KAPARD CAN CROWN IT
KAPARD (2.0) should give Henry de Bromhead more glory in the Lady Godiva Novices’ Chase at Warwick.
The mare showed both class and guts to deny the talented Mt Leinster on her fencing bow at Navan.
The grey has a bright future in this sphere so ought to add this warm Listed contest to her CV.
GLIMPSE OF GALA (1.25) can turn up the heat in the trappy Alpha Boilers Handicap Hurdle. Charlie Longsdon’s mare stayed on the rise with a second to On My Command at Market Rasen and this lightly raced type should make a winning handicap debut.
PEMBERLEY (3.0) stands set to shade the tricky M-Tec Handicap Chase for shrewd handler Emma Lavelle.
The eight-year-old was unlucky to encounter the progressive Fantastikas on his return at Lingfield. That was a clear personal best and this tough type can defy a welter burden in a weaker contest.
ROYAL PRETENDER (2.40) looks the real deal in the Dave Criddle Handicap Hurdle at Taunton.
Alan King’s gelding was just denied a hat-trick by Time To Tinker at Wincanton.
The five-year-old is open to plenty of progress so stands to resume winning ways for his thriving yard. NICKOLSON (3.10) looks above par for Olly Murphy in the Dave Criddle Handicap Chase.
The seven-year-old should build on his cracking second to Do Your Job on his fencing debut at Warwick.
FLUTISTE (3.40) can call the tune for Claire Harris in the staying handicap hurdle.
The six-year-old improved when giving winning machine In Rem most resistance at Exeter. Unexposed for his trainer, the gelding can go one better over three miles. DRAGONFRUIT (1.45) looks a tasty choice for Oliver Greenall in the MansionBet Chase at Newcastle.
The six-year-old ran another stormer when second to Shanroe Al C at Ayr.
And UNITED FRONT (5.30) can extend Michael Appleby’s superb run on the flat at Chelmsford. The gelding won’t mind dropping back to a mile after hammering Emblem Empire at Lingfield.
