GUARANTEE OF SHOT
SAMMY’S GUARANTEE (3.15) looks rock solid in the SBK Handicap Hurdle at Doncaster.
Tom Lacey’s horse saw the benefits of wind surgery when staying on strongly to slam Classic King here last month.
The mare should cash in on an inviting mark over a little more than 2m 3f.
PIC ROC (12.55) stands to get off the mark for Ben Pauling in the maiden hurdle.
And the thriving handler ought to double up with
WRECKLESS ERIC (2.05) in the novices’ hurdle. The gelding was second to Valadon on his timber bow at Newbury last month in what is stellar form.
FETE CHAMPETRE (1.30) can get the party started for Rose Dobbin in the SBK Chase.
The gelding recorded a career best in December when routing Restandbethankful at Musselburgh. The bay was value for more than the length verdict so can defy a 5lb hike.
Anthony Charlton is flying so ILANZ (2.40) gets the nod in the SBK Handicap Hurdle.
The gelding built on nice efforts when pipping Idefix De Ciergues at Wincanton last month. The six-year-old is unexposed so should shrug off an 8lb rise upped in class.
Alan King excels here so BETTERFOREVERYONE (3.50) deserves backing in the handicap chase. The gelding hit back when giving Fenland Tiger most problems over 3m 2f here a month ago.
That was a strong contest so the seven-year-old ought to go one better down in trip.
TERRESITA (1.05) stands to land the odds in the novices’ chase at Huntingdon.
Lucy Wadham’s gelding was second to Jacks Touch on his fencing bow over 2m 4f here last month and can reverse the placings under Harry Cobden.
GOBLET OF FIRE (1.40) looks spellbinding for Nicky Henderson in the novices’ handicap hurdle.
The gelding hammered
Maasai Mara at Hereford five weeks ago in a warm novice so can star off an attractive mark.
HANDSTANDS (2.50) seems set to bag a terrific renewal of the Sidney Banks Memorial Novices’ Hurdle.
Team Pauling’s bay crushed
Taras Halls at Newcastle last month and looks a proper graded performer.
