STAR IN THE MAKING
STAR OF WINS (3.30) can sparkle for in-form handler William Haggas on a cracking card at Sandown.
The three-year-old relished tackling 1m 2f last month when outbattling Winter Thorn in a warm Windsor novice.
Now this smart type stands ready to deny some useful rivals on his handicap debut.
BRIGHT ARMOR (1.10) looks a nice sprint prospect for Clive Cox in the nursery.
The Mehmas juvenile built on encouraging efforts when bolting up from Uncle Dick at Bath. The colt scored with plenty in hand so should capitalise on an attractive mark under Adam Kirby.
The Weybridge Handicap is trappy but Robert Cowell’s
ISHVARA (1.45) stands out. The gelding is well treated after going down narrowly to
Rose Hip in a hot Ascot sprint last month. MON CHOIX (2.55) ought to follow up a hugely impressive victory at Windsor four days ago.
Andrew Balding’s charge is open to plenty of progress on turf after that seven-length hammering of Alibaba. MARGARET DUMONT (4.05) is no joke for handler Mark Johnston in the staying handicap. The filly looked ready for the step up to 1m 6f when a game third to Grand Bazaar at Newmarket.
ARABIC CHARM (4.35) can make a winning handicap debut for Charlie Appleby.
The three-year-old starred when a close third to Sun Bear in a Windsor novice and should do plenty of damage in handicaps for team Godolphin.
There are some decent bets over the jumps at Cartmel headed by HIDDEN CARGO (1.25). Peter Bowen’s chaser shaped like his turn was near when chasing home the thriving Glengar at Southwell.
Oliver Greenall’s FORT DE L’OCEAN (2.0) is unexposed over fences after slamming Licklighter over track and trip. ACHILL ROAD BOY (3.10) should shade a tricky handicap chase for Stuart Coltherd. The 11-year-old will be primed after his comeback second to Top Billing over timber here. TALKINGPICTURESTV (4.20) can complete a treble for Henry Oliver in the last. The hurdler lurks on a workable mark after hacking up from
Notwhatiam at Market Rasen.
