NICKY BABY LOOKS PICK OF IVORY TRIO
NICKY BABY is one of three Dean Ivory runners today, when contesting the 1.20 at Lingfield, a handicap over 7f and the grey gelding looks the pick of the three.

DORS LAW NEEDS TO UP HER GAME
DORS LAW is the stable’s sole runner today when she contests an apprentice race at Wolverhampton (5.50pm) over 9.5 furlongs and she needs to improve on her last run to figure.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK: CON CAPS A GOOD WEEK FOR YARD
CAPPANANTY CON broke his duck last week when winning impressively at Wolverhampton in a week which saw the yard have a win and two seconds from four runners.

FIRMDECISIONS SUCH A FORCE OVER SEVEN FURLONGS
FIRMDECISIONS is back to Kempton today in the 3.05 but again over his preferred seven furlongs and despite being raised 3lbs for his 1/4 length defeat last time out at Chelmsford, he should still be competitive.

ELJADDAAF TO DEFY PENALTY
DEAN IVORY’S progressive Eljaddaaf is expected to defy a 6lb penalty today at Wolverhampton (7.15pm) and record his seventh win in 17 starts. He went up 12lbs for his last win and so his theoretically 6lbs well in. Despite being drawn 10, he could be the proverbial “good thing” at 6/4 under Robert Winston. Earlier… Read more »

BLINKERS TRIED TO IMPROVE PEARLY QUEEN
PEARLY QUEEN is one of the lesser lights at Harper Lodge Farm with no wins and no places in eight starts. Today, she runs in first time blinkers in the 8 o’clock at Chelmsford and this might bring about some improvement. The daughter of Dutch Art is also dropping back to a mile and with… Read more »
