OBJECT and the prolific Benoît de la Sayette are the pairing to follow in the Russell Publishing 30 th Anniversary (6.40) at Lingfield.
Since making his return from the drugs ban that threatened to derail his promising career, John Gosden’s stable apprentice hasn’t stopped booting home the winners. So it’s of note that Martyn Meade has booked the 19-year-old starlet to partner Aclaim’s son as he seeks a second win from two attempts on the all-weather.
Object, who showed the right attitude to lift a six-furlong handicap at Kempton Park last November, beat just one home when making his return to action at Newmarket’s Craven meeting last month. My selection was too free for his own good that day but a drop in class and a return to Polytrack should do the track.
At Bath, PERSUASIVE POWERS gets the vote to take a step forward from her course-and-distance reappearance 13 days ago to lift the Download The At The Races App Fillies’ Handicap (3.20). The Eve Johnson Houghton trainee was too exuberant for her own good before fading into fourth behind Sisterandbrother, but Persuasive Powers is still lightly raced and is bred to be better than her current British Horseracing Authority rating of 65.
