SAVVY VICTORY is the smart choice in the British Stallion Studs EBF 'High-Rise' Maiden Stakes (3.50) at Pontefract.
Tom Marquand's mount has hinted at his winning potential in several races to date. On his second career start last September, the son of New Bay belied his huge starting price to finish a half-length second at Doncaster. The well-regarded third, Frantastic, came out and won his next start cosily in the Derby-winning colours of Anthony Oppenheimer.
Savvy Victory holds an entry in the Epsom Classic himself, which shows the regard connections hold him in. He bumped into potentially smart Antarah last time at Newcastle, before his winter break. Experience of different surfaces, plus a winner for trainer Sean Woods from just six runners in the past fortnight, are other positives.
Sean Lycett's STATELY HOME can make a successful return to turf in the Racing Again On Monday 11th April Handicap (4.25). Fit from a couple of runs this term, he has form with cut in the ground in Ireland. Close-up in his last two starts at Kempton, the five-year-old's mark is unchanged – and still 2lb lower than when he was last in the winners' enclosure.
