HEART SET ON WIN
HEARTWARMING (3.30) is another top sprint prospect for Clive Cox in the St Hugh’s Stakes at Newbury.
The Showcasing filly was a fine second to Kurious on her debut at Sandown before bolting up over the same course and distance next time.
That is unlikely to be the limit for this speedy juvenile and she can take today’s promotion to Listed company in her stride.
In-form Roger Varian can add to his tally with
GAME PLAYER
BY GARRY OWEN (2.25). The three-year-old was a decent runner-up to the reopposing Exec Chief on his return at Lingfield and can get his revenge at today’s weights.
(2.55) can swoop for thriving trainer Ed Walker in a trappy staying handicap.
The strapping gelding ran a blinder when second to Shraaoh at Goodwood in June and is open to lots more improvement.
Mike Murphy’s
SKY EAGLE KODIAC
(4.0) can stay on the upgrade in the New Amsterdam Handicap. The filly made it three wins this term when outbattling Grandfather Tom at Yarmouth and a 3lb hike won’t stop her.
(5.10) can take the competitive apprentices contest for Richard Hughes. The grey scored in good style at Ffos Las on her debut and Hughes can eke out plenty more improvement.
Cracking bets at Chelmsford headed by (6.50) in
EXPRESS HELLOVAQUEEN HUMBERT
the Totesport Handicap. The gelding has been in great form for Hugo Palmer and can shrug off a 3lb penalty.
Palmer can also take the Toteswinger Handicap thanks to (7.55). The threeyear-old resumed his upward curve when scoring at Newcastle and can follow up if the blinkers continue to work their magic.
(7.20) can reign in the feature sprint for shrewd handler David Barron. The filly recorded a
RASHDAN QUEEN IN WAITING
career best when slamming Alsvinder over course and distance and can defy a stiff hike with Nicola Currie’s 3lb claim. Warren Greatrex’s
(9.00) will take all the beating in the Oakleafe Handicap. Useful over hurdles, the gelding hacked up from Spiritoftomintoul over course and distance.
Towcester’s future is in doubt after the company that runs the Northamptonshire venue went into administration.
