MAKE IT A DOUBLE
DOUBLE OR BUBBLE (3.55) should rise to the challenge for Chris Wall on a stellar card at Newmarket.
The filly showed class and guts to deny the useful Sunset
Breeze on her handicap bow at Ascot in September.
The four-year-old is open to plenty of progress so can shrug off a 6lb hike on her return.
Some exciting types clash in the EBF Conditions Stakes but it’s worth backing NOBLE
DYNASTY (2.10). Charlie Appleby’s colt opened his account by bolting up from
Rifleman at Kempton. The three-year-old looks every inch a Group performer so ought to follow up under William Buick.
The Godolphin handler can also bag the opening maiden thanks to the upwardly mobile MAGICAL LAND (1.0). The Pat Smullen Memorial Handicap is even trappier but MAKRAM (2.45) stands out. The gelding routed Mars Landing at Ascot then flopped on soft ground at Sandown. Roger Charlton’s horse has been given time to mature so should resume winning ways on fast conditions.
ROYAL CHAMPION (3.20) can land a cracking renewal of the Feilden Stakes for Roger Varian. The colt began his career by defeating Toromona over a mile here in September.
There is plenty more to come from the three-year-old who stands to deny exciting rivals.
REWAAYAT (4.30) ought to extend Charlie Hills’ flying start in the bet 365.com Handicap.
The sprinter was progressive last year, signing off with a fine second to Just Glamorous at Salisbury, and looks poised to capitalise on a workable mark.
There are worthwhile bets at Southwell headed by DORA DE JANEIRO (3.45). Simon West’s mare is unexposed as a stayer after hammering Get The Appeal at Musselburgh. Tim Easterby is hitting form so I WAS THE FUTURE ONCE (4.20) can shade a three-miler.
The gelding is still on an attractive hurdle mark after crushing Light Flicker at Wetherby last month.
OTTONIAN (4.55) looks set to boost Brian Hughes’ title defence in a tight novices’ handicap hurdle. Donald McCain’s horse can shrug off a 2lb penalty for dismissing
Balranald at Musselburgh.
