LUCKY 15 SELECTIONS

HAY CHEWED (Leicester 3.45) can give champion jockey Silvestre De Sousa another winner in his bid to chase down champion-elect Jim Crowley in the jockeys’ title race, which comes to a conclusion on Saturday. Indeed, De Sousa has a great book of rides at Leicester this afternoon and could be worth following. Hay Chewed has won once in her last 13 starts, spanning two years, but that victory came over today’s 5f course and distance on her penultimate start, when accounting for the useful Ornate and five other rivals. She tends to hang left so her draw near the rail should aid her and she runs off a mark of 97, which is still 2lb lower than her career best a couple of years ago.

LADY CANFORD (Wolverhampton 6.15) has had 12 runs and has yet to win and is largely exposed. Rated just 51, she has finished third on each of her last two starts, both at Beverley. Under today’s pilot Josephine Gordon, she finished strongly over 1m½f on her penultimate and was not beaten far when upped to 1m2f last time under Nathan Evans. Trainer James Bethell employs 3lb claimer Gordon again this time in the 1m1½f classified race for horses who are rated 0-55 and who have not won more than one race. She handles this surface and she won’t get too many easier opportunities to get off the mark.

HENRY THE EXPLORER (Leicester 5.15) is still a maiden after 16 starts but now appears on a workable mark of 70, although the Jo Hughes-trained Henrythenavigator three-year-old has failed to register on his last four attempts off the same rating. However, he has been second on three of his last five outings and was beaten just three-quarters of a length at Epsom last time in a 1m maiden. Down in class to a 10-furlong 0-75 handicap, today could finally be the day.

KELVIN HALL (Musselburgh 2.50) has provided a few knockout blows to punters in recent times, finishing second on her last three starts for Mark Johnston. Though twice a winner on the all-weather this term, she is still looking for a first victory on turf but has been beaten under a length in two of her last three outings over 1m6f at Bath and latterly at Pontefract 1m4f. Both runs came on good to soft ground. By Halling, whose progeny generally prefer a little cut underfoot, she has yet to try a sound surface, but may get it for the first time today and if she lets herself down on the anticipated good to firm ground, she is capable of winning the 1m4½f handicap for horses rated 0-65.
