HEBRIDES-Y PEASY
HEBRIDES (4.10) can land the odds for thriving William Haggas on another cracking card at Newbury.
The three-year-old showed class and guts to deny the promising Hiya Maite in a Nottingham novice so can make a winning handicap debut over seven furlongs.
MERLIN’S BEARD (3.10) can extend Richard Hughes’ magical run in the BetVictor Handicap. The four-year-old returned to form when comfortably defeating Party Island on the Lingfield allweather and is proven on Turf so can defy a fair 6lb penalty under old ally George Rooke .
Roger Charlton has also hit top gear so I’m on NOYA (3.40) in the fillies’ handicap. The three- year- old will relish returning to seven furlongs after a fine third to Clitheroe at Lingfield.
ANTIPHON (4.40) can call the tune for ultra-shrewd Mike Murphy in the closing sprint.
The three-year-old put in a clear career best chinning
Gidwa in a warm Windsor handicap and is nicely unexposed for his current yard so can follow up under Silvestre De Sousa.
TUCSON CLOUD (3.0) can kick off a huge week for Sir Michael Stoute by scoring at Leicester. The three-year-old caught the eye when third to
Discretion on her comeback in a Beverley novice so can take full advantage of an inviting opening mark.
GOLDEN SPICE (4.0) looks tasty for skilled George Margarson in the tricky Twitter Handicap after outpointing Truely Aclaimed in a hot event at Newmarket.
Richard Hannon is flying at present so I’m siding with
THUNDER QUEEN (4:30) in the lucky last. The three-yearold improved again giving the talented Yummylicious most resistance at Nottingham and remains well treated over 1m 2f so she can go one better in a weaker event.
TWELFTH KNIGHT (7.29) can show his mettle for on-song Archie Watson at Yarmouth. The progressive sprinter can shrug off a 6lb rise for hammering Masterclass over track and trip.
Bryan Smart can enjoy a big-priced double at Thirsk with REDZONE (6.22) and
ANTAGONIZE (8.27).
