SOMETHING LUCKY (Wolverhampton, 2.55) has been running with credit in some decent handicaps this year but has found it hard to get his head back in front after an amazing 2018.

UNCLE CHARLIE took his record on his second start of the season to 111 (3-3) when landing a 7f handicap at Carlisle in June of last year and can make it four from four when he contests the 6f Penrith Handicap at the same venue (2.45).

DUKE OF FIRENZE (Redcar, 4.05) may be getting on a bit but the ageing legs have found a new lease of life judging by his victory on Saturday.

The feature flat on Sundays comes at Naas, where our man O'Malley has three interesting fancies...

GURKHA FRIEND (stall five of ten) has made all in the past two renewals of Ripon’s Wilmot-Smith Memorial Handicap and is taken to complete his hat-trick on Sunday (4.20).

At the last Thirsk meeting the stands’ side bias returned in the sprint races, favouring those drawn high. BURMESE BLAZER was sent off as the 9-2 favourite for a 5f handicap but was drawn on the wrong side, finishing sixth from stall six behind runners drawn 16, 14, 15, 18 and 17. He returns to Thirsk for the Celebrating The Life Of Sandra Rowcroft Handicap today (2.45) and looks much better berthed in stall 17.
