DOUBLE: Aldaary and Win O’Clock.


Aldaary can confirm the impression of his winning debut by following up in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Leicester.

Trained by William Haggas-trained, the Territories gelding comfortably put his rivals to the sword at Yarmouth on soft ground earlier this month and conditions should again be in his favour.

He really did travelled sweetly that day before quickening smartly when asked and it will be disappointing if he cannot defy his penalty for that win.

Win O’Clock can go one better than on his last visit to this track when he tackles the Sir Gordon Richards Handicap.

Roger Charlton’s colt put in good late work to take second place over the course and distance behind a progressive type in Arctic Sound, in what was a well-contested event.

He was two lengths in front of the third horse, Brentford Hope, who has always been held in high regard and has absolutely bolted up since.

Ascension has thrived since being gelded and can take the Rekorderlig Handicap.

Roger Varian’s charge saw his bid for a hat-trick come to an here last time out, but did not run that badly from what was a 6lb-higher mark than when successful at Ayr and it could be that he will appreciate first try at a mile

Wots The Wifi Code went close to losing his maiden tag at Pontefract last time and can finally do the business in the Watch Replays At racingtv.com Apprentice Handicap at Redcar.

Tony Coyle’s three-year-old was sent off the 2-1 favourite, but had to settle for second place behind Society Queen.

That was the third time Fast Company gelding had been placed this month. He seems to be thriving on his racing and can get off the mark at the 11th attempt.

The beautifully-bred Mahomes can make it third time lucky in the EBF ‘Double Trigger’ Novice Stakes.

The youngster, by Dubawi out of classy mare The Fugue, has been slow coming to hand but showed he was getting the hang of racing when third at Bath on her latest start.

Mark Johnston’s Bravado is backed to make it two from two in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes.

The Showcasing colt was slowly away at Wolverhampton before finding his stride and looks eminently capable of winning again with the experience under his belt.

Duke Of Firenze just failed to peg back Prince Of Rome on his latest start and is fancied to land a deserved success in the Betway Handicap at Newcastle.

David Griffiths’ venerable 11-year-old would surely have prevailed in another stride at Wolverhampton. A similar effort can see him get his head in front for the first time since May 2019.
