Pattie looking tasty prospect
PATTIE can take her winning turn in the Bet totetrifecta At totesport.com Fillies’ Conditions Stakes at Chelmsford.
Mick Channon’s five-year-old has been running with great credit this winter at just short of this mile trip, including as an honourable third under top weight in a decent Kempton handicap last month.
In this fast-track qualifier, she instead receives 3lb from likely market rival Clon Coulis – and has very little to find on the ratings to get her head in front for the first time since her Newmarket victory in October.
This is a tight contest, full of inform contenders in just a five-runner field, but Pattie’s credentials are best.
Half-an-hour earlier on a highlycompetitive evening card, the stamina test for another fast-track qualifier, the Bet totequadpot At totesport. com Conditions Stakes, may go the way of Aircraft Carrier.
John Ryan’s colt is on a four-timer after two wins at Wolverhampton and one here either side of Christmas, and it was a dour staying performance that saw him get the better of some fair performers when he moved up to this marathon trip on the most recent occasion at Dunstall Park.
That represented significant improvement, and a reproduction of a similar level can see him prevail again in this good company.
In the Bet toteexacta At totesport. com Handicap, a slight drop in trip to six furlongs could be key for Enthaar.
Stuart Williams’ gelding has been struggling of late to get home over slightly further, and consequently finds himself on a very feasible mark against some more exposed opponents.
Frisella is the obvious answer to the Bet toteswinger At totesport.com Fillies’ Novice Stakes.
John Gosden’s three-year-old will be hooded for the first time after failing at Wolverhampton in November to build on the promise she had shown when a close second on her Haydock debut last summer.
Up in trip again here, she should have this field covered.
