EASTERN PROMISES
EASTERN RACER (3:35) can maintain Brian Ellison’s winning streak in the Racing UK Handicap at Thirsk.
The six-year-old is flying at present and was just denied a hat-trick by useful Admiralty in a warm contest at Carlisle.
Proven on soft ground, the gelding can resume winning ways thanks to young Kieren Schofield’s valuable 7lb claim.
FUENTE (2:35) can take a step forward for Keith Dalgleish in the novices’ contest. The BY GARRY OWEN
Havana Gold colt slammed strong yardstick Axe Axelrod at Ayr and can follow-up with improvement likely. Godolphin’s BEDOUIN’S
STORY (3:05) will take all the beating in the seven-furlong handicap. Saeed bin Suroor’s colt has been on the upgrade at three and looks well-handicapped after his good third behind
Woody Bay at Newmarket. CHAMPAGNE RULES (4:05) can shrug off an 111-day absence in the Family Day Handicap. Not seen since chasing home
Orobas at Newcastle in May, Sharon Watt’s gelding can take advantage of an attractive Turf mark.
Competitive stuff at Leicester where SABAI SABAI (2:20) should land the opening nursery.
Ralph Beckett’s juvenile caught the eye when a good fourth in a Goodwood maiden and can build on that effort.
Mark Usher’s POINT IN
TIME (2:50) can sink her rivals in the Nelson Fillies’ Handicap.
The three-year-old built on decent efforts when opening her account at Newmarket, a 4lb rise won’t anchor this progressive type.
EASY TIGER (3:20) can pounce for Malcolm Saunders in the Underwood Equine Handicap. The six-year-old showed he was still in peak form when a half-length second to
Simpson at Windsor and can go one better despite a 2lb hike.
Tom Dascombe remains in terrific form and he can add to his tally with FIVE HELMETS
(4:20). The juvenile finally came good when scoring with plenty in hand at Beverley last week and escapes a penalty due to Elisha Whittington’s 7lb claim.
Andrew Balding is also thriving and he can claim the closing sprint with RUX RUXX (4:50). The daughter of Dark Angel improved again when runner-up to Wild Angel over seven furlongs at Lingfield and will relish this drop to six.
