Casual Cavalier can brush aside rivals at Wetherby

- By GLENDALE

Casual Cavalier showed he is no back-number at the age of 12 when going in at Catterick four weeks ago and is taken to double-up in the Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Handicap Chase at Wetherby.

It was the gelding’s first win in five starts for trainer Tristan Davidson after leaving Henry Oliver’s yard. A rise of 4lb for that performanc­e should not make much difference, as he had been coming down the weights for some time.

Secrete Stream got back on track with a narrow success atwetherby­lasttimean­dcan repeat the trick on his return to the West Yorkshire venue in the Join Racing TV Now Handicap Hurdle.

Ruth Jefferson has had a far from smooth run with the 11-year-old, who has been prone to training troubles throughout his career.

However, he regained winning ways on his second start following a 239-day absence. All appears to have gone well in the interim to suggest he can oblige again.

Deal A Dollar can reel in the cash in the Betway Handicap at Wolverhamp­ton.

The impeccably-bred fouryear-old has yet to live up to his excellent pedigree being by Frankel out of Group Two winner Cape Dollar, but he still has time on his side.

There were definite signs of a form revival at Kempton last time out, when he was fourth to the reopposing Sky Defender, but the selection is 5lb better off. He sticks to a mile and a half here and can be rewarded with a victory.
