1.30 PricedUp.Bet EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (1m 75y, Class 5)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Oratorical	2	Billy Loughnane	D Loughnane
Charlotte Corday	2	Kieran Shoemark	E Walker

Recent Form and Comments

• Oratorical: Was runner-up at 50-1 on his debut at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in July. He showed similar form when third at Chester (7f, good) 15 days later. He has been absent since and is set to return on slower ground, but the trip is expected to suit him.
• Charlotte Corday: Demonstrated inexperience on her debut last month at Pontefract (1m, good to soft). She improved on that outing when achieving a close third place at Leicester (1m, good to soft) recently. She is considered a possible player who could continue to progress.

Spotlight Verdict

Oratorical was placed in July on his two starts and has the best form, but he is likely to be on different ground following a break so there are reasons to look elsewhere. Gaelic Approach and Charlotte Corday showed promise on their second starts, while Montague Menace (second choice) now has a more feasible assignment, but this could go to BRIDGE OF EAGLES. He is from a family his connections have done well with and there was a hint of promise in his debut fifth at Salisbury.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: The race is exclusively for 2yo horses.
• Fate of Favourites: Not provided in the source material for this course/race type.
• Trainer Records (GF-Hd/Good/GS-Hvy/Distance): David Loughnane 0-0-0 / 0-0-0 / 0-0-0 / 0-0-0; Ed Walker 0-0-0 / 0-0-0 / 0-2-7 / 0-2-7.
• Trainer 14-day performance: David Loughnane 29%; Ed Walker 62%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Oratorical:
  • Strengths: Holds the best form (RPR 81) based on his two placings in July. The distance of 1m 75y is likely to suit him.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: He returns from an absence since July and will be switching to softer ground, which is untested territory for him.
• Charlotte Corday:
  • Strengths: She is displaying progression, finishing a close third in her most recent start.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: She needs to overcome her relative inexperience demonstrated on debut.

2.00 PricedUp Nursery Handicap (6f 18y, Class 5)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Up The Agenda	2	Rob Hornby	J Morland
Startled	2	Billy Loughnane	R Hughes

Recent Form and Comments

• Up The Agenda: After being gelded, he was sent off favourite and won his nursery debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last month by a neck. He hit the front over 1f out last time and is now back down to 6f. He is a key player off a 2lb rise and wears first-time cheekpieces.
• Startled: Achieved third place on his nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in August. He followed this up with a close fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW), which earned him extra credit for racing wide in the front rank.

Spotlight Verdict

Having endured a wide trip in the front rank at Lingfield last month, STARTLED did well to cling on for a close fourth and can get off the mark today. Madman was second of 14 at Leicester recently with the visor applied and is second choice ahead of last month’s Yarmouth winner Up The Agenda. Mad Unicorn and nursery newcomer Archangel Josepi could also go well.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: The race is exclusively for 2yo horses.
• Fate of Favourites: Not provided in the source material.
• Trainer Records (Previous Best Result): J Morland 1-172 (GS-Hvy); R Hughes 0-359 (Distance).
• Trainer 14-day performance: J Morland 50%; R Hughes 46%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Up The Agenda:
  • Strengths: Recent winning form in a nursery. Carries a small penalty (68 OR). The step back to 6f is likely fine.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Has not raced on ground officially softer than good to soft.
• Startled:
  • Strengths: Showed good form on AW despite adversity (wide trip). Expected to get off the mark according to the Spotlight Verdict.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: His most promising recent efforts have been on AW, so the return to turf may pose a question.

2.30 PricedUp Daily Sports Boosts Handicap (6f 18y, Class 5)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Bill Plumb	6	Billy Loughnane	Phil McEntee
Safari Dream	5	Lewis Edmunds	B Millman

Recent Form and Comments

• Bill Plumb: Is a prominent racer. He has been successful in two of his last three starts, both over 6f at Yarmouth. He handles good to soft ground. He is 3lb wrong under his penalty and wears first-time cheekpieces.
• Safari Dream: He achieved a hat-trick earlier in the year. He is only 1lb higher than for the third leg of his hat-trick and performed creditably at Salisbury three weeks ago. He handles heavy ground and would not be inconvenienced if heavy rain occurs.

Spotlight Verdict

A big field but many of the runners come here with a fair bit to prove. Tim Easterby holds a strong hand courtesy of last year’s winner Bay Breeze and the well-handicapped Count D’Orsay, while Safari Dream is another to consider. Mud-lover TIRIAC (nap) will also relish the conditions and he is given another chance to confirm the promise of his eyecatching Beverley run last month.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: 3yo 0-1-2; 4yo+ 1-1-6.
• Fate of Favourites: Favourites have won 1 out of 2 instances cited.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R): Tim Easterby 1-0-1; Rod Millman 0-1-1.
• Trainer 14-day performance: Phil McEntee 63%; B Millman 17%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Bill Plumb:
  • Strengths: Recent impressive winning form. Trainer Phil McEntee has a 63% rate in the last 14 days.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: He is 3lb wrong under the penalty. Needs to prove his effectiveness on ground slower than good to soft.
• Safari Dream:
  • Strengths: Proven ability to handle heavy ground, which is advantageous given the soft rating. Back on a good mark (just 1lb higher than hat-trick third leg).
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Trainer Brian Millman has a lower 14-day performance rate (17%).

3.00 Download The PricedUp App Handicap (2m 1f 208y, Class 5)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Action Pact	4	Joanna Mason	M & D Easterby
Trojan Sun	5	Lauren Young (7)	J Goldie

Recent Form and Comments

• Action Pact: Got off the mark on his latest outing at Pontefract (2m2f, soft). He travelled well last time, and as a lightly raced 4yo, he may have more left in the tank.
• Trojan Sun: Has three wins this year at Musselburgh (up to 2m, good). He went close at Ayr (1m5f, soft) last month. He is respected despite running under a penalty.

Spotlight Verdict

This could be between the thriving 3yos BOTH OF US and Rupert The Prince. They both impressed last time but Both Of Us earns the vote given the manner in which he powered clear over 2m at Newcastle. Fellow 3yo Ashdown Forest could be suited by the marathon trip and is next on the list ahead of recent Pontefract winner Action Pact.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: The race includes 3yo+ horses. No specific breakdown is provided in the source material.
• Fate of Favourites: Not provided in the source material.
• Trainer Records (Previous Best Result): M & D Easterby 1-378 (GS-Hvy); J Goldie 4-1477 (Good).
• Trainer 14-day performance: M & D Easterby 74%; J Goldie 38%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Action Pact:
  • Strengths: Recent winner on soft ground over a similar distance. Lightly raced and expected to improve. Trainer M & D Easterby has a 74% rate in the last 14 days.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Faces strong competition from progressive 3yos like Both Of Us, who is the Spotlight selection.
• Trojan Sun:
  • Strengths: Multiple winner this year, proven over 2m. Effective on soft ground.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Running under a penalty, which must be overcome.

3.30 PricedUp.Bet Handicap (1m 75y, Class 6)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Wrydcroft	3	Rose Dawes (5)	Mrs P Sly
Poet’s Dawn	10	Jake Dickson (7)	T Easterby

Recent Form and Comments

• Wrydcroft: Has won his last two starts. He won his handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last month and followed up easily under Rose Dawes there a fortnight ago. He is a progressive 3yo.
• Poet’s Dawn: Is a C&D winner. He is only 1lb higher than when he won at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month. His form has excuses in three starts since, and he could play a big part if soft ground prevails.

Spotlight Verdict

Wrydcroft and Oilisa are 3yos with recent winning form who could have more to offer. This may turn into a test of stamina on the ground, which narrowly tips preference the way of heavy-ground 1m winner OILISA. Very testing conditions would also play to the strengths of Mapledurham, while Poet’s Dawn and Charming Fellow are others to consider.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: 3yo 0-1-6; 4yo+ 1-1-6.
• Fate of Favourites: Favourites have won 1 out of 2 instances cited.
• Trainer Records (Previous Best Result): Mrs P Sly 2-274 (GS-Hvy); T Easterby 3-2979 (GF-Hd).
• Trainer 14-day performance: Mrs P Sly 0%; T Easterby 47%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Wrydcroft:
  • Strengths: Highly progressive 3yo arriving on a two-win streak. Breeding suggests he should handle the step up in distance.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Faces a significant 10lb rise in weight. Unproven on ground softer than good to soft.
• Poet’s Dawn:
  • Strengths: Proven C&D winner who performs well on soft ground. Currently well handicapped relative to his last winning mark.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: 10yo veteran with patchy form since his last win.

4.00 PricedUp Handicap (Div I) (1m 6f, Class 5)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Spartan Times	4	William Pyle (3)	J Candlish
Hebridean Nomad	4	Jason Watson	A Balding

Recent Form and Comments

• Spartan Times: Has four Flat wins since June (1m2f/1m3f, good/good to soft). He is very much on the up.
• Hebridean Nomad: A lightly raced 4yo. He returned from a break three weeks ago and kept on for fourth place at Salisbury (1m6f, good) on his turf debut. Expected to appreciate the slower ground and greater test of stamina.

Spotlight Verdict

Karthala could relish the step up in trip but this could go to another 3yo in WESTLAIN, who stayed on strongly for a close third over 11.6f at Lingfield in June. Fast ground may not have suited at Newbury the following month. Sawgrass retains potential and is third choice, while Spartan Times needs to prove his stamina but has been prolific this season.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: 3yo 0-0-2; 4yo+ 1-2-12.
• Fate of Favourites: Favourites have won 1 out of 2 instances cited.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R): Gary & Josh Moore 0-1-1.
• Trainer 14-day performance: J Candlish 31%; A Balding 74%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Spartan Times:
  • Strengths: Prolific winning form this season (four Flat wins). Very progressive.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: He is untested on soft or heavy ground and his stamina for 1m6f is unproven.
• Hebridean Nomad:
  • Strengths: Lightly raced 4yo with scope for improvement. Anticipated to perform better on slower ground over a staying trip. Trainer Andrew Balding has a 74% rate in the last 14 days.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Only managed fourth on his recent turf debut.

4.32 PricedUp Handicap (Div II) (1m 6f, Class 5)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Swinging London	7	Warren Fentiman (5)	J Mackie
Ethelwulf	3	Robert Havlin	J & T Gosden

Recent Form and Comments

• Swinging London: Won a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last week. A 4lb penalty leaves him 1lb well in. He is a strong stayer and handles testing ground.
• Ethelwulf: His best effort yet was a second place on his handicap debut at Yarmouth ten days ago (extended 1m3f). The new, longer trip (1m6f) is expected to be in his favour.

Spotlight Verdict

Bowling Shane and Ethelwulf are 3yos with the potential for better, while Vulcan Way has been threatening and Flash Bardot and Cormier are on dangerous marks. SWINGING LONDON is a strong stayer who handles testing ground and he may be able to defy a penalty and register a first Flat win on turf.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: 3yo 0-0-2; 4yo+ 1-2-12.
• Fate of Favourites: Favourites have won 1 out of 2 instances cited.
• Trainer Records (W-PL-R): Brian Ellison 1-0-1.
• Trainer 14-day performance: J Mackie 50%; J & T Gosden 72%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Swinging London:
  • Strengths: Recent winner and currently running 1lb well in. Proven strong stayer who handles testing ground.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Still seeking his first Flat turf success.
• Ethelwulf:
  • Strengths: Progressive 3yo with potential for further improvement. Coming off his best effort (second place) and the increase in distance suits him. Trainer J & T Gosden has a 72% rate in the last 14 days.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Was beaten roughly 5l in second place last time.

5.05 PricedUp The Flat Handicap (1m 2f 50y, Class 6)

Top Two Rated (TimeWise Master)	Horse Age	Jockey	Trainer
Velvet Whisper	3	Archie Young (5)	E Bethell
Sweet Kiss	3	Jake Dickson (7)	T Easterby

Recent Form and Comments

• Velvet Whisper: Returned to form when finishing second of 11 at Redcar 19 days ago, which was her first attempt at 1m2f (good to soft). She could have more to come over this distance.
• Sweet Kiss: Has been thriving recently, winning 1m2f handicaps at Doncaster, Leicester and Pontefract. Her fourth place at Newcastle last time was in a Class 4 race, so she should be a more potent force returning to this Class 6 level.

Spotlight Verdict

Velvet Whisper, Chambers and Princess Amber are 3yos with something to recommend them while Sweet Kiss, another from that age group, has been thriving in recent months and should appreciate the return to Class 6 company. FREDDY ROBINSON is vastly more experienced and comes here on a losing run but he is usually seen in stronger company and won’t mind either the trip, track or going.

Race Statistics

• Age Groups: The race includes 3yo+ horses. No specific breakdown is provided in the source material.
• Fate of Favourites: Not provided in the source material.
• Trainer Records (Previous Best Result): E Bethell 0-273 (Good); T Easterby 3-574 (GS-Hvy).
• Trainer 14-day performance: E Bethell 53%; T Easterby 47%.

Assessment of Top Two

• Velvet Whisper:
  • Strengths: Showed improved form on her first try at 1m2f. Retains scope for improvement over this distance. Trainer Ed Bethell has a 53% rate in the last 14 days.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: Slower ground will increase the emphasis on stamina.
• Sweet Kiss:
  • Strengths: Thriving 3yo with three recent 1m2f handicap wins. Drops back down to Class 6, where she should excel.
  • Weaknesses/Suitability: None explicitly noted for this class and trip.
