A losing run has developed over the last few days so let’s see if we can break it.
At Catterick tomorrow Escape Artist is in with a chance in the 4.30. He won at Beverley on fast ground but given his pedigree he should handle some cut OK. The lightly raced Royal Swain has a similar chance in the 5.30.
My bet of the day is in the Leicester 3.40 where a 6 lbs penalty seems unlikely to stop the fast improving Harlestone Times. Another John Dunlop runner in with a live chance is Hajjaan in the 4.10. He has only had 2 runs in his life and is open to bags of improvement. In the 5.10 my selection is Lordship who gets on well with his apprentice rider.
Godolphin traditionally does well at this time of year and are also adept at getting a horse fit after a lengthy absence. The unbeaten Sahara Kingdom looks likely to continue his winning sequence in the 2.50. Star Rover has an each way chance in the 4.50.
