Hove Race Fields - 27th Apr 2024

The fan club of COOLIOGOLD (trap 1) could be poised to unload the cash as he does look to have plenty of chance of saluting in this affair. King Sydney (trap 4) is feared even though he is not guaranteed to get round unscathed as drawn.

Expectations will be low about any rich pickings surrounding KING MEMPHIS (trap 4), but expectations of a huge run on the track will be high here. Newinn Syd (trap 3) is on cloud nine at the moment and should give another bold showing. Getup Me Boy (trap 5) may not have such the hopeless task that his odds could suggest.

There is likely to be plenty of confidence surrounding COPPICE FOX (trap 6) in the market today and, if things go to form, it should be justified. Magical Oscar (trap 2) will be in there pitching at the business end if things go to plan through the early stages. Patterdale Zorro (trap 3) may not be a leading fancy but could turn a few heads by boosting tricasts.

The claims of DE PAN HANDLER (trap 2) look glaringly obvious and it will take a big effort from one of his rivals to lower he colours if this is a truly run contest. Clairkeith Santi (trap 6) has had the bookies running for cover before and this represents a solid chance. Lightfoot Falcon (trap 3) enjoyed a victory parade latest and will not crumble easily.

The laws of supply and demand are expected to dictate that MARKO THE GREAT (trap 3) will be sent off at short odds for a contest that he stands out in. Droopys Finn (trap 4) has a shout timewise and should certainly be amongst the medals. Supporters can't ask too much more of Soul Reason (trap 6).

The task ahead of QUEEN GEORGIA (trap 2) today looks very makeable and, as such, the bookies are unlikely to be very flamboyant with their chalk. Betsys Bullet (trap 3) knows where the winning line is and looks the main danger. Coppice Ella (trap 6) can be involved at the close of play and make the frame.

UNTOLD DOLLAR (trap 1) lines up with above-average claims and is likely to be solid in the market. With usual good fortune, he should oblige. Ballymac Zari (trap 6) will be better for track experience but may still be good enough to run close in this. Significant market activity often centres around Droopys Dialogue (trap 5) and he makes place appeal.

The consensus of opinion is that QUARTEIRA (trap 2) holds solid claims against these rivals and he does look the one they all have to beat. Having little knowledge of the track, Without Justice (trap 3) remains open to improvement and is a danger. Moustows Muttley (trap 6) is competent when berthed here so enters calculations.

CRAFTY SHIVOO (trap 1) looks set to go off a short-priced favourite against these and it'll be disappointing if she can't claim top honours. Queen Joni (trap 4) pocketed the winner's cheque recently, but may have to settle for place loot here. Trap five runners can boost tricast payouts and Allowdale Cazoo (trap 5) can do that.

COSS TOKYO (trap 5) could be the subject of unprecedented demand such is his chance in this line-up, where a clear run could be all that is needed. Lucky Sevens (trap 6) has a chance if getting the nominal good fortune required.

DRIVE ON LAD (trap 1) looks the part in this line-up and his backers are entitled to be brimming with confidence that he can be in control where it counts. Hopes Melody (trap 3) is expected to be in the heat of battle at the finish, so rates a leading contender. Droopys Auntie (trap 6) should be considered as she has a healthy record from this box position.

BLARNEY ROY (trap 4) is the obvious one and he should prevail with a degree of good fortune around the opening turns. Chelms Vickie (trap 1) should be up to keeping the judge on his toes and can provide the link for forecasts. Teejay Bojangles (trap 2) is fully entitled to get amongst them if the draw captures no prisoners.
