ON TO A SURE THING
SUREYOUTOLDME (3.30) rates a value bet in the Ray Hawthorne Memorial Handicap at Musselburgh.
Ruth Carr’s four-year-old was a good winner over course and distance in May then chased home the useful Jacob Black back here last time.
Still lightly raced, the gelding should be open to a little more improvement and a 2lb hike is unlikely to anchor him at present.
SCOUNDREL
(2.0) can come BY GARRY OWEN good in the opener for in-form trainer Tim Easterby.
The three-year-old benefited from first-time cheekpieces when producing a career best third at Beverley and can strike today if the headgear does its job again.
The Yorkshire handler can double up with
(3.0) in the two-miler. The four-year-old returned to form when just denied by Indian
BAY BREAKWATER
Vision over 1m 6f at Redcar and can go one better back up in trip. Keith Dalgleish’s
(4.0) can claim the competitive Catherine Roache Handicap.
The gelding’s been revitalised since rejoining the Carluke handler and should build on his dramatic recent Carlisle second with a better start.
Dalgleish can also bag the TPF Schemes Handicap with
(4.30). The five-year-old has his
BLACK FALCON’S FIRE JACOB
quirks but he was a good second to Auxiliary at Hamilton last time and can score with any repeat of that performance.
(5.0) looks the safest option in the Aiua Insurance Handicap.
Rebecca Menzies’ sprinter likes the Lothian venue and shaped like his turn was coming when fourth at Ayr last time.
(3.50) can see off some old favourites in the Racing UK Handicap at Thirsk.
Richard Fahey’s colt is an
LANDING NIGHT ALJADY
exciting prospect after two eyecatching wins at Redcar and can take this competitive contest with further improvement likely. Fahey can also strike with
(3.20) who ran a blinder when second to the upwardly mobile Eeh Bah Gum at Redcar recently.
The Beer Festival Handicap is tight but I’m happy to side with (4.50). (5.20) can maintain her top run in the closing seven-furlong contest.
