AXEL JACKLIN can continue a profitable start to 2022 with a victory in the Play 4 To Win At Betway Handicap (5.30) at Wolverhampton.
Chelsea Banham’s six-year-old began the year with a head second to Burtonwood over Dunstall Park’s seven furlongs on January 5.
And he went one better dropped to six furlongs at Wolverhampton 17 days later, making all the running under Joey Haynes to beat Indian Affair by a length and a half.
The British Horseracing Authority handicapper hasn’t gone overboard, putting my selection up 3lb to a new rating of 52.
There shouldn’t be too much competition for the lead here and Axel Jacklin, who was winning from a higher mark from this at the start of 2021, should give another good account of himself.
