Hukba found one too good at Ripon last time but has a good chance of going one better in the 4.05 at Doncaster tomorrow, while Twisted is a tentative suggestion in the 4.35.
There are 3 runners from my list to follow in action at Salisbury and all have some sort of chance. Palace Moon runs in the 3.40, a race won by his half brother a couple of years ago. Palace Moon is a course and distance winner and looked good when landing a Doncaster handicap at the end of March. Silk Trail has done enough in her two races so far to suggest that she can be competitive in the 3.05 while Jachol could be a bit of a dark horse in the 4.45. His 3 runs as a juvenile were over inadequate trips and he should improve when tackling a mile tomorrow off a low rating.
On the continent Fantasia is the English hope in the Prix de Diane at Chantilly.
Moving on to Monday at Warwick, Virginia Hall is related to Silca’s Gift and Violette who were both multiple juvenile winners. She runs in the 7.10.
In the 7.30 at Windsor Carleton is well handicapped if things fall right for him. Richard Hughes rides him for the first time.
Plymouth Rock makes his debut in the 8.00. This one was entered for the Derby so is presumably well thought of at home. He is a half brother to the David Pipe trained hurdler Big Eared Fran. Watch your bets in this race at Golden Rock is also in the field.
