The Late Play - Wednesday January 15
SAMS HOPE - 6.30 Kempton
Tony Carroll has his horses in good nick at the moment (11-49 at 22% over the past fortnight) and SAMS HOPE might be able to add to the win-tally.
His comeback run over six furlongs on December 28 - a first outing since June - had the distinct look of a pipe-opener on paper but he ran pretty well all things considered, beaten just under five lengths having missed a beat at the start and initially raced with the choke out, as might have been expected (33/1 SP).
He ran on pleasingly late in the piece, showing he's in good heart, and should be much happier stepping right back up to a mile here, where he was successful over seven furlongs last March. That win, his sole success from 12 career starts to date, came off a mark of 56 so he's got to be of major interest off the ceiling rating now dropping into a 0-55 handicap this evening.
Drawn just outside likely pace-setter Cherry King, he should get a decent target to aim at and at 11/1 (general) there's enough juice in the price this morning to merit an each-way interest.
