2.33 Wincanton
POURQOI PAS PAPA – 7/4 (Win) (NAP)
There should be a lot more to come from this Paul Nicholls-trained four-year-old, who has finished second in all three of his starts to date, including the last twice since being trained by the Ditcheat man. He sets the standard here, and it would be disappointing should he not open his account sooner, rather than later.
4.20 Lingfield
MART – 7/2 (Win)
Three-time course and distance winner, with the latest of those victories coming off a four-pound higher mark. He appears to save his best for this track, and he has to be considered a danger to all on his current mark. Luke Morris is in the saddle, which is always another positive.
4.33 Wincanton
SECRET DES LUNE – 2/1 (Win) (NB)
She posted a very encouraing effort on her rules debut at Plumpton last month, finishing second of twelve, and two lengths behind the eventual winner. She should naturally take a big step forward coming into her second start, and this doesn’t look like the strongest of bumpers.
8.00 Chelmsford
MANDANA – 5/1 (Each-Way)
James Owen-trained filly who has been running fairly consistently in her three outings since joining this yard, whilst her mark has continued to tumble. Her trainer will likely get her winning races soon, as he does with the majority of his recruits, and she looks to be on a handy mark.
