    Naps Competition Day 7 ~ Saturday July 10th

    in At The Races - Racing Forum

    310 Newmarket The Bunbury Cup is one of the most competitive handicaps of the season here at Newmarket. We have 20 runners declared and last years winner Heavens Guest is in the line up carrying two pounds more. Richard Fahey’s other runner Rene Mathis is interesting with Paul Hanagan in the saddle and he fits the profile of Fahey’s two winners of this race. Chill The Kite will have his supporters as will the veteran Field Of Dream who won this in 2013. Another one to consider is Bronze Angel who was a decent 7th in the Hunt Cup at Ascot and just behind him was the Luca Cumani horse Ayaar who has Frankie Dettori booked, he was well backed that day and will be looking for compensation now back at 7f. Selection: Rene Mathis 25/1 Bet365
    Nicely 'painted' BH! :ok

    3.45 Gowran Park: Handicap, 7f Strong and competitive handicap with some highly rated individuals in the line-up, though not all too many appear well handicapped. If Vastonea would have been showing any sort of form lately he would be interesting here, only 2lb above his Galway Festival winning mark, but the way he's going at the moment, I'll leave him alone despite a tasty price. Ken Condon's Strait Of Zanzibar is sure to run his race with conditions to suit. He's rarely running a bad race but for that reason seems stuck in and around marks mid-80 which he may be able to win off, but everything has to fall right in order to do so. Favouite Laviniad has been on the upward this season and may be able to overcome a big rise in the weights, however the drop to 7f is a concern. Have A Nice Day has also been progressive lately. A career best is required here, but clearly not out of this world with conditions sure to suit. Bolger's Wexford Opera ran well off bigger marks in Handicaps last year. He might be sharper after a poor seasonal debut run and has a chance off a good mark but his strike rate doesn't instil much confidence. This race is up for grabs for an improving sort, such as the only three year old in the line-up, Ger Lyons' Dandyleekie.He was a smart juvenile, finishing 3rd behind Lucida in a very strong race twelve month ago. He started his classic season in encouraging fashion when taking on older horses at Fairyhouse in a Condtions race. He finished last but was only 4l beaten by smart Tamadhor, who herself was a strong 6th in the Irish 1000 Guineas, and only two lengths behind a good 98 rated individual. Dandyleekie drops into handicaps for the first time now and an opening mark off 91 seems fair. With the weight for age in his favour he should be a big runner, as natural progression may give him the edge against older and more exposed rivals. ? Dandyleekie @ 13/2 Paddy Power
