It seems fair to suggest we have mediocre racing to deal with this Tuesday, but that does not mean we won’t find a winner or two with any luck.
First up, I am heading off to Bath for the novice stakes at 3.15pm where I am hoping George Boughey’s Hopewell Rock will head the market after winning on his debut at Newbury in mid-August.
Easy to back that day, I do suspect he has more improvement to come, but he has to give 6lb or more to the rest of the field and that looks a pretty big ask.
Saeed bin Suroor may not get the quality of horses he used to since the rise to the top of Charlie Appleby, but he remains capable enough given the ammunition, and he has a lively alternative here in Castle Gates.
A once-raced son of Farhh and a half-brother to Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence, he caught the eye when fifth at Kempton when running green early on before finishing with relish over a furlong shorter, Sure to improve considerably for that experience, he has every chance of a top three finish here.
