One of four Tony Carroll runners is fancied by the Daily Star Chief Tipster to win the 8.30 at Wolverhampton and he also expects a Jonjo and AJ O’Neill former pointer to score again at Wetherby
GO with the flow and follow RIVER WHARFE (8.30, trb) at Wolverhampton tonight.
Tony Carroll trains the eight-year-old, one of four contenders from the stable in the Win 250,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Handicap over an extended mile.
The two-time course and distance winner bounced back to form at Southwell six days ago when scoring by an easy length and three-quarters in an apprentice handicap over 7f when ridden by Myla Coppins, who is on board again this evening.
Crucially, he escapes a penalty as he steps back up in distance.
At Exeter, SPECIAL JOHN (2.20, nb) had three silver medals on the trot in handicap hurdles last term before winning over the course when switching to fences on his debut for the Sam Thomas yard last November.
He followed up at Wincanton before putting in a fine effort when fifth at Windsor last time over an extended 3m4f.
Now back over hurdles, and with the addition of first-time cheekpieces, the seven-year-old ticks plenty of boxes in the Oddschecker Handicap Hurdle.
The Jonjo and AJ O’Neill yard are going great guns at the moment and can score a Wetherby double, with CAWTHORNE BANKER (3.12) in the Best Ticket Prices Online At wetherbyracing.co.uk Handicap Hurdle and lightly raced point winner HAWTHORN STREET (4.22, nap) in the three-mile racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle.
The latter paid back some of his £155,000 price tag on his second outing when beating Solid Performer by three-quarters of a length at Catterick three weeks ago.
Back at Wolverhampton, novice winner DARK ANGEL STAR (7.30) is well drawn in the Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap over five furlongs.
