After a successful time down, Billy Loughnane returns to the bread and butter of domestic racing with six chances at Gosforth Park.
5.45 Newcastle – Mondammej and Pals Battalion among eight in operation
Since the wind operation in early October, Mondammey has been a model of consistency that has fallen well below his last winning mark. His recent form figures at his beloved Newcastle are 1, 2, 2, 1 and 1. He carries a £4 penalty and will surely warrant his chance in this £5 weekly free bet with BetUK Handicap.
Another horse that seems to have turned a corner recently is Pals Battalion for David O’Meara who is looking for a hat-trick. His win by a neck pushes him up just 2lb and bodes well for his regular rider David Nolan. Course and distance winner True Promise Kevin Ryan arrives and is another who enjoys the course with a 3-6 record.
4.13 Newcastle – William Dewhurst looks set to continue his good winning run
William Dewhurst as Ben Haslam has shown plenty of love at Newcastle, winning three of his last four starts, and perhaps a comfortable shadow under Paul Mulrennan. He returns quickly under a £5 penalty and will be hoping to capitalize on his good form in this BetMGM Extra Handicap Free Weekly Bets.
The King’s School is an old foe of the aforementioned William Dewhurst and finished two and a half lengths behind him last time. They essentially re-argue the same weights given Warren Fentiman’s claim, so they may struggle to reverse this.
Starliner could be dangerous at the front given the small, field nature of this race. If allowed to dictate, he will do well running well behind William Dewhurst previously. Billy Loughnane is active Swiss ace here – one of six chances for the rider.
12.22 Southwell – Last match winners Caramay and Always Waving clash
At the opening event in Southwell with Karamey came here under a 5lb penalty after winning at Wolverhampton a week ago. Joe Leavy takes over the ride from Frederick Larson and has had just two rides for the stable, albeit unsuccessfully.
Andrew Balding trained Always rocking got the nod at the third time of the question and enters the society with disabilities. She has been assigned a grade of 68 and looks set to continue at that Play responsibly on the BetMGM Fillies Handicap.
Another handicap debutant is Nala Lionesshowever she has more than experience having run and won in bumpers before. She runs away with a mark of 68 and can be dangerously underestimated for an in-form yard.
