Bank on Bramshill Lass to be a winner at Lingfield again
BRAMSHILL Lass could be one to bet on in the lingfieldpark.co.uk Handicap at the Surrey circuit.
The Amanda Perrett-trained three-year-old could hardly have been more impressive over this course and distance last month.
Still with a bit to do approaching the business end, the Notnowcato filly picked up superbly to cut down odds-on jolly Cotton Trader, with a subsequent winner in third.
Clearly suited by that step up in distance, she could easily be better than the 74 rating she starts life on her handicap bow.
Matthew Cosham's 5lb claim makes the David Evans-trained Pale Orchid interesting in the marriottlingfieldpark.co.uk Handicap. The ex-Irish-trained three-year-old has done well since his switch to Evans' Monmouthshire base, winning two of his five starts and being second in the other three.
The latest of those was at Kempton earlier this month, where he was short-headed by John Gosden's Discoverer right on the line, the pair fully eight lengths clear of the third.
That was off a mark of 79 and, while the handicapper has put him up 5lb, Evans has acted to negate the rise, which gives him every chance.
Mottley Crewe is in the notebook to back again when he runs at Southwell, where he is undoubtedly best, but there are reasons to follow him in the Bet And Watch At bluesq.com Claiming Stakes.
Richard Guest's charge was last of eight here when last seen, but that was in a hot televised handicap won by Palace Moon, and he was not beaten that far in the great scheme of things. This a marked drop in class.
John Louis makes plenty of appeal at Kempton in the Betdaq Multiples Handicap. The lightly-raced four-year-old has done well since returning from a break, getting on well with Jimmy Fortune, who retains the ride for trainer Philip McBride.
Having not run since August, the Bertolini gelding performed much better than his final placing indicates on his return – and all-weather debut – here in January in what was a pretty solid event won by Prince Of Burma.
The impression he had a race in him was backed up next time at Lingfield, where he was always doing enough to hold the second horse stepped up to ten furlongs, again under Fortune. Given his profile, there might just be a bit left to work with off a mark of 71.
It is slightly surprising to find Faasel has never been sent to Doncaster in his long career, as the South Yorkshire track would appear to play to his strengths.
If he puts his best foot forward, the long Town Moor straight should be ideal for him in the 32Red Veterans' Handicap Chase, which is a fair drop from the last three races he has run in.
The Rebecca Curtis-trained Monte Cavallo bumped into a decent performer on his hurdling debut and can go one better in the Walford & North Shropshire College Maiden Hurdle at Ludlow.
