READY TO FRY FOES
DEEPER BLUE (1.05) can shade the Feeling Festive Handicap Hurdle at Exeter.
Harry Fry’s horse improved again when giving the talented Stage Star most problems at Chepstow in October.
The gelding remains nicely unexposed so should capitalise on an inviting opening mark.
NO REMATCH (1.40) can extend Evan Williams’ winning run in the feature handicap chase. The gelding hammered the useful Colonel Keating on his fencing bow at Chepstow in February.
There is plenty to come from this smart type who should make light of a 314-day absence.
GETAWAY LUCY (2.45) is the best of Kayley Woollacott’s team in the Racing TV Chase.
The mare sealed a personal best over fences when just denied by Brooksway Fair at Ffos Las a month ago.
That is respectable form so the seven-year-old should triumph slightly down in trip.
HONORARY COLONEL (1.15) ought to take command in the novices’ chase at Ffos Las.
The gelding was a cracking second to Seven No Trumps on his fencing bow at Lingfield.
Philip Hobbs’ charge was slightly unlucky last month so stands to open his account for his thriving connections.
LYDFORD LAD (1.50) looks set to claim a red-hot novices’ hurdle for shrewd trainer Jack
Barber. The gelding can build on last month’s track and trip success over Airtothethrone.
POWERFUL POSITION (2.55) should bag the staying chase for Christian Williams.
The six-year-old relished three miles when chinning Tudors Treasure here last month and stands to shrug off a lenient 4lb penalty up in trip.
VERTICE (3.06) can keep up David Thompson’s winning streak on the flat at Southwell.
The filly ran another blinder when edged out by Batocchi on her return here last week.
The four-year-old should be primed so can resume winning ways in a strong contest.
Scott Dixon has also found top gear so it’s worth backing INVINCIBLE LARNE (4.15) in the sprint.
The five-year-old eased past Corvair on debut for his yard at Wolverhampton last week.
The speedster scored with plenty in hand so ought to strike again dropped in class.
