TROTTER IS SO CUSHTY

Betsey worth a flutter now back to winning ways

BETSEY TROTTER is fancied to capitalise on a last-timeout return to form to lift the British Stallion Studs EBF Premier Fillies’ Handicap (2.25) at Newmarket.

When David O’Meara’s daughter of Camacho finds her mojo, she hangs on to it – as when completing a hat- trick of successes in the summer of last year.

Harry Bentley’s mount competes from a British Horseracing Authority handicap mark of 86 after a 6lb rise for her 25- 1 victory in a six-furlong contest at Thirsk 20 days ago.

But Betsey Trotter scored from that rating at Wolverhampton last

October and, impervious to ground, looks sure to give another good account here.

As Betsey Trotter was rediscovering her winning touch in James Herriot country, LA BARROSA made an impressive his start to his career at Ascot and Charlie Appleby’s colt should take the beating in the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes (3.00).

The 750,000- guinea purchase justified 2- 1 favouritism with a stylish length-and-a-quarter beating of Derab and there is plenty more where that came from.

Appleby and Will Buick team up with GHOSTWATCH, who can prove more than a match for market leaders Mildenberger and Withhold in the Listed Jockey Club Rose Bowl Stakes (3.35). He built on a Lingfield Park novice win with a follow-up in on his handicap bow here at the end of August, and LOST IN SPACE has solid claims of a hat-trick in the Bentley Motors Nursery (1.50).

The ITV cameras are also in attendance at Pontefract, where ARCTIC SOUND, who left behind some drab recent form with a 66-1 third at Ayr a week ago, is taken to defy top weight in the Simon Scrope Dalby Screw- Driver Handicap (2.05).

By contrast, DARK JEDI has been at the top of his game for most of the summer and gets the vote for the Wi l liam Hi l l Lengthen #YourOdds Handicap (2.40).
