Zip will be too quick for rivals

ZIP would not be winning out of turn if he can get his head in front in the Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost EBF Novice Stakes at Southwell.

Trained by Richard Fahey, the Kyllachy colt found just one too good here last time out and could in fact be counted an unfortunate loser.

Honey Gg is enjoying life at the Nottinghamshire track and ought to be thereabouts once more in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Handicap.

Richard Hughes opted to bring him here at the end of last month and was rewarded with a decent effort in second.

He made reasonable late headway at Wolverhampton and remains on the same mark.

She seemed to act well enough on her all-weather debut at Newcastle last month, to suggest she can do a bit better again.

Scoop The Pot can do just that in the NetBet Handicap Chase at Fontwell.

Philip Hobbs is a much more frequent visitor to the winner’s enclosure than he was last year and this eight-year-old added to the Minehead trainer’s gains when last seen at Exeter.

Virtually everything that could go wrong did so for Snazz Man here way back in May, and he still won.
