Newsboy fancies his nap, Buzz Iceclear, to leap into action at Wetherby in the opener at 12.38 and he also rates Justcallmepete on the all-weather at Chelmsford City (7.15)
BUZZ ICECLEAR can push beyond the boundaries to win at Wetherby in the three-mile wetherbyracing.co.uk Handicap Hurdle (12.38).
The five-year-old benefited from the step up to this trip on his seasonal reappearance at Ayr earlier this month after a 257-day layoff.
Making his handicap debut Mark Walford’s charge was game as they come as he battled gamely to retake the lead on the run-in to beat Gordon Elliott’s Themanintheboots by a neck, the pair drawing well clear of the third who was eight and a half lengths further back.
A 5lb penalty has been given as a result but he has plenty of potential as a staying handicap hurdler and can score again.
On the all-weather at Chelmsford City, course and distance winner JUSTCALLMEPETE can make a name for himself in the ‘Timeform Sprint Series Qualifier’ Handicap (7.15) over six furlongs.
The son of Bated Breath is another to be given a 5lb penalty, following a first victory since joining Tony Carroll’s yard at Kempton Park a week ago.
The six-year-old had previously shown a return to form with two silver medal efforts this autumn, and made all to make the top step at the Sunbury course by a length and a quarter.
