HE’S SUMMIT SPECIAL

- BY GARRY OWEN

ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN (5.30) can stand tall for thriving Iain Jardine on the Wolverhamp­ton all-weather.

The speedster handled this track well when slamming Fair And Square in a similar event last month.

The gelding scored with plenty in hand so ought to shrug off a well-earned 7lb hike under Andrew Mullen.

COMPLIANT (7.30) rates a typical James Fanshawe improver in the talkSPORT

Handicap. The filly stands to defy a lenient 4lb penalty for decisively defeating Broctune Red at Newcastle a month ago.

Philip Kirby’s CARACRISTI (8.0) can cost the bookies dear in the BetUK Handicap.

The three-year-old was an excellent second to Guitar over a mile here a week ago.

The filly was staying on strongly so should triumph over this extra furlong for her in-form handler. VITESSE DU SON (8.30) stands to show his rivals a clean pair of heels for skilled Alice Haynes.

The five-year-old was better than ever when chasing home Measured Moments over track and trip three days ago.

The gelding still lurks on an attractive mark so gets the nod in a slightly weaker event.

POP DANCER (1.12) should put his best foot forward again for Tony Carroll at Lingfield.

The five-year-old completed a hat-trick by outpointin­g La Roca Del Fuego over course and distance last month.

The sprinter is in the form of his life so should make light of a 2lb rise in an easier race.

The shrewd handler ought to double up in the lucky last with COME TO PASS (3.20).

The three-year-old relished 1m 2f when dismissing George Ridsdale here last month.

The gelding was value for more than the half-length verdict so can follow up from a kind draw. Ivan Furtado is hitting form so GIORGIO VASARI (1.42) is worth backing in the Spreadex Handicap.

The four-year-old defeated Fly The Nest three days ago at Wolverhamp­ton and is fairly treated versus struggling foes.

RIVER CHORUS (2.20) can stay on song for Phil McEntee in the Spreadex Bonuses Handicap. The filly won’t mind returning to a mile after routing Huntsman’s Moon at Wolverhamp­ton last Friday.

THE cold snap has wiped out today’s NH meetings at Market Rasen and Plumpton – while putting all-weather Flat cards at Lingfield and Wolverhamp­ton in jeopardy.

Officials at Lingfield will check the racing surface – the forecast is for snow and temperatur­es of -3C – at 7.30am. Wolverhamp­ton counterpar­ts will inspect at 10am for their fixture.
