ONLY CALL TO MAKE
LONG CALL (3.20) can strike for thriving handler Tony Carroll on day one of Yarmouth’s Eastern Festival.
The gelding produced his best effort since joining his new yard when slamming Bayston Hill over 1m 2f at Leicester.
The five-year-old escapes a penalty for that success and his shrewd trainer should be able to eke out more back up in trip. Can’t see past GREAT
BEYOND (2.50) in the feature Dan Hague Handicap. Roger Charlton’s colt showed the benefits of wind surgery when bolting up at Wolverhampton. Jane Chapple-Hyam’s JUST US
TWO (3.50) is the call in the competitive Moulton Handicap.
The six-year-old put in his best shift for a while when second to
Daddys Poppit at Chelmsford and remains well treated.
WAR WHISPER (4.50) can pay for a few rounds in the Wainwright Golden Ale Handicap. Pat Midgley’s useful sprinter was just denied by Royal
Brave at Musselburgh and can capitalise on a 1lb higher mark.
PURSUING STEED (3.10) returned to last year’s flying form when scoring at Doncaster and can follow up if the blinkers work their magic at Redcar.
EXTRASOLAR (3.40) can shine in the Weatherbys Handicap for Geoffrey Harker.
The eight-year-old had plenty in hand when beating Super
Florence at Catterick and a 3lb hike is unlikely to stop him. In-form Kevin Ryan can add the Straight Mile Handicap to his tally with KNIGHTED (4.10).
The unexposed gelding improved again when beating
Completion at Pontefract and can shrug off a 6lb penalty.
CAPLA GILDA (1.30) can extend Archie Watson’s winning streak at Lingfield. The filly sits on a fair mark after dismissing Darwina at Wolverhampton.
LETHAL LUNCH (3.30) looks tasty for Clive Cox in the Star Sports Handicap, with the grey unlucky to run into the well-handicapped Good Effort at Newbury last time around.
Ed Dunlop’s DUBAI FRAME (5.0) was an eye-catching second to Duration in a red-hot Newcastle handicap and is still unexposed as a stayer. ■ Fozzy Stack said Son Of Rest will go for Saturday’s Ayr Gold Cup after his Group One second at the Curragh. Mark Johnston’s top-weight
Cardsharp heads 170 entries.
