Kempton Park Race Analysis (03.11.25)

1.00 Unibet 40,000+ Live Streamed Events Handicap (Class 6) 1m(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. Jazz Scene (6/4)
  2. Midsummer Music (7/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • Jazz Scene (4yo): Has hit form recently with cheekpieces fitted, winning twice on Tapeta at Southwell in September/October. He is up 3lb and is seeking a hat-trick. He must be considered if he is as effective returning to Polytrack.
  • Midsummer Music (5yo): Won over C&D last December in first-time cheekpieces off a 1lb lower mark. He has run creditably since, including a turf win at Chepstow in August. He drops back in grade following two fair efforts and holds claims.

Spotlight Verdict
JAZZ SCENE (nap) has hit form in the headgear (cheekpieces) to win twice recently at Southwell and is selected to land the hat-trick here. The main danger is Flag Carrier, followed by course winner and reliable sort Midsummer Music. The inconsistent Super Hit holds claims, and Mbappe could run well back up in trip.

Race Statistics

  • Age Groups: 3yo 3-9-43, 4yo+ 7-11-68.
  • Fate of Favourites: 0242026415.
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Mark Loughnane 1-0-3, Roger Teal 0-1-2, Tony Carroll 0-2-7.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • Jazz Scene: Strengths: Highly in-form, boosted by cheekpieces, seeking hat-trick. Weaknesses: Up 3lb, effectiveness back on Polytrack needs confirmation. Suitability: Clear claims based on recent success, provided the surface switch doesn’t hinder progress.
  • Midsummer Music: Strengths: Proven C&D winner, dropping back in grade, generally reliable sort. Weaknesses: Has run creditable efforts but hasn’t won recently on AW. Suitability: A solid second choice with proven track success.

1.30 British EBF Future Stayers Maiden Stakes (Class 4) 1m(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. Alderman (14/1)
  2. Upsomdowns (14/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • Alderman (2yo): Was slowly away on his Sandown debut (7f, soft) in August, finishing seventh of ten. He is nicely bred, with the potential for better form, especially over longer trips. He switches to AW following a break of nearly ten weeks.
  • Upsomdowns (2yo): Built on his opening Lingfield effort by finishing a respectable fourth over 7f here less than four weeks ago (at 125-1). He needs to take a sizeable step forward to feature, though handicaps will soon become an option.

Spotlight Verdict
This is an interesting stayers maiden more about the future than the present. Godolphin are represented by Nation’s Hope (preferred based on riding arrangements) and Naqada King. Andrew Balding runs Al Khawaaneej and Roman Quest. The tentative pick is John & Thady Gosden’s LEIGHTON.

Race Statistics

  • Fate of Favourites: 2122.
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Charlie Appleby 1-1-2, Ralph Beckett 1-2-5, Andrew Balding 0-1-3, John & Thady Gosden 0-1-3.
  • Age Groups: Race is restricted to 2yo horses.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • Alderman: Strengths: Nicely bred to improve over distance, switching to AW. Weaknesses: Poor debut effort where he broke slowly. Suitability: Needs market support to suggest readiness on return.
  • Upsomdowns: Strengths: Showed improvement on his second start. Weaknesses: Requires a significant step forward in class to compete, form suggests he may be ready for handicaps. Suitability: Likely needs more time or easier competition.

2.00 Unibet/British EBF Novice Stakes (Class 4) 1m(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. Hard Endeavor (4/6)
  2. Rastnet (6/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • Hard Endeavor (3yo): Sets the standard on form. He finished third in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket and third in a novice at Doncaster earlier this year (form which worked out very well). He is a half-brother to an AW winner in France. He returns after five months off.
  • Rastnet (3yo): Showed plenty of promise on his C&D debut last month, finishing fifth of 11 despite starting at 250-1 (the winner has won again since). He is a contender if he progresses from that initial performance.

Spotlight Verdict
Rastnet belied her huge odds on debut and should be in the picture. However, HARD ENDEAVOR (nap) sets quite a high standard on his two third-place finishes on turf earlier in the year and is expected to make a successful return.

Race Statistics

  • No specific race statistics (Age Groups, Fate of Favourites, Trainer Records) provided in the sources for this particular race.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • Hard Endeavor: Strengths: Sets a high form standard, proven on turf (1m), strong pedigree link to AW winner. Weaknesses: Returning from a five-month absence. Suitability: Expected to win and is the preferred choice (nap).
  • Rastnet: Strengths: Promising C&D debut run, immediate form boost from the winner of that race. Weaknesses: Needs substantial progression to match the favourite’s form. Suitability: A serious player if capable of improvement.

2.30 Bet £20 Get £20 With Unibet Handicap (Class 2) 7f(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. Back In Black (4/1)
  2. Superposition (5/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • Back In Black (3yo): Consistent on turf, including two wins over 7f. He was a close second at Goodwood (1m, good) last month and may have been unfortunate not to win. This is his AW debut, and his stable won this race last year with a 3yo.
  • Superposition (4yo): Consistent on AW (311242), including a win here over 1m. He finished a close second last time behind Witch Hunter at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta). This easier 7f distance may suit him well.

Spotlight Verdict
The vote goes to the consistent BACK IN BLACK (nap), whose stable won this with a 3yo last year. The unexposed Sarab Star and Superposition are worth a second look.

Race Statistics

  • Age Groups: 3yo 2-4-7, 4yo+ 2-3-27.
  • Fate of Favourites: 1111.
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): James Fanshawe 1-0-1, Clive Cox 0-1-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • Back In Black: Strengths: Consistent form, potentially unlucky recently, stable history in this specific race. Weaknesses: AW debut. Suitability: Top choice (nap), anticipated to handle the surface switch based on pedigree and form.
  • Superposition: Strengths: Excellent and consistent AW form, C&D winner (at 1m), easier 7f expected to suit. Weaknesses: None critical identified, ran second last time. Suitability: Highly regarded second choice; should be closely involved.

3.00 Unibet Floodlit Stakes (Listed Race) (Class 1) 1m 3f 219y(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. High Stock (11/4)
  2. Shader (5/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • High Stock (3yo): Has run well in two of his three starts since winning his debut. Most recently, he finished fourth in a Goodwood Listed event. He is a half-brother to a Polytrack winner and is expected to stay 1m4f. The last three runnings of this race have been won by a 3yo.
  • Shader (4yo): 2-2 in AW novices last year, including a C&D win. After being gelded, he ran a close third in a competitive Haydock handicap in May. He is unexposed, returning after five months off, and is expected to still improve.

Spotlight Verdict
The unexposed pair are Shader and HIGH STOCK (nap). Slight preference goes to Andrew Balding’s colt, High Stock, as he should have no problem with the longer trip or the surface, being a half-brother to a dual Polytrack winner.

Race Statistics

  • Age Groups: 3yo 4-3-19, 4yo+ 6-11-56.
  • Fate of Favourites: 3105510121.
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): John & Thady Gosden 2-0-2, K R Burke 0-1-1, Saeed bin Suroor 0-2-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • High Stock: Strengths: Unexposed and potential for improvement, strong pedigree supporting 1m4f and AW surface, age profile favours recent race history (3yo). Weaknesses: None critical identified. Suitability: Top choice (nap), expected to go well.
  • Shader: Strengths: Proven C&D winner (novice), good run in high-quality handicap earlier this year, remains unexposed. Weaknesses: Returning from a five-month break. Suitability: Strong contender, anticipated to be the main threat.

3.30 Unibet London Middle Distance Series (Final) Handicap (Class 2) 1m 2f 219y(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. The Glen Rovers (7/2)
  2. Andaleep (15/2)

Recent Form and Comments

  • The Glen Rovers (6yo): Possesses an excellent record in AW handicaps (1131141) and won this race last year. Weaknesses: He is 19lb higher than his winning mark last year, not as well drawn this time, and returns from an eight-month layoff. The market will be informative.
  • Andaleep (9yo): Ran a big race when second in this event last year, despite being 0-15 at Kempton. He races from only 3lb higher than that effort.

Spotlight Verdict
Last year’s winner The Glen Rovers has a great AW record but returns from eight months off. The vote goes to the topweight TEUMESSIAS FOX (nap), who is 3-3 in handicaps around here.

Race Statistics

  • Age Groups: 3yo 1-3-10, 4yo+ 4-6-43.
  • Fate of Favourites: 31211.
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Andrew Balding 1-1-3, Lucy Wadham 1-0-1, Daniel & Claire Kubler 0-2-3, Ralph Beckett 0-1-2.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • The Glen Rovers: Strengths: Proven winner of this race, excellent overall AW record. Weaknesses: Significant rise in weights (19lb), wide draw, long layoff (8 months). Suitability: Fitness and weight are major queries; market confidence is key.
  • Andaleep: Strengths: Proven competence in this race (2nd last year). Weaknesses: Poor overall track record (0-15), races slightly higher in weight than last year’s effort. Suitability: Expected to run well, but perhaps vulnerable for the win.

4.00 Try Unibet’s New Improved Acca Boosts Handicap (Class 5) 7f(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. Dandy G Boy (5/2)
  2. Red Mirage (4/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • Dandy G Boy (3yo): Has won 2 of 3 starts on the AW since joining his current yard. His latest success was over C&D 19 days ago. Weaknesses: 3lb higher in a better race.
  • Red Mirage (7yo): Has a good course record (1132). He runs off the exact same mark as when finishing second over C&D 19 days ago, suggesting he should go well again.

Spotlight Verdict
The choice is four-time C&D winner ARCTICIAN (nap), who should appreciate the return to these conditions back down in grade. Red Mirage has a good record and should go well again, while Dandy G Boy is respected despite the 3lb rise.

Race Statistics

  • Age Groups: 3yo 1-1-7, 4yo+ 1-3-16.
  • Fate of Favourites: 15.
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Eve Johnson Houghton 0-1-1.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • Dandy G Boy: Strengths: Recent C&D winner, in excellent current form. Weaknesses: Facing a better race off a higher weight. Suitability: Holds strong claims and is a respected challenger.
  • Red Mirage: Strengths: Excellent course form (1132), racing off a competitive mark following a recent C&D second. Weaknesses: None critical identified. Suitability: Expected to be strongly involved, rated closely with the winner.

4.30 Try Unibet’s Smartview Racecards Handicap (Class 6) 1m 3f 219y(AW)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated:

  1. Electric Bass (7/2)
  2. Oman (5/1)

Recent Form and Comments

  • Electric Bass (3yo): He is 0-8 but ran well on his last AW start (Wolverhampton) when chasing home a triple subsequent winner. He has been placed in his last three turf starts, including a close second at Windsor. He is respected, even with a 2lb rise.
  • Oman (7yo): Looked to be returning to form when finishing second at Wolverhampton (8.6f) nine days ago. He is fine with the longer trip and is respected now down to Class 6.

Spotlight Verdict
The selection is ELECTRIC BASS (nap), who ran well the last time he raced on the AW and was runner-up in a big field at Windsor in September. Oman (second choice) is high on the list now down in grade and suitable trip.

Race Statistics

  • Age Groups: 3yo 0-0-2, 4yo+ 1-2-10.
  • Fate of Favourites: 4162103 (general stats for race type/course, only one recorded SP entry for this specific race).
  • Trainer Records (w-pl-r): Only one race winner in the figures shown, Trainer record not explicitly provided.

Assessment of Top Two Chances

  • Electric Bass: Strengths: Good recent form (placed last three starts), ran creditably on last AW start. Weaknesses: Still a maiden (0-8), slightly increased weight. Suitability: Top choice (nap) due to progressive form and potential over the distance/surface.
  • Oman: Strengths: Recent second suggests a return to form, drops in class, comfortable with the longer trip. Weaknesses: None critical identified. Suitability: Strong contender and preferred second choice.
