Tuesday 29 September 2026 ·6 runners KTB Selection: Izenterisky (A) · 65/100

This 1m2f Carbonnetzero Handicap Stakes for Arab horses at Bath brings together a small but rather unexposed field of six where recent form is thin and several runners are tackling the trip for the first time. The KTB Fit ratings are tightly bunched, headed by Izenterisky on 65, with the remainder ranging from 58 down to 44, underlining the limited data confidence across the race. Conditions are standard for the time of year and the race looks open on paper, with course and distance experience at a premium.

How the race shapes up

With no confirmed front-runners declared, the pace shape is expected to be on the steady side early on, potentially turning into a tactical affair where positioning from the draw will matter. Izenterisky from stall 3 and Jeewan from stall 1 are both likely to be ridden for a handy spot, while those drawn higher may have to work harder to secure a good early position. The key question is whether the race will develop into a test of stamina late on or whether the leaders can dictate matters from the front in a slowly-run contest.

The KTB Fit ranking

  1. 1Izenterisky (A) KTB Selection65/100

    Form 71-4 · P Collington · Dougie Costello

    Izenterisky is an 11-year-old with very limited recent activity and low data confidence overall. His recent form reads 71-4 and he arrives here as a course and distance winner who is proven on this going at this track. Connections are operating in modest territory with the trainer having no Bath record from two runs overall and the jockey holding a 6% strike rate at the venue from 124 rides. The pedigree and sales background provide the main pointers in what is otherwise a profile short on hard facts.

  2. 2Zayin Sentinel58/100

    Form 76326 · P Collington · Kieran O'Neill

    Zayin Sentinel brings a modest recent form line of 76326 and has had only one run in the last year, so the overall picture remains unclear. This 4-year-old steps up in trip to 1m2f for the first time today which asks a fresh question of him. The trainer has no recorded runners at Bath while Kieran O'Neill holds a 10% strike rate from 388 rides here. He is entitled to improve for the extra distance but has plenty to prove on what is currently known.

  3. 3Pharitz Lahia50/100

    Form -53255 · Mrs B Aashour · Silvestre De Sousa

    Pharitz Lahia has shown mixed form in five starts this year, finishing second on one occasion but otherwise struggling to land a blow. This 6-year-old steps up to 1m2f having last run over 1m, so the trip is another fresh question. Silvestre De Sousa brings a solid 21% strike rate from 199 rides at Bath while the trainer has no recorded runners at the track. He remains an each-way possibility if the extra furlongs bring about the required improvement.

  4. 4Jeewan47/100

    Form 1-5532 · Barry Brennan · George Bass

    Jeewan showed a win on debut but his recent form of 1-5532 has otherwise been largely modest. This 10-year-old is lightly raced with only two runs in the last year and is now stepping up in trip to 1m2f for the first time, so he is very much an unknown quantity. The trainer records a 5% strike rate from 21 runs at Bath while the jockey is on 7% from 70 rides here. Draw one could be an advantage if he can secure an economical trip.

  5. 5Sassy46/100

    Form -53564 · Steve Blackwell · Isobelle Chalmers(7)

    Sassy has shown modest form in five runs this year with a string of placed efforts mixed with below-par finishes. This 8-year-old steps up in trip today for the first time which asks a fresh question of her. The jockey has a 0% strike rate from 14 rides at Bath while the trainer has no recorded runs here.

  6. 6Zayin Zikario44/100

    Form 4 · Tim Vaughan · Mr Laurie Gallacher(7)

    Zayin Zikario is a lightly raced 4-year-old who showed only modest form when fourth on debut over 1m. He steps up in trip today which asks a fresh question of him. The trainer has a modest 5% strike rate from 21 runs at Bath while the jockey has no recorded rides here.

KTB verdict

Izenterisky is named the KTB Selection. His proven course and distance record stands out in a field where so many others are unproven at the trip or short of recent match practice. The 11-year-old brings the highest KTB Fit rating and the only C&D winning form on offer, which could prove decisive if he can translate limited recent activity into a competitive effort. Main dangers are likely to come from Zayin Sentinel and Pharitz Lahia if either improves for the longer distance, while Jeewan cannot be entirely ruled out from his inside draw.
