Newsboy reckons his Nap, Media Mogul, can get the job done in at Wolverhampton in the 3.20 and he also expects course and distance winner Ravenglass to come good again in the 5.35 on the same card
MEDIA MOGUL is fancied to come good at the sixth attempt with a victory in the Free Bets With BetUK Bet Club Handicap (3.20) at Wolverhampton today.
The Ed Walker-trained son of Advertised failed to trouble the judge in three starts – two at Wolverhampton either side of one at Southwell – in midwinter, qualifying for a British Horseracing Authority handicap mark of 62.
Stepped up from a mile to a mile and a half for his debut in the sphere, my selection didn’t get the breaks en route to a fourth to Buxted Too at Kempton Park in the middle of last month.
Punters then made Media Mogul the 2-1 favourite for a six-runner handicap at Newcastle 23 days ago and, ridden by this afternoon’s jockey Billy Loughnane for the first time, he went under by a head to Market House.
The winner has gone in again and followed a close second at Newcastle in two outings since and Media Mogul, equipped with cheekpieces here, gets the vote to overcome a 3lb rise in the weights.Later on the Dunstall Park card, RAVENGLASS is expected to continue his good run of form by beating nine opponents for the Best Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap (Div II) (5.35).
