Newsboy fancies his nap, Daaris, to win at Wolverhampton and also hopes Brinton can score on the same card and complete his Daily Double
DAARIS is fancied to follow up his last-time-out course-and-distance success by beating seven rivals for the £30 In Free Bets With BetUK Handicap (7.30) at Wolverhampton on Monday evening. The six-year-old son of Dawn Approach has been a model of consistency on the all-weather, scoring twice and making the frame 13 times from 19 attempts. And he put up a personal best over Dunstall Park’s mile and six furlongs nine days ago with a beating of the in-form Mamdoh.
Sent off at 4-1 in a field of nine for an apprentice handicap, Daaris and Mason Paetel came to challenge at the top of the straight and motored home for a two-length win. Given the authority of my selection’s victory, a 3lb rise in the weights looks fair and another good account looks on the cards.
A step back in distance may do the trick for BRINTON in the concluding Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Classified Stakes (Div II) (8.30). Jonathan Portman’s daughter of Zoustar has been in good form in this grade in 2025 but was below par over a mile and a quarter at Lingfield last Monday, fading through the final furlong behind Ormer Gatherer.
Coming back to this extended mile may help.
