2.05 – Regal Renaissance

Regal Renaissance has been very consistent since switching to Jack Jones’s yard. She’s run a couple of really good races for him and has been placed a couple of times now.

She has probably reached the top of her handicap a little bit, though, so I’m not sure she’s necessarily on the right side of the handicap at the moment. That said, it’s a very valuable race worth £50,000, and she should give her running again.

Hopefully she can put in another good performance and run her race, and we’ll see where that takes us.

2.40 – Road To Wembley

I’m really looking forward to riding Road To Wembley. He’s taken to hurdling very, very well and seems to really enjoy his jumping.

He won over course and distance last time, which is obviously a big positive, and hopefully that experience around Worcester will stand him in good stead again.

It’s another valuable race, being a £125,000 race, so it’s one you’d obviously like to win. It looks competitive all the way through, but he should be competitive as well and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on.

3.50 – Secret Trix

Secret Trix is another horse whose handicap mark hasn’t really done him any favours, to be honest. He’s at the top of his handicap and has been struggling to win, and obviously he’s not getting any younger either.

He had generally been consistent until his last run, but perhaps Bangor just wasn’t his track. It’s a sharp track there, whereas Worcester is more of a galloping track, so hopefully a return to a track like this can see him put his best foot forward.

He’ll need to improve on what his handicap mark is telling us, though, and while he’s capable of running a good race, his best might just see him finish in the places again
