We managed to get a few winners on Saturday, notably in the Lockinge. There are plenty of meetings over the next two days and something of interest in most of them.
At Bath in the 4.30 I wondered about Stow. He was 3rd at Pontefract on his reappearance and wouldn’t need to improve much from that to take a hand here.
Sir Mark Prescott has had winners recently and could well be poised for a few more. He runs Aleatricis (pictured below) in the 2.40 at Musselburgh. The dam won twice as a 3 year old for Prescott and this horse looks on a very low mark for his pedigree.
As a juvenile First Avenue was 6th to Twice Over on his debut at Newmarket and went on to confirm that promise by winning a Yarmouth maiden. He makes his handicap debut in the 7.40 at Windsor and is my selection.
Regal Step (pictured below) has shown plenty of speed in her 3 runs to date and with Ryan Moore booked to ride looks to have a good chance in the 8.40 at Windsor.
Moving on to Tuesday, Baybshambles represents our list to follow in the 3.20 at Beverley. He has a good draw but may not want the ground too firm. In the 3.50 Crocodile Bay should be all the better for a recent run. He seems versatile when it comes to underfoot conditions but may be besr on genuinely good ground.
Lanterns of Gold was a winner at Redcar last season and looks the sort to progress as a 3 year old. She comes from a stable in form and runs in the 4.20.
In the 4.50 I am interested in another Sir Mark Prescott 3 year old. Astrodome is a half brother to the prolific winner Alambic and should appreciate the step up in trip to 12 furlongs.
Fearless Warrior didn’t cut much ice on his reappearance at Salisbury 16 days ago but may be suited by more of a test of stamina and would be my each way pick in the 8.50.
In the 2.30 at Southwell I am a bit surprised that recent Wolverhampton winner Reclamation is kept to a mile. I still think she looks the sort to run up a sequence though.
