THIS IS YOUR SONG

- BY GARRY OWEN

CENTURION SONG (4.40) can take command in the Betway Handicap on the all-weather at Southwell.

Brian Meehan’s sprinter handled fibresand well when edging out Slowmo over course and distance last month.

The four-year-old remains nicely unexposed on this surface so ought to follow up for his shrewd trainer.

Ivan Furtado does well here so it’s worth siding with FLY TRUE (5.40) in the Bombardier Handicap. The four-time course winner looked ready to strike when going down to Magnificia here last month.

Tim Easterby’s PERFECT SWISS (6.10) should resume winning ways after trying to live with Star Of St James here.

MARVE (6.40) can shade a competitiv­e sprint for skilled handler Lawrence Mullaney.

The three-year-old bolted up from Ghost Rider in novice company over track and trip. That race is working out well so the gelding should make a winning handicap debut.

The Betway Casino Handicap is a tricky contest but it’s worth backing David Thompson’s DIRCHILL (7.10).

The speedster put in his best shift for a while when second to Samovar over course and distance 12 days ago.

The seven-year-old lurks on an attractive mark so stands to go one better under Hollie Doyle. There are worthwhile bets at Fakenham headed by FRISCO BAY (12.55).

Jonjo O’Neill’s hurdler is open to plenty of progress after giving Zhiguli most resistance at Huntingdon last month.

DUNDRUM WOOD (1.25) stands poised to extend Olly Murphy’s winning run in the novices’ chase with a repeat of his defeat of Central Flame at Newcastle.

Fergal O’Brien is also in peak form, which means CROSS GALES FAME GAME (1.55) is an appealing option.

The hurdler can capitalise on a drop in class after her cracking third to The White Mouse at Cheltenham.

MINELLA ENCORE (2.25) ought to claim a fascinatin­g novices’ chase for Dr Richard Newland after a narrow loss to the classy Mahler at Kelso.

Ben Pauling is flying and can bag the mares’ hurdle with UISCE UR (3.55), the mare still sitting on a workable mark.
