EQUALLY FAST can gain his revenge on last Saturday’s conqueror Flip Mode to land the Chepstow Plant International Yangtse Kiang Handicap (3.45) at the Monmouthshire track.
A short head separated the pair when they met over course and distance six days ago, with Flip Mode getting up to shade the verdict in the shadow of the post.
The winner’s penalty means that the runner-up has a 5lb pull, however, and that can help Ron Harris’s nine-year-old to gain his revenge.
The hat-trick beckons for THE WHIPMASTER in the Sandown Park Supporting #Racingwithpride Handicap (2.10) at the Esher course.
The Gary Moore-trained son of Mastercraftsman has won both his starts in 2020, starting with a head margin in a handicap at Brighton in April.
Moore’s son Ryan took over from 7lb claimer Aidan Keeley for a similar event at Windsor last month, and The Whipmaster took another step forward with a half-length margin over Legendary Day.
Moore jnr is on board again, and a 7lb rise on the part of the BHA assessor looks within range for a horse who should have no problem stepping back from a mile to a stiff seven furlongs.
