After three successive winning NAP selections in the last three days, we’re hotter than Kate Beckinsale.
Take a look at our Lucky 15 selections (four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a four-fold) for the British meetings on Sunday, July 24, 2016.
SAVANNAH’S DREAM (Pontefract 2.20) may be able to get off the mark at the third attempt in the opening 5f juvenile maiden. David O’Meara’s Showcasing filly, who cost 42,000 guineas earlier this year, hails from a yard who is doing well with its youngsters lately. She was a little green when third on her Ripon debut and subsequently went to the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot as an unbacked 100/1 shot. However, she had clearly learned plenty in the interim as she was a fine second to runaway winner Ardad, having taken advantage of her good draw in favourable soft ground. The faster ground may be against her today, but she takes a drop in class to maiden company and it looks a very winnable 5f opener.
CONVEY (Pontefract 4.00) has won just one of his eight races and that is a tally that was probably not anticipated by connections of the well-bred Dansili four-year-old. Soft ground was against him in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot but he ran well for a long way in the Group 2 Summer Mile at the same venue earlier this month before fading late. The drop in class to Listed company for the Pomfret Stakes should be just what Sir Michael Stoute’s representative needs against weaker opposition.
BARABOY (Uttoxeter 3.00) can follow up his 2m course and distance win last time in a competitive handicap hurdle, although he will have to overcome an 11lb hike in the weights to do so. To be fair, he is still 3lb below his peak rating and the fitting of cheekpieces on his last two runs seem to have had the desired effect. There does not appear to be a great deal of strength in depth in division one of this race and Barry Murtagh’s representative looks the one to beat again.
TOP OF THE GLAS (Carlisle 3.15) is on a run of 25 races without a win since scoring at Chester in August 2014 off a mark of 80. His consistency in defeat means he is still running off the same mark today in a competitive 1m3f handicap. Brian Ellison’s representative was a close-up fourth to Sindarban here on his penultimate start before touched off when favourite at Newcastle over an extended 1m4f on the Newcastle all-weather surface last month. Fresh from a four-week break and wit 7lb claimer Ben Robinson aboard, that might just be enough to end the barren spell for the tough as teak five-year-old.
