RACING: Threetime winner renews solid partnership
RINGARINGAROSIE is all set for another successful raid on Sedgefield.
Martin Todhunter’s front-running handicapper is a three-time winner this season, including twice at this track which suits her running style.
She is capable of throwing in the occasional moderate run, but was at her most convincing when dispatching
Instant Replay over slightly further last month.
The subsequent six-week break is unusual for the busy mare, and she should therefore be freshened up ideally for the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Novices’ Handicap Chase.
Ringaringarosie will be running off a career-high mark in a better grade, but she again has the assistance of talented claimer Danny Mcmenamin and in receipt of weight all round, the partnership may take some catching.
LA CAVSA NOSTRA got rid of his rider at Warwick as a well-backed favourite last week, but has an obvious opportunity to make amends in the Mansionbet Faller Insurance Chase.
His Warwick spill excepted, the former Irish point winner has taken well to chasing for new connections, and made a mockery of his 16-1 starting price with a wide-margin Chepstow victory.
All eyes will be on BREWIN’ UPASTORM as he lines up in Taunton’s Michael Spiers Novices’ Chase.
The six-year-old proved near Grade One calibre over hurdles last term, finishing second to Reserve Tank at Aintree on his final start.
He made a satisfactory start over fences at Carlisle last month, looking an unlikely winner with five still to jump. However, he made his class tell to get into contention and eventually proved a head too good for Good Boy Bobby.
