Tiger ready to pounce again

RACING: Consistent seven-year-old back in good heart

YOUNG TIGER certainly would not be winning out of turn in the Heed Your Hunch At Betway Handicap at Southwell.

With course form to his name, the Fibresand surface is not a concern for Tom Tate’s charge and given how consistent the seven-year-old has been through the winter, he is returning there in good heart.

He has been out of the frame just once in his last nine outings, and even then he was a respectable fifth of 12.

His good run started off a lowly mark of 48, and he is up to 70 now, pretty lofty for Southwell. He looks sure to take all the beating once more.

Another who goes well at Southwell is Roger Fell’s ZYLAN, who can defy topweight in the Betway Handicap.

Now eight, he is only a few pounds off his career-high mark and arrives at the top of his game.

VELVET VISION can land the hattrick in the Bombardier Golden Beer

Handicap. Now with Mike Murphy after Mark Tompkins retired, and following a brief spell with Ilka Gansera-leveque, she has thrived for being dropped in trip.

Her previous trainers had run her at distances up to one-mile-six, but back at a mile she has won her last two.

She is 7lb higher than for the first of those, but appears to be thriving.

UNO MAS has just begun to hint that is perhaps running into form again, and Christian Williams’ busy gelding may be handily treated in the Grand National Free Bets At grand-national. uk Handicap Hurdlehandicap Hurdle at Sedgefield.
