Top Fakenham trainer has one runner there and Amo Racing unleash another fancied juvenile - Tuesday's punting pointers
Punting pointers for Tuesday's meetings . . .
Fakenham: trainer to watch
No trainer has had more winners at Fakenham this season than James Owen and he has just one runner bidding to make it 11 victories at the course.
Star Legend was a winner over the course and distance in December and heads to the 2m7½f handicap hurdle (3.45) in form having landed a 1m6f handicap on the all-weather at Chelmsford on Thursday.
Alex Chadwick was aboard for his last course win and takes over again, while the Owen yard enjoyed a good weekend with an across-the-card Saturday double at Doncaster and Stratford.
Fakenham stat: 80 per cent
Stuart Edmunds' strike-rate at the track with handicap hurdlers. He could enhance that record with three runners, Varinia (2.10), Toonagh Warrior (3.45) and Busy Being Busy (4.20).
Limerick: McConnell bids for first winner for leading owners
John McConnell has attracted the interest of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, and he will look to train his first winner for them with Kevin's Pride in the 3m maiden hurdle (4.40).
It is Kevin's Pride's third try over hurdles. He was beaten a neck when 6-4 over 2m4f at Carlisle before filling the same spot when 1-2 at Bangor in December.
A longer trip is sure to suit looking at his pedigree while the owners' first-choice jockey, JJ Slevin, takes over for the ride.
Lingfield: jockey watch
Apprentice Joe Leavy has made a fine start to 2025 with 15 winners and takes just one ride on Tuesday on course-and-distance winner Tyger Bay in the 6f handicap (2.02).
Tyger Bay, who represents Conrad Allen, was third and second on his last two course-and-distance starts, beaten a length and three-quarters on the most recent of those. He is now 3lb lower, his lowest mark since the summer of 2021.
Leavy also has winning experience on Tyger Bay at Bath last April.
Lingfield stat: trainer to note
James Tate is 3-6 with his runners in the last two weeks and has exciting newcomer Phyllis Burton in the mile fillies' maiden (2.32).
Wolverhampton: Lincoln-winning combo back in action
The two-year-old season got under way with a thrilling Brocklesby at Doncaster and Amo Racing unleash another exciting type in Hollywood Treasure.
The daughter of Gregorian is trained by Raphael Freire, based at Sir Michael Stoute's former Newmarket yard, and cost 32,000gns as a yearling.
Opposition in the 5f novice stakes (6.00) includes Could Be The Move and Kesta, from the Alice Haynes and Eve Johnson Houghton yards, both of which excel with juveniles.
