Mark Johnston is riding the crest of a wave at the minute with nine winners last week, most notably Universal in The Princess of Wales Stakes and he looks to be Ascot bound for a tilt at The King George. Joe Fanning did the steering there and also takes the leg up on Dame Nellie Melba in Beverley’s mile handicap at 3.30. The filly was a massive eye-catcher last time out at Doncaster in a hot maiden when making striking late progress. Her opening mark of 68 looks lenient and the 3-y-o also receives 8lb against her older rivals. She looks the best bet of the day.
Elsewhere on the card Choc’A’Moca has a good chance of bouncing back to form in the five furlong handicap at 2.30. He was disappointing last time but that run can be attributed to him not liking the trip. Before that he was in good heart running three solid efforts over the minimum trip. He has good course and distance form to his name and will likely attempt to make all under top weight.
Despite finishing out of the frame in all three starts so far this season there are plenty of signs that Nassau Storm is shaping up to have a good second half to the season. He runs in Yarmouth’s six furlong handicap at 7.20 and the race looks absolutely perfect for him. After running in 0-95 and 0-105 company he carries top weight in a 0-90 where his class should prevail on course to much stronger races throughout the season.
On her two starts so far this season Chris Wall’s Blessing Box has been punted like she is far better than a 65 rated filly and will no doubt have the money come for her again in the 7.50. The key to unlocking her potential could be the drop down to five furlongs after showing plenty of early pace at both Yarmouth and Warwick. Seb Sanders takes the ride and looks somewhere near his best again as seen on Sun Central on Saturday.
It may prove to be a puzzling one but I think Jillnextdoor is a very interesting runner down at Bath for their 0-95 six furlong handicap at 4.15. The filly was rated 103 when fifth to Rosdhu Queen in The Cheveley Park Stakes last season and her revised mark of 87 has left her in limbo between handicaps and pattern races. She didn’t handle Chester on Saturday but her run before at Ayr hinted at promise when staying on in a competitive race at Ayr in behind My Propeller and Jwala. There’s a fine line between genius and insane; let’s hope we’re on the right side of it.
Exceeder looks the star attraction at Kempton and looks a good thing in the maiden at 6.00. Marco Botti’s smart looking son of Exceed and Excel was second on debut in a competitive Nottingham maiden before chasing home Brian Meehan’s exciting Ertijaal at Yarmouth. He sets the bar pretty high and there are fewer better jockeys to do the steering around Kempton than Silvestre De Sousa.
Elsewhere on the card Progenitor will be well fancied in the mile handicap at 8.00 but having his first start for 262 days could see him vulnerable against fresher rivals. Ocean Applause won a poor maiden at the track last week and under a penalty would have similar doubts. Magique is extremely quirky but she’s back in trip after showing promise on her return here in May and then at Sandown. Trainer Jeremy Noseda is operating at a 24% strike-rate with his 3-y-o’s in 2013 and Ryan Moore is in the plate.
