Race 3 – ENOLA GREY 9/2

ENOLA GREY can get back to winning ways on her return to Newcastle in the Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Handicap.

A real flag-bearer for Gemma Tutty’s Northallerton yard since being bought for 10,000 guineas in November, the filly has improved from a mark of 66 to 74.

In six outings since her move Enola Grey has yet to finish outside the first two, showing that Tutty is very capable if given the correct tools to do the job.

Three of those outings have been at Gosforth Park and she has crucially won two, her only two successes since the switch.

On her most recent outing she just came off second best against another in-form filly in George Boughey’s Storymaker at Southwell.

Running off the same mark on a track that clearly suits, Enola Grey should prove hard to beat.

Race 4 – PRINCESS ALICE  7/2

PRINCESS ALICE has the look of a likely improver ahead of her her handicap debut off a mark of 70.

The U S Navy Flag filly has shown a decent level of form in novice company, kicking off her career with a two-length defeat when third at Kempton behind Nariko, who was having her third run and is currently rated 75.

Fifth on her next outing against more experienced rivals at Wolverhampton, she was actually the first home of those without a rating, the winner having finished second in the Lily Agnes way back in May.

Last time out at Kempton Princess Alice was beaten just over three lengths by the 83-rated Arisaig, who carried 5lb more, with a hot-pot from the Gosden yard in second.

On that showing she will take some beating in the BetMGM: It’s Showtime Handicap.

Race 7 – THE CALTONIAN 91/100

THE CALTONIAN is on very good terms with himself at the moment and should be stuck in division two of the Build Your Acca With BetUK Handicap.

Linda Perratt’s five-year-old is as effective over five furlongs as he is over six and has won one of each in his last two races.

Very impressive over six furlongs at Newcastle between Christmas and New Year, he defied an 8lb rise to win over five, again at Newcastle last week.

He has a 5lb penalty for that success but would have won the extra weight on his back eight days ago.

Race 8 – BERNIE THE BEAR 33/10

Perratt could also win with a newcomer to her yard, BERNIE THE BEAR in the Always Gamble Responsibly With BetUK Handicap.

Bought out of Richard Fahey’s yard for just 13,000 guineas, Perratt may have found herself a bargain.

He won three of his last six outings for Fahey, admittedly at a pretty lowly level, but Perratt has made a bit of a name for herself in extracting improvement from the cast-offs of others.
