Daily Racing Multiple: Back two exciting handicappers for HQ double

Don't give up on New London for handicap debut

Back New London @ 3.55/2 in the 13:50 at Newmarket

Emily Dickinson almost got there yesterday in the feature Group 3, and she was extremely well-backed from 16/1 into nearly 11/2 on the off. Nothing at double figures for the multiple today, but the action is of high quality once again at Newmarket.

New London can continue the good meeting for Charlie Appleby following his double yesterday, and the one-time Derby hope drops back in class into handicap company from the Chester Vase last time.

The trip shouldn't have been a problem for him there, and the soft ground shouldn't have been either, as he landed his debut on easy ground and is German-bred too. While there was no disgrace in finishing second there, he didn't look happy on the track and there's still a touch of the immatures about him.

A nice break since then will help, as he's a typical strong Dubawi, and with that, maybe will take a bit more time.

He looked impressive in easily beating Aldous Huxley over 1m2f at HQ on his second outing, and the mark of 99 looks far too good to turn down for a horse who at one stage held a Dante entry. Mind you - he wouldn't have won that!

William Buick is the top jockey on the July course this term too, with a 5-19 record at 26%.

Candleford can take the next step to bigger things

Back Candleford @ 4.03/1 in the 15:00 at Newmarket

It's mighty hard to get away from the William Haggas-trained Candleford at Newmarket on Friday, and while he faces a big field of 15 rivals going up in trip, he was so impressive last time at Royal Ascot, he gets the verdict for the second leg.

The pace was even for his romp by 6L in the Duke Of Edinburgh over 1m4f, and the way he picked up in powerful fashion - I don't see the new trip of 1m6f a problem.

Indeed, he beat strong stayer Coltrane at Kempton over the winter easily, with Coltrane subsequently winning the Ascot Stakes and a 2m Listed event at Salisbury by double-digits.

Quick ground is what he loves, and Haggas potentially could have an Ebor or Melbourne Cup on his hands. The potential Melbourne horse Hamada won this in 2018 for Charlie Appleby by 7L before winning a Group 3 - and he could have been top drawer but sadly was fatally injured in his 4yo season.

Candleford fits the right profile and is clearly a very exciting horse.
