Race of the Day Preview / Timeform / 14 October 2009 / Leave a comment

Not a lot separating some of these, but American World probably has more improvement in him and he's taken to account for Digital Media and Denny Mac.

"American World shaped with encouragement several times over fences prior to scoring in a weak handicap at Huntingdon in April. He is a strong-travelling sort who may do better still in this sphere."

Denny Mac is yet to win but ran his best race when refitted with a tongue tie and was runner-up at Fontwell last time, despite a bad mistake six out. He has cheekpieces on now.

Kings Brook was successful off a much higher mark at Stratford in October 2007. He was quirky even then, and goes like a horse with problems now. Today's tongue tie far from certain to fix matters.

Northern Quest put in his best round of jumping for a while when winning a handicap chase at Bangor in July. He has struggled off marks in the 100s in the past, though, and is unlikely to be following up.

American World shaped with encouragement several times over fences prior to scoring in a weak handicap at Huntingdon in April. He is a strong-travelling sort who may do better still in this sphere.

Silver Steel is not a fluent jumper but usually gives his running and notched up a second win of the year in a handicap at Kelso last time. Penalty makes life tougher here.

Red Jester is more consistent than previously this summer and has good win-to-run ratio in the last year or so, scoring four times. He seems sure to give his running once more.

Digital Media is now on his third different trainer of 2009, and this one could well find the key to him, as he's shown he's capable of winning over fences and shaped well for Simon Burrough when last seen.

Incorporation's last success came over course and distance in May 2008, but he's looking more and more of an unreliable betting proposition with time and is now on his third different trainer in four starts.
