TAKING NOTICE NOW
CENOTICE (3.10) can extend Donald McCain’s excellent run in the Wrexham Handicap Chase at Bangor.
The seven-year-old slammed the in-form Onthefrontfoot on debut for his new yard over two miles at Perth so can strike again over 2m 4f.
HAVANA HERMANO (2.10) can defy a welter-burden in the Nightingale Handicap Chase. Stuart Edmunds’ horse ran another stormer when chinned by Cesar Et Rosalie over track and trip and remains nicely unexposed over three miles so he can claim another warm contest.
The Clwyd Handicap Hurdle is trappy but I’m backing Oliver Greenall’s BOUNDSY BOY (3.40).
The gelding stayed on the rise when second to the promising Burristo in a hot Stratford novice so can take advantage of an attractive opening mark.
MARKAZI (2.50) can enhance shrewd handler Liam Bailey’s excellent record at Musselburgh. The gelding returned to form when bolting up from Carey Street over course and distance so can make light of a well-deserved 5lb hike.
GREENGAGE (4.25) can shade the trappy racingtv.com Handicap for Tristan Davidson. The six-year-old put in another excellent shift when giving Midrarr most resistance at Wolverhampton and still sits on a workable Turf mark so she can deny some useful opponents.
Bryan Smart is hitting form so I’m siding with ZOOM STAR (5.0) in the closing sprint. The filly put in another career best when second to Glorious Rio in a decent event at Nottingham so can go one better in another tricky handicap.
George Margarson’s FARHH
TO SHY (3.0) is worth punting on an interesting card at Yarmouth. The three-year-old stayed on the upgrade when just denied by the promising Maajdah over six furlongs here and was doing all her best work late so can triumph over this extra furlong.
EYES (3.30) has a clear chance for Jessica Macey in the Attheraces Handicap. The filly shaped like her turn was near when just held by Solomons Judgement over track and trip.
