DUNSTAN TO CONTINUE WINNING SPREE AT WOLVERHAMPTON

By Josh Luckhurst, PA

Barry Brennan will be hoping his star colt, Dunstan, can complete a remarkable five-timer in the feature race at Wolverhampton on Monday evening.

The three-year-old has been in blistering form since switching from Ralph Beckett’s yard in December, finishing second on his first appearance for Brennan before the turn of the year followed by four straight victories.

One of those wins came over course and distance in February under David Probert, while Kieran O’Neill, who was on board on the other three successes, returns to the saddle for this step up in class.

It will be a tough assignment in the Get The Inside Track With Raceday-Ready.com Handicap, with a clutch of high-class rivals also in the mix, but Dunstan is backed to continue his winning streak.

Beauzon could extend his excellent recent form at Wolverhampton in the six-furlong Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap.

The Ian Williams-trained five-year-old has won on his last four visits to the all-weather track.

Beauzon could finish only fifth on his most recent outing at Lingfield, but a return to Dunstall Park coupled with the application of cheek pieces could prove the key to success.

Borgi is expected to give weight and a beating to his rivals in the Tips For Every Race At raceday-ready.com Handicap.

Trained by Sean Woods, the five-year-old is a dual winner at Wolverhampton and can make the most of having his sights lowered after coming up short in a stronger heat at Lingfield on Good Friday.

Alice Haynes has found Kuwaitya a good opportunity to go one better than on debut in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415/EBF Novice Stakes at Lingfield.

The Soldier’s Call filly was beaten by half a length into second place by Butterfly Jasmine when going off as a hot favourite for her racecourse bow at Newcastle two weeks ago and can make that experience count at the second time of asking.

Ciara Pearl has to be of interest in the Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 519 Fillies’ Handicap.

Daniel and Claire Kubler’s runner broke her maiden in a novice event at this track in October, an effort sandwiched by runner-up finishes at Bath and Newcastle.

She steps up from a mile to a mile and a quarter for the first time on her handicap debut and an opening mark of 66 looks very workable.

Loyal Touch is targeting two straight wins at Newcastle in the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Handicap.

Apprentice jockey Archie Young guided the Charlie Johnston-trained four-year-old to success at Gosforth Park last month and is on board again in his bid for a course and distance double.

Navajo Indy has proved frustrating to follow over obstacles so far this winter, but can reward those who keep the faith in the curtain-raising Golf Membership On Sale Now Maiden Hurdle at Wincanton.

The Newbury bumper winner has finished second twice and third once in his first three attempts over hurdles, with odds-on backers having their fingers burnt on his latest outing at Fontwell.

It could be that a trip of two miles and three furlongs stretched Navajo Indy that day and better can be expected as he drops down to just shy of two miles in Somerset.
