The Daily Star’s chief tipster Jason Heavey reckons Rossa Ryan can have a field day at Wolverhampton’s Friday Night Live meeting
DRAGON LEADER (8.00, nap) can fly home in the SSBK Betting Podcast Handicap – live on ITV4 – under top jock Rossa Ryan.
Following a successful juvenile campaign, culminating with a Listed success at Redcar, the five-year-old failed to fire the following year, and was only seen once last term finishing down the field in a Newbury handicap.
And that was it for 10 months until making a promising comeback over six furlongs with Ryan doing the steering at Wolverhampton 13 days ago. Short of room a furlong out he ran on well to finish a never-nearer sixth.
Clive Cox has stepped the son of El Keiber up in trip and down in grade which should suit him well under the same pilot, who has a number of potential winning rides tonight.
In the feature on the nine-race Dunstall Park card, ADVANCING (7.00, trb) can take another leap forward to score in the SBK: Dont Settle For Less Handicap over a mile and half a furlong.
The four-year-old landed a gamble when scoring well over course and distance on his Marco Botti stable debut in December and delivered a fine turn of foot under Hollie Doyle, who rides the gelding again tonight, to win over a mile at Kempton 16 days ago.
Ryan can open his account in the first race on ITV4 on Alan King-trained ONE COOL DREAMER (5.30), who showed a return to form when chinned a neck by Word Of Mouth over 1m6f at this track last month.
He reverts to 1m4f in the SBK: Betting Without The Bull Handicap.
David Evans has booked Ryan to ride MOBY QUICK (6.00) in the first division of the Friday Night Live With SBK Handicap, and also EAGLE DAY (6.30) in the second division.
Oisin Orr can get on the scoresheet in the Bet Responsibly With SBK Handicap on course and distance winner JEZ BOMB (7.30), while namesake Oisin Murphy can close the show with success on SERAPHIM ANGEL (8.30) on his stable debut for Ollie Sangster.
At Musselburgh, QUEEN ROSLYN (3.55, nb) can defy a 7lb penalty following her impressive three-length score at Carlisle 12 days ago.
