Weekly nap of the day ~ Sunday 21st


Recommended Posts

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

4.10 Pontefract - Water Clock (12/1 William Hill) 1pt Win Has not won a race for some time but is now 13lbs lower than at this point last season when he was contesting races like the Ascot Stakes and Northumberland Cup. This is a lot easier and he showed enough over timber during the winter to suggest that his heart is still in the game, put in an encouraging enough effort on his return to the flat two weeks ago and should come on for that with the yard in decent form.

Pontefract 3.40 Red Galileo (5/1 ladbrokes and skybet) If non runner Hexham 3.30 Green Wizard Red Galileo has only won 1 race in his live (an all weather novice event at Kempton), but he has taken on some high class animals. Back in 2014 he was 5th in the derby beaten only 9.5 lengths by Australia and previously to that he was 7.75 lengths behind snow sky (who pulvarised a very strong field at royal ascot yesterday). And more recently in April this year he was 7.5 lengths behind Arab Spring (another of this week’s royal ascot winners). There’s certainly nothing of Australia’s or Snow Sky’s quality here today.

Hex 3.00 - Flemerina - ew at 22/1 bog betvictor Novice hurdle Looking beyond the penalised runners and market leaders for something that might outrun it's odds My selection is a mare and gets a stone from the penalised geldings Has plenty of stamina and might be suited by this stiff track. Didn't run too badly in a bumper last time beaten about 7 lengths on a flat sharp track which wouldn't be ideal

520 Worcester: Ballyglasheen 11/1 William Hill Decent horse on his day and won the Swinton at Haydock off just a pound lower than he carries today. Obviously this is much weaker so on that run alone has a big chance. He's in fair nick at the moment having run second on the flat at Chepstow the other week and is a good price i think today.

P5.10 Flyball e/w 25/1 Ladbrokes This horse beat Burtonwood by a nose in its only victory to date and that one started life in handicaps (nurseries) off a 10lb higher mark than this one races off here. It'll need to rediscover that form from when it was at the Hannon stable, but the course stats are really good for this progeny of Proclamation who have a 4 from 11 strke rate at the course.

5.00 HEXHAM STEADY PROGRESS @ 10/1 Bet 365 Maiden who is unexposed over the larger obstacles. Has a couple of pieces of form (both on fast ground) that give him a squeak in this race. Down to a career low mark of 80 and interesting jockey booking in Paddy Brennan who hasn't ridden for the stable before. The stable has a really good record when top jockeys are booked. Money around this morning another positive.

Hexham 5:00 Solway Legend @ 13/2 SJ win thanks Solway Legend.....from Lisa Harrison yard who saddles two horses in race the other being Solway Sam wit both being capable of winning this race, Solway Legend is a winner of a chase at 3m on soft ground at Perth last month he followed that up with a 2nd place over this course and distance 15 days ago when mistake 2 out dropped it back and with the last fence omitted he rallied to get 2nd place in long run in, Jockey Ryan Day keeps ride and claims 7lb off his back

4.10 pontefract waterclock looks to have a good chance today, as drops another pound in the weights to a mark of 77 and did appear to be coming back to something like best last time. no trip and ground worries and a good jockey booking in graham lee, so looks quite solid. 1pt win 7/1 totesport bog
