SHARPCLIFF (7.20, nap) can win the Racing With Pride Handicap at Chelmsford this evening over a mile and a quarter despite a 4lb rise in the weights.
The John Mackie-trained gelding is aiming for a fourth win in a row, having won over course and distance on his seasonal debut last month.
On that occasion the five-year-old got up to beat Figures a neck, even though he was denied clear run when travelling well a furlong out.
Had he had a smoother passage he would have won by a lot further that day and while this is a step up in class David Probert's mount looks to have plenty more to give. Peter the Great is the obvious danger.
SIR OLIVER (6.45, nb) won five races last year over both six and seven furlongs and has since been upped in grade.
On his last run 24 days ago the five-year-old only just failed by a head to catch Dubai Hope over the same Essex course and seven furlong trip.
Ridden by Silvestre De Sousa, Chris Dwyer’s charge can repel the late challenge of Jamie Spencer on Natural Path to win the Ladies Day Featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor Handicap.
