INVEST IN OLD GOLD
MY OLD GOLD (4.35) can shine for Nicky Richards on Day 2 of the Perth Festival.
Useful in points, the mare has taken well to hurdling and built on some sterling efforts over shorter when slamming
stepped up to 3m 2f at Carlisle. The form of that contest looks fairly strong and I don’t think we’ve seen the best of this lightly-raced eight-yearold over staying trips.
Trust (2.55) to repeat last year’s success in the
House BAHRIKATE Knock
BY GARRY OWEN Glenearn Handicap Hurdle. Team Corbett’s gelding races off a much higher mark this time but has actually improved since then and will be primed after his fine second over two miles at Wetherby.
Nigel Twiston-Davies can claim the Balnakeilly Novices’ Chase with (3.30). The eight-year-old recorded a personal best over fences when outpointing the
BALLYARTHUR
useful at Uttoxeter and can build on that with a decent round of jumping.
Somerset raider (4.05) is the right choice in the River Tay Handicap Chase. Alan Jones’ gelding responded well to wind surgery when hammering
at Newbury last time and can shrug off a 7lb hike in his current form.
(5.10) is an obvious choice for in-form Dumfries handler Iain Jardine.
The seven-year-old showed
War Sound Kayf Adventure TIQUER LOUD AND CLEAR
some decent form in two starts over timber last summer and should be primed for a handicap debut after a spin on the allweather at Newcastle.
AWAKE AT MIDNIGHT
(2.45) can maintain Phillip Hobbs’s late-season revival at Warwick. The six-year-old has shown some reasonable form over two miles as a novice hurdler and should come on plenty up in trip in handicaps.
Hobbs can quickly double up with (3.20)
OZZIE THE OSCAR
in the feature novices’ handicap chase. The seven-year-old has been set some stiff tasks over fences and should do plenty of damage in handicap company after a well-earned break.
(3.55) can shade a trappy three-miler for Kim Bailey.
The seven-year-old has been upwardly mobile over timber and remains unexposed after his excellent second to
in a competitive event at Musselburgh in February.
