JUAN LES PINS is fancied to rack up a hat-trick of victories by beating six rivals for the Visit racingtv.com Handicap (3.10) at Nottingham.
The son of Invincible Spirit ended a losing streak stretching back to October 2020 when landing a claimer at Redcar last month, after which he left Ed Walker for Mick Appleby. And the five-year-old got off to the perfect start for his new stable with a two-and-a-half-length margin from Vape at Newbury eight days ago.
The handicapper has stepped in with a 7lb rise in the weights to a new mark of 79, but Juan Les Pins has scored off higher in the past and still has more to offer in Appleby’s care.
At Hamilton Park, SNAZZY JAZZY makes plenty of appeal in the G4 Claims Not At Fault Claims Made Easy Scottish Stewards’ Cup (7.17). A neck margin over course and distance two outings ago marked a return to winning form for the Lawrence Mullaney-saddled son of Red Jazz, a Group 3 winner during his time with Clive Cox.
Snazzy Jazzy wasn’t beaten far in seventh behind Inver Park in Royal Ascot ’s Buckingham Palace Handicap on his most recent start and remains on an attractive mark.
Half an hour later, WEST WIND BLOWS is tipped to defeat Nahanni in the Listed British Stallions Studs EBF Glasgow Stakes (7.47). His rival finished a couple of places ahead in the Derby at Epsom, but the selection is less exposed and made all at Nottingham, so the small field should suit.
