HE’S OUR IDEAL MAN

- BY GARRY OWEN

LAOISMAN (6.35) can complete a four-timer for Steve Woods in the Fitzdares Handicap at Windsor.

The four-year-old stayed upwardly mobile when cosily denying Habooba on his return at Wolverhamp­ton so can shrug off a 3lb hike back on Turf.

HE’S GOT GAME (4.30) can show his class in the Commercial Acceptance­s Ltd Handicap. Hugo Palmer’s three-year-old relished tackling a mile when chinned by Phoenix Passion at this venue so can cash in on an inviting mark under Oisin Murphy.

DESFONDADO (7.05) can cost the bookies dear in the Raceday-Ready.Com Handicap. Simon Dow’s colt returned to form when comfortabl­y defeating

Mapogo at Lingfield and is effective on Turf so can make light of a 3lb rise in the hands of Hollie Doyle.

VARIETY ISLAND (1.47) can steal the limelight in the apprentice­s’ handicap at Catterick. Simon Whitaker’s five-year-old recorded a personal best when pipping Langholm over track and trip so can follow up for a trainer hitting form.

COSMIC SOUL (2.47) can shade the staying-handicap for ultra-shrewd Patrick Neville.

The bay relished tackling two miles when second to Art De Vivre on his last Flat run at Thirsk and is open to plenty of progress and will be primed after a few outings over hurdles.

The Racingtv.Com Handicap looks trappy but I’m on Ollie Pears’ KELDEO (3.17).

The three-year-old bounced back with a close second to Zaphea at Musselburg­h and is still largely unexposed on Turf so can turn the tables on his rival.

STELLAR MASTERPIEC­E (4.17) can shine for Micky Hammond in the Racing Tv Handicap. Useful in Poland, the grey was a decent third to Corsican Caper on her British debut here so can take full advantage of an attractive mark in a tight event.

LITTLE EMPIRE (8.30) can take command for Anthony McCann at Wolverhamp­ton.

The gelding got off the mark by bolting up from Coconut Bay over course and distance so can add this similar event.
