We’ve got a busy day of racing on Thursday with flat action from Newcastle and Southwell, live on Ski Sports Racing…
5.30 Newcastle – Bridget’s View take on Dingle and Angel Hunter
Progressive Bridget’s View takes upon himself Dingle and Angel Hunter in a feature Bet £10 Get £40 with BetMGM Handicap in Newcastle.
Ed Walker’s gelding made it two wins from three all-weather starts when she got the job done at Southwell 41 days ago, and with another to score since then, she may be hard to beat despite a 10lb rise.
Dingle is a solid benchmark for Team Julie Camacho. He is a two-time winner over the distance and showed his well-being with a solid second-placed effort at Kempton last month.
Angel Hunter surpasses Richard Hannon and Cam Hardy. A fine winner at Ascot in October, he also scored at Southwell in October before disappointing at Kempton in the aforementioned race. That leaves him a question mark, but he can be forgiven for one bad race.
4.00 Southwell – In-form New Drinking bid for a quadruple
Now it’s time to drink arrives in red-hot form as he looks for another success in the Make The Move To Midnight Handicap in Southwell.
Gary and Josh Moore’s charge has been excellent since they battled over the longer distances this winter and will surely be a hot order to defy a six pound penalty and make it four wins on the trot under new rider Jude Fernandes.
Neil King trained Arc Zoosve he doubled his career total when claiming the Lingfield Handicap earlier this month and could suit this step back to a mile and three-quarters under Robert Havlin.
Another one to note is the debutant with a handicap Geordie Mackemdoc Prince Quattro may end up closer Now it’s time to drink under these revised conditions.
6.30 Newcastle – Hat-trick chase Buzz Box and Night Storm go head-to-head
Duo in form Buzz Box and Night storm fight a battle in Midnite is not your grandfather’s bookie handicap.
Buzz Box he was last seen winning twice over this course and distance in March and, provided he is fit enough, has plenty of appeal on his debut for his new trainer Michael Herrington.
Night storma course and distance winner in October, maintained his unbeaten all-weather record when winning the Wolverhampton Novice by a margin and is a useful handicap debut prospect for James Tait and Hector Crouch.
King’s crown and Pop star look for alternatives in both directions.
The best of the rest
7.00 Newcastle – Fertile Aisling Oscar could bounce back after making it six wins on the bounce on Tuesday.
5.10 Southwell – Expensive yearling Foxtrot Flier will be popular for Carl Burke.
5.45 Deauville – Interesting competition without racing.
