Just a polytrack meeting at Kempton to
concentrate on, but one or 2 good opportunities present themselves, and the
quality isn’t bad overall. Geoff Deacon’s Glastonberry
has been a credit to her trainer since returning from a break in November, and
should go well in the opener, while the 14:20 looks a competitive affair with
Haftohaf and Light From Mars currently dominating the market. The former is
proving expensive to follow after being turned over at short odds on his last 2
starts, while the latter is undeniably well handicapped, but has never been one
for maximum faith. As a result, there is some value to be had in backing top weight
Angelic Upstart who has been running
creditably in stronger races and has the promising Thomas Brown claiming 7 lbs
today. The fitting of a visor is a proven tactic for trainer Andrew Balding,
and the Singspiel gelding will be a major player if the headgear has a positive
effect.
It takes something of a leap of faith
to back Mambo Spirit (15:30) at the
moment, as his last few runs have been poor, but he has always been at his best
over C&D, and looks very well treated on the form he showed when winning a
seller here just over a year ago, and even a repeat of his second in a claimer
behind Marajaa here in February would make him the clear pick. In a race
lacking positives, Tony Newcombe’s charge is worth considering at likely odds.
