Cash in with Part Exchange

PART EXCHANGE made quite an impact on her racecourse bow and she can improve on that winning debut with victory in the 32Red.com/ British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap at Lingfield.

Clearly Hugo Palmer’s charge is at something of a disadvantage in terms of experience against some well-travelled rivals in this 10-furlong heat, but there was plenty of promise in her initial six-length triumph.

A Juddmonte homebred, Part Exchange counts Group Three winner Distain amongst her siblings and she certainly seemed to have inherited some family ability when strolling away with what was only an average maiden at best.

She was forced to race wide that day so she could perhaps be counted a little better than the official margin and connections will surely be hoping she ends up with a higher rating than her current perch of 87.

Injury has kept Gilgamesh on the sidelines since June and while he may need the run in the totescoop6 Three Ways To Win Handicap, he could still come out on top at Chelmsford.

George Scott had high hopes for this Foxwedge gelding after he racked up a hat-trick in the early part of the year, kicking off over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton in February.

He went on to add another triumph at that track in March before switching to the turf at Redcar in May, making it four wins on the bounce if you factor in his victory at Nottingham on his final start of 2016 too.

Scott had hoped to test his powers at a higher level in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, but a late setback ruled him out of that run and has kept him off the track since.

Gilgamesh had improved 13lb before his season was derailed and if he can pick up where he left off, he can become a major all-weather player through the winter months.
