Bear Ghylls looks good to extend jumps win streak

-

BEAR Ghylls looks an exciting prospect for the Nicky Martin stable and can take his unbeaten record over jumps to three in the Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Handicap Hurdle at Exeter tomorrow. After wins at Lingfield and Ffos Las, the six-year-old moves into a handicap for the first time.

Fortescue should be primed for success in the Watch On Racing TV Handicap Chase after two runs since returning from a 245-day absence. Henry Daly’s seven-year-old needed his first comeback run at Exeter, then went down by only a neck to Snuff Box at Bangor last month. He can make it third time lucky.

Nick Vedder produced a decisive turn of foot to score in style at Southwell last weekend - and can repeat the trick in the £betyourway At Betway Handicap. Robyn Brisland’s eight-year-old has to defy a 4lb penalty for his victory by three-quarters of a length from Qaaraat over this six furlongs.

Geography Teacher can find his way home in front in the Bombardier Handicap. All of his last eight races have been over the same one-mile trip, with two wins and three placed to his credit. The five-year-old, trained by Kevin Frost, has only once run badly in that spell - and he can add to his tally of wins.

Liamba can make it two victories from three starts for Mick Appleby in the Bombardier British Hopped Amber Beer Handicap. She has gone up 4lb to a career-high mark of 72 but she seems to be thriving in her surroundin­gs and could be up to the task.

Appleby can also strike with Swinton Noon in the Get Your Ladbrokes Daily Odds Boost Handicap. The Sepoy colt has his first run as a threeyear-old, having ended his juvenile campaign with a second career success two weeks ago.

Tellmeyour­story made a promising debut and can get off the mark in the Bombardier ‘March To Your Own Drum’ Maiden Stakes. Mark Johnston’s filly was unconsider­ed in the betting at 25-1 but belied her odds to take second place, just a length behind Alvarino at Lingfield. With the benefit of that run under her belt, Tellmeyour­story can go one better.
