PULL THE TRIGGER
TRIGGERED (6.30) is ready to continue Team Loughnane’s fine start to 2023 at Southwell tonight.
The seven-year-old seemed to be going off the boil when a disappointing fourth at Chelmsford but returned to form when just denied by the improving Sense Of Security at Kempton.
The gelding goes well here so he can take advantage of an attractive mark.
BOBBY DASSLER (5.30) can sparkle on debut for Tom Ward in the Spreadex Handicap.
The gelding was a cracking second to Dazzling Spirit at Leopardstown on his last run for Team Harty. That was a hot contest so the four-year-old can go one better for his ultrashrewd new connections.
WRITTEN BROADCAST
(6.00) can deservedly get his head in front in the classified contest. Ollie Pears’ grey ran another stormer when second to Atrafan in a similar event over track and trip.
The gelding is unexposed for his current yard so he can turn the tables on his rival from a kind draw.
VESPASIAN (7.00) can triumph for Team Crisford in the BetUK Handicap.
The four-year-old improved again when a close third to Tyger Bay over six furlongs at Lingfield.
The sprinter should be even better over five so can prevail in a competitive contest.
SOARING STAR (7.30) can fly for Phillip Kirby in the Top Odds Handicap.
The gelding showed signs of a revival when fourth to Victory March at Newcastle.
The six-year-old has dropped to a winning mark so can maintain his handler’s excellent run.
Steve Woods is hitting top gear so I like THIRD BATCH (8.00) in the maiden. The filly improved for the step up to a mile when narrowly beaten by Star Of Mayo at Lingfield.
So the three-year-old can get the better of some promising newcomers.
JOHN O’GROATS (8.30) can extend Michael Bell’s winning streak in the lucky last.
The four-year-old was unlucky to meet Run Teddy Run on his handicap bow here.
The gelding remains welltreated so he can gain due compensation.
