The Michael Bell trained Piquante has failed to live up to expectations and despite travelling well in her races has often found little when push comes to shove. She drops back in distance tomorrow in the 4.40 at Brighton and may be worth a small each way interest.
Over the jumps at Carlisle new trainer Rose Dobbin saddles last season’s Coral Cup second Mirage Dore in the Novice Chase at 2.40. Rose rode the horse last season when he was trained by Lucinda Russell but Wilson Renwick is on board tomorrow. The horse goes well fresh and seems to act on any ground.
In the 3.45 I fancy The Whisperer. His trainer has a good strike rate at the track, the horse has run well at Carlisle before and goes well fresh and Tony McCoy rides the horse for the first time.
Lochstar looked in for a successful campaign when winning at Lingfield back in May but has done little since. He represents my list to follow but it is difficult to make a case for in the 6.50 at Kempton.
Al Qeddaaf won well at Yarmouth back in June and the form of that race has worked out well. He has run twice since, on the last occasion running on well after getting trapped behind a wall of horses. I think he is worth another chance in the 7.20 at Kempton. The Roger Charlton pair Zero Money (8.50) and Classically (9.20) are worth considering later on the card at Kempton.
At Ludlow William’s Wishes should go close in the 5.30 for Evan Williams.
