Kempton runner can Mount bid for victory
Mount Athos can put a disappointing Wolverhampton run behind him in the
Unibet More Boost’s In More Races Handicap at Kempton.
A long season perhaps took its toll on the fiveyear-old gelding when he raced keenly and eventually finished fifth behind Intervention.
However, a 92-day break from that run can be of benefit and he can return to the form he showed late last year.
He made all over the same course and distance to win by a length from Aratus in November and was only edged out by a short head in a Listed race at Deauville in December.
Up 4lb from that win in November, he could be able to put a line through that Wolverhampton outing.
Cracking Gold can make it a hat-trick in the Unibet Support Safe Gambling Handicap.
The Paul Nichollstrained Don’t Tell Su can break his duck over obstacles in the Blackmore Vale Hurdle 1867 ‘National Hunt’ Maiden Hurdle at Wincanton.
Molly Landau has made a promising start to her career under rules and can use her valuable 7lb claim to guide Stanley Pincombe home in the Respect In Racing Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle.
Sabrina is well placed to make it a productive day for Nicholls at his local track in the Crest Racing Mares’ Handicap Hurdle.
