"Adam Kirby will star in the saddle and will be doing his best to land this positive mover on the exchanges."
Back Hasopop @ 7.613/2 in Newbury 15:05
We start with the negative selection which runs in the 14:10 at Ayr. Walkabout Creek has drifted from 3.02/1 out to 4.57/2. Although this six year-old has been victorious on its last two efforts he has been hit with a 9 lbs weight rise this time around. He is also unraced at over 2m4f so the trip is very much an unknown. Although the heavy ground will suit the lack of market confidence suggests that Tom Scudamore will do well to guide his mount to victory.
In the 14:30 Conditions race at Newbury Ed Dunlop's Contributer has been backed in from 4.84/1 to 3.55/2 and now leads the market. Connections have high hopes for this 3-yo colt who has entry into the Dante later on this season. He looked promising on soft ground during his debut at Newmarket and then won on the ploy-track at Wolves in the autumn while his breeding suggests a successful step up in trip this year. Ryan Moore has been booked and will be expecting to continue his impressive start to the season.
Hasopop runs in the 15:05 at Newbury and has been backed in from 9.417/2 to 7.613/2. After a season of punching above his weight among pattern company last season connections seem to have lowered his sights this year. Was 5th in a Listed race last month when he didn't get the smoothest of runs and is expected to improve markedly today. Adam Kirby will star in the saddle and will be doing his best to land this positive mover on the exchanges.
