On October 3, 2023, two promising horses, Universal Story and Tamaris, will compete to achieve their third consecutive victories during a busy day of racing at Southwell and Brighton, broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. Both contenders will participate in the attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap at Southwell, scheduled for 19:30.
Universal Story and Tamaris Seek to Extend Winning Streaks
Universal Story, trained by Jennie Candlish, has shown remarkable improvement, winning her last two races at Newcastle and Southwell. Following her recent victory, she has been assigned a six-pound weight increase, but her last performance, where she eased down to victory, suggests she has more to offer. In contrast, Tamaris has not raced since an impressive win at Wolverhampton in April. Despite concerns about his absence from the track, this seasoned gelding could surprise fans under the guidance of the in-form James Owen.
The only other notable competitor in this race is Alfie D, who is expected to perform well based on recent form. The anticipation surrounding this race is palpable, highlighting the potential for both Universal Story and Tamaris to continue their winning momentum.
Dinah Myte and Other Key Races at Brighton
Among the other competitors, the top-rated Princess Pw remains a 10-race maiden but is dropping to a more manageable mark, making her a contender. Clipsham Noble, a course and distance winner, is also expected to challenge for victory.
In the feature race at Southwell, scheduled for 18:00, Lady Wingalong and Noel Fox will compete in the Arc £1 Million Bonus Fillies’ Handicap, which has seen a £150,000 increase in prize money. Lady Wingalong, a consistent performer with six wins in 32 races, last triumphed at Newbury in August, establishing her as a strong contender.
Noel Fox has recently transitioned from the stable of Ralph Beckett to that of Jennie Candlish, and after two solid performances, he appears to be regaining form. Additionally, Soho Square, who has only raced three times, will make her debut for trainer Ed Bethell after moving from James Fanshawe, adding an element of intrigue to the race.
As the day unfolds at Southwell and Brighton, the outcomes of these races will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of the horses involved, with Universal Story, Tamaris, and others vying for their place in the spotlight.
