Caballero can deliver again for Dalgleish as he nears record

- By GLENDALE

Carluke trainer Keith Dalgleish chalked up a double at Newcastle on Friday and Caballero can be another winner for him at Gosforth Park.

Caballero can take Dalgleish one step closer to beating his personal best of 86 winners in a calendar year.

Surprising­ly, the five-yearold has not added to his trainer's tally in 2021, but has finished second six times, including on his last three starts, all on turf.

He has been sent off favourite on his last two outings, but did little wrong, and a switch to an artificial surface might be what Caballero needs to register a third career success, in the Mansionbet Proud Partners Of AWC Handicap.

Canonized looked at the top of her game when winning the Rockingham Stakes at York earlier this month.

The William Haggas-trained filly was in control in the final furlong when beating Witch Hunter by three-quarters of a length. She is clearly in good heart and can follow that Listed success in the Watch Racing Free Online A Coral EBF Conditions Stakes.

Deevious Beau shaped well on his first run for 149 days when third at Musselburg­h and can reap the benefit in the Heed Your Hunch at Betway Handicap. David Barron’s four-year-old went off a 20-1 shot, but rewarded each-way punters with an eye-catching third over five furlongs. Both his wins have been over six furlongs and he returns to that trip. The tip should be taken.

Katyusha can make amends after finishing second on her first visit to Yarmouth by opening her account in the

Read Hollie Doyle's Column On attheraces.com Handicap back at the seaside track. The daughter of Siyouni made good late progress to get within three-quarters of a length of the winner, Broxi, last week. Presumably, she has come out of the race well and pleased trainer Charlie Fellowes. If so, she ought to run a big race.

Handicap. Chris Wall's fouryear-old notched up a hat-trick in the summer at this level, but has failed to deliver in two starts in better company since. Glen Esk will be much more at home in this class five contest.

Silks Dream can get that allimporta­nt first success under his belt in the Free Replays On attheraces.com Nursery Handicap. The two-yearold, by top sire Mehmas, has shown some ability so far over seven furlongs and beyond, but it is interestin­g trainer Darryll Holland is dropping him down to six for the first time. Most of his runs have suggested it is worth a try and he has come down 5lb in the ratings since being handicappe­d.
