Richard Hannon could not work the oracle with this three-year-old filly but she has been snapped up by Dominic Ffrench Davis, who is enjoying a good season with his small team, and has been the subject of a market move, cut to 10-1 from as big as 25s. The Lambourn trainer has immediately stepped the daughter of Acclamation up to seven furlongs from six and booked Shane Kelly.

in today's sporting life............... Anita Chambers previews Sunday's action and heads to Uttoxeter for her best bet of the day. Nap: Cobra De Mai (3.50 Uttoxeter) 6 Cobra De Maip,t155 611-10OR: 138D 5/2 T: D SkeltonJ: Harry Skelton Form: 154122-Last Run Live betting powered by Next Best: Whatsthemessage (4.10 Hamilton) 2 5 Whatsthemessage8 49-9OR: 81CD SP T: K DalgleishJ: Non Runner Form: 434043Last Run Live betting powered by Cobra De Mai can get his campaign off to a perfect start with victory in the Moorland Contract Cleaning RA Bridgwater Memorial Handicap Chase at Uttoxeter. Dan Skelton's charge is one of the better runners on display on what is a relatively quiet Sunday, after signing off last term with a fair effort at Grade Two level. The six-year-old was one of just two finishers in the Future Champion Novices' Chase at Ayr in April, finding Bigmartre a length and three-quarters too good in what was not the strongest renewal of the race. That said, Cobra De Mai was at an 11lb disadvantage with the winner on the official ratings, so he certainly deserves a bit more credit than the bare result suggests. Cobra De Mai will be having his first start since then, and while a few of his rivals have the benefit of a recent run, he has gone well off a break in the past and looks to be a horse on the up. Skelton can also strike gold with Lady Maleficent in the Weekend Sentinel Novices' Handicap Hurdle. She ran a decent race on her hurdling bow and was duly sent off an odds-on favourite on her most recent start, but she failed to shine and was beaten 20 lengths in second at the line. A bit of cut in the ground looks like it would suit, so any rain would be in her favour. The Bay Birch has been a thoroughly consistent performer for Matt Sheppard and can keep up the good work in the Sentinel #localandproud Mares' Handicap Hurdle. Good enough to finish second in a Cheltenham Listed heat on her penultimate start, she was a winner at this track in May and should be nicely refreshed for this following a summer break. Bugsie Malone should not be ruled out of the Friends & Family Remembering Norman Sharpe Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton. He ran wide on the bend when beaten into second on his most recent start, but had previously showed plenty of determination to notch a front-running victory at Worcester. Bugsie Malone perhaps failed to give his very best last time, so can be offered another chance. Whatsthemessage has dropped 9lb in the ratings this year and could be back on a workable mark in the EBF Stallions Scottish Premier Series Fillies' Handicap at Hamilton. She ran well over this extended mile trip to finish third in a better event than this back in July and her recent third offers a little hope again. Sporting Life tips: HAMILTON: 2.00 Dyson's Girl, 2.30 Jack Blane, 3.05 Rosemay, 3.35 Jamil, 4.10 Whatsthemessage, 4.40 Traditional Dancer, 5.10 Flying Focus.

BANKER
Duck Egg Blue (4.10 Hamilton)
Lawrence Mullaney wins his fair share of races at Hamilton and this four-year-old filly looks set to enhance his record. Duck Egg Blue has won one race from six starts for connections since moving from Patrick Holmes, but she is yet to encounter soft ground this season, which could spark a fair bit of improvement. She scored on soft and heavy ground as a two-year-old for Kevin Prendergast and ran really well in wet conditions several times last year. You can discard her last effort when missing the break badly in much better company, and this is a much easier assignment.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Jamil (3.35 Hamilton, nap)
Roger Varian's colt ran into a decent prospect in the shape of Collide at Carlisle last time and faces nothing of that calibre here. The three-year-old should handle the ground and is fancied to defy a penalty.
Others to follow Hamilton 4.10 Harmonica, 5.10 Pentland Hills.
8/11 Jamil 3:35 Hamilton North: Colin Russell
Toboggan's Fire (4.20 Uttoxeter, nap)
Unexposed hurdler who won first time out at Musselburgh last season. Not so good on only subsequent start but has been off since and is fancied to go well on her handicap debut for her in-form yard.

11/4 Toboggan's Fire 4:20 Uttoxeter Lambourn: James Burn
Ilewin Geez (2.20 Plumpton, nap)
Has a penalty, but boasts some useful form and this venue is one of trainer Charlie Mann's go-to tracks.
Others to follow Hamilton 3.05 Can Can Sixty Two, 4.10 Pattie, 5.10 Soldier To Follow. Plumpton 2.55 Regulation, 3.25 Little Windmill, 5.35 Capsy De Mee. Uttoxeter 3.15 Spin A Yarn, 4.50 Monday Club.

Alastair Ralph is the top course trainer at Uttoxeter with five winners from 11 runners – a 45 per cent strike-rate. The Shropshire trainer is represented by six-year-old gelding Comber Mill in the 5.25.
Rebecca Bastiman and Daniel Tudhope have individual strike-rates of 15 and 21 per cent at Hamilton. That improves to 43 per cent when they combine, and they do so with Wensley in the 2.00 and Edgar Allan Poe in the 2.30.
Chris Gordon’s horses are worth following on their handicap debuts. The Hampshire trainer is three from 16 with such runners, a 19 per cent strike-rate, and backing all to a £1 level-stake returns a profit of £18.00. King Cnut fits the criteria in the 5.00 at Plumpton.

17:02 · September 22, 2018 · 2 min read A review of the rest of the action from Saturday's meeting at Newbury where Buzz struck for Hughie Morrison. Morrison has Buzz back Charlie Bennett timed his fractions to perfection to get Buzz up in the dying strides of the Dubai Duty Free Handicap. The mile-and-a-quarter prize looked to be heading the way of favourite Mountain Angel, who had been sent for home inside the final two furlongs by David Egan. But with the post looming the Hughie Morrison-trained four-year-old wore down the market leader, prevailing by a nose to gain his first victory on turf and add to his three achieved on the all-weather. Morrison said of the 9-1 winner: "He is hard work and all the credit goes to Matt who rides him and who was leading him up. He has his own way of doing things. He is not unmanageable, just impatient. "He got outpaced a couple of furlongs out, but out-galloped them at the end. We've been waiting for this ground all year. He might be one for the November Handicap, but we have about half a dozen for that at the moment. Given our luck this week - we've had six seconds - we deserved that."

Son Of Rest and Baron Bolt dead-heated in the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup on Saturday following a dramatic photo finish to Europe’s richest sprint handicap. The former was sent off 5/1 favourite following his second-place finish in a Group One in Ireland last weekend and he looked to have come with a winning run up the stands’ rail inside the final furlong. However, 28/1 chance Baron Bolt emerged from the chasing pack to mount a serious challenge and the pair were inseparable at the line.

16:12 · September 22, 2018 · 2 min read Kessaar (10/3) was an emphatic winner of the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes for John Gosden and Frankie Dettori. Winner of the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton last time, the son of Kodiac looked to be in trouble two furlongs out as True Mason (4/1) sauntered to the head of affairs. However Dettori was able to cover the move and was back in control at the furlong marker, his willing partner pullung two-and-three-quarter lengths clear of his only serious rival. 3/1 favourite Shine So Bright came through for third but was a further two-and-a-quarter lengths adrift. Gosden said: "I thought he rode a very good race. The second is a lovely horse, but this guy handled the ground. We were worried about the ground, but he did it well. If you hit the ridges wrong at Ripon you lose your rhythm and stride and the horse never got balanced (when sixth in Champion Two Yrs Old Trophy). "He has won a Group Three last time and a Group Two this time, so we will have to go to a Group One now, which is the next step, but it's a big step. The Criterium International could be next at Saint-Cloud. It use to be a mile, but they dropped it to seven, so we are all going to Paris."

A fall on the gallops has signalled the end of Mike Hammond's training career, with the former point-to-point rider saddling his last runner at Uttoxeter on Sunday.
Hammond, 51, has informed his owners about his decision to quit after he struggled to manage his small-scale Worcestershire operation following the injuries he sustained.
"I had a fall nine or ten weeks ago and it really brought it home to me that I'm the wrong side of 50," said Hammond. "I broke four transverse sections of my lumbar spine and two ribs and, although I'm fine now, the doctor said I need to be careful about coming off again.
"Because of the scale we operate on I need to ride out, but as I've been unable to it's probably best to move on and, in the words of my mother-in-law, get a proper job."
Hammond, whose highlight as a point-to-point rider came when winning the Lady Dudley Cup at Chaddesley Corbett, had a handful of runners under rules before starting training for Sylvia Tainton, for whom he sent out Elgar to win four times during the 2006-07 season.
He has notched ten winners over jumps and two on the Flat, with his most recent victory provided by Sevilla at Wolverhampton in April.
'Grateful for opportunities'
"We have eight horses and the owners will be looking for new homes for them," said Hammond, the father of conditional jockey Charlie.
"We've had some great times, as well as the disappointments every trainer experiences, and met some great people. I'm grateful for the opportunities the owners have been kind enough to let us have."
Hammond, who hopes to stay in racing in some capacity, will be looking to end on a high with Welsh Designe in the 2m handicap chase (5.25) at Uttoxeter.
"He's an outstanding jumper and the track will suit him, but he wouldn't want too much more rain," he said. "If it was good I'd be really hopeful he could back up his second at Worcester last time and go very close again.
"My son Charlie has deserted us – he's obligated to ride for Alastair Ralph – but we have the able assistance of James Bowen. We'll go and have one last crack at it and have a good day out."

Nobody wants to finish second, but there was only pride from connections of Take Cover after the evergreen sprinter bowed out, losing nothing in defeat to Mr Lupton in Newbury's Group 3 Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes on Saturday.
A winner of the race last year, Take Cover was only three-quarters of a length off the winner, and trainer David Griffiths joked a few long lunches might persuade owner-breeder Andrew Hollis to keep the 11-year-old in training, although that seems extremely unlikely.

in today's sporting life............... 11:33 · September 23, 2018 · 3 min read Nick Grant makes War Eagle his best Monday bet and has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland. Nap: 2.40 Kempton 8 8 War Eagle27 29-2OR: -BF 2/1 T: J H M GosdenJ: R L Moore Form: 52Last Run Live betting powered by Next best:3.10 Kempton 3 4 Flaming Marvel500 49-6OR: 77 7/1 T: J R FanshaweJ: George Wood Form: 23/3-Last Run Live betting powered by War Eagle can get off the mark at the third time of asking in the Matchbook/British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Kempton. The John Gosden-trained colt ran a nice race on his introduction at Newmarket in July, and was expected to go a few places better next time out at Epsom, where he was sent off at odds-on. Things did not go entirely to plan, though, as he found himself a little detached from the front two when not coming down the hill as well as he might. He looked green and ill at ease from there on the famous camber in the straight, and while he did make ground to be second, he was five lengths down on the winner. Back on a much more conventional track, it will be disappointing if does not show his true colours this time. Ryan Moore rides and he should hopefully already be on the scoresheet at the Sunbury venue through Finch Hatton, in the Better Odds With Matchbook Novice Auction Stakes that opens proceedings. The former champion could be in for a good day at the office, as he has plenty of other chances, including Radio Source for Jeremy Noseda in the ROA/Racing Post Owners' Jackpot Handicap. The James Fanshawe-trained Flaming Marvel has been off since May, but it would be no surprise to see him make his mark in the Matchbook Betting Podcast Handicap. This will be his first start in a handicap, but he has shown ability in his three maiden runs - including twice on the all-weather - and Fanshawe knows the time of day. Kick On Kick On looks the one to be with in the Racing UK Handicap at Leicester. Trained by Clive Cox, the Swiss Spirit colt won two of his four starts last season and there was lots of encouragement to take from his reappearance win at Windsor. A non runner at Goodwood in August due to the ground, he was not seen again until an outing at Wolverhampton at the beginning of this month, where he ran no sort of race. If he is over whatever was ailing him - he was reported to be coughing by the vet in his post-race examination - then he should be thereabouts. Global Hero has gone under the radar as one to watch in the juvenile department, but there was lots to like about his debut success and he should be very hard to beat in division one of the British Stallion Studs EBF Kegworth Novice Stakes. Karl Burke has enjoyed a memorable season and has another promising youngster in the shape of Constant who is back out in the Les Hoey MBE Dreammaker Foundation EBF Novice Stakes at Hamilton. The Dutch Art colt finished fifth on debut at this venue and went on to spring a 20-1 surprise at Yarmouth. In beating representatives from the John Gosden and Roger Varian yards - the third has come out and won since - he probably achieved a decent level of form and may defy the penalty. Formula One can get back to winning ways in the Granny Elizabeth Handicap at Newcastle.

17:20 · September 23, 2018 · 4 min read Ben Linfoot highlights four things to look out for in the racing world on Monday, including a well-handicapped horse looking for his first win in over 1,000 days. 1. Hamilton a Happy hunting ground for Balding 2 5 Happy Power34 29-8OR: -CD 11/10 T: A M BaldingJ: G Lee Form: 41Last Run Live betting powered by Hamilton Park would be low on the list of most visited tracks by trainer Andrew Balding, but he had a winner with his sole runner there on Sunday thanks to Soldier To Follow – a horse that took his course record to seven winners from 22 representatives at a very healthy strike-rate of 32 per cent. One of those victories was attained by 625,000gns purchase Happy Power, a grey Dark Angel colt that got off the mark for his career in good style the last time he visited Hamilton on August 21. The official going description that day was ‘Good’, but Graham Lee, who rode Happy Power, got off the winner and reported it to be ‘Soft’, just as the beaten jockeys did as well. A going change to ‘Good to Soft’ was made, but it sounds like it rode softer than that. That matters because Happy Power will bid to defy a penalty in the Les Hoey MBE Dreammaker Foundation EBF Novice Stakes at Hamilton on Monday, and with plenty of recent rain at the track it’s going be testing – and hard work, as well, carrying 6lb more than the majority of your rivals. Judging by his near three-length winner at Hamilton last time, though, he’s up to it. The runner-up, Triple Distilled, franked the form by winning at Carlisle subsequently, so Balding could well improve his already good numbers at the track. And we know Happy Power should handle the ground. 2. Crouch and Bin Suroor a team worth noting at Leicester 1 6 Global Hero18 29-8OR: - 11/8 T: S bin SuroorJ: Hector Crouch Form: 1Last Run Live betting powered by 12 1 Forest View108 38-11OR: - 3/1 T: S bin SuroorJ: Hector Crouch Form: 4Last Run Live betting powered by Hector Crouch had a wonderful weekend thanks to Snazzy Jazzy and his William Hill Ayr Silver Cup romp, but he might have a magical Monday as well when he links up with Saeed bin Suroor at Leicester. The duo have teamed up to great effect in 2018, linking up 20 times this year and recording eight victories together at an eye-popping strike-rate of 40 per cent. So it’s with great interest that this trainer and jockey combination team up with two runners at Leicester on Monday afternoon, starting with Global Hero in the British Stallion Studs EBF Kegworth Novice Stakes (2.20). This Dubawi colt made a good impression at Salisbury on debut 18 days ago, coming from off the gallop despite the lack of a strong pace to win by over a length from Chatham House, a horse having his third run. That gives hope he can defy a penalty and kick-off a Crouch/SBS double ahead of Forest View’s run in the Breeders Backing Racing EBF Novice Stakes at 4.20. This Teofilo filly hasn’t been seen for 108 days, since her debut at Haydock in June where she was beaten just over a length in fourth after racing keenly. Still, that’s a standout piece of form in this company, so she could well be another winner for this red-hot jockey and trainer combination. 3. Polybius – is today the day? 3 4 Polybius4 79-4OR: 89CD 11/4 T: D M SimcockJ: Andrea Atzeni Form: 665542Last Run Live betting powered by It’s 1,120 days since Polybius last got his head in front but is today, Monday September 24, the day he finally records his fifth career success? He runs in the Matchbook Casino Handicap at Kempton at 4.40 and plenty is in his favour as he arrives in great form and he’s clearly well handicapped. Rated 108 at his very best, he runs off 89 on Monday and he almost took advantage of that mark when running a neck second to Mazzini at Yarmouth last Thursday. The handicapper hasn’t had time to react, so he looks at least a few pounds well in on that Yamourth form, and he has won at Kempton before – off a 5lb higher mark. His fifth at Goodwood on August 24 was franked in some style on Saturday when Baron Bolt won the Ayr Gold Cup, Snazzy Jazzy won the Ayr Silver Cup and Boy In The Bar won at Chelmsford, three horses that finished around him that day in Sussex. Andrea Atzeni rides him for the first time and he has a good 20 per cent strike-rate for David Simcock, so the stars might just have aligned for Polybius, going for his first win for his ‘new’ yard at the 18th attempt. 4. Gosden sends just one to Newcastle alert 6 7 Turgenev10 29-2OR: - 8/13 T: J H M GosdenJ: L Dettori Form: 2Last Run Live betting powered by It’s easy to forget John Gosden’s scathing criticism of Newcastle’s Tapeta transformation considering just how much prizemoney he’s plundered from the track since the surface switch. A huge opponent of the turf ditching at the time, Gosden has since backtracked in style and is clearly a big fan now considering there isn’t a track in the country where he has a better strike-rate (where he’s had more than 20 runners, anyway). On the Newcastle all-weather surface Gosden has had 23 winners from 62 runners at 37 per cent and he sends just one horse to the track for Monday’s evening meeting – Turgenev in the Zencos Arcitectural/EBF British Stallions Studs Novice Stakes at 7.00. This son of Dubawi ran in a good maiden at Doncaster’s St Leger meeting on debut, finishing best of the newcomers in second behind Godolphin’s Royal Marine and in front of stablemate Buffalo River. If he kicks on from that he should be hard to beat, his entry in the Group One Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster perhaps an indication to the regard in which he is held.

Sir Michael Stoute is considering options at home and abroad for Expert Eye as he aims to secure his charge a first Group One success. The Acclamation colt looked every inch a top-class prospect after winning his first two starts as a juvenile, but was a major disappointment when odds-on for the Dewhurst at Newmarket last October. He was beaten by James Garfield on his Newbury return in the spring and finished down the field in 2000 Guineas, but bounced back to win the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. Expert Eye was runner-up in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, struck again at Group Three level at York last month before finishing third on his return to Group One company in the Prix du Moulin at ParisLongchamp. Stoute said: "I thought he was a bit unlucky in France and so did Ryan Moore. He could possibly go to the Prix de la Foret or the QEII at Ascot, and there is the Breeders' Cup Mile as well. I think the weather will decide where he goes. Good to soft would be acceptable, but he wouldn't want it any softer. He is in good shape and has come out of his last race well. " Expert Eye wins at York under Frankie Dettori Expert Eye wins at York under Frankie Dettori Crystal Ocean has enjoyed a fine campaign for the yard, completing a hat-trick in the Hardwicke Stakes at the Royal meeting before being narrowly denied by stablemate Poet's Word in the King George. He was no match for Enable in the September Stakes at Kempton on his most recent start, however, and connections are still considering whether to take on John Gosden's wonder-filly again in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe next month. Stoute added: "Enable is a machine and a freak, but he (Crystal Ocean) has been very solid all year. We've yet to decide if he goes to the Arc as I still need to talk to the owners."

15:18 · September 23, 2018 · 2 min read John Gosden is not ruling out a tilt at the Breeders' Cup Classic with Roaring Lion. He is with Sky Bet. Following previous triumphs in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown and the Juddmonte International at York, the Qatar Racing-owned three-year-old completed a Group One hat-trick when getting up to beat old rival Saxon Warrior in a thrilling Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown last weekend. The QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 20 remains his main target, but a trip to the Breeders' Cup remains in the melting pot and Gosden is open to the idea of running his charge on the dirt for the first time at Churchill Downs. Speaking at the Newmarket Open Weekend on Sunday, Gosden said: "I'm very happy with Roaring Lion and we are pointing towards the Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 20. He has got some constitution as he has been on the go since February and I've been impressed with how he has taken his racing. "The Breeders' Cup comes pretty sharply after Champions Day. If it was heavy he wouldn't run at Ascot, but if it was good to soft he would run as he has won on it before. "If he went to the Breeders' Cup, it could be the mile and a half on turf (Breeders' Cup Turf) or we could have a look at the Classic. He is a mile-and-a-quarter horse so you would consider the Classic as well as the turf. "The mile and a half around three bends is not that different to a stiff mile and a quarter uphill at Ascot. It is not like going a mile and a half around Ascot."

Charlie Fellowes is operating at an overall 14 per cent strike-rate which rises to 57 per cent, four from seven, when equipping a runner with a first-time tongue-tie. At Leicester, the Newmarket trainer fits the aid to Sibirica (4.50).
At Leicester, James Fanshawe and Daniel Muscutt have individual strike-rates of 13 and 21 per cent respectively, which improves to 43 per cent when they combine. They do so with Lilypad (4.20).

The Ralph Beckett-trained juvenile took a big step forward to finish third at Windsor on her second start, and the form of that race has already been boosted.
The winner, Dirty Rascal, won a Newbury nursery comfortably on Friday and the fourth, Astronaut, has shed his maiden tag at Sandown.
Wild Abandon may not need to take another step forward to win this race over six furlongs, but if she does she will be hard to beat.
5/4 Wild Abandon 6:30 Newcastle (AW) Lethal Power 6.45 Fairyhouse
This three-year-old son of Acclamation has been progressive this season and picked up three victories, most recently at Gowran Park this month.
That win came off the back of a more than respectable sixth in the Irish Cambridgeshire and, having been raised just 3lb for his latest success, it is quite feasible there is more to come.
