We have a busy day’s racing on Monday with flat action from Wolverhampton and Yarmouth, live on Sky Sports Racing…
2.25 Yarmouth – Legacy Link’s sister Zhuri takes on Never An Angel
Legacy Link’s full-sister Zhuri takes on debutant Never An Angel for Ed Walker who cost 460,000gns as a yearling.
The well-related filly Zhuri comes here for her second racecourse start, this time dropping to seven-furlongs after shaping well without seeing out the trip, dropping back in distance looks to suit her.
Ed Walker is 15 per cent with his two-year-olds this year and comes here with the 460,000gns No Nay Never-filly Never An Angel, with Kieran Shoemark taking the ride.
Baaeed has made a bright start to his stallion career and is represented here by the William Haggas-trained filly Faithful who is from a good family, being a half-sister to Italy for Aidan O’Brien and Bowmark, who shares the same connections.
Another beautifully bred runner, Lady Jemima is the most experienced in the field, with three starts to her name already, latterly producing an encouraging effort at Newmarket and she should progress again for the James Owen team.
8.30 Wolverhampton – Powder Monkey looks to complete a hat-trick
Powder Monkey looks to complete a hat-trick in the Race & Rest – Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Handicap, after wins at Wolverhampton and Lingfield.
He returned to the track after a break with a win at Lingfield Park in August, off a mark of 69. That victory pushed him up to 74 and he since went on to defy favouritism readily in the hands of Billy Loughnane. He is up to a mark of 78 today and the champion jockey-elect takes the ride again.
Dublin Bay won by seven lengths here back in May and was slapped with a ten-pound penalty for the effort. He has run with credit in deeper company on two starts since but will do well to overcome stall 12 off the same mark.
The top-weight Alfra Whiteburd landed a hat-trick at Pontefract in the summer for the Ivan Furtado team and hasn’t lost much in defeat in two starts since but he returns to the All-Weather this evening and his four wins on this surface give him a chance.
4.05 Yarmouth – Box To Box and Cuff It take on eight rivals
Top-rated Box To Box and Cuff It will take on eight rivals in this competitive Haven Seashore Holiday Park Handicap.
Box To Box is without a win in his last five starts and is down to a mark of 87 but looked to have the race at his mercy last time at Chester, striking the front at the furlong pole before being run down close to home. Another bold show can be expected.
Cuff It is the most unexposed in here, just four career starts to his name. He had his handicap debut last time out at York in a competitive class two contest but found that company too hot. Back in a class four event today, he could run well.
Lucky Hero is in-form, having won two of his last three runs, his hat-trick bid was thwarted last time out as he was beaten a short margin into third after winning at Newmarket. Another big effort can’t be dismissed.
Best of the rest
1.50 Yarmouth – Awwjaan who is Irish 1000 Guineas-entered returns.
3.35 Yarmouth – Wootton Bassett-filly Endless Quest begins her career.
4.05 Yarmouth – Box To Box and Cuff It lock horns.
4.26 Wolverhampton – Interesting Lion Of God makes nursery debut.
Deauville – Nine race card.
