Sheffield Race Fields - 28th Apr 2024

Opportunity knocks so far as LIGHTFOOT ODIE (trap 4) is concerned here and, if running up to her usual mark, she can get the job done. Loves Starlight (trap 3) should to be in the mix at the business end and looks forecast material. Easy Dal (trap 5) is still adjusting to life here - will the market speak positively about his chances?

SANDWOOD AVA (trap 2) seems well in at the weights and would be fancied to make it count if things pan out as expected through the early going. Trickycinderella (trap 3) comes into the equation and looks the most likely to chase the selection home. Burgess Bono (trap 1) looks to have fair claims and can make the frame.

RUSSANDA LEXI (trap 5) has been sent off at skinny-enough prices such is her level of ability for this class and hopes can be pinned to her mast here. Leighas Start (trap 3) regularly attracts a large share of the market and it's with good reason. Jacobite (trap 4) can't be dismissed lightly, even though he may have to play a minor role.

If things go to plan from the outset, there's little doubt that WHOLOVESYE (trap 5) is as quick as any here and he is taken to show these the way home. Ballygur Nidge (trap 1) looks the obvious threat although he will need to tread carefully through the early going. Links Dream (trap 4) has a taste for success and shouldn't wilt under pressure.

Things didn't play out for GOOD SOPHIA (trap 4) latest but she still managed to salute the judge and she could well be doing so again today. Yes Butt No Butt (trap 2) can make his intentions known early, but may give best to the selection at the death. The bookies tend to keep Distant Fox (trap 1) on side, but they'll probably want to lay the rest.

Witton Supremo (trap 6) is clearly one to keep an eye on.

LINKS WEAPON (trap 1) will be looking to show these who's the boss and he has the form in the book to suggest he is indeed the one to beat. It may be a case of onwards and upwards for Ballymac Tabia (trap 2) after her recent win.

There's plenty of clues on the form card to suggest EDENCURRA MARKER (trap 3) can do the business against these rivals and she looks the play. The form of Tommys Image (trap 1) is gathering momentum following season and she's a big runner. Canavour Con (trap 6) is a proven ready winner and he has a chance of making the frame.

ELLANNE RUN (trap 4) has a clear-cut chance of knocking these rivals into a cocked hat, but that won't be lost on the bookies who will offer skinny odds. The recent victory of Ballymac Lawless (trap 1) catches the eye and another praiseworthy effort is expected. Recent gold medalist Money Partner (trap 6) takes the eye for tricast money.

It's easy to be taken by GOTHIC ICON (trap 1) in this field and he gets the vote for sure. With a decent start, he should soon be in a winning position. Sandiford Ivy (trap 4) is expected to be in the shake-up and looks the most obvious link for forecasts. Links Bomber (trap 3) could be muscling in on the action if getting some early breaks.

ROMEO TO VICTORY (trap 3) could be well in against these opponents and, as such, is not likely to be very attractively priced but should oblige nonetheless. The chances of Barnside Tigger (trap 1) rest on a clear run and the inside slot should help in that regard. Rocking Taylor (trap 2) is finding the game a piece of cake right now.

Bookies are likely to adopt a cautious approach with FOGGY BOTTOM (trap 1) as he is the most likely winner if getting the run of things. Hazelhill Coco (trap 6) should be around at the close of play and may even put it up to the selection. Are Malikian (trap 2) could ask a few questions of these if avoiding an early nudge.
