George Boughey and Billy Loughnane have struck up a fruitful association this year and Navello looks another likely winner for the pair in Chepstow’s AK Bets Big Prices Big Limits Handicap.
The five-year-old has some good sprint form to his name but his mark has been steadily dropping of late, despite some creditable efforts.
He is still near the top end of this event but it does represent a step down in grade and under a very good pilot, he appears to be the one to watch.
Brightwalton and Delicacy can make it a double at the Welsh venue for Richard Hannon.
The first-named filly goes for gold in the AK Bets Watch All UK Racing Novice Stakes having stepped up on two initial fourth places to finish second last time out.
She showed dropping back to five furlongs was no impediment on that occasion and sticking at the minimum distance could pay off here.
Delicacy is also seeking to upgrade a second place in the AK Bets Best Price Premier League Fillies’ Handicap.
She has been running consistently well without winning this term, finishing with a flourish to be beaten a neck over seven furlongs recently – and a return to a mile is surely not a negative factor.
At Brighton, it is Paul and Oliver Cole’s White Chapel Road who can come to the fore in the Free Tips Daily On attheraces.com EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes.
The colt made a good start to his career when beaten only three-quarters of a length at Windsor on debut.
He was then set a tougher task in a six-furlong maiden at Goodwood’s key summer meeting and was far from out of the picture when beaten by two lengths into fourth place.
His next run at York may have seen him well beaten when stepping up to seven furlongs in the Convivial Maiden, but back in a less demanding contest, he looks to hold an obvious chance.
Harry Eustace’s Oh So Audacious can continue a successful association with Brighton in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap over a mile.
The five-year-old has run at the track five times and has been in the money in all bar one of them, with her consistent form this season seeing her mark rise to a career high of 54 after finishing out of the top three only once in six runs.
That increase sees her shoulder top weight in this event, but apprentice Kaiya Fraser takes 5lb off and gives her a real chance of victory.
Fraser has another shot at success on the same card in the Free Digital Racecard At raceday-ready.com Handicap over six furlongs, where he rides Michael Attwater’s Bear To Dream.
The mare also appears to favour Brighton and was a winner there last time out when returning from a break to prevail over course and distance under the same rider.
