Meg looks magic in Novice Stakes

-

Megallan looked above average when winning on debut and can defy a penalty in the MansionBet Bet £10 Get £20 British EBF Novice Stakes at Newmarket tomorrow.

Owned by Anthony Oppenheime­r, who rarely seems to have a bad horse these days, the John Gosd en-trained Kingman colt made a striking impression earlier this month on his first racecourse appearance.

Despite racing keenly enough in the early stages, he came with a sweeping run down the centre of the track to win going away by almost four lengths.

Given how Gosden operates, he was unlikely to have been fully tuned up for his debut and this Derby entrant – whose dam is a half-sister to Oppenheime­r’s Golden Horn – can remain unbeaten.

Live In The Moment is a sprinter on the up and can go in again in the MansionBet Watch And Bet Handicap.

The three-year-old is doing his best to put trainer Adam West on the map with two wins at York.

The handicappe­r has had a good go at stopping him, but a useful claiming jockey in Joseph Lyons will help ease the burden.

David Menuisier always seems to find one or two good horses a year and Shoulderin­g looked promising when winning last time out.

She makes her handicap debut after doing well to win at Sandown for Ryan Moore when overcoming trouble.

A mark of 83 looks fair in the MansionBet Bet £10 Get £20 Handicap.

Nicky Henderson’s Overpriced Mixer is likely to have plenty of supporters in the MansionBet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap on his first run for the yard having previously been with Jamie Osborne.

A 90,000 guineas purchase last autumn, he won two of his five starts for previous connection­s and a mark of 78 certainly gives his new team something to work with.

Lone Eagle is the pick in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Goodwood.

He demonstrat­ed abundant promise on his first race course outing earlier this month, working his way into the race before only just failing to run down the allthe-way winner by a head at the line.

Lone Eagle still looked to have plenty to learn and Martyn Meade surely has high hopes going forward.

Lady Lynetta can confirm the favourable impression she made when winning at Haydock by doubling up in the Ladbrokes Get Your Daily Odds Boost Fillies’ Handicap.

She had to be pretty game as it looked as though the eventual second, Amber Storm, might have stolen a decisive advantage, but she saw out the mile comfortabl­y to win by a cosy length and a quarter.
