LEICESTER
Race 6 No8 PARTY ISLAND (Each Way)
Trainer: Denis Coakley – Jockey: George Bass
PARTY ISLAND should be fitter for his underwhelming run at Kempton last month, his first start in five months. The chestnut can give us a good run for our money at a double-figure price.
Race 7 No3 HIROMICHI
Trainer: Jack Channon – Jockey: Charles Bishop
HIROMICHI looked good value for his Lingfield success. The grey did us a good turn that day, and can follow-up from his 3lb higher mark.
SEDGEFIELD
Race 3 No4 THUNDERCLAP
Trainer: Hughie Morrison – Jockey: David Bass
I can’t remember the last time Morrison saddled a runner at this course, which augurs well for THUNDERCLAP, who after a good run in defeat at Huntingdon has skipped two opportunities to wait for this.
Race 6 No8 VENTONCALL
Trainer: Alan Jones – Jockey: Rex Dingle
VENTONCALL doesn’t have many racing miles on his clock and acts well on a sharp, left-handed track like this. He goes well on better ground, and should go one better than for his recent Fakenham defeat.
SOUTHWELL
Race 3 No1 OBAMA ARMY (Each Way)
Trainer: Jack Channon – Jockey: Charlie Bennett
OBSMA ARMY showed only a modicum of ability in his juvenile season but is a stronger proposition after his winter solstice. He has no easy task giving away weight, but is more likely than most to have progressed.
Race 6 No5 TASEVER (Nap)
Trainer: Tim Easterby – Jockey: David Allan
TASEVER takes an experience edge into this first leg of the maiden which can help him outpoint Banquo. He earned on each of his last three 2022 outings, meeting good horses like Project Black and Ferrous. That’s the best form on offer and he can convert.
