Zorawar can strike at Lingfield

ZORAWAR has yet to win for David O’Meara - but all hope is not yet lost and he gets another chance in the sunracing.co.uk Handicap at Lingfield.

The former French-trained gelding in fact only has one career success to his name, but a moderate race somewhere is surely within his capabilities. He was sent off favourite at Wolverhampton last time out, but was slowly away and found himself at the rear and having to come round runners to make his challenge before running on into fifth.

Things probably need to fall right for him, but at the same time his mark of 55 is a winnable one - and going back up to seven furlongs will not hurt his chance.

Beehaar ran with a deal of promise first time out and is expected to be very much involved in division two of the EBF/Ladbrokes Fillies’ Novice Stakes.

The John Gosden-trained youngster is a well-related sort and will have a learnt a good deal from her debut outing at Wolverhampton.

A bit like Zorawar, she was not the sharpest away and was in a far from an ideal position as the race hotted up, before making nice headway late in the day.

Gosden has three in the EBF / Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost Novice Stakes, and Entitle may prove the best of them.

The Khalid Abdullah-owned filly has not been seen since June, when she caught the eye in a Newmarket maiden as one to do better in the future. She might need it, of course, having been off for such a period of time, but equally could just have a touch of class.

Woodside Wonder has to be the pick in the Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost Nursery Handicap.

Keith Dalgleish’s charge fairly whizzed in at Kempton last week, and the manner of that triumph suggests he can defy the mandatory 6lb penalty.

There is all-weather action too at Newcastle, where Battle Of Wills looks the one for the Ladbrokes Nursery Handicap.

Trained by James Tate, the Lawman colt goes handicapping for the first time on the back of three runs, most recently when a staying-on fourth at Wolverhampton.
