Spotlight Verdicts & Key Horses

BRIGHTON (GOOD)

• 2:10 Handicap: BARNSNAPE BOY is the selection, hoped to click back into gear on drier ground. Recon Mission (now blinkered) is the second choice but has a worrying record here.
• 2:45 Maiden: FIERCE FORTITUDE is the form pick, facing strong opposition from Cosmo Goodspeed.
• 3:20 Nursery: The safest play is ARVANA BELLE, who has finished 1st and 2nd in her last two nurseries here, finishing clear of the third last time. Molly Mac is the second choice.
• 4:30 Handicap: AL KHAWANEEJ RIVER is preferred, despite having no course form, due to being downgraded in class. Just Adair, the improver, is second choice but must handle the track. Potters Marmite is a confirmed Non-Runner (NR).
• 5:05 Handicap: The consistent 3yo filly DESERT BEAUTY is the choice, based on her clear second LTO. King Of War and Mighty Real are noted as dangers; Mighty Real continues to test patience but his turn should come.
• 5:40 Handicap: Rovinia is mentioned as being “in the mix” after narrowly missing LTO. Hannah’s Return is noted as a front-runner with winning form here.

HAMILTON (SOFT)

• 1:50 Maiden: The strong favourite is EAT PRAY RUN (1/20).
• 2:25 Handicap: KRANJCAR (NAP) is the selection, looking better than ever after winning last week. Bay Breeze (first-time blinkers) is noted as the second choice despite finishing well behind Kranjcar previously.
• 3:00 Handicap: Low-mileage 4yo ASIAN JOURNEY is chanced despite an underwhelming handicap debut, based on pedigree suggesting suitability for soft ground. Course specialist Arkenstaar is second choice.
• 3:35 Handicap: A punt is taken on JANNAS JOURNEY (second choice) to confirm her stamina, ahead of Impartiality (second choice). Spioradalta, seeking a hat-trick, expects a strong display.
• 4:10 Handicap: COROLLA POINT is the preference, having impressed with his Haydock win and retaining potential at 5f. Eternal Sunshine (in form, 6lb higher) is second choice.
• 4:45 Handicap: Last year’s winner NEVER DARK is selected, being on a good mark. Ganesha and Harb are noted based on their recent Ayr form. Dandy Dinmont is a confirmed NR.

NEWTON ABBOT (GOOD)

• 1:56 Chase: No specific verdict, but Centara (5/4F) is 8lb better off with Breaking Cover (11/8) after their recent meeting. Synchronist has gained market support (Shortener).
• 2:31 Selling Hcap: Topweight DICKENS is selected to win, enjoying a drop in competition. Gavin and Sassified are the primary dangers.
• 3:06 Novices’ Hurdle: JOHN BARBOUR sets the standard of hurdling form and is selected to overcome his penalty. Best Night and Jaminska should also be involved.
• 3:41 Novices’ Hcap: Class-dropper ENJOY D’ALLEN is picked to exploit a tempting handicap mark. Tropical Speed is a likely contender on stable debut, with Touchwoodexpress noted as second choice. Road Senam is a confirmed NR.
• 4:16 Chase: Multiple C&D winner HOLD YOUR FORT is the choice on return to chasing after a pleasing hurdle run. Bagheera Ginge is a major player if staying the trip.
• 4:50 Handicap Hurdle: THE HEIGHT OF FAME (NAP) is expected to thrive in this easier race on faster ground. Stinginhisstep is runner-up choice.

DOWN ROYAL (GOOD)

• 2:04 Nursery: The verdict favors an unregistered runner (Love Bomb), but based on form, The Love Machine and Imnotleavinyou are noted. Bay Of Supremacy, the Naas winner, is a confirmed NR.
• 2:39 Fillies Handicap: BILLIE FRECHETTE is favoured to turn the tables on Alba Chiara, given she is 12lb better off following an unlucky passage LTO. Mo Ghille Mar is a track specialist danger.
• 3:49 Maiden: DIEGO EL QUESO is the form pick and has the winning of this if replicating recent narrow defeats. Smiling and Perfect Base are noted as main dangers.
• 4:24 Handicap: PORT LOUIS is the selection, having caught the eye LTO. Shelbourne Flyer is a major player but faces an unkind draw.
• 4:55 Handicap: The relatively unexposed 3yo FARO ISLAND is taken to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces. Lunar Landscape is also considered.
• 5:25 Handicap: A punt is taken on MORSE who will relish any rain and is 4lb lower than when runner-up here last year. Railwayview Lady is unexposed and shortlisted. Morse is a confirmed NR.

ROSCOMMON (YIELDING)

• 1:40 Maiden Hurdle: RAKKI is selected on his encouraging first run for the Mullins yard. Hobart and Hopeful Hero carry each-way claims.
• 2:15 Handicap Hurdle: NO BIG DEAL is the suggestion after competitive shows under both codes. I’m Flattered, who beat a subsequent winner LTO, is expected to offer more.
• 4:00 Handicap Hurdle: The consistent mare BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA (NAP) is preferred to defy a 7lb rise. Henry De Bromhead’s handicap debutant Quantum Quest is popular but Ballyglass Beauty is a live danger if settling. Dorans Law is a confirmed NR.
• 4:35 Grade 3 Chase: Expected to be a match between KING OF KINGSFIELD and Westport Cove. The former is preferred, despite conceding 4lb, due to his upward trajectory over fences.
• 5:10 Mares Chase: COBRA QUEEN is the selection, having jumped well and appearing fine on her mark.
• 5:45 Flat Race: SHADYS LADY holds strong form claims from a runner-up effort to a subsequent Grade 1 placed horse. Onlyforfrankie and Ozark’s Walk are strong form contenders.

SOUTHWELL (STANDARD AW)

• 5:00 Handicap: SPECTACULAR STYLE is tipped as the form pick. Big Win is noted as an interesting contender now handicapping. Spectacular Style is a heavy market drifter (-14 points).
• 5:30 Novice: IZZN’NT SHE HOT is the selection setting the form standard. Cotton Bud is a main form contender. Art Gallery, a high-value debutante, looks shortlist material.
• 6:00 Novice: Promising filly ROSE OF HONOUR is taken to defy a penalty. Brakeman (NR) was originally second choice, placing the highly-rated Spitzbergen next in consideration.
• 6:30 Fillies Hcap: Low-mileage 3yo SPIRIT OF JENNY is suggested. Dual C&D winner Daytona Lady is the second choice. Market confidence should be heeded for After Love.
• 7:00 Handicap: GRACE ANGEL (NAP) is favored, having run solidly LTO. Thankuappreciate is dangerous.
• 7:30 Handicap: KAARESS is tipped, having slipped to a good mark and been unlucky LTO. My Ambition (Lingfield winner) is second choice.
• 8:00 Novice: LUMINOSO is given another chance dropping back in distance. Goldie Trickett is second choice, bred to do better.
• 8:30 Handicap: THE REAL MCKAY is the selection as the sole C&D winner who is attractively treated. Roaring Ralph is expected to run a big race.

Key Briefing Notes

1. Roscommon Grade 3 Match: The Ballymore Grp Irish EBF Kilbegnet Novice Chase (4:35) is expected to be a direct match between King Of Kingsfield and the favourite, Westport Cove. King Of Kingsfield is preferred, despite a weight disadvantage (conceding 4lb), owing to his quality form over hurdles and upward trajectory over fences.
2. Newton Abbot Handicap Exploit: The veteran Enjoy D’Allen (NA 3.41) is highlighted as the top choice, returning from a break to exploit a much-reduced hurdle mark. He is selected to defeat the highly consistent Tropical Speed (who is drifting in the market).
3. Southwell Market Volatility: Monitor the significant market divergence in the 5:00 Handicap. The form pick Spectacular Style (-14 points drift) is losing heavy support, while the highly-rated newcomer to handicaps Big Win (+14 points shortener) is receiving substantial backing.
4. Brighton Course Specialist Angle: The Brighton 3.55 Handicap is crucial for course form study, featuring multi-time track winners Uncle Dick (strongly backed, +9 points), Darvel, and Oj Lifestyle.
5. Down Royal Handicap Dynamics: The Down Royal 2:04 Nursery is tactically altered by the removal of key Naas winner Bay Of Supremacy. In the 2:39 Fillies Hcap, back the tipped Billie Frechette to overturn form on significantly better terms (12lb better off) against Alba Chiara.
6. Pace Scenario/Front-Runners: Look to front-runners like Centara (NA 1.56) and Stans The Man (NA 4.16) who could dominate small fields on Good ground. On Soft ground at Hamilton, Kranjcar (HAM 2.25, seeking 5th win) remains the clear NAP despite drifting slightly.
7. AW Handicap Debutant Watch: Henry De Bromhead’s Quantum Quest (ROS 4.00) is one to watch on his handicap debut over 3m, having succeeded stepping up in trip LTO. Conversely, Asian Journey (HAM 3.00) is given a tentative selection on soft ground for his second handicap outing, despite disappointing previously.
