TREVITHICK (5.25) may have been priced-up over-generously in the mile Median Auction Stakes at Beverley.
Bryan Smart’s colt was fancied to follow up his Newcastle success on a return visit to the track but had the misfortune to run up against a very classy sort in Without Parole. John Gosden’s 2000 Guineas and Dante Stakes entry made mincemeat of his rivals at Yarmouth on Tuesday, so Trevithick lost little in defeat. An 81-rated horse was back in third in that Newcastle Novice Stakes, so the form looks very solid.
There are a couple of promising southern raiders which helps bolster the market and despite conceding weight all round, Trevithick will be hard to knock out of the frame.
LANCELOT DU LAC (7.35) can usually be relied upon to put hid best foot forward and Dean Ivory’s gelding should make his presence felt in the 6f Conditions Stakes at Chelmsford City.
He was a significant market drifter at Doncaster last time when only fourth to speedy Perfect Pasture, rather floundering in the mud when coming under pressure. Lancelot Du Lac has no problem with this surface, being a dual course winner over five furlongs.
LACAN (9.05) also knows his way around these Essex turns and holds Samphire Coast, but only narrowly, on his narrow course victory in March.
He is best arriving late off a strong pace and he might get that here from Glory Awaits, fourth from the front in a slightly better handicap at Newmarket last week. Glory Awaits was only seventh behind Lacan and Samphire Coast in March, so has a bit to find.
Recommended bets
- Beverley 5.25 – Trevithick (100-30, Coral)
- Chelmsford City 7.35 – Lancelot Du Lac (9-4, McBookie, Ladbrokes, Coral))
- Chelmsford City 9.05 – Lacan (7-2, bet365, Betbright)

Thanks in advance
Punchestown day 3
3.40 APPARITION 14/1 EW 1/5th 5 places
Won last Nov. on yielding beating Mitchouka a nose then followed that up with a credible 3rd beaten 5 1/2L by Espoir D’allen so the form is there but probably doesn’t have the scope of those 2.
Willing to forgive his last hurdle run on bottomless ground but ran much better after a couple of months rest on the flat at Dundalk over 12f.
Lurking at the bottom of the weights and the booking of Noel Fehily also catches the eye I think he represents excellent ew value
4.15 THREE STARS 10/1 EW 1/4 odds 5 places
Form well and truly boosted by Patrick’s Park today
5.30 IDENTITY THIEF 6/1 EW
Based on last year’s festival Penhill could be vulnerable and IT ran a really well to win at Aintree
6.05 GLENLOE 6/1 EW
Another who’s form was boosted today
6.40 CASTLEGRACE PADDY 3/1 W/O
Has taken really well to fences and was impressive winning a listed race lto. Will be fresher than most
7.15 GLENS HARMONY 7/2 NAP
Hasn’t run since Oct but that shouldn’t be a problem and should be another winner for WM
