SNATCH POTA GOLD
POTAPOVA (7.10) can hand Sir Michael Stoute more glory in the Hoppings Stakes at Newcastle.
The filly put in her best shift yet when a cracking second to Bashkirova in a hot Epsom Group 3. The four-year-old was staying-on strongly over a mile so she can go one better upped in trip.
KINGSON (4.55) can reign for shrewd handler Jake Coulson in the amateurs’ handicap. The gelding hit back when chinning Atacama Desert on debut for his new handler at Haydock. The six-year-old likes this venue so he can take advantage of an attractive mark down in class.
DUAL IDENTITY (5.30) is the name to remember in the trappy JenningsBet Handicap.
Willie Knight’s gelding ran another stormer when narrowly beaten by Cu Chulainn at Lingfield. That race is working out well so this likeable type can give weight and a beating to a fair field.
COPPER KNIGHT (6.35) can show his mettle for Tim Easterby in the Gosforth Park Cup. The eight-year-old was better than ever when beating
Glory Fighter at Chester.
The sprinter goes well here so he can shrug off a wellearned 6lb hike in another warm event.
GOLDEN SANDS (5.40) can leave his rivals washed up for
Mark Johnston at Chester. The three-year-old was unlucky to meet progressive Glory Fighter at Goodwood. That was another career best so he can gain compensation in a weaker race.
The in-form SIR OLIVER (6.50) can make light of a welter-burden for smart handler Chris Dwyer.
Team Stoute excels at this quirky venue so I’m rowing in with TERRA MITICA (7.25). The three-year-old built on some smart efforts when cosily denying Atlantis Blue at Lingfield. The filly remains nicely unexposed over 1m 2f.
ANTAGONIZE (2.10) can annoy bookies for the skilled Bryan Smart at Doncaster. The gelding shaped like his turn was near when good second to Diamond Haze at Thirsk.
NOVA LEGEND (3.55) can stay on rise for James Ferguson. The colt should relish tackling 1m 6f after second to Salvator Mundi at Leicester.
