4.29 At The Races App Expert Tips Handicap (6f 20y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Coul Angel (3yo, 9-5)
- Miraculous (3yo, 9-6)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Coul Angel: Has won three of 11 starts. Latest win was four weeks ago in a 6f Newmarket handicap, demonstrating a good change of gear over 1f out. A 5lb rise is applied, but he is unlikely to have reached his ceiling. | |
| Miraculous: Has two 6f wins this year and previously ran well in a C&D handicap. However, his form dipped at Southwell last month (5f). Needs a full revival to overcome his wide stall (stall 11). | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | Regal Envoy should appreciate the return to Class 3 company and he is high on the list, while Wicket Keeper isn’t fully exposed and Coul Angel (second choice) may yet rate higher too. ALMARADA PRINCE can miss a beat at the start but he was more smartly away at Kempton ten days ago and he is well handicapped if he can break on terms again. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records are not explicitly provided for this specific race in the sources. | N/A |
| Assessment of Top Two | Coul Angel (Strengths/Suitability): Recent winner (Newmarket handicap) and showed excellent acceleration. He is considered the second choice in the spotlight, suggesting he is still improving and suited to the class. (Weaknesses): Must cope with a 5lb rise. | |
| Miraculous (Strengths/Suitability): Proven previous form at C&D. (Weaknesses): Recent form dipped, requires a full revival, and the wide draw (stall 11) is a negative factor. |
4.59 Arc All-Weather £1Million Bonus Returns Handicap (6f 20y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Nordic Glory (6yo, 9-4)
- Sam’s Hope (5yo, 9-4)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Nordic Glory: Won twice over C&D in classified company in March. Returned to winning ways in a 0-55 handicap here four weeks ago. He is up 4lb and faces a slightly higher grade, and a lower draw (he is in stall 11) would have been preferred. | |
| Sam’s Hope: Was running consistently before an emphatic C&D win last month. Finished fourth at Chelmsford two days later, and his revised 3lb higher mark is now active. He is still capable of a prominent display. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | Saffredi should make a bold bid to follow up last season’s win in this race, while Sam’s Hope has been in good form and Massimo Blue returned to winning ways at Southwell on Thursday night. The return to 6f and 0-60 company could see TEN CLUB in a better light though and he is marginally preferred. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups (Winners-Placed-Runners): 3yo 2-1-6, 4yo+ 0-3-14. Fate of Favourites (W-L): 1-2. Trainer Records (W-P-R): Grace Harris 1-0-1. | |
| Assessment of Top Two | Nordic Glory (Strengths/Suitability): Proven C&D winner, recently won in a similar grade. (Weaknesses): Carries 4lb more and drew a high stall (11). | |
| Sam’s Hope (Strengths/Suitability): Recent emphatic C&D success; capable of displaying prominence again. (Weaknesses): Running off a revised 3lb higher mark. |
5.30 Download The Raceday Ready App Selling Stakes (1m 1f 104y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Bystander (5yo, 9-13)
- Dosman (4yo, 9-13)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Bystander: Previously won three times on AW, including a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last summer off a BHA mark of 85 (RPR 95). He has solid form claims. However, it is disconcerting that he starts out in selling company after 420 days off. A tongue-tie is added for the first time. | |
| Dosman: Was a 7f AW winner previously. He achieved an RPR of 100 on one occasion and ran an improved seasonal return when second to Native Warrior (who is now rated 18lb higher). After changing hands for 100,000gns, he has been slow away and well beaten in three subsequent runs for the current yard. Headgear experiments have been quickly stopped. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | This looks utterly unfathomable. Dosman recorded an RPR of 102 as recently as June, but has offered little for his new stable. Big Sip would seem fairly likely to run his race. BYSTANDER is tentatively preferred as his AW form stacks up well and he may be able to defy his 420-day absence. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records are not explicitly provided for this specific race in the sources. | N/A |
| Assessment of Top Two | Bystander (Strengths/Suitability): AW form stacks up well (RPR 95 off OR 85 previously). Tentatively preferred in the spotlight. (Weaknesses): Must defy a 420-day absence and starting in a selling race. | |
| Dosman (Strengths/Suitability): Previously top class (RPR 100/102) and receives a marked drop in class and a step up in trip. (Weaknesses): Recent performances have been very poor (slow away and well beaten). |
6.00 Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap (Div I) (1m 1f 104y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Stipulation (4yo, 9-5)
- Alpine Oasis (4yo, 10-0)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Stipulation: Was a maiden before winning two Class 6 events, including over C&D under Hollie Doyle. Remains in form, having finished a respectable third in a Class 5 at Bath (1m2f) since. Enters calculations. | |
| Alpine Oasis: Scored at Southwell (1m4f) on his last Class 5 attempt. He was well beaten last time on turf debut after a break, but the combination of returning to AW and dropping back in grade looks positive. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | Being a solid contender whose recent form features a C&D success under Hollie Doyle, STIPULATION is preferred. Alpine Oasis, who looks interesting back in this grade, is second choice ahead of AW debutant Imperial Trooper. Market confidence behind either of the handicap newcomers, namely King’s Hand and Arth’s Gold, should be heeded. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups (Winners-Placed-Runners): 3yo 0-2-9, 4yo+ 2-2-12. Fate of Favourites (W-L): 4-6. Trainer Records (W-P-R): Mark Loughnane 0-1-1. | |
| Assessment of Top Two | Stipulation (Strengths/Suitability): C&D winner, consistent form, preferred selection (solid contender). (Weaknesses): None evident based on recent form. | |
| Alpine Oasis (Strengths/Suitability): Previously won at Class 5 level (1m4f), benefited by returning to AW and dropping in grade. Second choice in spotlight. (Weaknesses): Was well beaten in his most recent run on turf. |
6.30 Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap (Div II) (1m 1f 104y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Flightofthephoenix (3yo, 9-9)
- Popeye Doyle (3yo, 9-6)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Flightofthephoenix: Seven-race maiden. Has shown largely encouraging form since moving to handicaps, including a good third recently at Chelmsford when upped to 1m2f. She is considered “in the mix”. | |
| Popeye Doyle: Has a recent form record of 113 since wearing cheekpieces, all runs at about 1m on AW. His latest effort indicates that this longer trip may be beneficial. Remains of interest with the headgear retained. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | With the cheekpieces retained, POPEYE DOYLE looks particularly solid. Flightofthephoenix, who gives the impression there may be a race of this nature in her, is second choice ahead of Camzara who remains open to improvement. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups (Winners-Placed-Runners): 3yo 0-2-9, 4yo+ 2-2-12. Fate of Favourites (W-L): 4-6. Trainer Records (W-P-R): Charlie Johnston 0-1-2. | |
| Assessment of Top Two | Flightofthephoenix (Strengths/Suitability): Progressive form in handicaps, with her recent third suggesting she might relish this distance (1m1f 104y). Second choice in the spotlight. (Weaknesses): Remains a maiden. | |
| Popeye Doyle (Strengths/Suitability): Strong form since applying cheekpieces (113); the longer trip should be suitable. Preferred selection, deemed “particularly solid”. (Weaknesses): Needs to prove stamina over the full distance. |
7.00 Genting Casino Wolverhampton Handicap (2m 120y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Forglen (4yo, 9-3)
- T Or Coffey (4yo, 9-4)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Forglen: Stayed on well for a credible third last time when attempting a 1m6f double, building on a Wolverhampton record of 213. Has solid claims returning to this extended trip. | |
| T Or Coffey: Ex-Irish 4yo who opened his account with a hurdles win in July on his stable debut. He is interesting back on the Flat off his current mark. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | Off an attractive mark returned to the Flat on his second outing for a new yard, T OR COFFEY may be able to follow up his hurdles win. Witch Hazel, who showed improvement upped to 2m last time, is second choice ahead of Star Of Jupiter who returns to the scene of his sole success. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups (Winners-Placed-Runners): 3yo 1-3-13, 4yo+ 4-6-39. Fate of Favourites (W-L): 5-5. Trainer Records (W-P-R): Mark Loughnane 1-0-2. | |
| Assessment of Top Two | Forglen (Strengths/Suitability): Solid claims based on consistent recent form, particularly his strong Wolverhampton record (213). (Weaknesses): Must prove he can convert places into a win at this specific distance. | |
| T Or Coffey (Strengths/Suitability): Preferred selection, attractive mark returning to the Flat after winning over hurdles. (Weaknesses): Has been focusing on hurdles recently. |
7.30 Tips For Every Race At raceday-ready.com Handicap (5f 21y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Lucky Man (6yo, 9-13)
- Level Up (6yo, 9-10)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Lucky Man: Returned to form with a comfortable 6f win here last week. Despite a 4lb rise, he remains on a good mark. The drop back to 5f is not expected to be a major problem. | |
| Level Up: Has 12 wins to his credit, the most recent being a narrow front-running victory over 5f at Chelmsford nine days ago. He is 2lb higher tonight, but is well drawn and should remain competitive. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | All seven runners have something to recommend them. Lucky Man will be popular after last week’s 6f win here but he did enjoy a dream trip that day and he now returns to 5f. Silky Robin and Woodhay Whisper noted. Focus on Maris Angel and INVINCIBLE CROWN. The selection seems a much better horse on AW and a repeat of either of his last two C&D runs would give him strong claims. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups (Winners-Placed-Runners): 3yo 2-3-22, 4yo+ 4-9-32. Fate of Favourites (W-L): 0-6. Trainer Records (W-P-R): David Evans 0-1-2, Ruth Carr 0-1-1. | |
| Assessment of Top Two | Lucky Man (Strengths/Suitability): Recent course winner (6f), still well handicapped, and the drop to 5f should not be an issue. (Weaknesses): May have benefited from a dream trip in his last outing. | |
| Level Up (Strengths/Suitability): A prolific winner (12 career wins), recent 5f winner (made all), well drawn, and highly competitive. (Weaknesses): Running 2lb higher than his last success. |
8.00 Arc £1Million Bonus Bigger Than Ever Handicap (7f 36y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Me Tarzan (3yo, 9-7)
- Simply Blue (3yo, 9-3)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Me Tarzan: Has improved for headgear this year, recording two turf wins in the summer and performing well in defeat in his last three starts. He wears a visor again (after one run in blinkers) and should be involved. | |
| Simply Blue: A 15-race maiden, but has secured second or third place in seven of those races, including his last three outings. He finished third over C&D two weeks ago and is unexposed over 7f and on Tapeta. He is considered an each-way shout. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | Me Tarzan looks solid to go well again, while handicap debutant Star Of Mali could benefit from the extra yardage. Simply Blue (second choice) ran well here last time. LOOKS FANTASTIC could be worth chancing on his second start for Mick Appleby. The return to 7f could be in his favour judged on his Southwell run eight weeks ago. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records are not explicitly provided for this specific race in the sources. | N/A |
| Assessment of Top Two | Me Tarzan (Strengths/Suitability): Consistent runner when fitted with headgear, expected to be involved. Regarded as a solid chance in the spotlight. (Weaknesses): Recent wins were on turf; needs to reproduce form on AW. | |
| Simply Blue (Strengths/Suitability): Very consistent, finishing in the money frequently. Unexposed over this distance and on Tapeta. Second choice in the spotlight. (Weaknesses): Still a 15-race maiden. |
8.30 Get Raceday Ready Handicap (1m 4f 51y(AW))
TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:
- Scarlet Sunset (3yo, 9-9)
- Telepathic (3yo, 9-10)
| Category | Details | Source(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Form & Comments | Scarlet Sunset: Boasts a 2-2 record at Wolverhampton (0-4 elsewhere). Her wins were achieved in an 8.6f maiden and a 9.5f handicap. Respectable efforts in 1m4f/1m2f handicaps in the spring. Expected to be fully effective at this trip. | |
| Telepathic: Won a 7f nursery 12 months ago and secured a 1m2f handicap win at Doncaster in July. He is a strong stayer at 1m2f. Fair efforts followed, and the drop back into Class 5 will be beneficial. | ||
| Spotlight Verdict | Telepathic isn’t bred to stay this far but he is a strong stayer at 1m2f and remains of interest dropping back down in class. Bintalina, Eupator and Twilight Safari all have a bit of untapped potential but SCARLET SUNSET (nap) is preferred. She has won both her starts at Wolverhampton, has gone well after a break in the past and remains open to improvement at this trip. | |
| Race Statistics | Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, and Trainer Records are not explicitly provided for this specific race in the sources. | N/A |
| Assessment of Top Two | Scarlet Sunset (Strengths/Suitability): Perfect record (2-2) at Wolverhampton and performs well fresh. Preferred selection (Nap), expected to improve at this distance. (Weaknesses): 0-4 record when racing outside Wolverhampton. | |
| Telepathic (Strengths/Suitability): Strong form at 1m2f, and benefits from dropping back down into Class 5 company. (Weaknesses): Stamina for the 1m4f trip must be taken on trust, as he is not strictly bred to stay this far. |
