Credrojava can fly at Fontwell

December 2022

Credrojava looks likely to play a leading role today at Fontwell as she embarks over obstacles in Race 5 (16:35), the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.
A winning point to pointer (a race over fences for hunting horses and amateur riders) back in February, she was subsequently sold and immediately paid back a small chunk of her price tag when winning an Aintree bumper in October.
It is interesting that trainer Harry Fry has opted to move her to hurdles rather than have a bumper season, but given her win between the flags, Credrojava looks likely to give her best over obstacles.
Trainer Jane Williams has been waiting for the right conditions for Le Cameleon and her patience can pay dividends in Race 4 (16:05), the Follow @attheraces On Twitter Handicap Chase.
Le Cameleon posted a career best effort to win off a mark of 126 at Warwick in October and while he will have to take a step forward to win off a five-point higher mark, the seven-year-old might have the necessary extra in the locker.
Gold Emery could take some beating in the Signs 2000 Handicap Hurdle at Uttoxeter (Race 6, 16:25).
Winner of his only start over hurdles last season, he looked thoroughly professional in dispatching Ritson by 1.25-lengths without really having to hit top gear.
Recruited from Michael Bowe after winning in the point-to-point sphere, trainer Donald McCain could have a nice horse on his hands.
Cobblers Dream can take a step forward from his debut over fences in Race 7 (16:55), the Grehan Consulting Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase.
He finished 18 lengths adrift of Gowel Road at Ascot last month, taking a fortunate second after the late departure of Samarrive two fences from home.
It was a decent start though and Cobblers Dream should have learnt plenty for the experience.
At Southwell, Infinitive is worth noting in Race 9, the Top Odds Every Day With BetUK Handicap (22:20).
She has failed to make her mark in maiden and novice company, most recently a beaten even-money favourite at this track last month.
However, switched to handicapping now, her initial mark of 75 gives trainer Sir Michael Stoute something to work with.
Army Of India showed a spark on his latest run and is worth taking note of in Race 7, the BetUK Over 40,000 Live Streamed Races Handicap (21:20).
Beaten a neck in second at Newcastle, Army Of India was posting his best effort since winning over the same five furlongs (1005m) he faces here in February.
He is rated two points higher now but cannot be ruled out for trainer Julie Camacho. – Press Association
