Miss Perfect for Lingfield
MISS HERITAGE is poised to strike in the Casumo Horse Racing and Sports Betting Handicap Hurdle at Lingfield after two promising runs following her summer break.
Lucy Wadham’s seven-year-old finished just behind the placed horses in Listed handicap hurdles at Ascot and Sandown in what were competitive, as well as quite valuable, races.
With those under her belt, Miss Heritage should be in peak form now and has the added advantage of being dropped a total of 4lb despite those two respectable efforts.
Silver Nickel can land the Download The Casumo App Today Handicap Chase following a decent run over the near three-mile trip on this course earlier this month.
Seamus Mullins’ seven-year-old held every chance until the heavy ground took its toll and he weakened to finish fourth behind Don Herbager.
Beaten only nine lengths, it was still a creditable effort and a similar effort can see him go close.
Fearless shaped well on his first run for eight months recently and that gives him strong claims in the Casumo Proud To Support British Racing Novices’ Handicap Chase.
The six-year-old, trained by Olly Murphy, was hampered at a crucial stage of the race - yet was only beaten three and three-quarter lengths when second to Dr Sanderson at Ayr. He remains on a handy mark, despite being put up 1lb for that encouraging display.
Oscar Clouds can make up for an unlucky run last time by winning the Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle at Musselburgh.
The Nicky Richards-trained gelding was going easily when he was hampered by a faller at the third-last flight at Doncaster last month.
He was never able to recover from that, and a mistake at the penultimate obstacle put him out of contention altogether as he ended up beaten 27 lengths in fifth place behind Ginger Du Val.
The handicapper has dropped him 2lb for good measure, giving Oscar Clouds a big chance as long as he gets round without mishap.
Broadway Joe has been on an upward curve of late and can continue the trend with victory in the Watch On Racing TV Novices’ Handicap Chase.
Wins at Kelso and over this extended two and a half miles on his first two starts over fences have seen Nick Alexander’s in-form seven-year-old go up 13lb.
He has obviously taken a shine to the bigger obstacles and there looks to be more improvement in him.
Carey Street did a lot of the donkey work when showing gritty determination to win over nine and a half furlongs at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and a repeat looks on the cards.
The five-year-old, trained by Linda Stubbs, heads for the Betway Handicap with just a 2lb rise for his neck call over Tio Mio. The Bungle Inthejungle gelding looked value for more than the winning margin and he can double up in style.
