Yarmouth set for Global domination

tips: Switch to sprinting for Walker’s inmate can pay off at second attempt

-

GLOBAL EXCEL can atone for an odds-on reverse at Wolverhamp­ton last month when he runs on a good card at Yarmouth.

Ed Walker’s inmate flickered promisingl­y in three starts last year and was heavily backed into 5-4 favouritis­m in a six furlong handicap.

Global Excel could not deliver the goods – he finished third behind Wazin – but that performanc­e was certainly not without merits.

The gelded son of Exceed And Excel was forced to travel wide for much of the trip and galloped strongly towards the line once his chance had gone.

Walker seemingly now believes Global Excel is a sprinter after campaignin­g over a mile as a juvenile and gets to prove the point.

He can do some damage off a mark of 69, while the first-time appointmen­t of Gerald Mosse is hardly off-putting.

Most chatter at Yarmouth will revolve around WITHOUT PAROLE, who runs in division two of the one mile novice stakes.

John Gosden’s colt made an explosive debut at Newcastle in December when he trounced a fair field by upwards of six lengths.

The son of Frankel is quoted around the 25-1 mark about winning the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket next month.

Expect those odds to be much shorter if he does what is expected of him. SELECTIONS
