Newmarket - Sat 29th Aug

[fintron]

3.25 Newmarket Eleven runners line up for this listed sprint over six furlongs and there looks to be plenty of pace on the cards. Ancien Regime has the class to win a race like this and won readily at Lingfield when last seen, but with Beckermet, Tamagin and Fat Boy in opposition he may be taken on for the lead and that would play into the hands of the tactically versatile Palace Moon. Hughie Morrison's gelding looked really useful when landing a competitive handicap at Doncaster on the opening weekend of the season, and it was inevitable that he would be competing in listed races or better in the aftermath. His first attempt came at Salisbury when beaten by a short head by Judd Street, and by pulling hard at Newbury, latest, he dampened his chances of gaining compensation. However, he is open to more improvement, and if he learns to settle better, could pick these off late on. Zidane is another that is likely to get the race ran to suit. James Fanshawe's gelding is seven years old now but was a last time out winner in a conditions race at Doncaster. He is a course and distance winner, has won at this level in the past, and is another that could capitalise on a strong gallop. Palace Moon, 4/1 SJ, 1 pt win Zidane 10/1 VC Bet, 0.25 pt win

Re: Newmarket - Sat 29th Aug 3:25 Newmarket: Tamagin 3pts win 11/2 Stan James (Bog) Tamagin brings rock solid handicap form to this Listed event. The concern is that Tamagin is 0/3 in stakes races, but that may be misleading as he has never been in such good form and is on a career high of 109. Jeff Pearce is in fine form.
