Fakenham Racing Tips

Best bets:

nap- 15.45: BUSKER ROYAL
e/w- 16.20: CHALICE WELCOME

14.00
This opening event reverted to type last year as five-year-old North Walk became the fourth vintage winner in the last five years. The pick of the quartet of five-year-olds on this occasion should prove to be PETROGLYPH and PENNYROCK, whilst ROYALTEA and DIRECTOR'S CHAIR complete my mix against the field.

14.35
The world and his dog are aware that COOL ROXY (winner of this race on each of the last two occasions) is the old kid on the block here as the Environment Friend gelding has gained no less than eleven of his twelve successes at this venue. Only cynical racegoers will back against Chris Honour's mount though if the twelve-year-old is to be beaten, SPROSSER in the likeliest suspect on these terms.

15.10
Trainers are baffling yours truly again as this contest has been won by five and six-year-olds for the last seven years, yet only the moderate Renege The Joker represents the two vintages on this occasion. Upwards and onwards in positive mode however by suggesting that SHUT THE BAR (perish the thought) and BAILY STORM should fight out the finish.

15.45
All three favourites have been beaten to date via two renewals which attracted a total of nine runners. That said, two 5/2 shots have scored to date whereby the bookmakers have not had things all their own way. Nicky Henderson saddled a popular winner the other day as one of my favourite trainers returned from his well documented exile and BUSKER ROYAL should go close to winning. Barry Geraghty takes the ride, just as the Irish pilot did last year when the selection scored on his seasonal debut in a better race than this at Ascot. ELEAZAR is a worthy opponent and no mistake.

16:20
Six-year-olds have won four of the last six renewals yet just one vintage representative has been declared, namely CHALICE WELCOME. Alex Merriam's mount also qualifies via the weight stats as eight of the last nine gold medallists carried 11-3 or less, whereby SAGARICH and SIR QUIGLEY are offered up as speculative types to include in toteplacepot wagers.

16.50
Whichever way you look at this disappointuing event, the contender are horses that flatter to deceive on a regular basis and I can only offer the tentative trio of CHAPEL FLOWERS. TOI EXPRESS and FEELING PECKISH against the field.
