ITV Racing is again on Friday with motion from Doncaster and Cheltenham beginning right here with a Novices’ chase over 2m. A really odd race, with 4 Irish raiders, and only one from Britain. Not simple to type out both. PATH D’OROUX doesn’t win as typically as I would love however has a great deal of expertise and a score that places him bang within the combine getting weight from all his rivals. He’s additionally been right here earlier than, having completed third to Sudden Occasion on this yr’s Grand Annual. If he repeats that effort he needs to be very exhausting to cease for Keith Donoghue and Gavin Cromwell.
The Flat racing is low class on ITV, getting underneath approach with a maiden for juvenile fillies over 1m. QUEEN OF THIEVES is the attention-grabbing newcomer for John & Thady Gosden with the wonderful Kieran Shoemark on high. The daughter of Frankel makes her debut and is bred to be respectable out of a Pivotal mare. She’s a sister to Cracksman.
Right here’s a handicap chase over 2m. TRIPLE TRADE returns on a handicap mark that needs to be workable for Joe Tizzard and Brendan Powell, and supplied he’s able to roll, I’m comfortable to probability him eachway. He was final seen off 137, ending a good fifth at Aintree in April, and has been dropped 2lb for that. It means he’s on the identical mark as when successful at Ascot in December 2023, and whereas he was a bit fortunate then as Harper’s Brook threw it away, he ought to nonetheless be able to operating nicely.
Right here’s a handicap over 1m. BENNETOT ran a shocker after I tipped him at York final time, however the situations are proper right here for him to bounce again, if he’s in a superb temper. David Nolan rides the five-year-old for David O’Meara and simply two runs in the past he completed a wonderful fourth within the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket. Situations and journey are best.
Up at school for a Grade 2 Novices’ hurdle over an prolonged 2m. I’m actually trying ahead to this as there are some thrilling prospects. Imaginarium was nearly the very best of those on the Flat and received nicely first time. BRAVE KNIGHT is on a four-timer and was an honest Flat stayer whereas Gale Mahler simply retains on successful. Dancing in Paris is a very powerful stayer who has been in good type on the extent. However this can be a powerful introduction. I’m comfortable to stay with my choose, who might go off in entrance and be exhausting to catch. He must brush up on his leaping however appears to be like helpful for Harry Cobden and Paul Nicholls.
A handicap over 6f. ZOUM ZOUM has not fairly obtained all of it collectively this yr, however these are his situations, and he’s dropped to 101 having began the marketing campaign off 104. Principally he’s a mud lover, who stays 7f nicely, and it would simply be operating at these 6f sorts late on thatwill go well with him. Rob Hornby is on high the the Greenham runner-up (dead-heated) for Ralph Beckett.
Right here’s an beginner jockeys’ handicap chase over 3m 1f. MOLE COURT has not received for a short time, however has some good Cheltenham type, so this could be the possibility to bounce again for Jack Andrews and Ben Pauling. My choice wasn’t disgraced at Uttoxeter two runs in the past when fourth in a giant area and landed this race in 2023, off 115. He’s on 125 right here, which clearly makes it more durable, however absolutely he’s been laid out for this.
So better of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
