Ones to watch

Sweetest (7/4) is a horse I think I’ve sided with on all three of her starts, and I’d clearly back her off a cliff as I’m on her again today. She’s placed on her three starts to date, coming third in a Naas maiden lto. That form has been boosted as the winner has since won a Group 3 at Ayr while second was close behind Alabama at Dundalk last week. Tongue tie on today and good chance to get off the mark. But this will be last time I side with her if she doesn’t get off the mark.

Ziggy’s Condor was on the list for this section last night, but he’s a non-runner today. It’s ok though, because I found another. Knicks (10/3) has knocked on the door a couple of times now, finishing second at Ayr in July and he was arguably unlucky not to shed his maiden tag at Carlisle last time — having to switch left in the final stages but staying on late to go down by the narrowest of margins in third. William Buick rides him in the 15:15 at Nottingham today and he has a 19.4% SR at this course over the last five years.

Belo Horizonte (5/2) is a newsletter/telegram favourite and he’s going for five-timer today in the 15:35 at Lingfield. Three of those wins came at this course with his last coming by a length over Al Tarfa earlier this month. This is a step up in class and the Richard Spencer horse is up 7lb in the weights, but he still has a good chance.
