REAL GULF IN CLASS

- BY GARRY OWEN

DESERT GULF (3:35) can just shade the competitiv­e Ladbrokes Conditions Stakes at Newcastle.

Wi l liam Knight ’s colt showed guts to beat Lauded on debut at Wolverhamp­ton.

The juvenile looks a classy sprinter in the making so he can deny some exciting rivals for his skilled handler.

INTRINSIC BOND (3:00) can enhance Tracey Waggott’s cracking record at this venue.

Impressive here in March, the sprinter improved again when outbattlin­g Wrenthorpe at Redcar last time.

The three-year-old remains open to progress so he can defy a lenient 3lb hike back on the all-weather.

Antony Brittain also does well here and he can strike again with TRAVELLER (4:10).

The five-year-old can shrug off a 5lb penalty for slamming

With Promise over course and distance on Friday.

KILCONQUHA­R (4:40) can claim a trappy sprint for Borders handler Alistair Whillans.

The three-year-old returned to form when bolting up from Harry’s Ridge over track and trip last week.

The gelding is nicely unexposed for his current yard so he can follow up under skilled claimer Billy Garritty.

(5:40)

LORD OF THE GLEN

can bag his sixth career win at this track for Jim Goldie.

The gelding edged out Arcavallo here recently and he can confirm his superiorit­y once again at today’s weights.

ADDOSH (2:00) can extend Hugo Palmer’s winning streak in a hot nursery at Yarmouth. The filly won’t mind dropping back to six furlongs after her good second to Simulation Theory over seven here.

BOLLIN NEIL (2:35) can complete a hat- trick for thriving handler Tim Easterby. The gelding will take some stopping with a repeat of Saturday’s decisive defeat of Rayna’s World at Catterick.

The At The Races Handicap is very tricky but I’m siding with FOX SHINJI (3:10).

Andrew Balding’s horse can gain compensati­on for trying to live with the progressiv­e Bad Company at Nottingham.

Roger Charlton is starting to hit form so I’m rowing in with SELECTO (3:45).
