Hopewell ready to rock

Hopewell Rock looked a cut above when scoring at the first attempt at Newbury and is backed to supplement that success at Bath on Tuesday.

George Boughey's son of New Bay cost 235,000 guineas as a yearling and appeared to be worth every penny given the way he saw off some useful rivals, including subsequent scorer Sing Us A Song.

He did hold an entry in Newmarket's Royal Lodge Stakes but connections decided to swerve that Group Two event in favour of banking further experience in calmer waters and he is sure to be a warm order for the British EBF Future Stayers' Novice Stakes.

Surrey Charm can build on his belated reappearance third at Ffos Las in August to claim the opening Goughs Solicitors Real Estate Specialists Apprentice Handicap.

Hughie Morrison's four-year-old has not minded deep conditions previously and a stamina test could be just what is required to see him return to the scoresheet.

Charlie Fellowes' Saytarr has been improving with every start and could finally break his duck in the Blackmore Building Contractors Nursery Handicap, having gone close at Ffos Las most recently when beaten only a neck.

Slower ground seems to suit the son of Mehmas and he is only 1-point higher than that brave effort.

It is interesting that James Doyle makes the trip to Newcastle to partner Roger Varian's debutant Second Name in the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Novice Stakes.

A 270,000 guineas yearling, he is owned by KHK Racing and counts the owners Mill Reef scorer Sakheer amongst his relatives.

Also at Gosforth Park, it may pay to follow trainer Phil Kirby who has two real chances on the card.

The North Yorkshire handler saddles handy stayer Gastronomy in the Arc Weekend On Sky Sports Racing Handicap, while the ace in his pack could be Indy's Angel who bolted up over course and distance last time.

The youngster carries a 6-point penalty for that 4-length victory, but the manner of the performance suggests that should not be too much of an inconvenience in the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Nursery Handicap.

At Ayr, Archie Watson's Weissmuller can put his experience to good use to claim the Virgin Bet Maiden Stakes.

Fourth in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, he was last seen finishing third here in the summer behind Adrian Keatley's Symbol Of Strength, who has since gone on to bigger and better things.

Now gelded, the son of Bungle Inthejungle sets the standard on form and could prove tough to beat.

Over the obstacles at Sedgefield, Irish raider Sefton Warrior is worth keeping an eye on in the Vickers.Bet Proud To Support British Racing Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle.

In the concluding Happy Birthday Pam Handicap Hurdle, Barrons Land can send punters home happy if repeating the display he produced at Worcester when making all for a simple victory. - Press Association
