BETS FROM CARTMEL TO KEMPTON: Daqman goes from Cartmel to Kempton on a six-hour trek to find the winners from six cards today. But he didn’t even have to put his socks on. All were backed in the homely glow of the BETDAQ orange. Can he fill your boots today?
DERBY SEARCH STARTS TOMORROW: Tomorrow he logs the latest on the Derby. Follow his countdown to the Epsom Classic and to The Curragh version beyond. Plus Sunday’s French equivalent at Chantilly. After two Irish Guineas at the weekend, he wants at least a brace of Derbys.
COSTLY ALASAAL TO SHOW CLASS AT KEMPTON
2.20 Cartmel On Monday, James Moffatt secured Fantasy King his first win since 2013. Today he saddles Dumbarton, who hasn’t scored since 2011.
But the seven-year-old entire is a total of 12lb lower (down 9lb, plus 3lb claim) than when fourth in a much stronger race for this last year. Every wee dog has his day. The 15.5 offers on BETDAQ taken early mouse covered the ‘maybe’.
5.00 Cartmel Word is that Sophie Leech has Rolling Dough spot on for a repeat, with the ground come right for last year’s winning mare.
Winning rider Paul Moloney is back on this one for the first time this year, after a run back for this family horse at Warwick recently.
5.50 Gowran Park Once upon a time, in olden days before John F Kennedy and Ol’ Man River, you could back Ballydoyle three-year-old maidens with alacrity.
But Sir Isaac Newton, to mention only a few, has failed twice at odds on, albeit Dermot Weld’s Valac has done the same. Two colts, two races, four odds-on defeats.
And that’s not even the fun of it. Valac has run second to Hans Holbein and Sir Isaac Newton ran up to Zawraq, colts at the front of the betting for the Derby.
I’ll be talking more about the Derby tomorrow – and for the next 10 days – but the best of two maidens is a novel way to find collateral form to solve the jigsaw of Epsom.
7.10 Kempton William Haggas landed a hat-trick yesterday, and is five from eight, but has just one runner in the next three days’ racing.
Only Alasaal in this maiden represents the stable before raids at Newcastle, Haydock and Catterick on Saturday.
And Alasaal is by the prolific sire of two-year-olds (61% winners to runners), War Front, whose get include Declaration of War (won first time out) and War Command (won first time out).
No wonder the Hamdan-owned Alasaal made 550,000 dollars as a yearling. I grabbed the early 5.0 offers on BETDAQ, after good gallops reports. Could be a standout on a day of low-class racing.
7.40 Kempton It might be a load of old ones, but I hear that New Identity is working well for Denis Coakley, who trains for my local cobbler.
The Coakley contenders are all running well at this time, and Denis has booked Cam Hardie (43% for the yard) to claim a valuable 3lb off 19.0 offer New Identity, who has been gelded for his 2015 campaign. Not so much with the cobblers then.
8.40 Kempton Ryan Moore is here for the ride on his dad’s Marmalady, two out of three over this 6f at Kempton. Punters fear the 11 draw, yet they are making favourite the Chelmsford winner, Doctor Sardonicus, who is in the adjacent stall 10.
It’s such a modest field that an early-mouse 8.0 Marmalady allows for the difficulties Ryan may have to face. If only we could get 8.0 about all Moore-Moore mounts poised to win (Marmalay has had a run back).
