SIS Celebrates 40 Years Supporting Racing Handicap

Who's On First

Aneirin's Sword

Bergamo Gold

A C&D winner in November, THANH NAM got back on the up when finding only a less-exposed rival too strong at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. He can regain the winning thread at the expense of Aneirin's Sword, who has upped in his game switched to handicaps and should be in the mix again. Bergamo Gold came home well on handicap debut and bred to be better than this sort of mark, she completes the shortlist.

SIS Delivers 500,000 Live Betting Events Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Shafdar

SHAFDAR shaped with considerable promise on yard debut when third at Kempton 11 days ago and, with further progress on the cards, he could well prove a tough nut to crack. Pinatubo colt Picture Palace shades the vote for the forecast spot over fellow newcomer Immediate Jewl before the benefit of market clues. 

SIS Proud Partners Of Chelmsford Racecourse Handicap

Sanditon

King David

Toussarok

A trappy handicap in which marginal preference is for in-form maiden SANDITON who is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough victory at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Pickering Castle. Silky Robin, King David and Invincible Melody all command plenty of respect too in this very open contest.   

49's Draws Now Four Times Daily Classified Stakes

Man Is King

Prince Hector

In an ordinary contest, it could be worth chancing longstanding maiden MAN IS KING, the booking of Hollie Doyle potentially significant on yard debut. Monks Mead recently ended a lengthy losing run at Lingfield and again ran well there despite being shuffled back last time, while Ian Williams is triply represented and stable newcomer Lisabetta could be interesting if supported on first start in classified company. 

SIS Global Racing Experts Handicap

Harlington

Jodhpur Blue

Bint Al Daar

HARLINGTON looks an improved model since joining Charlie Clover and is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise for his ready recent Lingfield victory here. Veteran Annexation is also weighted to go well and could emerge as the main danger, while Jodhpur Blue, Gennadius and My Awele need factoring in too.  

SIS Broadcasts Chelmsford To 50 Countries Handicap

Forever Noah

Man On A Mission

GUNDOGAN bounced back to form when seeing things out better at Southwell and could break his losing sequence dropped into a 0-55. Forever Noah remains a maiden after 15 starts but has shown improved form lately and went as close as ever to breaking his duck when collared late at this course 10 days ago, while Marcus again ran creditably here last time and could be interesting if seeing out 6f. 

Bet In Running On Chelmsford Races Handicap

The Craftymaster

Apache Eagle

THE CRAFTYMASTER is stringing some form together at a time when he's dangerously well treated having tumbled in the weights and he looks ready to end his long losing run. Tuba continues in good heart having travelled smoothly when second at Southwell 16 days ago and he's feared most. Sneaky Blinder wasted no time getting back on track at Wolverhampton and can make his presence felt returning quickly.

Navan

Navan Ford & Opel Maiden Hurdle

Coyote Spirit

Loch Cuan

Good Deal

The choice of Jack Kennedy, this looks a good opportunity for COYOTE SPIRIT, who can give Gordon Elliott his fourth winner in the previous 6 renewals of this race, with stablemate Whinney Hill the likely main danger if bouncing back in first-time blinkers.

Ryan's Cleaning Apple's Jade Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed)

Zanoosh

Poetisa

ZANOOSH has won her last two starts, most recently showing a willing attitude on handicap debut at this C&D 22 days ago and looks open to further improvement. She can land the hat-trick, while well-related Apples Jane quickened clear impressively when getting off the mark at Ayr and could have more to offer, along with Poetisa who looked badly in need of the experience on hurdle debut. 

William Hill Boyne Hurdle (Grade 2)

Staffordshire Knot

Better Days Ahead

STAFFORDSHIRE KNOT won twice in late November/early December and travelled well when second in Grade 2 Galmoy at Gowran Park 17 days ago, though he wandered before the last and was outbattled. He has the ability to make amends here. Hiddenvalley Lake won the 2024 Boyne Hurdle and is best when fresh, while Maxxum won last year's renewal and has likely been campaigned with this race in mind again. 

Gibney's Of Malahide Handicap Hurdle

Westandtogether

Teds Corner

The Miracle Man

JUPITER DU GITE shaped better than the result suggests at Punchestown and with a hood back on, he can capitalise on a drop in class. Teds Corner shaped well when second at the track 22 days ago and is threatening to come good, while Hitthehayson had been winning regularly before pulling up last time and is entitled to bounce back. Belladona Princess and Westandtogether look potential improvers now handicapping.

William Hill Racing Bet Builder Ten Up Novice Chase (Grade 2)

Oscars Brother

GOLD DANCER completed a hat-trick last autumn before finding Grade 1 company too hot on his last two starts, but the drop to Grade 2 looks ideal and he's fancied to return to winning ways. Oscars Brother already has Grade 2 form from Punchestown and looks a smart stayer in the making who can improve further. Bossofthebrownies ran his best race when second at Naas a fortnight ago.

William Hill Each Way Extra Handicap Chase

Rokathir

Promontory

So They Tell Me

Gringo D'aubrelle

BANTER AT THE BAR proved a different proposition when winning on chasing debut at Punchestown 28 days ago, jumping fine and going on soon after 3 out. Open to improvement and making his handicap debut, he's fancied to follow up. Rokathir returns to chasing after probably needing his recent hurdles run following an 8-month absence. Choccabloc has improved in novice chases but must cut out serious mistakes.

William Hill Bet 10 Get 5 On Irish Racing (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Luidgi Du Luy

Liberator

Point winner IN A SONNET looks an obvious type for his top yard. Soul Asylum is another likely newcomer, while Begorra Man sets a decent standard but is returning from almost a year off.

Virgin Bet Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race) (AWT)

DOLLY DRAMA and Static Charm are closely matched on form but Donald McCain's mare has more potential and gets the vote. Penalised winner Kilaro is another who can do better if racing more efficiently. 

Equine Products NH Trainers League Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB race)

MADAME LA PAPILLON has made an encouraging start over hurdles with runner-up finishes on both starts, pulling clear of the remainder over C&D 24 days ago whilst staying on well. Open to further improvement, she's fancied to go one better. Roarin' Success showed more on her second hurdles outing here last month and though that race lacked depth, she's feared most with a first-time tongue strap applied.

Virgin Bet A Good Bet Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

NOSY NEIGHBOUR's debut form has worked out well and he should be suited by this step up in distance. He gets the vote. Loulou Madrik has improved here recently, having been beaten by a pair of last-time-out winners in novice company, and he's respected with first-time cheekpieces applied, along with Johnny Moonshine who'll appreciate this trip.

Cinch Self Storage cinchstorage.co.uk Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Most of these have something to prove but at least the unexposed BIG JOHN WAYNE offered something on his belated comeback/chase debut at Ayr and this longer distance will suit. Joecooker is feared most.

Border Minstrel Sunday Lunch Handicap Hurdle

FORGED WELL can take advantage of his lower mark back over hurdles. Both Barrels is next best back down in class, though none of the others can be ruled out. 

Border Minstrel New Menu Handicap Hurdle

A case be made for several of these, but ETON MES showed much improved form when switched to handicaps, opening his account at Uttoxeter 15 days ago, and likely has more to offer again. Aire Spray was very well backed when second here last time and remains of interest, with Jericoacoara another to note dropped in grade.

High Gosforth Park Golf Club Handicap Chase

BLUE BEAR is returning from a long absence but could be worth chancing off a potentially handy mark. Galidam is worth another chance to build on his promising chase bow, while the drop back in trip looks a positive for Count Adhemar.

Scottsville

Gallop TV Maiden Juvenile Plate

Green Energy

Buffalo King Cody

BUFFALO KING CODY has performed at a similar level all 3 starts and should give backers a good run for their money. Green Energy is taken to chase the selection home, while Perfect Power is another to consider.

www.galloptv.co.za Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies)

Durban Diamond

Japura

Mekong

JAPURA holds a convincing advantage on form and is well up to taking this plenty in hand. Amc Roy's Fantasy is just about preferred for second, while Durban Diamond comes into calculations seeing a racecourse for the first time.

Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Maiden Plate

Sovereign Gem

Fleur De Ling

Belligerent

HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE is fairly hard to fault and should give backers a good run for their money. Fleur De Ling is probably the chief danger, while Sovereign Gem is also in the running for some place money at least.

Gallop Form Maiden Plate (F & M)

Past Is Prologue

Peach Melba

Siyabambelela

SIYABAMBELELA has a very good chance on what she has achieved so far and is the one to overcome. Peach Melba can also play a significant part, while Kali Bwana is another that should go well.

Live It. Love It. Own It. www.racecoast.co.za Open Maiden

Quincy Town

Owner Of Creation

Etzebeth

OWNER OF CREATION has been running creditably of late and just about gets the nod in this company. Etzebeth could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Anemie commands a second look as well.

Bet With Tote www.tote.co.za Progress Plate (3-Year-Olds)

Mohave Prince

Gotta Go Eddie

GOTTA GO EDDIE recorded an excellent effort last time and is the one to beat. Bruh can also take a hand, while Salani Kahle is another with a place chance.

Lucky Fish Winning Streak Class 4

French Trip

Actor

Continentalexpress

CONTINENTALEXPRESS looks to have been found a very good opportunity. if not troubled by this different trip. World of Royalty could be the chief danger, while French Trip is another to bear in mind.

Umthombothi Stakes

King Pelles

Go Grayson Go

Isivivane

AMOR FATI has slender claims so gets the tentative vote in what is a useful contest. Isivivane is the percentage call to finish second , while Cape Eagle can't be ruled out.

Join The Social Squad Syndicate Today www.socialsquad.co.za Class 5 (F & M)

Dawn Surprise

Poetic Princess

Take Your Place

LITTLEBLACKGEM's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and is the one they all have to beat. Ruby Claire is probably the toughest threat, while Jazz Diva is the other candidate for the three.

Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F & M)

ROYAL KAILANI is quite hard to fault and just about sets the standard. Tladi Mothwana is the most prudent second choice, while Scarlet Starlet also requires respect.
