SMASH AND BAB RAID
BABINDI (5.05) can hammer her rivals for William Haggas in the Challenge Whip at Newmarket.
Impressive at Bath, the three-year-old was then narrowly beaten by True Scarlet at Nottingham.
That race is working out extremely well so the classy filly can go one better under Tom Marquand.
SED MAARIB (1.35) can extend Roger Varian’s excellent run in a competitive nursery. The two-year-old improved again when giving the talented Modern Games most problems at Doncaster and was staying on strongly over seven furlongs so can triumph up in trip.
RESTLESS ENDEAVOUR (2.10) can shade the EBF Premier Handicap. Michael Appleby’s filly was an eyecatching third to Lezardrieux at Catterick on her last outing for Grant Tuer so can resume winning ways for her shrewd new handler.
BAKE (4.30) can turn up the heat for Martyn Meade in the Discover Newmarket Handicap. The three-year-old stayed upwardly mobile when edging out in-form Tahitian Prince at Doncaster and is nicely unexposed over a mile so can make light of a lenient 2lb penalty.
Donald McCain’s MINELLA
TRUMP (2.30) can continue his recent rise over fences at Perth. The seven-year-old didn’t mind stepping up to three miles when just denying Hewick and doesn’t lack pace so can complete a hat-trick back over 2m 4f.
O CONNELL STREET (3.40) can maintain Gordon Elliott’s revival in the handicap chase by taking advantage of a drop in trip after his fine second to Juge Et Parti here.
GO FOX (4.15) can claim the
Jet Master Handicap Hurdle for skilled Patrick Neville. The six-year-old recorded a career best slaying Sword Of Fate over course and distance so can defy a well-deserved 5lb hike.
SPIDER’S BITE (4.50) can make a winning debut for Adam Nicol in the Silver Plate Chase. The nine-year-old was just held by Shanroe Al C on his last run for Neil Mullholland over track and trip and remains unexposed over fences so can strike for his new trainer.
