Newsboy reckons his Nap, French Haven, is a safe bet at Hamilton in the closing Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap (9.00) and he also rates Newfangled in the 7.10 at Kempton
FRENCH HAVEN (9.00, Nap) can secure victory in the Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap over a mile.
The three-year-old, trained by Charlie Johnston, got off the mark on her sixth racecourse appearance at Newmarket over the same trip in May, with the booking of Jamie Spencer seeming to make all the difference.
Using his trademark hold-up tactics, the jockey got a tune out of the filly, coming with a late rattle to beat Renesmee by half a length.
Raised 2lb Spencer was on board again 10 days ago when she finished a fine second in a handicap at Nottingham, having been slow to get into her stride.
Joe Fanning takes the ride today at Hamilton and similar tactics will clearly suit her.
At Kempton Park, NEWFANGLED (7.10, nb) can continue his fine run of form this season in the Merv Cox Memorial Handicap over a mile.
A two-time winner over the trip at Lingfield on the all-weather and at Windsor this term, Jonathan Portman’s four-year-old chased home re-opposing Walson’s Law by two and a quarter lengths in a Windsor handicap nine days ago.
The gelding can turn the tables on 5lb better terms today with a rival whose record suggests may be better suited to turf.
