1. 13:51 PricedUp Daily Sports Boosts Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 2m½f

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Un Sens A La Vie (FR)	283.8378
2	Pioneer Pete	265.7128

Recent Form and Comments

• Un Sens A La Vie (FR) (5yo): Purchased for £180,000 after winning a 3m Irish point. He easily won a bumper here in February on ground rated good to soft. This race is not considered strong, and he could be a useful prospect. He is making his hurdling debut after an absence of 238 days.
• Pioneer Pete (5yo): Finished close up in good-ground bumpers at Warwick. He has posted respectable RPRs relative to the field today. He last ran 173 days ago.

Spotlight Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for course bumper winner UN SENS A LA VIE to make a successful start over hurdles. Pioneer Pete is identified as the best alternative after two encouraging bumper runs, though Heart Over Head is noted as not one to give up on just yet.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 4yo 3-4-28, 5yo 5-5-29, 6yo 1-4-9, 7yo 0-1-2, 8yo 0-1-2.
• Fate of Favourites: 0P1122P24.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Jonjo & A J O’Neill 1-0-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Un Sens A La Vie (FR):
  • Strengths: Holds the highest TimeWise rating (283.8378). Proven course form in a bumper. Strong breeding/purchase price (£180,000) suggests potential. Trainer N A Twiston-Davies has a high rating (19.2598).
  • Weaknesses: Absent for a significant period (238 days). Making hurdling debut.
  • Suitability: Highly suitable if taking to hurdles, given his potential and the weak nature of the contest.
• Pioneer Pete:
  • Strengths: Solid TimeWise rating (265.7128). Encouraging form in bumpers.
  • Weaknesses: Rated significantly lower than the top selection.
  • Suitability: Regarded as the best alternative and should be thereabouts.

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Stumps Or Slips (IRE)	314.1565
2	Country Park (IRE)	267.4229

Recent Form and Comments

• Stumps Or Slips (IRE) (8yo): Began his tenure with the current yard by winning three handicap chases. He subsequently won a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester. His latest run in a handicap hurdle at Worcester was not considered his true form. He carries a penalty here. Last ran 18 days ago.
• Country Park (IRE) (6yo): Has been runner-up three times but is 0-8 over hurdles. He ran well for fourth on his handicap debut at Ascot. He has the best form in the race. Last ran 193 days ago.

Spotlight Verdict

Freshers Week is the dark horse but COUNTRY PARK has the best form and this looks his chance to shed the maiden status. Even with a penalty, a back-on-song Stumps Or Slips would make a race of it.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 4yo 0-0-2, 5yo 0-1-4, 6yo 1-0-3, 7yo 1-0-1.
• Fate of Favourites: 25.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Olly Murphy 2-0-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Stumps Or Slips (IRE):
  • Strengths: Highest TimeWise rating (314.1565). Proven winner over hurdles at this distance. Trainer Olly Murphy has a good record in this race type. If he runs to his true form, he will be competitive despite the penalty.
  • Weaknesses: Has to carry a penalty. His last run was disappointing.
  • Suitability: Can make a race of it if performing well.
• Country Park (IRE):
  • Strengths: Rated second (267.4229). Has the best form according to the Spotlight analysis. Has placed multiple times and ran well recently on handicap debut.
  • Weaknesses: Is a maiden after eight runs over hurdles. Rated significantly lower than Stumps Or Slips. Has been off for 193 days.
  • Suitability: Considered the primary chance to secure a win due to holding the best form, suggesting improvement is expected.

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Forget The Way	313.0445
2	Indemnity (IRE)	312.4937

Recent Form and Comments

• Forget The Way (8yo): Finished a close second on his last outing. He runs off an Official Rating (OR) of 114. Last ran 12 days ago.
• Indemnity (IRE) (5yo): Regarded as a good Flat horse who is progressing over hurdles. He won easily at Warwick recently. He has received a 7lb rise, which is considered very fair. Last ran 162 days ago.

Spotlight Verdict

The 5yo INDEMNITY (nap) was a good Flat horse and he’s going the right way over hurdles, winning so easily at Warwick last time. A 7lb rise seems very fair. Vocito has had feasible excuses since doing well to win at Uttoxeter and he’s second choice.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 4yo 0-0-1, 5yo 1-1-4, 7yo 0-1-1, 9yo 0-0-1, 10yo 0-0-1.
• Fate of Favourites: Not listed for this specific race.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Not listed for this specific race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Forget The Way:
  • Strengths: Holds the slightly higher TimeWise rating (313.0445). Runs regularly and recently achieved a close second. Trainer J P Owen has a high rating (25.0643) and good recent form (67%).
  • Weaknesses: Not the primary selection in the Spotlight verdict.
  • Suitability: Expected to run well given recent form and high rating.
• Indemnity (IRE):
  • Strengths: Selected as the nap. Highly progressive over hurdles, winning easily last time. The 7lb penalty is considered fair. Trainer Miss E C Lavelle boasts 100% recent form.
  • Weaknesses: Absence of 162 days.
  • Suitability: Considered the horse to beat due to his upward trajectory and suitability for handicap hurdles.

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Kopa Kilana (IRE)	273.013
2	Tankardstown Diva (IRE)	229.8389

Recent Form and Comments

• Kopa Kilana (IRE) (8yo): He is 0-25 over hurdles despite being a bumper winner. He has been competitive, finishing close in three of his four runs for Olly Murphy. He is worth another attempt over this longer distance (2m7f), having previously run at 2m4f. (Note: Kopa Kilana is listed as a Non-Runner in the source race preview).
• Tankardstown Diva (IRE) (6yo): Has one win from 21 starts under rules in Ireland. She made a reasonable stable debut here before finishing second at Warwick (2m3f, good). She stays 3m, suggesting the return to further is a positive move. Last ran 21 days ago.

Spotlight Verdict

Henry Daly had one run well after a break at Chepstow on Friday and SANDSCAPE appeals as a likely improver over this longer trip. Tankardstown Diva is feared most along with Ruler Of The River.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 4yo 1-1-3, 5yo 0-0-3, 6yo 0-0-3, 7yo 0-0-1, 11yo 0-0-1, 12yo 0-1-1.
• Fate of Favourites: Not listed for this specific race.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Jessica Bedi 0-1-1, Mike Sowersby 0-1-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Kopa Kilana (IRE):
  • Strengths: Highest TimeWise rating (273.013). Has recent competitive form and the step up in trip is noted as potentially suiting him.
  • Weaknesses: Listed as a Non-Runner. His 0-25 hurdle record is highly concerning.
  • Suitability: Based on TimeWise rating, he would be a contender if running, especially if stamina helps, but his poor win record and potential scratching are issues.
• Tankardstown Diva (IRE):
  • Strengths: Rated second (229.8389). Expected to stay the trip (stays 3m). Has recent placement form (second at Warwick). Is ‘feared most’ by the Spotlight selection.
  • Weaknesses: Low overall strike rate (1-21).
  • Suitability: Expected to feature strongly, benefiting from the extended distance.

5. 15:51 PricedUp Handicap Chase (Class 3) 2m5½f

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Lermoos Legend	302.0683
2	Sure Touch	290.4109

Recent Form and Comments

• Lermoos Legend (10yo): Has recorded wins in his last two successful outings. His recent run resulted in a fourth-place finish. Last ran 22 days ago.
• Sure Touch (9yo): Former C&D winner of the Summer Plate in July 2024. He has not been running well recently. He is considered too well handicapped to disregard and is dropping in grade. A tongue-tie is reapplied. Last ran 39 days ago.

Spotlight Verdict

This is a drop in grade for former Summer Plate winner Sure Touch who is too well handicapped to leave out of calculations. Lunar Discovery looks sure to be a factor but preference is for NICKELFORCE who continues to threaten a third success over fences.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 7yo 0-1-2, 8yo 0-0-2, 9yo 1-0-2.
• Fate of Favourites: Not listed for this specific race.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Not listed for this specific race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Lermoos Legend:
  • Strengths: Highest TimeWise rating (302.0683). Showed excellent form recently with consecutive wins. Jockey Sean Bowen has a strong rating (28.43).
  • Weaknesses: Recent run was only fourth.
  • Suitability: Strong contender based on recent winning form.
• Sure Touch:
  • Strengths: C&D winner (Summer Plate). Lowest mark in a while makes him attractive on handicap terms. Drops in grade. Reapplication of tongue-tie might spark improvement.
  • Weaknesses: Has been out of form for some time.
  • Suitability: Must be factored in due to class and favourable handicap position.

6. 16:21 PricedUp The Jumps Novices’ Handicap Chase (Class 5) 2m3f

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Independent Jimmy	258.4037
2	I Am Rocco	233.0117

Recent Form and Comments

• Independent Jimmy (6yo): Has secured a win over hurdles. Made a pleasing chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good), looking set to win until overtaken late. Runs off the same mark. Cheekpieces are removed. Last ran 18 days ago.
• I Am Rocco (8yo): Has delivered three solid runs since joining the current yard. Was beaten by an in-form rival at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good). He received a 3lb rise, described as annoying. Last ran 28 days ago.

Spotlight Verdict

A thin-looking handicap and probably a good opportunity for I AM ROCCO to gain a deserved win after three solid efforts. Independent Jimmy couldn’t finish the job off at Worcester but that was still a positive first run over fences.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 4yo 0-0-1, 5yo 1-4-10, 6yo 0-4-16, 7yo 2-1-9, 8yo 1-1-5, 9yo 0-0-3, 10yo 0-0-1, 11yo 1-0-1, 12yo 0-0-1.
• Fate of Favourites: 22123.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Billy Aprahamian 0-1-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Independent Jimmy:
  • Strengths: Highest TimeWise rating (258.4037). Impressive chase debut, suggesting capability. Runs off an unchanged mark.
  • Weaknesses: Could not finish the job off on debut over fences. Cheekpieces are left off.
  • Suitability: A major contender based on rating and chase debut promise.
• I Am Rocco:
  • Strengths: Expected to win (good opportunity for a deserved win). Three solid runs for the yard.
  • Weaknesses: Rated significantly lower (233.0117) than Independent Jimmy. The 3lb rise is considered a drawback.
  • Suitability: Highly favoured by the Spotlight for consistency and opportunity in a thin field.

7. 16:55 PricedUp.Bet Boosts “Junior” National Hunt Flat Race (Class 5) 2m½f

Ranking	Horse Name	Total TimeWise Rating
1	Indiza (IRE)	45.363
2	Pureis King (FR)	43.626

Recent Form and Comments

• Indiza (IRE) (3yo): A 38,000gns yearling. Half-brother to multiple Flat winners. Has an “eyecatching Flat pedigree” and is expected to handle the stamina test. He has had a wind operation. This is a debut run.
• Pureis King (FR) (3yo): A 22,000gns 3yo. His potential is enhanced by the booking of Sean Bowen. This is a debut run.

Spotlight Verdict

With nothing to go on other than pedigrees and connections, the market should be enlightening. INDIZA has quite an eyecatching Flat pedigree and stamina shouldn’t be an issue, yet it could be for Cracks Speed.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups (W-PL-R): 3yo 1-0-4.
• Fate of Favourites: Not listed for this specific race.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R in this race): Not listed for this specific race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

• Indiza (IRE):
  • Strengths: Highest TimeWise rating (45.363). Strong Flat pedigree suggests ability. Stamina is not expected to be an issue.
  • Weaknesses: Debut run means form is unproven.
  • Suitability: Primary selection based on pedigree and expected stamina.
• Pureis King (FR):
  • Strengths: Sean Bowen is booked, which increases interest. Rated second (43.626).
  • Weaknesses: Debut run. Yard is not typically noted for bumper winners.
  • Suitability: A potential winner whose chances rely heavily on market support and the impact of the top jockey booking.
