A
Novice Stakes for two-year-olds over 5f 13y on good to firm going.
Eight juveniles take part all debutantes bar one horse with race
experience.
Poignant
is a son of Sepoy and trained by Archie Watson who has been a power of
strength since starting his training career. This chestnut colt is a
homebred for present owner Al Asayl Bloodstock Ltd. He made his debut
just over two weeks ago when making his debut at Leicester finishing
seventh behind easy winner Kick On Kick On trained by Clive Cox. It was a
fair effort if nothing out of the ordinary. The starting odds of 16-1
suggested that he may have been in need of run and better could be
expected on these next few starts.
John
Gallagher doesn't have many two-year-olds in training and very few
winning on debut.To be fair, he does have a few debutantes that go close
and if memory serves one prevailed last year at Goodwood. Green Power
is likely to be a big price here. This March foal is a son of Kheleyf
and £7,000 yearling purchase by the trainer. Best watched.
The
last few years have seen the fortunes of Mich Channon's stable suffer.
From a powerhouse training talented two-year-olds his string is now a
shadow of what used to be and consequently, the victories are harder to
find. Neola is one of two fillies in the field. This daughter of
Foxwedge. The dam, Effie B, used to be trained by Channon and a fair
juvenile winning over £40,000 in total prize money. The betting is the
best guide to this fillies' chances. If priced bigger than 8-1 I would
definitely take a watching brief. If priced in the best betting guide
has some chance although the stable are struggling to hit the headlines.
Another
small trainer is John Holt. Mocead Cappall. This daughter of Captain
Gerrard is out of a dam readers may recall All Fur Coat.She finished
second on debut but managed one victory. Mocead Cappall was purchased by
the trainer at the yearling sales for £9,500. Will be a big price but a
surprise if good enough today.
One
trainer and owner combination that ticks a lot of boxes is John
Fretwell and David Brown. Both talents when it comes to spotting
talented two-year-olds they have done well with some very precocious
types over the years. Snaffled is a bay colt, sired by Camacho
, purchased by Fretwell for 57,000G at the yearling sales. One of the
more fancied runner from a stable who can ready a debutante. Definitely,
on the shortlist especially if priced 13/2 & less SP.
Richard
Fahey has been in flying form this season with his juveniles and one of
few trainers who can get them fitter than a butcher's dog. A number of
winners have been seen on debut and Simmy's Copshop is likely to start
favourite. This chestnut son of Bahamian Bounty is in the ownership of
Middleham Park Racing. He cost 45,000E at the yearling sales. A trainer
who knows how to win and his juveniles have been in form.
Karl
Burk has been a bit hit and miss with his juveniles this season
although we sent out a huge 66-1 winning two-year-old at Ripon on
Thursday. Havana Grey will be more fancied and could well be a big
player. This son of Havana Gold cost 70,000E at the yearling sales, the
price increasing markedly from a foal. Should fit the frame.
The
first two-year-old runner of the season fro Michael Bell. Interesting
to see him with an early juvenile as it is often an indicator they fancy
them to have a level of ability. Choice Encounter is a son of Choisir
and bought in by the vendor for 65,000. Louis Steward takes off a
valuable 3lb. Another horse who should be in the first three.
Conclusion:
We endevour to bring you the best horse racing tips. In general, we're all about big priced outsiders but I don't get a
feeling a big priced winner will shine here. Quite interested in Choice
Encounter who looks a decent each-way bet at odds of 11-2.
