We have a busy day’s racing on Saturday with action from Newton Abbot and Wolverhampton, live on Sky Sports Racing…
3.49 Newton Abbot – In-form Calimystic, Kap Ouest and Bumpy Evans clash
In-form Calimystic and Kap Quest lock horns in an excellent Happy 45th Birthday Andy Hurtley Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot.
Nicky Henderson’s Calimystic made it two wins from two starts over the larger obstacles when a cosy winner at Sandown last month and this looks a good opportunity to follow up under a 6lbs penalty.
Kap Ouest is another who arrives in good heart having scored nicely at Exeter and he remains capable of better in this sphere.
Best of the rest looks to be Wincanton winner Nickelforce and Bumpy Evans, who is five from eight over fences and dips in class here.
4.20 Newton Abbot – Call Me Legend and Crossgales King feature
Call Me Legend and Crossgales King do battle in a tight renewal of the South West Rail Solutions Ltd. Handicap Hurdle at 4.20pm.
The Hobbs and White team saddle topweight Call Me Legend who was narrowly denied by a stablemate at Exeter and has cheekpieces added to eke out a little more improvement.
Crossgales King, a length behind Call Me Legend on his penultimate run, landed a first hurdling success at Wincanton on his last start and should be in the mix again.
Top Guy and Walk Tall complete the shortlist.
7.30 Wolverhampton – Hat-trick seeking Codiak headlines
The pick of the evening action at Dunstall Park sees Codiak bid for another victory in in the Thank You To Omari For The Support Handicap.
The Ed Bethell-trained four-year-old impressed with the manner of his latest success at Southwell, coming from an unfavourable position to win nicely and he is rates the one to beat as he seeks the hat-trick under Callum Rodriguez.
Pride Of Donegal doubled his career tally when claiming a course and distance handicap and must be feared if in similar mood.
James Fanshawe’s Charmaine is certainly weighted to go close if fit enough on her return from a 195-day break.
Best of the rest
12.30 Santa Anita – Grade One Santa Anita Derby – Potente and Robusta reoppose with Intrepido of interest after his Rober B Lewis effort.
10.16 Keeneland – Grade One Madison for the Fillies and Mares. Ragtime, Eclatant and Mystic Lake make appeal.
11.22 Keeneland – Grade One Toyota Blue Grass with the giant Great White, Further Ado and Class President among nine runners.
11.34 Aqueduct – Grade Two where Iron Honor will be fancied.
5.55 Randwick – Group One T J Smith Stakes with Tentyris and Joliestar headlining.
6.35 Randwick – Group One with Sheza Alibi, Pericles and Autumn Boy involved.
7.15 Randwick – Group One Australian Derby with Green Spaces and Observer re-opposing among a 13-runner field.
5.20 Randwick – Group One for two-year-olds.
4.55 Newton Abbot – A fair looking bumper with a few choice fillies. Henderson and Nico team up.
5.15 Wolverhampton – Only three go to post but looks set to be a good little maiden.
6.20 Wolverhampton – Constant Star bids to go one better in fillies’ maiden.
