Newmarket - Sat 8th Aug

[fintron]

3.35 Newmarket Noble Citizen looks a good price here after only going down by three quarters of a length off this mark last time out, a race in which jockey Stephen Donohoe saw his whip knocked out of his hand when his mount had every chance 100 yards out. With that in mind, although he is 9 lbs above his last winning mark, he has evidently since improved. He placed in a couple of races over in Dubai in February and following that, was thrown back into handicaps on 98. That proved too high, but the handicapper has cut him some slack and this 4 yo gelding may go well again off 90. 16/1 Bet 365, EW.

Re: Newmarket - Sat 8th Aug 1.55 Newmarket Ian Williams is always one to keep an eye on in staying races and his Zuwaar seems to have carried his all-weather form over on the flat when winning at Haydock in April and placing several times since. He was narrowly beaten at Haydock and Warwick off this sort of mark so looks handicapped to have a chance before he is likely to be sent hurdling in the not so distant future. 9/1 Skybet, EW.
