

(1m, Standard, 4yo+, Class 6, Win: £3245)

Note on TimeWise Ratings: The source data provided for the 7.30 Southwell race is truncated, showing only horses rated 186 and below. The favourites/top contenders (e.g., My Ambition, Kaaress, Woodleigh) are likely missing from this list. We use the two highest visible ratings.

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated (Highest Visible)

1. Create (IRE) (Total: 186)
2. Haaf A Diamond (Total: 185)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Create (IRE) (5)	Was in good form in the spring, notably winning over C&D. However, her summer form was disappointing, and she needs to turn a corner.
Haaf A Diamond (5)	Gave a pretty good account when finishing fourth from out of the weights at Lingfield (1m) this month. He has form on Tapeta and is effectively 2lb lower here.

Spotlight Verdict

Recent Lingfield winner My Ambition is respected, but it might pay to oppose him with three-time Tapeta winner KAARESS, who was unlucky not to finish closer at Newcastle last week and has slipped to a good mark. My Brother Mike, Woodleigh and Back From Dubai also make the shortlist.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 7.30 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two (Based on Visible Ratings)

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Create (IRE)	C&D winner. Potential exists if previous form is rediscovered.	Needs to recover from disappointing summer form.	Must turn a corner to be competitive.
Haaf A Diamond	Creditable recent run at Lingfield. Has course suitability (Tapeta form).	Modest career strike-rate (1-12).	Considered an each-way chance.

8.00 Golf And Gallop Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

(7f, Standard, 3yo+, Class 5, Win: £3888)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated

1. Goldie Trickett (IRE) (Total: 236)
2. Stellenbosch (IRE) (Total: 228)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Goldie Trickett (IRE) (3)	Showed improvement in her latest 7f effort after two below-expectation turf starts in the spring. She is bred to do better still and has possibilities switched to AW.
Stellenbosch (IRE) (3)	The most exposed contender (0-6) and has lacked consistency this term. She is absent for three months. She would be a leading player if returning to her reappearance form (second at Newmarket, 7f).

Spotlight Verdict

Back down in distance and returned to the scene of her debut promise, LUMINOSO is worth another chance. Goldie Trickett, who should still do better judged on breeding, is second choice. Stellenbosch is more exposed but her best form is respectable. Market confidence behind newcomer Welljudged should be heeded.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 8.00 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Goldie Trickett (IRE)	Improved last time; well-bred and expected to progress further.	Needs to transfer her better form to the AW successfully.	Second choice in the Spotlight; strong chance based on breeding and improved latest effort.
Stellenbosch (IRE)	Best form (2nd at Newmarket) is respectable.	Most exposed in the field (0-6); inconsistent and returning from a three-month absence.	Needs to be fit and sharp to compete for the win.

8.30 Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap

(6f, Standard, 3yo+, Class 6, Win: £3245)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated

1. Silky Robin (IRE) (Total: 267)
2. Thanks Dad (Total: 241)

Recent Form and Comments

Horse	Recent Form/Comments (Spotlight)
Silky Robin (IRE) (4)	Holds a record of 4-6 on turf since wearing blinkers. He warrants respect in current form with the headgear retained, but is 0-12 on AW.
Thanks Dad (5)	Finished a respectable fourth over 6f at Brighton recently. However, he shaped as if he ideally needs a return to 7f (his usual trip).

Spotlight Verdict

There are a few positives regarding THE REAL MCKAY who is the sole C&D winner in this field, ran encouragingly last time and remains attractively treated. Roaring Ralph (second choice) appears set for a big run, while Silky Robin warrants respect in the retained blinkers, Winter Crown is interesting dropped in class and Ottawa also enters calculations.

Race Statistics

The sources do not contain any race statistics (age groups, fate of favourites, trainer records) specifically for the 8.30 Southwell race.

Assessment of Top Two

Horse	Strengths	Weaknesses	Suitability/Chances
Silky Robin (IRE)	Exceptional recent turf form since applying blinkers. High TimeWise rating suggests ability at this class.	Zero wins in 12 attempts on AW. Must prove suitability to the Tapeta surface.	Warrants respect but must overcome poor AW record.
Thanks Dad	Respectable recent performance.	Shaped as if the 6f trip is too short (prefers 7f). Has a poor career strike-rate.	Not strongly fancied due to trip concerns.
