Fahey Stalwart Looks a Reliable Option
TADLEEL has produced his best All-Weather form at Newcastle but can follow up his latest success there in the MansionBet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap (7.15) at Wolverhampton on Friday.
Richard Fahey’s stalwart is 1lb well in despite his penalty and should get the strong pace he thrives upon with front runners Golden Force and Spartan Fighter (behind him at Gosforth Park) among his five rivals.
Charlie Fellowes’s Golden Force is well handicapped but has achieved his last three wins over further than this seven-furlongs.
Haggas Has Winning Formula
William Haggas’s filly SEA FORMULA looked a winner waiting to happen after finishing a closing second in a seven-furlong maiden at Southwell three weeks ago.
She steps up to the extended nine furlongs for her handicap debut at Wolverhampton on Friday (4.45) with the stable’s useful claimer Adam Farragher keeping the ride in this apprentice race.
An opening mark of 65 gives this sister to a 10-furlong All-Weather winner plenty of scope for improvement and I expect her to take all the beating now she’s faced with a more demanding trip.
Hannon Sprinter Has Lingfield Credentials
Richard Hannon’s filly SALITEH hasn’t enjoyed the rub of the green in two Wolverhampton sprints but can show herself in a better light in the five-furlong handicap (2.10) at Lingfield Park on Friday.
She only gave way inside the final furlong after being taken on for the lead over six at Wolverhampton last month and suffered a wide trip there the time before.
With top jockey David Probert doing the steering and a good draw in stall four, the Amo Racing filly of can take advantage of a 1lb lower mark at potentially value odds.
Jump in with Fountain and Hollie
FOUNTAIN CROSS posted a highly encouraging debut for Alan King at Wolverhampton earlier this month and can go one better in the 10f handicap (3.50) at Lingfield.
He was only denied in the shadow of the post after looking likely to hold on over a similar trip on his first start since leaving Richard Hannon.
Highly tried ass a two-year-old, the son of Muhaarar looks on a dangerous mark despite a 2lb rise with the excellent Hollie Doyle back in the saddle.
