Today's Sky Bet Request-A-Bet
- ME TARZAN to win 2.40 Brighton
- THE RIDLER to win 3.53 Leicester
- CATUABA to place 4.00 Huntingdon (4 places)
ME TARZAN - 2.40 Brighton (NAP)
James Fanshawe has his horses in good shape and ME TARZAN is an unexposed colt to keep on side at Brighton. His first three runs were moderate enough but saw him qualify for a lowly mark of 53 and he shaped a bit better upped to seven furlongs for the first time at Kempton last month, finishing fourth from an unfavourable position. Me Tarzan is a half-brother to three winners who all improved through the handicap ranks, including Kartvelian, who won a couple of Brighton handicaps (off marks of 59 and 61) for Fanshawe back in 2021.
THE RIDLER - 3.53 Leicester
Richard Fahey's 2022 Norfolk Stakes winner THE RIDLER has shown a bit more spark since the cheekpieces went on and he's well worth another chance back over the minimum trip on testing ground at Leicester. Now fully 20lb lower in the handicap than this time last year, he's evidently no star but has found his level and ran well for fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup last time out.
CATUABA - 4.00 Huntingdon
Being bumped up 6lb for getting beaten looks harsh on the face of it but CATUABA was obviously unfortunate not to collect at Worcester last month, his rider on the day mistaking the half-furlong marker for the winning line. He'd jumped and travelled really well in a prominent position, shaping like he was several steps ahead of the assessor, and it'll be disappointing if connections aren't compensated with victory on this occasion.
KODEBREAKER - 6.00 Southwell
Amaysmont is going to get plenty of attention here but he's got the 4lb penalty to carry for winning at Wolverhampton and his record at this track isn't quite so strong (no wins here to date), so preference is for KODEBREAKER. Michael Herrington's horse has won off a 1lb lower mark in the past so certainly isn't handicapped out of things and lines up on the back of an encouraging effort when beaten just a length into fifth at Redcar a fortnight ago. He's got loads of good form at this venue and will appreciate the step back up to a mile from seven furlongs.
Wednesday's selections
GRIGIO - 4.12 Kempton (NAP)
He wasn’t at his best here last time but there are reasons to think GRIGIO can fare better on Wednesday.
Firstly he’s in a Class 6 for the first time since finishing third over course-and-distance in May from a five pounds higher mark and is also three lower than when winning at the track in February.
An even pace is forecast which will suit him and Tom Marquand is an eyecatching jockey booking.
CHELSEA EMBANKMENT - 3.45 Nottingham
This is a trappy nursery with Lazieelunch chasing a four-timer and Gentle Warrior arriving off the back of an improved effort at Redcar but CHELSEA EMBANKMENT looks the bet.
He represents the red-hot Ralph Beckett and Rossa Ryan team and showed he handles a soft surface when a good third to Corriamo at Sandown time. He looks set to get an uncontested lead in this and might take some pegging back.
LA RENOMEE - 4.05 Ludlow
She’s two from two at this course and LA RENOMEE is fancied to further enhance her fine Ludlow record.
The six-year-old has the benefit of a pipe opener at Perth over hurdlers where she looked to in need of the outing and is only five pounds higher when good value for a length-and-a-half defeat of Flintara at Cheltenham in April. She looks sure to go close.
