IT’S BIG BEN’S TIME
BEAUTIFUL BEN (3.05) can continue his revival in a cracking fixture at Perth.
Laura Morgan’s gelding bounced back to his best when slamming an in-form Wisecracker at Southwell.
The 10-year-old remains fairly treated on his old form so should follow up under the skilled Adam Wedge.
CONDARCIA (1.55) rates a value bet in the competitive Derek Halley Handicap Hurdle.
Nicky Richards’ mare should be primed after a comeback third to Skylanna Breeze at Southwell. Shrewd Greystoke handler Richards ought to also bag a tricky three-miler with WESTERN RULES (3.40).
The consistent hurdler still looks well treated after his narrow loss to the progressive Yes No Maybe So at Southwell.
SOUTHERN GIRL (2.30) can open her account over hurdles for Lucinda Russell. The mare has a bright future after chasing home the exciting Getaround over track and trip on debut.
The Arlary handler stands to double up with METHOD-TO THE MADNESS (4.50). The mare should relish returning to 2m 4f after her staying-on third to Calvinist on her comeback at Hexham.
LA BAGUE AU ROI (4.15) looks set to make her class tell in the David Whitaker Chase.
Warren Greatrex’s star is a dual Grade One winner so can rout some useful rivals under Richard Johnson.
Jonjo O’Neill’s JOLY MAKER (5.20) is no joke in the Paul Ferguson Handicap Chase.
Impressive at Bangor, the six-year-old then finished second to the well-treated Tazka at Fontwell. The gelding was a shade unlucky so can go one better off a 2lb higher mark.
Neil Mulholland remains in top form so it’s worth backing HARBOUR FORCE (5.50). The gelding did it nicely here in July and is on a workable mark after his fourth at Market Rasen.
HIGH END (2.55) should extend Saeed bin Suroor’s winning run in the Foundation Stakes at Goodwood.
The gelding looked ready for Listed company when second to Data Protection in a red-hot Sandown handicap.
Tony Carroll’s WILEY POST (4.40) sits on an attractive turf mark after his second to Treacherous at Kempton and can bag his second win here.
