WEATHERS WARM
ROBIN WEATHERS (3.55) can shine for a thriving William Haggas in the Ford Fiesta Handicap at Sandown.
The three-year-old looked a nice type when edging out the useful Killay on his debut at Salisbury and starts his handicap career off a very inviting mark.
THE GOLDEN CUE (1.40) can snooker his rivals from a cracking draw in the opening nursery.
Steph Hollinshead’s juvenile absolutely bolted up over course and distance last time and he can follow up in a slightly weaker contest despite a 10lb hike.
Winning machine OUR LORD (2.10) is a confident selection in the five-furlong handicap.
The grey has been a terrific servant to Michael Attwater this term and can complete a fourtimer with any repeat of last week’s dominant success at Bath.
Hughie Morrison’s HELFIRE (4.25) can burn off her rivals in the Racing UK Fillies’ Handicap.
The Archipenko filly has shown a fair level of form in competitive contests at Ascot and Brighton recently and can finally get her head in front dropped in class.
And GOLDEN WOLF (5.00) can just shade the trappy Talktalk TV Handicap for trainer Richard Hughes.
The gelding confirmed the promise shown earlier in the campaign when scoring at Lingfield last time and will take all the beating in his current mood.
Competitive stuff at Thirsk where EL HOMBRE (4.05) can land the Theakstone Lightfoot Handicap for Carluke handler Keith Dalgleish.
A three-time winner this season, the gelding put in another career best when striking at Hamilton in July and remains firmly on the upgrade.
FIELDSMAN (4.40) has caught the eye when second on his last two starts and can go one better today for shrewd handler David O’Meara.
Coneygree is well on track for the Kerry National on September 13. Trainer Mark Bradstock believes that the 2015 Gold Cup hero is fit enough to do himself justice at Listowel and is confident he can shrug off a big weight in the three-mile contest.
Looking ahead, the Oxfordshire handler is keen to run his stable star in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury on December 2 rather than Haydock’s Betfair Chase two weeks earlier.
● The Dalgleish-trained Kikini Bamalaam led home Ventura Gold to give a one-two to owners Middleham Park Racing at Musselburgh yesterday.
