Andrew Asquith has a selection for Wolverhampton this evening while Ben Linfoot provides the Sunday best bet.
Saturday selections
MANARA – 18:30 Wolverhampton
MANARA has proved a different proposition since moving into handicaps and is expected to complete a hat-trick in the Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap.
She landed a gamble when opening her account over a mile at Chelmsford in November, and was impressive when following up under a penalty over the extended mile at this course just four days later.
Manara moved through that contest like a filly well ahead of her mark and easily went clear in the final furlong to score readily. She has been freshened up since and, bred to relish this even longer trip, she’s hard to oppose even following an 11lb rise in the weights.
Sunday selection
MUMAYAZ - 1.42 Lingfield (NAP)
Five furlongs around Lingfield looks ideal for MUMAYAZ as long as he gets a solid pace to aim at and that could be the case on Sunday in this 0-68 five-furlong handicap. Tony Carroll's horse gave them a start when a never-nearer fourth here in November but if he can break better from stall one he could get plenty of cover on the rail before being unleashed for a late burst. With Recon Mission and Mick's Spirit likely to take them along at a good gallop the ball could bounce in his favour for a yard that can do little wrong on the all-weather at present.
