Of the horses mentioned in last night’s preview Mesbaah won at Beverley. He set off like a scalded act under Martin Dwyer and won pretty well as he pleased.
Pawan got up close home in the sprint handicap winning at 33/1 for jockey and trainer Ann Stokell. Pawan is not one of the most consistent but this was his 6th career win. One remarkable thing about those wins is that they have all been gained by a narrow margin. Two short heads, two necks, a head and a half length.
Not a lot to catch the eye on Thursday. Centenary has been quiet consistent. He was 3rd at Newcastle last time out and runs in a similar race in the 3.50 at Beverley.
Galway Girl is a newcomer to watch out for in the maiden at 4.25. She looks interesting on pedigree although Tim Easterby does not have a great record with his two year olds first time out. Pretty Miss looks a likely contender both on breeding and trainer form. She does need to overcome an iffy draw however.
In the 2.00 at Salisbury I would expect Duke of Tuscany to improve on his debut run when he was 9th.
The 2.30 at Salisbury has gone to runners from Mick Channon’s yard twice in the last 10 years. His Security Tiger was second at Beverley last tome and has claims here.
Of the unraced types Mount Herman is one for the notebook although he is likely to need the run.
At Sandown Richard Hannon saddles Fever in the 3.25. This one was 3rd on his debut and should give a good account.
See you tomorrow.
