Mountain to peak at the right time on fourth chase start

Leicester

The Pam Sly-trained VERNATTI (3.50) is a daughter of former stablemate and 1,000 Guineas heroine, Speciosa. While the selection will never scale those heights, she won her last start and can go in again.

Last time out she was a convincing winner at Yarmouth, beating Longside by upwards of two lengths.

She is only rated 73, but after just four starts she has scope to improve and is less exposed than some in this field.

David O’Meara’s Vizier is the danger. He was a good winner at Hamilton last season.

Lingfield

BROTHER TIGER (4.10) lost his way at the end of last season and suffered big defeats in his first three starts of this campaign, but he was well supported here last time out and didn’t disappoint, coming home clear of Highly Sprung.

That took his Lingfield record to five wins from nine visits and a 4lb rise may not stop him making it six.

He appeared to have a bit in hand and he has defied marks higher than this in the past.

Redcar

ENDEAVOUR (4.30) can grab his hat-trick in the sprint handicap.

His last two wins came for Richard Hannon and he has now moved to the Marjorie Fife yard, but there seems no reason why he won’t carry on his improvement for his new stable.

He won a seller at Leicester in April and then improved from that to take a handicap at Brighton last time out in comfortable style.

He is now only 4lb higher than when he started the winning sequence.

Wolverhampton

There are some interesting newcomers in the 7f maiden but DHALAM (7.10) can put his experience to good use.

John Gosden’s colt was beaten just a neck at Kempton on his debut last month and again showed promise at Newbury 17 days later, entering the final furlong with a two-length lead but fading in the closing stages.

Connections now reach for a tongue-tie and the drop back from a mile can also help.

Newton Abbot

Alex Dunn has three runners on this card, headed by GOLD MOUNTAIN (7.50) in the 2m5f handicap chase.

The seven-year-old tumbled out of a Chepstow handicap at the second fence in April but his profile has otherwise been progressive and he easily won at Taunton 12 days later, surging clear of his two rivals when Richie McLernon asked him. This is tougher but he should have more to offer in just his fourth chase.
