El of a chance of Yarmouth joy

TIPS: Dettori hopes partnershi­p with Dansili Colt pays off on trip to seaside

- THE FERRET

EL MISK can make Frankie Dettori’s seaside trip worthwhile in the Dan Hague, Yarmouth’s Number 1 Bookmaker Handicap today.

The partnershi­p should pay off for punters backing John Gosden’s Dansili colt to break his duck on the turf, following his two all-weather victories.

El Misk already has a runner-up spot to his name at Windsor last month when he stayed on again late and earned himself a move up in distance.

He was up to a mile and half at Kemp ton last time when he won decisively under Robert Havlin on handicap debut.

Dettori is due to be back on board, having ridden El Misk just once previously when they were well beaten in a highly-competitiv­e Newmarket novice back in April.

An hour later, in the Moulton Nurseries Of Acle Novice Stakes, HELLOVASIN­GER ought to have a decent shout at likely rewarding odds.

Richard Hughes’ gelding had a low-profile introducti­on at Kempton, on the same card which featured El Misk’s win.

Sent off at 22-1, Hellovasin­ger never threatened to get to grips with three much better-fancied opponents ahead of him.

But he was not disgraced either against well-touted opposition that day – and without being hard-pressed to do so, finished comfortabl­y clear of two fellow outsiders.

TEN THOUSAND STARS has already made that breakthrou­gh but nonetheles­s merits only an opening mark of 70 in the Market Cross Jewellers Nursery Handicap at Redcar.

Adrian Nicholls’ filly was a hard-fought Newmarket winner on just her second career start last month, and then appeared to get stuck in the mud over a longer trip on a wet night at Hamilton.

GIVING BACK is of interest in the last at Chepstow.

Alan King’s mare has two narrow bumper successes to her name, and also had just a head to spare when she struck at Salisbury this month.
