Steve Ryder – Robin Goodfellow
Despite having to concede 3lb to some improving four-year-olds, AL AASY (NAP) can enhance his impressive Newbury record in the 12.50. A four-time winner at the track — including in this race in 2021 — he won at Sandown on his reappearance and can follow up back up in trip.
Fellow eight-year-old PERSUASION (NB) has a strong chance in the opener at Newmarket (1.05). He won at 18-1 on his penultimate start before getting caught too far back from a wide draw at Chester. He has run well over this course and distance and jockey Luke Catton takes off a handy 5lb.
Wizard Of Odds – Chris Baker
3.45 Newbury: The William Haggas-trained
ELMONJED (NAP) was a progressive sprinter last season, shaped well on his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket and has won two out of two when wearing blinkers, which go back on today.
4.20 Newbury
EBT’S GUARD defied big odds to win the Spring Cup at this venue two starts ago and probably wasn’t suited by the drop back to seven furlongs at Ascot last week.
4.30 Thirsk
Front runner IT JUST TAKES TIME should be at peak fitness for this third run of the season. He is a dual course winner and will appreciate the step back up in trip.
