Dave Nevison fancies a pair at Wetherby on Thursday and is also sweet o one at Huntingdon. Watch what happens on Racing TV.
1.20 Wetherby: Walk On Quest
The youngest horse in this field, Walk on Quest, took well to chasing last season.
He won his first four races over fences on the spin, going up 20lb in the handicap as he progressed.
He was probably over the top by the spring and disappointed on his final two starts but has seemingly been freshened up by a break and looks poised to win again soon.
It was only a 0-120 that he ran second in at Newcastle last time but this higher grade race contains mainly exposed chasers.
1.55 Wetherby: Toby Two Scoops
Toby Two Scoops has been placed in all his hurdle runs but doesn’t look to have any improvement left in him over the minimum trip and has been crying out for this step up.
He stays 2m on the Flat, so it was always likely that he would need further over Jumps and this ordinary handicap represents a good opportunity for him.
Micky Hammond has secured Brian Hughes for the ride and with a strong pace on the cards it is difficult to see the four-year-old not running a decent race.
2.40 Huntingdon: Albie Littlewood
Albie Littlewood had been progressing slowly over 2m in novices’ hurdles when going off at big prices.
He is a half-brother to the useful Roksana and closely related to other good stayers, so it was no surprise to see him gambled on last time when Dan Skelton stepped him up in trip for his first handicap.
He only won by a neck but it was a cosy victory and the handicapper has raised him 7lb, which is probably as much as he could given the margin.
Albie Littlewood can win again before progressing significantly higher up the ratings.
