IT’S TIME FOR SHOTS
TWO SHOTS OF TEQUILA (4.0) looks potent in the novices’ handicap chase at Wetherby.
Rebecca Menzies’ six-yearold relished three miles when routing Everyday Champagne at Doncaster 18 days ago.
The gelding won’t mind the softer conditions so stands poised to defy a 7lb penalty for his thriving handler.
JUKEBOX D’EDDY (1.40) ought to call the tune for Tom Gretton in the conditionals’ hurdle. The gelding recorded a career best when chinned by
Darkest Day on his handicap bow here 15 days ago.
The youngster looks open to progress so should go one better in a slightly weaker race.
TRAPISTA (2.50) can silence rivals for Jonjo O’Neill in the Sandra Finch Handicap Chase.
The mare improved again over fences when third to
Charlie’s Glance last month at Huntingdon. The six-yearold was staying on strongly so should open her account over almost three furlongs more.
HARTUR D’OUDAIRIES (3.25) looks set to extend Dan Skelton’s terrific run in the handicap hurdle. The six-yearold stands to deliver after last month’s near miss against
Mr Freedom at Warwick.
Philip Kirby is hitting form so HERITIER DE SIVOLA (4.35) is worth backing in the Racingtv.com Hurdle. The sixyear-old raised his game when chasing home Piaff Bubbles over track and trip in January.
The gelding looks nicely unexposed as a stayer so can bag a competitive contest.
SUBLIME HEIGHTS (3.35) stands to soar in the LWC Handicap Chase at Plumpton.
Toby Lawes’ gelding bagged his third win at this venue when routing Fawsley Spirit last month and should make light of a well-earned 8lb hike.
GOLD CLERMONT (4.10) can sparkle in the Sussex Inns Handicap Chase. Andy Irvine’s mare left poor timber form behind when crushing River Tyne on her fencing bow here eight days ago so ought to follow up despite a fair 7lb rise.
BOLD SOLDIER (4.25) looks deadly for Warren Greatrex at Market Rasen.
The eight-year-old stayed upwardly mobile over hurdles when second to Well Dick at Uttoxeter on Hogmanay and is on a reasonable opening mark.
