Insurgence can bounce back on return to turf

Fanshawe’s charge switched back to seven furlongs after failing over mile

INSURGENCE can bounce back from a lacklustre effort last time by winning the Club188 Exclusive Offers Handicap at Sandown.

James Fanshawe’s charge had made strides on the all-weather, winning three of his four starts, including when victorious in a competitive heat at Kempton last month.

However, switched to turf at Yarmouth at the end of June, Insurgence struggled to make the same kind of impact, trailing home an eight-length fourth of five runners.

Racing over a mile that day, he perhaps did not enjoy the most favourable of positions on the track and just ran out of gas in the final furlong. Switching back to seven furlongs, Insurgence is worth another try on turf.

HEARTWARMING had to settle for second on her racecourse bow at Sandown last month but can step up on that in the Club188 Hospitality EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes back at the Esher track.

A half-sister to Heartache, she ran a bit green to be beaten less than a length, with winner Kurious subsequently running a creditable race in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot.

EMPLOYER is the pick in the Bet & Watch At 188bet.co.uk Handicap after a close-run thing last time out.

He was beaten just a length into third at Yarmouth but hardly helped his cause by hanging across the track, so if he can chart a more direct route, he has more to give.

JFOUL is worth a try in the Smith & Graham/Love Property Nursery Handicap at Catterick, despite making hard work of winning at Chelmsford.
