Gosdens send Oaks contender to Lingfield and a trainer's eyecatching juvenile stat

Ayr: Sheffield fans spirits could be lifted with maiden-seeker

It was not to be in Sheffield United's automatic promotion push from the Championship but a horse named after their anthem could give fans something to cheer about in the 5f maiden (3.00).

Youfillupmysenses, who is owned by Barmyblades II, is the first line of the song their fans sing called 'greasy chip butty', which is belted out to the tune of John Denver's Annie's Song.

Sheffield United missed out to Leeds and Burnley in the automatic promotion race and have had to settle for the playoffs, but Youfillupmysenses could give their Blades-mad owners a morale boost ahead of them.

The Tim Easterby-trained juvenile is one of only two in the race with any experience, and also receives 5lb from three of her four rivals.

Ayr stat: smart strike-rate

Alice Haynes has an eyecatching 43 per cent strike-rate in two-year-old races, other than handicaps, at Ayr. She runs Wateen in the 5f maiden (3.00).

Lingfield: Gosden unleash possible Oaks contender

Go Go Boots has a Betfred Oaks entry and could enhance her Classic aspirations should she win the 1m2f novice contest for fillies (3.45).

Trained by John and Thady Gosden, she is a 33-1 chance for the Oaks after winning on her debut at this track in early December. We know the Gosden yard can unleash a top-class filly on the all-weather, given Enable started her career on it.

The Night Of Thunder filly has to give 7lb to her rivals here, but she is the clear form standard and could shorten for the Oaks, which her stable last won two years ago with Soul Sister.

Windsor: trainer bids for breakthrough win

Charlie Clover bids for a first winner after some frustrating near-misses.

The Newmarket trainer has gone close with his runners for Amo Racing, having had three seconds and two fourths from his six runners for Kia Joorabchian's operation.

In the 6f handicap (4.25) Clover relies on Pit Boss, a three-year-old who has not been seen since finishing second on his final start for George Boughey last June.

Clover said: "He seems in good order but he's had a fair bit of time off track. He should run nicely.

"Our horses on the whole have been doing well, they look great and they've been improving. We just need that bit of luck to turn those seconds into firsts."

Windsor stat: yard to follow

John and Thady Gosden are 3-5 with runners in the 1m2f maiden (6.00) and field Lemurian and Derby hopeful Tycoon.

Wolverhampton: Aberama going for more Gold

Aberama Gold has won a couple of Britain's most prestigious sprint contests, but he aims to end a lengthy losing streak when he contests the 6f handicap (8.20).

The David O'Meara-trained eight-year-old most notably won the Stewards' Cup two years ago at Glorious Goodwood, while he also struck in Listed company when he was trained by Keith Dalgleish.

However, Aberama Gold has not tasted victory since October 2023 and he attempts to end his 20-race losing streak against six rivals here.

He has been showing signs that a return to the winner's enclosure is imminent, with runner-up efforts on his last three starts, and went down by only three-quarters of a length to Dakota Gold at Ripon last time.
