Newsboy’s horseracing tips for Wednesday’s five meetings, including Kempton Nap
BULLDOG DRUMMOND (5.30, nap) can solve the puzzle of Kempton's Unibet Horserace Betting Operator Of The Year Nursery on Wednesday.
After three runs in maiden company over five-and-a-half furlongs and six furlongs – the latest a third to Propitious at Redcar – the George Boughey-trained two-year-old looks primed for a big run as he is moved significantly up in trip to a mile for his handicap debut.
At Redcar, under Oliver Stammers, the son of Aclaim started to make headway three furlongs out and kept on well to go second a furlong from home.
The extra two furlongs at Kempton can only be beneficial to him. And the booking of champion jockey William Buick shows the stable have full confidence he will show his true colours.
At Bath, GALACTIC GLOW (1.10, nb) is expected to shine in the opening Bresbet Rewards Loyalty Apprentice Handicap.
The six-year-old, trained by Joe Tickle, is proven on the track, having won over the course and distance three times.
Last time out, my selection showed his well-being by running second of 13 to one of today's rivals Barney's Angel in a mile-and-a-quarter handicap at Windsor nine days ago. But Barney's Angel has been hit with a 5lb penalty for that victory and Galactic Glow can turn the tables.
