Newsboy casts some light for punters in the 4.15 at Wolverhampton with a James Owen stayer and he also fancies a promising three-year-old in the 3.15 on the same card
FASCINATING SHADOW can light up the Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (4.15) over an extended two miles at Wolverhampton.
The eight-year-old takes to the track just three days after plugging on to finish second behind well-backed favourite Nunc Set Bibendum at Southwell over a similar trip and the same mark as today.
James Owen’s gelding has proven he is more than capable of performing well after such a short break.
Running second at Lingfield Park at the beginning of last month over 1m 5f he then returned to the Surrey all-weather five days later and, having been headed a furlong out, put in a great effort to fight back and out-muscle Young Endless by half a length.
Clearly in fine fettle, he has Pat Cosgrave in the saddle for a yard in great form.
AUGUSTUS GLOOP will take all the beating in the Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap (3.15) over six furlongs.
On a very competitive mark for his trainer James Fanshawe, this progressive son of St Mark’s Basilica won a Newcastle novice event as a juvenile very easily on his third start and returns after a 100-day break for his handicap debut.
