JIM CROWLEY is at Lingfield for just one ride on Wednesday - on RABAAH (1.45) - and the hint should be taken.
Charlie Hills’ three-year-old showed potential on his racecourse debut when he finished third, while being tenderly handled, over six furlongs at Leicester in May.
The winner, Show Respect, is now rated 105, having finished second to Persian Force in a Group 2 contest at Newmarket.
And the third, Catch The Paddy, won his next two starts.
My selection will be unlikely to meet anyone with the calibre of his victors in today’s BetUK’s Acca Free Bet Novice Stakes and he can take this six-furlong Class 5 race en route to bigger things for the powerful Shadwell operation.
At Kempton, SIMPLY SIN (5.30) improved significantly when upped to one mile and three furlongs over course and distance last month and he can go in again, despite an 8lb rise.
The seven-year-old, trained by Neil Mulholland, stayed on strongly inside the final furlong to readily beat Ciao Adios by four lengths.
Fifth home, Tinchoo, franked the form by subsequently landing a Classified Stakes over the course and distance last week.
A similar display from Simply Sin should see him take the Dave O’Neill Ballot Champion Race Handicap.
