A real Moment to savour at Warwick

Man of the moment should give a good account in the Wigley Support Fund Handicap Chase at Warwick tomorrow

Tom George’s charge was a smooth winner here in December last year, looking like he might have a bright future, but something presumably was amiss at Sedgefield in January as he was never travelling and was pulled up.

He did not reappear until an outing at Southwell last month, finishing second to Classic Escape, who gave the form a nice boost with his run in the Scottish Borders National at Kelso on Sunday.

That was a nice staying on effort from Man of the moment upped in trip to three miles for the first time and if he has come out of that in good shape then he must take a bit of beating, with the handicapper having kindly dropped him a couple of pounds into the bargain.

Legends Gold can atone for her fall when a beaten favourite last time out with victory in the Wigley Group Lady Godiva Mares’ Novices’ Chase.

Useful over the smaller obstacles, including a fourthplaced finish to Indefatigable here in February before that one went on to score at the Cheltenham Festival, the Rebecca Curtis-trained sixyear-old shapes as having the ability to be even better faced with fences. She was an easy winner at the first time of asking at Ffos Las, although she did jump right there and that was also evident when she tipped up at Uttoxeter.

The likelihood though is that she would have won again, and if her jumping can be ironed out then there are some good races to be won, starting with this Listed event.

Seemingly Soi san interesting contender for Olly Murphy in the Bet 10 Get 20 At Mansion Bet Handi - cap Chase at Newcastle. The seven-year-old has not been seen since chasing home Midnight Moss at Doncaster in February, but that was a decent performance for a fencing debutant. There is every chance he can go one better on his seasonal reappearance at Gosforth Park.

Atholl Street looks a potentially high-class performer in the making and is worth watching at Taunton in division one of the Racing To School Novices’ Hurdle.

Trained by Paul Nicholls in the famous Grand National-winning colours of Trevor He mm ings, the five-yearold really impressed over this course and distance last month, winning with lots in hand and, encouragingly for the future, looking far from the finished article. There should be any amount of progress to come from that and it will be disappointing if he is beaten. Kahe all will be very much expected to make it two wins from three starts in the Cashback Nursery Handicap at Chelmsford.
