Moonlighting to follow up

TIPS: Weights hike should not stop Ryan’s filly building on Thirsk success

MOONLIGHTING can follow up her recent Thirsk success that came after almost a year’s absence.

The Kevin Ryan-trained filly had shown promise in three starts as a juvenile and a 2lb rise in the ratings should not stop her from scoring again in the Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap at Musselburgh.

LADY SCATTERLEY was just found out in the closing stages over a mile and three-quarters when last seen and can make amends in the Great Granny 90YO Margaret Conquers Mountain Handicap.

The drop to an extended mile and a half can see Tim Easterby’s four-yearold do the business.

WENTWORTH FALLS has shown plenty of promise on both his starts since returning from a long break and can make it third time lucky at Doncaster.

The eight-year-old shaped well until tiring close home when fourth on his first run for 265 days over six furlongs at Newmarket four weeks ago.

He backed that up with an eyecatching effort at Ayr last week when dropped to five furlongs.

He put in good late work to take second place behind National Anthem, who has franked the form by winning again on this course on Friday.

The step back up to six furlongs for the attheraces.com Handicap looks just the ticket for Geoff Harker’s charge, whose last run on this track saw him finish a close fifth to the smart Oxted in the Portland Handicap over five and a half furlongs in September.

INTERCESSOR sprang a 200-1 shock at Newbury on his return, but he can prove that was no fluke with victory in the Free Tips Daily On attheraces. com Handicap.

Cieren Fallon executed a perfect front-running ride in Berkshire and, despite looking as though he may drop away a couple of furlongs out, Intercessor showed plenty of guts to hold off an evens favourite by a head.

Tailed off on his only previous start at two, Intercessor seemingly felt the benefits of a bit of time coupled with a gelding operation and he certainly will not be going off at triple figures this time.
