A FLYING MACHINE
FLYING VERSE (2.55) can soar for David Dennis on the opening day of the new season at Wincanton.
The chaser clearly relished tackling 3m 2f when hacking up from Prince Dundee at Kelso recently.
The gelding is still nicely unexposed for his new trainer so he can shrug off a wellearned 7lb penalty.
O’FAOLAINS LAD (4.05) can take the conditionals’ chase for shrewd handler Ford. The gelding recorded a clear career best when slamming Achy Breaky Heart at Newton Abbot.
The seven-year-old is open to progress as a stayer so he can defy a reasonable 5lb rise.
QUARTZ DU RHEU (3.05) can sparkle for Team O’Neill in the feature handicap chase at Carlisle.
The super six-year-old was narrowly denied a hat-trick by the fast-improving Haul Away at Warwick.
The gelding still lurks on an attractive mark so he can shade another tricky contest down in trip.
NEAR KETTERING (3.40) is the path to profit in the trappy Racing TV Handicap Hurdle.
Sam England’s horse absolutely bolted up from Grand Enterprise at Market Rasen in August.
The gelding remains wellRichenda treated so he can prevail after some respectable efforts on the Flat.
YANIFER (3.20) can maintain Jamie Osborne’s winning run on the level at Brighton.
The gelding ran another blinder when second to the useful Discomatic over track and trip.
This three-year-old is generally consistent so he can go one better in this weaker contest.
HOOVES LIKE JAGGER (4.30) can give Tony Carroll yet another winner at this venue.
The gelding was unlucky to encounter handicap blot Miss Tiki over course and distance.
The three-year-old is still on a winning mark so he can gain compensation down in trip.
GIVE ‘EM THE SLIP (5.05) can show her rivals a clean pair of heels for Charlie Hills.
The filly returned to form when chinned by Los Camachos on the Chelmsford all-weather.
