Ones to watch

We’ve done okay in this section over the last couple of days, mainly thanks to Coolmoor as Samuel Colt won at 5/2 on Tuesday and the previously mentioned Greenfinch getting up at 4/1 yesterday.

The market is going to be your best friend in a Newcomers’ Maiden Stakes, and the money is coming for Karl Burke’s Artistic Mission in the 13:35 at Wolverhampton.

He’s as short as 9/4 in some places, but available generally at 5/2. Betvictor appears to moving a bit slowly, however, and still has him at 4/1. So hopefully that’s still available by the time this goes out.

He’s a half-brother to First Folio, who has won a few times over 6f, and the gelded son of Showcasing should boast plenty of pace in this 7f contest.

Moving on to Newcastle, Cool Run improved in first-time cheekpieces when finishing second over 6f from 11/1 here last month. She drops to the minimum trip for the 17:10, and that could work in her favour as she was headed and made no impression in the final furlong lto. She’s 11/8

Over to Chelmsford, Zachary is getting a lot of support in the opener at 17:00. He won for the first time in his career over the minimum trip here from 9/2 last month, but couldn’t follow up under a penalty at Newcastle when coming home 4-11 lto.

He’s stepped up to 6f for just the second time this evening and could add a second win to his CV. The market is certainly implying so, as he’s as short as 6/5.

King Otis got off the mark on the 15th attempt in a novices’ handicap hurdle at Plumpton last month. He carries a 7lb penalty for that success in the 14:55 at Stratford, but claimer Lily Pinchin (3) takes away some of that. Can carry on winning way from 13/8 today.
