There were a couple of winners from our list to follow on Monday. Richard Fahey’s Trip the Light took advantage of a low mark to score in the staying handicap that closed the card at Redcar. He was visored first time which seemed to bring out some improvement in him. There may be a bit more to come from him. In the same race I was quiet taken with the 5th Warsaw Waltz who travelled well for most of the way but didn’t quite get home. A drop down to 12 furlongs could see him pick up a little race.
Earlier at Redcar Brian Meehan’s Film Maker had scooted home in the 6 furlong maiden winning by 6 lengths. He will be interesting in handicaps.
There is an evening card at Beverley on Wednesday. In the Rivington Pike hasn’t exactly scaled the heights in his 4 runs thus far. He has his second run of the season in the 6.35 and I am going to try and drum up a case for him. Well. It is his second run of the season so he should be fitter. He has dropped to a mark of 63 and he tackles 12 furlongs for the first time which should also suit him.
In the 7.05 the top weight Morocchius could be of interest. Two runs ago he ran with a bit of promise when 6th at Thirsk. He then ran disappointingly on the all weather at Southwell but he might not have been suited by the surface.
Corrybrough (pictured below) looked a sprinter to follow when winning at Sandown last month and he is my nap in the 8.05.
