SONIC IS THE TONIC
MAY SONIC (3.20) can power to victory for Charlie Hills in the Unibet Handicap at Kempton.
The four-year-old relished returning to six furlongs when hacking up from Eye Of The
Water on Turf at Windsor. The gelding has a decent record at this venue so she can shrug off a well-earned 6lb hike under William Buick.
BRECKLAND (1.45) can enhance Michael Appleby’s enviable record here in the nursery. Jamie Osborne does well on the all-weather so I’m backing MYKONOS ST JOHN (3.50). The three-year-old remains nicely unexposed after slamming Cesifire on his handicap bow at Windsor.
BURKE AND WILLS (4.20) can maintain trainer Ed Walker’s impressive winning streak.
The gelding can do plenty of damage in handicaps after his eye-catching third to Kettle Hill at Windsor recently.
BIRKENHEAD (3.40) is worth punting in the Routh Carrs Handicap at Beverley.
Les Eyre’s sprinter lurks on an attractive Turf mark after his narrow loss to Astrozone on the Newcastle all-weather.
Mark Johnston’s PUCKLE (4.45) can gun down her rivals in the Walkington Handicap.
The three-year-old opened her account with a game defeat of Dangeroffizz over course and distance last week so can defy a 6lb hike under the excellent Joe Fanning.
HUA MULAN (5.15) should stay firmly on the upgrade for Carluke handler Keith Dalgleish. KESARINA (5.50) rates a typical Sir Michael Stoute improver in the fillies’ handicap. The three-year-old looked ready for the step up to 1m 4f when fourth to Punting in hotter company at Sandown. BENNY AND THE JETS (5.35) can boost Oisin Murphy’s jockey’s title defence at Wolverhampton. The speedster lurks on a workable all-weather mark after his unlucky fourth at Goodwood. CUPID’S BEAU (6.40) can make a winning handicap debut for David Loughnane. The gelding can build on his eye-catching second to Sermon here last time. Shaun Keightley’s IMAGE OF THE MOON (8.10) should be primed after her second to Ghaly at Newmarket.
