Blue is the colour at Yarmouth

-

JOHN GOSDEN has his string in sensationa­l form at the moment and is expected to add his tally with Blue On Blue at Yarmouth.

The Clarehaven handler saddled 12 winners in the space of five days last week, including big-race victories with Classic contenders Khalidi, Daban and Dabyah.

Blue On Blue is bred to be pretty useful himself as a full-brother to high-class filly Nemoralia and the Weddings & Private Parties At Yarmouth Racecourse Handicap looks a good opportunit­y for him to open his account at the fourth attempt.

The chestnut colt was a beaten favourite on his Chelmsford introducti­on last October and was even more disappoint­ing on his next start at Newmarket.

However, a winter break seems to have done him good judged on a more promising effort on his return at Kempton three weeks ago and he now goes handicappi­ng.

An opening mark of 74 looks workable enough and a bold bid is anticipate­d.

Evening fare comes from Brighton and Wolverhamp­ton, with Coronation Day fancied to complete her hattrick in the totequadpo­t At totesport. com Handicap at the seaside.

Unraced as a two-year-old, the daughter of Bahamian Bounty enjoyed a fine first season last year, winning three of her eight starts and placing on a further three occasions.

She is 5lb higher than when last seen winning at Kempton in October, but remains open to improvemen­t and quick turf suits her well judged on previous results.

Wolverhamp­ton’s Invest City Of Wolverhamp­ton Fillies’ Handicap can go the way of Canny Style.

The Kevin O’Ryan-trained fouryear-old had to settle for third last time out at Redcar when in search of a four-timer, but was far from disgraced as she finished off her race well to suggest the 7lb rise she encountere­d after winning at Musselburg­h in October is not beyond her.

She has gone up a total of 16lb since August last year and all the evidence seems to be she has improved again for another winter on her back. That Redcar run was over an extended 10 furlongs and this return to a mile and a half is firmly in her favour.
