Newsboy expects a William Knight-trained four-year-old to score again at Southwell in the 6.30 and he also rates a Olly Murphy hurdler to break his maiden at Leicester in the 2.32
TIMELY AFFAIR (6.30) can build on his recent debut success to win the Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap over a mile at Southwell.
The lightly raced son of Time Test won a classified event over course and distance 16 days ago having been a silver medallist on his handicap bow over track and trip prior to that.
William Knight’s four-year-old battled on gamely to win by a head from Relevant Range, who has gone on to win since.
The fourth that day, Pink Socks, has also prevailed in recent days, running up a hat-trick of victories in eight days.
The form, therefore, works out very well, and my selection is an unexposed and progressive type who should deliver the goods.
At Leicester, SEAVIEW ROCK (2.32) is taken to open his account in the Join Racing TV Now Maiden Hurdle over two miles.
Olly Murphy’s six-year-old was originally sold for £72,000 after finishing a close third on his one point start.
He has had one run under Rules since, finishing a promising second over course and distance behind Dan Skelton’s useful novice A Pai De Nom 47 days ago.
That race was run on heavy ground, so today’s testing conditions should suit him to a tee.
