Newsboy's racing tips for Monday's four meetings, including Leicester nap
BUDDY’S BEAUTY is fancied to return to winning ways by beating 11 rivals for the Dale Hall & Hickman Associates Handicap (3.50) at Leicester today.
The John Gallagher-saddled daughter of Equiano has progressed since being sent into handicap company this summer, starting the ball rolling with a half-length score at Nottingham in June.
Two weeks later, Rhys Clutterbuck’s mount followed up, scoring by four and a half lengths over this afternoon’s course and distance.
Buddy’s Beauty failed by a short head to rack up the hat-trick when beaten by Bang On The Bell back at Colwick Park on her latest start.
My selection was a non-runner at Goodwood at the end of last month when refusing to enter the starting stalls.
Buddy’s Beauty did the same thing three times in 2022 but has the untapped potential to improve past her current British Horseracing Authority mark of 68 if remedial work at the starting gate has done the trick.
At Hamilton Park, GLENDOWN gets the vote to give his rivals weight and a beating in the Barbara Ann Letham & Son Jonathan Memorial Handicap (4.05).
His two-and-three-quarter-length beating of Captain Cuddles at Chester 10 days ago ranks as a personal best, and the Tim Easterby three-year-old has more to offer.
