CHIL IT’S IN THE BAG

- BY GARRY OWEN

CHIL CHIL (4.05) can maintain Andrew Balding’s winning streak in the feature sprint at Bath.

The filly ran another stormer when fifth on unsuitably soft ground in hotter company at Salisbury last time.

The speedster was favourite for Friday’s Ayr Gold Cup, a race she is set to miss over fears of easy ground, so will take some stopping in these much calmer waters.

GRAND SCHEME (2.30) looks another smart juvenile prospect for Richard Hannon.

The colt is open to plenty of progress after his second to Classic Lord at Goodwood.

William Haggas is thriving and should bag the nursery with IMPULSIVE ONE (3.05).

The colt made a fine start to his handicap career when just denied by Sixntwothr­ees at Windsor. That was a strong race so this juvenile is set to go one better under in-form pilot Tom Marquand.

CAPTAIN CLARET (3.35) can take command for inform Eve Johnson Houghton.

The three-year-old landed his maiden in style from Zeimaam over course and distance and ought to shade a trappy event for his handler.

UNION ROSE (4.35) can follow up Friday’s Sandown success for Ron Harris. The eight-year-old is fairly treated after that defeat of Brunel’s in a slightly better contest.

Boy TOOLATETOD­ELEGATE

(5.10) should enjoy her fourth victory at the Somerset venue.

Brian Barr’s mare shaped like her turn was near when giving Blessed To Empress most resistance at Chelmsford.

NIRODHA (2.05) can keep up Amy Murphy’s excellent run on a tricky card at Thirsk.

The unexposed filly should defy a well-earned 5lb hike for slamming the useful Grace And Virtue at Haydock. John

Quinn’s (2.40) is the call in a brutally competitiv­e nursery. The filly should relish six furlongs after finishing second to Mokaman over five at Catterick.

EAGLE’S FOOT (4.15) can make a winning handicap bow for James Bethell after his fair fifth over track and trip.

BOLLIN MARGARET (4.45) stands poised to stay on the upgrade for Tim Easterby after chasing home the well-treated Hua Mulan at Beverley.
