Astrozone to shine again at Southwell

-

Astrozone rates as one of the better bets on the card at Southwell, where she goes in the Ladbrokes Home Of The Odds Boost Handicap tomorrow.

Bryan Smart's filly does not have too many miles on the clock and has shown her liking for the Fibresand of the Nottingham­shire circuit - striking last time out over course and distance.

That effort saw her get off the mark at the sixth time of asking and was a deserved win too, because she has never been far away.

Left alone by the handicappe­r and with her confidence boosted, another good effort is expected.

Hey Ho Let's Go has been knocking on the door and should again be thereabout­s in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Handicap.

The four-year-old has run well on both starts here since moving to Mark Hoad - twice going close under Robert Havlin, who takes the ride again. With a bit of luck, things will go his way this time.

Will To Win is hard to oppose in the Ladbrokes Football Acca Boosty Handicap.

Fifth first time out in a good maiden at Newmarket in June, before winning at Lingfield later that month, Simon Crisford's charge was off until returning to the fray at Wolverhamp­ton three weeks ago.

Saddled with a 7lb penalty for his Lingfield win - since which he had been gelded he travelled nicely for Jack Mitchell and was always just doing enough to hold main market rival Shine On Brendan.

It is highly likely we have yet to see the best of him, and more improvemen­t is on the cards.

Arabian King makes some appeal in the #BetYourWay At Betway Handicap.

There was encouragem­ent to be taken from his run at Lingfield earlier this month, his first since a break and being gelded - and also a first outing in the care of James Ferguson.

Keen early on and forced to challenge wide into the straight, he stuck at it well to finish a clear second and looks worth this first try at a mile and a half.

Foxy Forever should go close in the Irish Lotto At totesport.com Handicap at

Chelmsford, with the assistance Hollie Doyle in the saddle. He flew home from an unfavourab­le draw when last seen and is still just a pound higher than his last winning mark.

Also at the Essex circuit, it will be disappoint­ing if Thai Terrier cannot get his head in front in the Double Delight Hat-Trick Heaven At
