BE A RISQUE TAKER

AUCUNRISQU­E (3.50) looks a safe bet in the Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton.

- BY GARRY OWEN

Chris Gordon’s gelding improved again this month when hammering the talented Mark Of Gold at Plumpton.

The six-year-old jumped beautifull­y so should get the better of promising opponents.

LUCKOFTHED­RAW (2.50) stands to shade the Racingtv. com Handicap Chase for Toby Bulgin. The gelding put in his best shift yet over fences when giving Farinet most problems at Sandown this month.

That race is working out nicely so this consistent type ought to star down in class.

NO FLIES ON ME (1.30) can clean up for thriving trainer Mark Johnston on the allweather at Lingfield.

The filly chinned Platinum Prince over track and trip 11 days ago, only to be demoted to second by the stewards. The four-year-old is well treated so looks set to gain compensati­on in a weaker event.

The Middleham maestro is well placed to add the AWC Handicap to his tally with DUTCH DECOY (3.30).

The gelding won’t mind returning to a mile after his second to the useful Tadleel at Newcastle five days ago.

RIVER WALK (2.40) can bag a fascinatin­g novices’ hurdle at Catterick for in-form

Donald McCain. The gelding rates a surefire improver after routing Mexican Boy on his timber bow at Musselburg­h.

The handler should also take the handicap hurdle with winning machine MINELLA PLUS (3.10).

Tim Easterby’s RELKADAM (3.40) is ready to enjoy a welldeserv­ed win in the RacingTV Handicap Chase.

The eight-year-old ran a blinder this month when just denied by File Illico over almost two miles at Wetherby. The gelding can go one better over an extra four furlongs.

TAKEONEFOR­THETEAM (6.0) is worth punting in the Unibet Handicap at Kempton.

Mark Loughnane’s charge ought to overcome a tough draw under Luke Morris.

And MINISTER FOR MAGIC (6.30) looks spellbindi­ng for Harry Dunlop in the Uniboost Handicap after a sublime second to L’enclume here over a furlong more.
