1.06 Watch Weekend Winners Powered By BetVictor “Hands And Heels” Apprentice Handicap (Final) (RE Series) (Class 5)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Aighear (7yo, 8-6)
2. Yellow Star (FR) (5yo, 9-9)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Aighear	Won her last two starts at Ayr, ending a long losing sequence. She won over 1m7f on soft ground and followed up over 1m5f on heavy ground a fortnight ago. She is considered an in-form mare who is effective elsewhere and could play a leading role. The analyst suggests she is taken to land the hat-trick.
Yellow Star (FR)	Recent form is /496/5. This 5yo is a soft-ground novice hurdle winner. She returned from a break to finish a 3l fifth of 11 on the Flat at Goodwood (2m, good) 12 days ago. The comment suggests she may be able to build on that latest run and could have a part to play.

Spotlight Verdict: The mare Aighear has won in good style at Ayr on her last two starts and is taken to land the hat-trick. Trapper John kept on well over 1m6f at Catterick on Saturday and is feared most now upped further in trip, with last month’s 40-1 Bath winner Izakaya next on the list.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): 4yo+ 9-16-104.
• Fate of Favourites: 015541001.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): George Baker 1-0-2, Tony Carroll 0-1-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Aighear:
  • Strengths: Exceptional current form (two recent wins). Proven ability to handle soft and heavy ground.
  • Weaknesses: Must maintain winning streak in a potentially tougher class of race (Class 5 final).
  • Suitability: Highly suitable, particularly if the ground is soft, making her the prime selection.
• Yellow Star (FR):
  • Strengths: Previous form includes a soft-ground novice hurdle win, suggesting conditions suit. Returns from a break with a reasonable recent run.
  • Weaknesses: Needs to significantly improve on recent Flat efforts.
  • Suitability: Ground is likely suitable, and there is hope she can build on her recent run.

1.41 One Up On Football At BetVictor EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race) (Div I) (Class 4)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Chief Red Wing (IRE) (2yo, 9-7)
2. Mertoun (FR) (2yo, 9-7)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Chief Red Wing (IRE)	Form includes a seventh of 15 at Leicester (5f, good), where he was beaten less than 4l. He has the best form but has been absent since April (gelded in the interim). The Leicester form worked out well.
Mertoun (FR)	Finished a well-beaten sixth of eight on his debut at Salisbury (7f, good) three weeks ago. He was a 100,000gns yearling and was the well-backed favourite on debut. He is evidently thought capable of considerably better.

Spotlight Verdict: Chief Red Wing has the best form but has been absent since April. Mertoun was soundly beaten on his recent debut at Salisbury but was sent off favourite and remains one to be interested in. Preference is for the newcomer Needle Match from the powerful William Haggas stable. Mertoun is second choice.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): N/A (Maiden, 2yo race).
• Fate of Favourites: 322521331.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Richard Hannon 1-0-10, William Haggas 0-4-4.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Chief Red Wing (IRE):
  • Strengths: Displayed good ability on his second start, and the form line is strong.
  • Weaknesses: Significant absence since April means his condition and progress must be taken on trust.
  • Suitability: Holds the best previous form, but must overcome the layoff.
• Mertoun (FR):
  • Strengths: Clearly highly regarded (favourite on debut) and capable of major improvement.
  • Weaknesses: Poor debut performance. Unproven on soft ground (debut was on good).
  • Suitability: Remains interesting based on connections’ expectations, provided he settles and improves sharply.

2.16 One Up On Football At BetVictor EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race) (Div II) (Class 4)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Shipbourne (2yo, 9-7)
2. Not That Guy (IRE) (2yo, 9-7)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Shipbourne	Debutant. He is a Frankel colt out of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty. From a top stable (Ralph Beckett) and has a classic pedigree. He is taken to make a winning start.
Not That Guy (IRE)	Finished fifth of seven on his debut at Ascot (7f, soft) last month. He was beaten about 8l. This colt cost 480,000euros at the breeze-ups in May and is thought capable of considerably better. He is the only runner of the top two with experience.

Spotlight Verdict: Frankel colt Shipbourne is out of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty and Ralph Beckett’s contender is taken to make a winning start. Euston Hall also has potential in his pedigree and may be the chief danger ahead of Not That Guy, who was soundly beaten on debut but is the only one of these with experience.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): N/A (Maiden, 2yo race).
• Fate of Favourites: 322521331.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Richard Hannon 1-0-10, Ralph Beckett 0-1-3.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Shipbourne:
  • Strengths: Outstanding pedigree. Represents a powerful stable known for two-year-olds.
  • Weaknesses: Debutant, untested under race pressure.
  • Suitability: High expectation; considered the primary selection for a winning debut.
• Not That Guy (IRE):
  • Strengths: Has experience, including a run on soft ground. Expensive breeze-up purchase, indicating high regard.
  • Weaknesses: Debut result was underwhelming (beaten 8l).
  • Suitability: Expected to be sharper and capable of major improvement on his initial effort.

2.51 Donnington & Co. 10% Partner Offer Handicap (GBBPlus Race) (Class 3)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Fouroneohfever (IRE) (4yo, 10-4)
2. Seagolazo (IRE) (3yo, 9-9)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Fouroneohfever (IRE)	Form includes 033951. Scored easily at Catterick (1m4f, good) last Saturday, showing career-best form. He has a manageable 5lb penalty. He won on good to soft last year but is unraced on worse.
Seagolazo (IRE)	Form is 030043. His 2025 campaign has been mixed, but he ended last season with a good run on soft ground. His recent AW third was one of his better efforts. He wears retained first-time cheekpieces.

Spotlight Verdict: Fouroneohfever was impressive last week but effectiveness in the mud may well be what wins the day and Miller Spirit, last year’s winner of this race, fits the bill perfectly on that score. This renewal can therefore give three generations of the Moore family reason to celebrate. The improving Mawood is feared most, over a new trip, and Macari is also on the shortlist.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): 3yo 0-0-2, 4yo+ 1-2-9.
• Fate of Favourites: 52213.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): None provided.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Fouroneohfever (IRE):
  • Strengths: Running off a manageable penalty following a career-best performance last week.
  • Weaknesses: Suitability for very soft or heavy ground is unknown, as he is unraced on worse than good to soft.
  • Suitability: Strong contender if the ground doesn’t become testing, otherwise Miller Spirit is preferred by the spotlight.
• Seagolazo (IRE):
  • Strengths: Has proven ability to handle soft ground previously. Comes from a stable (Hugo Palmer) with good recent performance (63% runs to form in last 14 days).
  • Weaknesses: Mixed form this year.
  • Suitability: Conditions may suit, offering a potential advantage over the favourite if the ground is heavy.

3.26 Renegade Brewery Fillies’ Handicap (GBBPlus Race) (Class 4)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Day Of Grace (IRE) (3yo, 9-5)
2. Princess Rascal (3yo, 9-12)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Day Of Grace (IRE)	Won her handicap debut at Thirsk (1m, soft) in September, then followed up at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 12 days ago. She finished powerfully in both races. She carries only a 6lb penalty (due to be raised 4lb more) which gives her an excellent chance. The spotlight calls her the “best handicapped” horse.
Princess Rascal	Won a Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good) three weeks ago. She has run only five times and is second on her only run on soft ground. She failed when trying 1m4f on her AW debut, but could have more to offer.

Spotlight Verdict: There are questions to be answered by quite a few of these if the ground is indeed soft or heavy, but Day Of Grace (nap) flew home for a 1m win on soft going last month and followed up in thoroughly assured fashion when she was stepped up to 1m2f on good ground 12 days ago. Under just a penalty, she looks the best handicapped on recent form. Concert Party, another improving 3yo who scored on soft two runs back, is a clear second on the list.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): 3yo 7-11-61, 4yo+ 2-7-33.
• Fate of Favourites: 511052213.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): William Haggas 3-1-6, Roger Varian 0-1-3.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Day Of Grace (IRE):
  • Strengths: Highly progressive and proven winner on soft ground. Outstanding opportunity due to the advantageous handicap mark imposed by the penalty structure. Designated NAP.
  • Weaknesses: None apparent given current form and expected conditions.
  • Suitability: Highly suitable; clear chance based on recent performance and handicap position.
• Princess Rascal:
  • Strengths: Still lightly raced (five runs) suggesting further improvement is possible. Proven form on soft ground (second place).
  • Weaknesses: Failed on AW debut when attempting 1m4f.
  • Suitability: Good opportunity if she continues to progress; ground conditions are acceptable based on previous soft run.

4.01 Join Hot To Trot For 2026 EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race) (Class 4)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Bnaider (2yo, 9-4)
2. Electrical (2yo, 9-11)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Bnaider	Form is 44. Kept on well for fourth on debut (7.3f, good) but failed to settle on his second start (7f, AW). The step up to 1m is expected to be a plus.
Electrical	Form is 18. Won at 25-1 on debut here (6f, good to firm) in July. Ran last in a Listed race (7f, good) last month. He runs under a penalty but drops back in grade. He is bred to be suited by the step up to 1m.

Spotlight Verdict: William Haggas saddles two interesting newcomers in King Of Earth and OATHBOUND and the last-named could come out on top under Tom Marquand. His stablemate is feared most but there are a few other dangers, including 480,000euros breeze-up purchase Norman Invasion on his second start. Course winner Electrical and the debutant Gonna Fly could also go well.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): N/A (Novice, 2yo race).
• Fate of Favourites: 331441231.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Ralph Beckett 3-0-10, Hughie Morrison 1-0-5, Ed Walker 0-1-5, William Haggas 0-1-6.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Bnaider:
  • Strengths: Progress expected with the increase in trip to 1m. Stable (H. Charlton) is in good recent form (45% runners ran to form in last 14 days).
  • Weaknesses: Refused to settle on his second start.
  • Suitability: Potential for a better performance at this distance.
• Electrical:
  • Strengths: Course winner (6f). Bred to appreciate the longer distance. Drops significantly in class after facing listed company.
  • Weaknesses: Carries a penalty. Finished last recently.
  • Suitability: Respected due to class drop and breeding, despite recent form dip.

4.35 Saturday Super Boost At BetVictor Handicap (Class 3)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Telemark (IRE) (4yo, 9-12)
2. Kings Lynn (8yo, 9-7)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Telemark (IRE)	Recent form is 747564. He is well suited by slow ground. His last two runs were promising, finishing strongly at Newcastle after meeting trouble. He is considered attractively handicapped and is “high on the list”.
Kings Lynn	Recent form is 163205. He ended his lengthy losing run by winning a 7f handicap in July. He ran creditably in a hot 6f handicap at York two weeks ago. He is considered one to consider back down into Class 3 company.

Spotlight Verdict: Uncle Don’s stamina is still to be proven but he is on a good mark and there were promising signs at Haydock on his penultimate start. Glenfinnan ran well in Ireland last time and can go well, while Bold Impact (second choice) is interesting with a promising reappearance under his belt. TELEMARK looks handicapped to win again now though and he can build on the promise of last month’s Newcastle fourth.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): 3yo 2-7-31, 4yo+ 4-5-49.
• Fate of Favourites: 203402.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Ralph Beckett 1-1-4, Michael Appleby 0-1-2, Richard Fahey 0-1-1, Richard Hannon 0-1-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Telemark (IRE):
  • Strengths: Highly suitable for slow ground. Appears exceptionally well handicapped and is running into form. Highlighted as the selection to win.
  • Weaknesses: None specified.
  • Suitability: High suitability for conditions and mark; major chance.
• Kings Lynn:
  • Strengths: Recent winner; performed creditably in higher-class races. Expected to benefit from dropping back to Class 3.
  • Weaknesses: None specified.
  • Suitability: A genuine contender due to class relief and recent competitive performance.

5.10 West Berkshire Racing Club Handicap (Class 3)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

1. Maelstrom (3yo, 9-5)
2. Showering (3yo, 9-10)

Horse	Recent Form & Comments Summary
Maelstrom	Form is 3-1117. He won his first three handicaps (6f on good/quicker ground) and traveled well in a competitive 3yo sprint at York when trying for the four-timer. Analyst states his suitability for soft ground has to be taken on trust.
Showering	Recent form is 417303. His progress had stalled after a Chester win in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, despite not getting a clear run until late. He runs off the same mark but must also prove himself on soft ground.

Spotlight Verdict: Last year’s winner Knebworth has plenty to recommend him but the best pace looks to be drawn low so stall 14 is a potential query. Maelstrom has to prove himself on the ground but he still has potential, while Charlie Mason and Sergeant Pep could also feature. WOVEN‘s profile doesn’t smack of an obvious one to record back-to-back wins but he will relish the conditions, comes here in top form and should find this being run to suit. He can extend his good run of form since cheekpieces have returned.

Race Statistics:

• Age Groups (w-pl-r): 3yo 1-5-28, 4yo+ 6-10-62.
• Fate of Favourites: 1001005.
• Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Clive Cox 1-1-4, Richard Hughes 1-1-3, William Haggas 1-0-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances:

• Maelstrom:
  • Strengths: Highly capable when winning three handicaps earlier in the season. Retains potential at his current mark.
  • Weaknesses: Unknown factor regarding performance on soft ground.
  • Suitability: Potential major player, but dependent on ground conditions being acceptable.
• Showering:
  • Strengths: Returned to form last time and runs off an unchanged mark, offering value. Represents the in-form W. Haggas yard (71% runs to form in last 14 days).
  • Weaknesses: Must prove suitability for soft ground.
  • Suitability: Good chance if he handles the surface.
