We have a busy day’s racing on Thursday with action from Ffos Las, Lingfield Park, Newton Abbot and Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing…
3.22 Lingfield – Debut winner Enoch popular for Gosden team
Enoch looks to go 2-2 in this Download The At The Races App Novice Stakes at Lingfield.
John and Thady Gosden’s son of Frankel made a winning debut at Newmarket last September and this relative of Almanzor looks a promising type under new rider William Buick.
Andrew Balding’s Black Chiffon scored on her racecourse debut at Salisbury before running fourth at Kempton and brings in a rating of 85. Rob Horny takes the ride, and she could put her fitness to good use.
Others to consider include Colonnade who has run with credit on both starts to date and could be one for the placings.
4.37 Ffos Las – 86-rated Blue Hercules takes on five rivals
86-rated Blue Hercules takes on five rivals in this BNI Elli Maiden Stakes at Ffos Las.
William Muir and Chris Grassick’s charge has shown plenty of ability without winning in six outings, but this looks an ideal opportunity under Lewis Edmunds. If able to reproduce his recent Ascot efforts, then he might prove a tough nut to crack.
Neswick, third on her racecourse debut back in April, returned from a break to finish fourth at Lingfield earlier this month and ought to do better in time.
Of the remainder Phantom Recon is a contender for George Scott, while Emmet Mullins saddles Winday with Rossa Ryan in the saddle.
6.12 Newton Abbot – Gore Point bids to continue the winning thread
Gore Point seeks a five-timer in a competitive renewal of this MD Elite Cleaning Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot.
Anthony Honeyball’s six-year-old has enjoyed a splendid campaign winning his last four starts, three coming over this course and distance, and he should take some stopping as he heads up in class.
Centara won this race last season and Paul Nicholls’ runner has dropped to a handy mark having struggled on his last three starts this year.
Breaking Cover saw off Centara over this course and distance last summer and warrants respect, while last-time winner Gower Prince is another to note.
Obsessedwithyou has finished in the first two in her last seven outings and looks poised for another big effort back over fences.
