JACOBS’ Crackers

Five-time Naps Table champ Moorestyle’s best bets…

SUNDAY SERVICE SIR MICHAEL STOUTE (below) became the winning-most trainer at Glorious Goodwood last week and the Newmarket handler can continue the good work at Chester today with the progressive stayer NADAITAK (3.10).

The nap got rolling just a bit too late when staying on strongly up the Sandown Park hill last time out.

Raised 3lb by the handicapper for that performance, the son of Teofilo could still be well in here on the ratings and can land the best bet of the day ahead of Zenon, who is seeking a hat trick, and Here And Now.

Jockey Richard Kingscote can initiate a double when he partners ZOFFALEE (2.05) in the opening novice event.

Well fancied for his career debut at Haydock, the selection just found the ground too quick for him that day.

Not given a hard time by his rider in the closing stages there, that kindness could be repaid here.

The big race of the day at the Galway Festival is the Ahonoora Handicap over 7f (3.55) and BMW Mile winner on Tuesday, Raven Light, will be looking to confirm form with five of his rivals from that race.

But I think DREAM WALKER can take revenge at the revised weights over this shorter trip especially as the eight-year-old did not get the clearest of runs that day.

At Market Rasen, the feature handicap chase

(3.00) should go to the Richard Newland-trained TRAFALGAR ROCK off top weight, while ARABIAN OASIS looks the pick of the nine runners at 5.10.

HOT TO TROT OASIS FANTASY ran a fine race from off a moderate pace on the opening day at Goodwood and granted faster ground looks a winner waiting to happen off his current handicap mark. FIRMAMENT ran a huge race under top weight last week at Ascot and on soft ground he could land a big race at York later in the month.

ANTE-POST STAR STORM has always been held in high regard by trainer James Fanshawe and his big aim for the season is the Betfred Ebor Handicap on August

26 at York.

A mile and a half at Ascot on his last two outings were insufficient tests of stamina so this intermediate 14f trip looks perfect so grab some of the freely available 33-1 each-way.
