RIVALS ROO THE DAY

- BY GARRY OWEN

ROOFUL (2.20) looks set to make it a sad day for the bookies in the Unibet Extra Handicap at Kempton.

Eve Johnson Houghton’s mare was only denied a hattrick by the thriving Zealot here last month.

The five-year-old is in peak form so can gain compensati­on back over seven furlongs.

SASSY REDHEAD (12.50) should turn on the charm for shrewd William Stone in the opener. The sprinter stayed upwardly mobile when chasing home Miss Moonshine over track and trip 12 days ago.

The filly still lurks on an attractive mark so can deliver under in-form Collen Storey.

Tom Marquand is an eyecatchin­g booking by John Long for MAGICINTHE­MAKING (1.20). The mare bounced back when denying Nick Vedder over seven furlongs here this month. The nine-year-old is every bit as good over six so ought to defy a lenient 3lb hike in a trappy contest.

LORDSBRIDG­E GIRL (1.50) should bag the Racingtv. com Handicap for thriving trainer William Knight.

The four-year-old brushed aside Asdaa over course and distance 16 days ago. That race is working out extremely well so this pacy type stands to make light of a 3lb penalty.

DANCHOVSKA (2.10) can extend Charlie Wallis’ decent run in the classified event at Southwell. The filly should win with a repeat of this month’s fine second to Tennessee Dream at Wolverhamp­ton.

ZEALOT (3.40) ought to seal a superb five-timer for thriving handler Michael Appleby.

The five-year-old hammered

Dingle in a strong contest here 13 days ago so should shrug off another 6lb rise up in class.

MISS BELLADONNA (5.10) makes plenty of appeal for Derek Shaw in the BetUK

Handicap. The speedster ran a blinder when narrowly beaten by Angle Land in a similar event here this month and still lurks on a nice mark with a cracking draw.

OUTRACE (6.0) looks set to leave his rivals trailing in the dust at Wolverhamp­ton.

Richard Hannon’s colt was second to the improving Demilion here 18 days ago.

The three-year-old was well clear of the rest so can deliver in a competitiv­e handicap.
