DENIS THE MENACE
BAHLWAN (2.30) can spearhead a lucrative raid on Musselburgh by Tipperary handler Denis Hogan.
The sprinter has come into his own at four and bolted up from Angel Eyes over course and distance last time.
Still well treated thanks to the talented Killian Leonard’s 3lb claim, this gelding can follow up for his in-form handler.
Hogan can complete a double with ALTHIB (4.40) in the Bebodykind Handicap. A good winner at Thurles in October, the five-year-old shaped like his turn was coming again when sixth in a hotter event at Gowran.
RIGHT ACTION (3.05) can extend Richard Fahey’s winning run in the Alzheimer Scotland Handicap. The gelding returned with a game defeat of Saluti at Doncaster and is fairly treated on the pick of last season’s efforts.
Mark Johnston is also thriving and can lift the Goliath Cup with BAYSHORE FREEWAY (3.35). The consistent gelding relished the return to 1m 6f when beating
Seafarer at Bath and can make all once again despite a 4lb hike.
Ruth Carr’s CHAPLIN BAY (4.10) is the call in a trappy seven-furlong handicap.
The seven year old has been in reasonable form on the allweather and can capitalise on an attractive mark back on turf.
THE DEFIANT (5.10) will not back down in the Racing Welfare Handicap. Paul Midgley’s speedster slammed Brahma
Kamal over track and trip and can confirm his superiority from a kind draw in stall eight.
FRAME RATE (5.45) can boost Iain Jardine’s cracking 25 per cent strike rate in the closing two-miler.
A course winner over timber here in March, the stayer is nicely unexposed on the Flat after his fine second to Elite
Icon back here this month. Denis Coakley’s SAUMUR (3.45) is the best bet on a decent Jump card at Kempton. The mare has taken well to hurdling and should improve for the step up to 2m 5f after chasing home So Lonely over two miles at Huntingdon.
TIDAL WATCH (4.50) can coast to victory for handler Jonjo O’Neill in the Matchbook Handicap Hurdle.
The five year old did it nicely over course and distance last month and can shrug off a 3lb hike with any repeat of that run under O’Neill Junior.
