1.15 – Unibet Horserace Betting Operator Of The Year Handicap (6f)
Handicap debutant Thomas Equinas is one to monitor closely as Dean Ivory’s charge might be capable of improvement, but EXCELING looks the one to be with in the opener.
Richard Hannon’s Exceed And Excel filly had re-opposing Marsh Benham behind in second when scoring over C&D 12 days ago and she was well in control at the line. A 4lb rise in the weights may not prevent further success.
Selection: Exceling @ 11/4
1.45 – Wise Betting At Racingtv.com Handicap (6f)
Tom Mix shaped well over this trip at Wolverhampton in July when last spotted, he’s racing from an unchanged mark now and could have more to give if ready to roll after six months off.
Sir Gregory should do better for Mick Appleby before long, while Griggy is a C&D winner previously and comes here after a good effort last time.
FROSTED ANGEL has shown potential at this trip before and the filly may outrun her odds from a decreasing mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect today.
Selection: Frosted Angel @ 13/2
2.15 – Unibet Extra Place Offers Every Day Handicap (7f)
A slow break from a wide draw surely compromised the hopes of FLORENCE STREET on first start for Lydia Richards at Chelmsford in December.
The filly might have needed that run too. She’s better drawn this afternoon and has gone closest to shedding the maiden tag at this track over a mile when trained by Andrew Balding. She could have place claims dropped to 7f.
Selection: Florence Street @ 25/1
2.45 – Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Handicap (7f)
A trio of last-time-out winners in Street Kid, Whittle Le Woods and Shoot To Kill – the last-named carrying a 5lb claim for Saturday’s Lingfield win but with Harry Davies claiming 7lb. They all merit consideration.
SIR MAXI has finished second in both starts since joining Richard Fahey, those runs over this trip at Southwell and Newcastle. He finished very well off a slow pace last time and should get his turn before long.
Selection: Sir Maxi @ 11/1
3.15 – Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Conditions Stakes (AW Championships Fast-Track Qualifier, 6f)
Filly Adaay In Asia had smart form as a 2YO and is to be monitored on return from a break, but KABOO is an improving sprinter for Karl Burke and fancied to bag this prize in making it 3-3 on all-weather surfaces.
He was pitched in at the deep end in three turf runs last summer (all Listed/Group 3 events) and acquitted himself well, bar failing to really handle the track at Glorious Goodwood in July.
He’s easily won novice events at Wolverhampton and Newcastle over 5f in September and December and this extra furlong shouldn’t worry him now.
Selection: Kaboo @ 8/13
3.45 – Racingtv.com Handicap (1m)
Amongst the tougher races to be confident about, as many of the runners have reasons to doubt them.
Shadow Angel was second at Chelmsford this month on return from an absence and must be a key player if repeating/building on that now.
RECUERDAME is closing in on 12 months since his last win – at Chelmsford over 1m2f off a mark 9lb higher than this – and has been running solid races in defeat in the last few months. Cheekpieces go back on now and he should give his running.
Selection: Recuerdame @ 15/2
4.20 – Unibet New Instant Roulette Handicap (1m4f)
Both Reset Button and BLAZER TWO have been accustomed to being silver-medallists of late, combining to finish second in their last six starts.
They both are likely to be thereabouts again and preference of for Michael Scudamore’s gelded son of Cable Bay.
The form of his efforts Wolverhampton and over C&D in November is reliable and a breakthrough is seemingly imminent if he keeps knocking on the door.
Selection: Blazer Two @ 5/2
