FUN FOR THE MONEY
FUNAMBULE SIVOLA (1.25) can extend Venetia Williams’ winning run in the Mansionbet Novice Chase at Newbury.
The gelding bounced back when cosily dismissing Shut The Box in a hot event over course and distance. The six-year-old is open to plenty of progress so he can follow up in another fascinating contest.
HOI POLLOI (12.55) can land a warm novices’ hurdle for trainer Emma Lavelle. The six-year-old remains nicely unexposed after his excellent debut second to Fancy Foundations at Hereford.
HAMILTON’S FANTASY (2.0) can continue Nicky Henderson’s revival in the mares’ novice hurdle. The six-year-old can excel over timber after her good second to Wonderwall in a strong Ascot bumper.
Henderson can double up in the Mansionbet Handicap
Chase with EL KALDOUN (3.35). The six-year-old put in his best effort over fences when outbattling the useful Storm Home at Taunton and should be primed after a spin on the all-weather.
Alan King is in peak form and he can bag a tricky twomiler with HEART OF A LION (2.30). The hurdler sits on a kind mark for his handicap debut after chasing home the classy Atholl Street at Taunton.
PANIC ATTACK (3.05) looks a typical David Pipe improver in the mares’ handicap hurdle.
The talented five-year-old can shrug off an 11lb hike for slamming Born To Please over track and trip.
NIGHTBOATTOCLYRO (2.40) can call the tune in the Craig Jones Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. The seven-yearold cosily defeated Hooper on debut for Samuel Drinkwater over two miles at Doncaster.
The gelding rates a sure-fire improver for his shrewd new handler so he can defy a 5lb hike up in trip.
COCONUT SPLASH (1.35) can open his account over fences at the second time of asking. Evan Williams’ horse can score with any repeat of his debut second to Messire Des Obeaux at Wincanton.
BALLYBOUGH NORA (3.50) can turn the tables on rival Kapga De Lily in the mares’ chase. Peter Niven’s MALYSTIC (1.50) can claim a competitive ‘jumpers’ bumper’ at Newcastle.
