One To Go can make up for near miss

RACING: Watson hope to get it right at Wolverhamp­ton

- KEITH HAMER

ONE TO GO can make up for a game effort in defeat at Lingfield by scoring on his first run at Wolverhamp­ton.

The four-year-old, trained by Archie Watson, made a gallant bid to make all the running over a mile and a quarter, only to go down by a neck to Crimewave after battling it out all the way to the line.

A similar run can surely see the Champs Elysees gelding get his head in front.

DARK SCIMITAR can get off the mark at the third attempt in the Ladbrokes “Play 1-2-Free” On Football Novice Stakes.

The Marco Botti-trained three-yearold has shown ability in his two starts to date, most recently going down by a neck over course and distance last month.

There was nothing wrong with that effort and as long as John Gosden’s newcomer Moohareeba is nothing too special, he should take a bit of beating, with Botti having a few winners of late.

ROCKETEER makes plenty of appeal in the Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Handicap.

A front-running effort at Lingfield last time out only just failed, and this first try at both six furlongs and handicap company could do the trick.

NIGHT VOYAGER also goes handicappi­ng for the first time and should have his say in the Ladbrokes Football Acca Boosty Handicap.

Seen three times so far, the James Tate-trained runner has had to settle for second spot the last twice, but appears to be progressin­g with racing.

FUCHSIA might be worth a look in the lucky last, the Betway Novice Median Auction Stakes.

The twice-raced James Fanshawe-trained filly was not disgraced here last month, having taken a fierce hold through the early stages before just losing third on the line.

If that has taken the freshness out of her, then she can go close against a field of mostly inexperien­ced rivals.

ENTHAAR won over Kempton’s six furlongs six weeks ago and can repeat the trick in the Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap.

Stuart Williams’ five-year-old had more in hand than the half-length verdict would suggest, after leading over a furlong out.

The handicappe­r has put the Sepoy gelding up 4lb, which seems fair and hopefully that will not stop him following up.
