We have a competitive day’s racing on Sunday with flat action from Ffos Las, Newcastle and Craon, live on Sky Sports Racing…
6.45 Newcastle – Oliver Show and Golden Mind contest feature
The feature High Gosforth Park Golf Club Handicap looks a tricky puzzle to close a valuable Premier Raceday at Newcastle.
Oliver Show seems to excel on the all-weather, winning four times from 10 starts. He arrives on the back of a close-up fourth at Doncaster and must be respected for George Boughey and Billy Loughnane.
Golden Mind scored over this course and distance on his penultimate run and would have each-way chances if able to leave his disappointing Chester display behind him.
Of the others, 2024 Victoria Cup hero The Wizard Of Eye returns from a layoff, while the unexposed Grand Traverse cannot be ruled out.
1.55 Ffos Las – In-form First Greyed faces Salaria
Prolific First Greyed faces Salaria in a competitive Felinfoel RFC 150th Anniversary Novice Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap at Ffos Las.
The Thomas Faulkner-trained seven-year-old racked up a quick-fire hat-trick in the Spring and, provided he is in the same form after a break, he could prove tough to beat under Sam Burton.
Salaria, one of four three-year-olds in here, broke his maiden on stable debut at Pontefract and he might have more to offer.
4.30 Newcastle – Classy Siempre Arturo and Prince Of The Seas clash
A cracking Gosforth Bark Raw Pet Food Specialists Handicap sees Siempre Arturo take on Prince Of Seas.
Siempre Arturo ran out a surprise winner in the Racing League last month and the form has been franked by the runner-up. He followed up in taking style at Kempton and will be fancied off this five-pound higher mark.
Prince Of The Seas built on his third at Ascot to land a Goodwood handicap on his last start and a three-pound rise should see him competitive.
Gran Descans has shown useful form over this track an trip and improvement is expected on just this second all-weather appearance.
Best of the rest
Sha Tin – David Probert and Richard Kingscote are in action with a Group Three handicap headlining the card.
3.55 Newcastle – A competitive handicap over a mile and a quarter but all eyes will surely be on Bragbor who looks to make it three wins from four starts.
5.40 Newcastle – Foxtrot Flyer rates an interesting newcomer for Burke and Bloom against Augustus Gloop and Major Neigh Sayer who have both made encouraging starts to their careers.
6.15 Newcastle – Sword looks to go close in this much easier contest back down in class.
12.03 Craon – Jack Channon saddles Excellent Believe in this Listed heat after chasing home the high-class Zeus Olympios at Haydock.
