It looks a really good card for a Sunday afternoon, and credit has to go the racecourse, with some strong connections taking advantage of the better (in comparison to usual Sunday afternoon racing) prize money.
SUD PACIFIQUE boasts a smart flat pedigree, and was a good horse formerly owned by Sir Robert Ogden, and trained by Jeremy Noseda, winning handicaps up to 10 furlongs. He got his neck in front last time out at Cartmel, just, but there may be more to come. The son of Montjeu should be a decent price due to Cape Express of Nicky Henderson and Shaloon of John Ferguson in the race.
BALLBOUGH GORTA suggested enough on his return from a break that there may be more to come than the bare result of his third in first time blinkers over course and distance in handicap company for the first time. Now with Peter Bowen, he has struck up a fruitful partnership with Jamie Moore, who continues to ride well, particularly for his father throughout the summer. Although beaten 27 lengths, he was severely eased, and is down 3lb in the handicap, and likely to appreciate the added moisture in the ground.
ROLLINROLLINROLLIN was well backed when winning a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last month and has been given a more than reasonable opening mark of 107. The well bred son of Oscar will appreciate being stepped up in trip, and it would be no surprise to see him being able to go on a little sequence of wins from here.
KAYFTON PETE has Tom Scudamore riding for the family and he looks to have decent enough claims in the two mile handicap hurdle. The Kayf Tara gelding has been rejuvenated since joining this yard, with form figures of 3146 since moving stables, and he looks progressive. Tiring last time out on firm ground has led to a 5lb rise and a drop in trip from running over two and a half miles, and gives him a mark he could easily exploit.
Advised:
2.20 Sud Pacificque
3.20 Ballybough Gorta
3.50 Rollinrollinrollin (Nap)
4.50 Kayfton Pete
Pontefract
MOLLYVATOR runs for the Karl Burke stable and is well related to three winners and is a son of Derby winner Motivator. The filly ran second behind Pay Freeze last time out at York who went on to run with credit at Royal Ascot, and she sets a decent standard in an average maiden.
KATHLATINO runs for the in form duo of Micky Hammond and Kelly Harrison, an underrated partnership in the north. She had a disappointing campaign last season but returned from a long break with a good win at Redcar, a 33/1 shock on the day. Under a 6lb penalty the mare ran another strong race finishing second, and running on well towards the end. She has clearly found her appetite for racing again, and although up another 5lb is likely to give another strong account.
DESCARO is a tough campaigner for the David O’ Meara stable, who are in red hot form, another 10/1 winner in a northern handicap yesterday, this time Redcar, and his horses seemingly slip under the radar. He has slipped down to a mark of 67, a mark he won off last time this slow at Pontefract over course and distance. The handicapper seems to have given him a chance, and with his old protagonist Sylvester De Sousa back on board and back on form, he looks a big price.
Tom Dascombe and Richard Kingscote team up in the last with an unexposed three year old colt having his first run in handicap company, and fresh from a run in a Newbury maiden where he never threatened, but nor was he ever asked a question. ANTON CHIGURH will be around the 10/1 mark but since his poor run in his second maiden, he will have been put away for this level of racing and has a mark of 74, so although the handicapper hasn’t given him too much slack, he is obviously respected. He was only eight lengths off the winner in his last maiden, and although not significant, the form has worked out well and is another plus.
Advised:
2.10 Mollyvator
2.40 Kathlatino
4.10 Descaro
5.10 Anton Chigurh
