Drop back in trip to suit Never Surrender

Never Surrender takes his chance in the Better Odds With Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap (2.25).

I don’t think he stayed 1m6f at Haydock last time so we’re bringing him back in trip to 1m4f. He was seventh in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot the time before, which was a good effort and that form gives him a squeak.

Smooth Sailing is on duty in the Markel Insurance Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (4.10).

She got a little lost on her debut at Windsor but has done a couple of nice bits of work since. She might still be a shade inexperienced to win a contest like this at this stage, but hopefully she’ll run a nice race.

Global Passion heads to Redcar for the racinguk.com/join British EBF Novice Stakes (2.00) on Wednesday.

He’s run well in his two starts but looks ready for 6f now and has plenty of stamina on the dam’s side.

Spoof, who has been gelded since his last run, appears in the Racing UK Profits Returned To Racing Nursery Handicap (6.20) at Sandown and I’m hoping the ground dries out for him.
