Barry Hill had his first off day yesterday in a while and is summoned back today to fire over you some more winners. :)
4.00 CATTERICK
Happy Big Birthday Charlotte Handicap
ADVERTORIAL - 4/1
This is a modest contest, but ADVERTORIAL stands out for Ed Dunlop’s in-form yard. She was below par last time after a quick turnaround, but her previous win at Wolverhampton off just 2lb lower makes her a solid player here. She stays well, which may be key against favourite Penn Avenue, who tackles a much longer trip.
4.30 CATTERICK
Sky Bet Go-Racing-In-Yorkshire Summer Festival Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
BOSPHORUS ROSE - EVS
BOSPHORUS ROSE looks the one to beat in this Class 4 mile-and-a-half handicap. Sir Mark Prescott’s filly stayed on strongly to win narrowly at Epsom last time and is only 3lb higher. She’s progressing well and should relish this trip again. With Luke Morris booked and the yard’s strong record with middle-distance types, she can see off Me And Bobby McGee and the rest.
7.45 NAAS
COMMANCHE BRAVE - 7/4
Comanche Brave sets the standard in the 7f conditions race after three strong runs this year. He was a fine third in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot, doing best of the closers, and looks well suited by this test. Expanded needs to bounce back after a poor run in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, so Comanche Brave is the one to beat.
