We have a busy day’s racing on Thursday with Flat action from Doncaster, Newbury, Southwell and Yarmouth, live on Sky Sports Racing…
5.55 Newbury – Recent winners Victory Gold and Waasil headline
Recent winners Victory Gold and Waasil headline a field of five for this BetVictor Nursery Handicap at Newbury.
The Saeed bin Suroor-trained Victory Gold recorded a first career success when seeing off Romanza in a decent novice at Lingfield and rates a live player from an opening mark of 87.
Karl Burke’s Waasil got off the mark at the second attempt when scoring at Beverley last month, relishing the extra yardage and he must be feared under Sam James.
Richard Hannon saddles Kempton winner Duke Of Burgundy, while Flying Pirate has been gelded since he finished third at Salisbury on his last start.
2.10 Doncaster – Night Star and Jassas contest strong opener
Night Star and Jassas contest an informative opening British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Doncaster.
Dubawi-colt Jassas debuts for powerful connections at a track they have released some smart horses at this year. William Buick takes the ride and he will be expected to go close.
Richard Hannon’s Night Star built on his first start against Superlative fourth Silver Dominion when third over course and distance just over two weeks ago. That form should see him hit the frame under Sean Levey.
550,000-euro yearling, Lead The Squad debuts for George Scott and Darragh Keenan. The Sea The Stars colt is related to St Leger runner-up Crystal Ocean and is one to watch in the betting.
An interesting newcomer for the Crisfords’ is Narrjoo. He was bought for 200,000gns and is a half-brother to UAE Prince.
6.14 Yarmouth – Starfinch drops in class on handicap debut
Starfinch makes her handicap debut as she has her sights lowered in the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap at Yarmouth.
Harry Eustace’s filly landed a Southwell novice back in January before running with credit in the Listed Spring Cup Stakes at Lingfield the following month. Last of nine in Listed company at Goodwood, she will appreciate the drop in grade.
The consistent Hardy’s Hero has been a beaten favourite in his last two races but should be bang there again, as he runs off the same mark after going down a head at Newmarket on his previous start.
Caviar Cowboy and Three Non Blondes complete the field in this exciting encounter.
