IT’S PUFF AT THE TOP
HOOFLEPUFF (8.0) can blow his rivals away in the Betway Handicap at Wolverhampton tonight.
Brian Ellison’s gelding has a terrific course record and beat
Central City in impressive style over 1m 4f here last month.
The four-year-old was staying on strongly at the business end that day so he can follow up over this extra two furlongs.
The thriving handler can also land the novices’ event with
FAIR STAR (7.0). Useful in bumpers, the gelding looks welltreated on the Flat after cosily defeating Happy Face over track and trip. SONNET ROSE (5.30) can take the fillies’ handicap for shrewd handler Conrad Allen. The consistent mare will take all the beating with any repeat of her comfortable defeat of Mount Wellington at Kempton. DAAFR (7.30) can maintain Anthony Brittain’s winning run in the Betway Handicap. The four-year-old can shrug off a well-earned 3lb hike for slamming I Think So over course and distance. Trust Michael Appleby’s IT
MUST BE FAITH (8.30) in the five-furlong handicap. The veteran can bag his fourth course success after his eyecatching second to Kath’s Lustre at Chelmsford.
OFFICER DRIVEL (2.0) can lay down the law on a competitive fixture at Chelmsford. Suzi Best’s gelding can build on his excellent second behind Newgirlintown in a similar event here last time. VINCENZO COCCOTTI (3.10) looks dangerous in the trappy Ladies’ Day Handicap.
Pat Chamings’ sprinter can gain compensation for his unlucky sixth at Lingfield from a cracking draw in Stall 1. MOUNT WELLINGTON (3.40) can kick off a profitable spell for Stuart Williams.
The five-year-old remains on an attractive mark after his good second to the consistent
Sonnet Rose at Kempton. The Newmarket handler can double-up with PAPA STOUR (4.45) in the last. The five-yearold can take advantage of a drop in class after his fine sixth in hotter company at Newcastle.
David Simcock’s VEXED (4.15) can finally open his account in the two-miler. The gelding remains unexposed on the all-weather after going down narrowly to Where’s Tom over 1m 4f at Lingfield.
