Lingfield and Wolverhampton take center stage on Monday, with both tracks hosting all-weather action live on Sky Sports Racing.
2.00 Lingfield – The Bedford Flyer and The Thames Boatman collide
Michael Appleby-trained Bedford flyer is remarkably consistent in all conditions – particularly at Lingfield – and continued that good run last time when he finished a close third behind smart rival Kylian. He comes here from an unchanged mark and will be dangerous if allowed a slight lead over his favorable course and distance of 5km in £5 weekly free bet with BetUK Handicap.
Boatman Thames is another who loves the course and the distance, being three from four at the track and finishing just behind the Bedford Flyer on the final day. He struggled to get in shape then, but this looks a little easier and he will be competitive.
Michaela’s son was in closing winners on his last start at Wolverhampton over the festive period. He is 1lb heavier this time and guarantees his chance for Team Robert Cowell.
1.30 Lingfield – Tadreeb follows the hat-trick
Since teaming up with Rod Millman, Tadreeb has won both of his starts and seems to have a real affinity for jockey Oliver Searle, who takes a valuable £5 off his back. He won a quiet shade despite coming out last time and carries a £4 penalty for Play responsibly at BetMGM Handicap.
Super Hit has joined Darryll Holland’s yard since winning his last start at Chelmsford for Marco Botti. He was clearly prepared just before the sales to go well and come back for new links 5lb up. Tony Carroll is a dangerous man to go down at this stage of the year and his horse Charlie Mason Tadreeb closed on January 3rd.
7.00 Wolverhampton – Havana Sky Returns
The sky of Havana is currently second in the all-weather Horse of the Year standings and looks set to continue his good run despite being beaten last time out. Dropping back to six kilometers will certainly suit him and he remains on a score of 71 for it BetUK: It’s where Handicap betting is in the UK.
Rebel Road last seen winning at Chelmsford for Stuart Williams in a competitive handicap. Olivia Haines dropped 7lbs off her back last time out and is doing the same again.
He will face the Philip Kirby-trained A bookwho is consistent and makes his first start of the year with Cam Hardie on board. He is up 2 pounds for his last start when he was beaten by the nose.
