15:37 Faucets The Bathroom Specialists Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)
We named the winnerClass 4 · 0m6f0y · Good · 5 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Eskimo Pie (8/13)
Won by: Eskimo Pie (IRE) at 4/9F
What we said: Eskimo Pie is clearly the class of this small field on that OR80 rating and looks the most likely winner, but at odds-on money there's no case here beyond the rating gap the market has already fully priced, and her formline (8-3645) shows more places than wins; Mollstar is interesting on pedigree and a leading yard but 237 days off is a genuine fitness question, and the unraced pair (Dixie Blue, Mystic Veil) are unknown quantities in a maiden that doesn't give me a clean read. Nothing here justifies real money at the price on offer.
16:07 Birthday Boy Leighton Happy 80th Handicap Stakes
PlacedClass 6 · 0m5f0y · Good · 9 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: The Coffee Pod (6/4)
Won by: Happier (IRE) at 9/2 · then The Coffee Pod (IRE), Little Jaybee (GB)
What we said: Clearly the classiest horse in this Class 6 field on PR75 (next best is PR67), and the form line 8-8-7-5-3 shows a horse steadily working into form with a competitive third last time out just 8 days ago. The 3lb claim from Ryan Kavanagh and a course-friendly yard (16% at this track, a/e 1.06) round out a tidy package for a fresh, progressive sort dropping into this modest company.
16:37 Meyer Timber EBF Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
We named the winnerClass 3 · 0m7f80y · Good · 7 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Narrjoo (11/10)
Won by: Narrjoo (IRE) at 11/10F · then Engraved (GB)
What we said: Narrjoo looks the likely winner off that solid second on debut and a red-hot Crisford yard, but at 11/10 the price already accounts for all of that, leaving no room to back it with conviction; Isabella De Vega's turf pedigree fits the good ground but her fair chance sits well below what 4/1 requires, and nothing else in this maiden stacks up enough to take a stand on.
17:10 Dandara Homes Handicap Stakes
PlacedClass 6 · 1m0f0y · Good · 10 ran
We passed. Likely winner: Angel's Call (9/2)
Won by: Oviedo (IRE) at 13/2 · then Ivat Ghia (IRE), Angel's Call (IRE)
What we said: Three runners share the same 16% mark on my book — Nammos, Angel's Call and King Of The Dance — and none does enough to separate itself: Nammos carries the topweight into a poor course record, King Of The Dance hasn't won in six starts and carries a bookie-above-exchange flag, and even Angel's Call's course-and-distance victory last time is diluted by a modest field of this type. Add Change Of Fortune and Ivat Ghia bunched close behind at 12% and this is a Class 6 lottery with no honest angle to hang money on.
17:40 Golwg Gwendraeth "Confined" Handicap Stakes (For Horses Which Have Not Won A Flat Race In 2026)
Did not winClass 5 · 1m0f0y · Good · 6 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: John Harrison (11/4)
Won by: The Stone Power (GB) at 100/30 · then Royal Bodyguard (IRE)
What we said: Steps back in trip to a mile off a career-best effort (3rd of 5 over 10f good-to-firm just 25 days ago), and his form line (82-433) shows a horse now finding the frame consistently rather than fading. The market leader Stone Power was pulled up last time out, a genuine red flag for a Flat horse, which leaves this race there for the taking among the more solid, in-form types.
18:10 Dress For The Occasions Handicap Stakes
PlacedClass 6 · 1m3f209y · Good · 6 ran
Our bet: A Daughters Love (5/4)
Won by: Belle Of Kt (GB) at 4/1 · then A Daughters Love (GB)
What we said: She arrives on the back of a genuine four-timer including form figures 311501, has already won at today's course and trip, and her damsire Nathaniel line is flagged to relish this good ground. Facing only moderate rivals in a Class 6 with none matching her recent scoring rate, she looks the one filly here on an upward curve rather than treading water.
