Newbury

Today, May 17, 2025FlatClass 21m2fGood Firm

Always a strong 3-y-o handicap. CIRCUS OF ROME shaped well in what was likely a good handicap at Sandown last month and might be worth chancing with the Richard Hughes team continuing in form. The Charlton stable has a good record in this race so Wave Rider has to be interest now moving into his first handicap on the back of 3 promising runs in novices over shorter trips. Asmen Warrior is another who has built a solid platform for handicaps and completes the shortlist.

    Verdict
    All 3 starts over 7f, finding the line coming just too soon in Wolverhampton novice on reappearance. Takes a big step up in trip here but he is sure to stay further and the yard's good record in this makes him a must for the shortlist. Hooded first time.

The third gave the form a boost when winning last weekend and he looks capable of better too.

    Kameko gelding has shown much improved form stepped up in trip/fitted with a tongue tie, showing a good attitude to land a handicap over this trip at Newmarket (good to firm) 13 days ago. Should remain very competitive after a 4 lb rise.
