Runman can maintain unbeaten record at Nottingham
John and Thady Gosden’s unbeaten Runman looks more than capable of taking the opening £9 Racedays At Nottingham Novice Stakes at Colwick Park on Tuesday.
He made a good start to his career when winning on his sole start as a two-year-old before running out a ready victor on his seasonal reappearance when a long odds-on favourite at Epsom last month.
The son of Frankel seems to have plenty of improvement left in him and will be expected to win again here for a yard in very good form.
The Family Fun Raceday Sunday 31st May Novice Stakes looks to be contested by some interesting and unexposed horses but Bay Royale may be the best of them for Harry Eustace.
A comfortable winner on seasonal reappearance over this course and distance, this New Bay colt has every chance to add a second victory to his tally.
Capichera is yet to get her head in front but comes here holding good form when just 1.5-lengths behind the subsequently Listed-placed So Regal in a strong Newmarket maiden.
She should be able to progress enough to claim her first win in the Events And Hospitality At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap and build on her opening mark of 80.
Wondrous Light’s last time out form is probably better than it reads, she did well to be beaten only 1.5-lengths having found herself short of room when coming with a strong late run at Southwell.
Now back on her preferred turf, she will be hoping for a clear run to get her head back in front for Jonathan Portman in the Conferences And Events At Nottingham Racecourse Fillies’ Handicap.
Adam Nicol has proved under both codes he is a very good operator and his Lady Phoebe looks capable of defying top-weight in the Celebrating 10 Years Of Tapeta At Newcastle Apprentice Handicap at Newcastle.
The dual purpose performer hacked up at Pontefract last time out and is only 6lb higher. She could be about to go on a decent run.
Richard Spencer’s Gold Digger has not been seen since finishing sixth of 17 in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot behind Venetian Sun.
She has obviously had issues, but even her Yarmouth debut where she beat Awaken gives her serious claims in the In Loving Memory Of Yvonne Rush Novice Stakes. – Press Association
