RACE  SELECTION  REASON 

Race 1 

Read Meg Nicholls' Blog at BETMGM.co.uk Nursery Handicap 

 

Emma's Letter 

  

Looked in need of the debut but impressive since with two runners up finishes in a row 

Followed up last time at Newcastle in a novice event staying on well to the line 

Blinkers have made an impact and retained  

Race 2 

Bet £10 get £40 with BETMGM EBF Maiden Stakes 

  

  

 

Tewkesbury 

 

Nicely bred son of Ghaiyyath with half-brother Telemark scoring on the dirt in Dubai last week 

Keen on debut suggesting improvement likely  

Solid fourth after encountering issues in the run 

Race 3 

Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap 

  

 

Crackergee 

 

From a family that has served connections well and shaped with promise on a handful of starts to date 

Remains a maiden but gives the impression this step up in trip should suit  

Race 4 

Best Odds Guaranteed at BETMGM EBF Novice Stakes 

  

  

 

Yes Walim 

 

Stable have had a fine season with their two-year-olds and this gelding offered hope on AW debut at Southwell in July 

Been off the track since and gelded in that time 

Will be more streetwise on this occasion  

Race 5 

Midnite: Built For 2025 Not 2005 Handicap  

  

 

Papa Cocktail 

 

Hasn't missed the frame on the last seven starts which include wins at Doncaster and over course and distance 

Hasn't looked poorly handicapped on the last two starts and therefore interest is retained 

Race 6 

Join The Midnite Movement Handicap (Div I) 

  

  

  

Sioux Warrior 

 

Has been kept busy this year since joining Adrian Wintle and finally got off the mark in May at Brighton 

Two solid performances over course and distance in this grade in October offer hope that he can add to that sole success
