Line House is right at home at Southwell
Karl Burke’s filly backed to repeat last week’s victory at Nottinghamshire track
LINE HOUSE can be backed with a certain degree of confidence when she rocks up at Southwell.
The three-year-old filly spent the winter in Dubai and, while she failed to cut much ice in some big races, it obviously did her no harm as she won on her return to Britain at this track.
Line House absolutely bolted up last week, showing the surface holds no fears, and the sunbets.co.uk Novice Median Auction Stakes should be at her mercy.
Horses who like the Fibresand are worth sticking with so MISTER
MUSIC should be followed back up in class in the sunbets.co.uk Handicap.
Tony Carroll’s nine-year-old has enjoyed a great few weeks at the Nottinghamshire venue, winning his last three starts there.
The first of those came off just a mark of 71 when sent off a 33-1 chance under 7lb apprentice Aled Beech.
He then defied a 6lb rise coming from way off the pace, which can be hard to do at Southwell considering the kickback.
Up in class and trip for his most recent outing, Mister Music won off a mark of 81 showing that he is equally as effective at a mile as seven furlongs.
He has another 5lb on his back and the 100-rated Donjuan Triumphant to contend with, but he is in the form of his life and loves Southwell
Keith Dalgleish saddles winners all year round under both codes and his
ACKER BILK can get back to winning ways in the Betway Casino Handicap.
Only four go to post, but it is a tight contest. However, Dalgleish’s runner has more scope to improve than most.
