SAME TEAM FOR TROPHY

TIM EASTERBY and Duran Fentiman teamed up to capture the lucrative Totepool Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar with Body And Soul in 2012, and they can repeat the trick with APPOINTED (3.15).

The filly is the last one of the 23 juveniles to make the gig with just 8st 1lb on her back, so the recent Carlisle scorer has already had a helping hand from lady luck.

William Haggas has enjoyed a great run recently and I’m going to have a few quid each-way on SQUATS (3.40) in the Totescoop6 Challenge Handicap at Ascot.

This beast was unlucky when fourth over course and distance at the beginning of September so with the very capable 5lb claimer Georgia Cox taking over from Ryan Moore, the pair should be on the premises.

In the Group One Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket, recent runaway Leopardstown heroine ALICE SPRINGS (4.00) will take a world of beating if in the same mood.

She landed another Group One affair on the July Course in the summer which proves she handles sharp undulations.
