Hove Race Fields - 10th May 2024

CHELMS FRANKIE (trap 6) should be seen in with a chance of winning and he can be fancied to have the deal sealed before turning for home. Sporting Pegasus (trap 2) is well worth a second look and is expected to be in the mix when it matters. Slippy Edelle (trap 3) is often one of the focal points in the market and can be shortlisted.

CANDOLIM OASIS (trap 1) looks the part in this line-up and her backers are entitled to be brimming with confidence that she can be in control where it counts. Footfield Ruby (trap 3) will try and ensure this is run at a generous pace and would then rate a threat. Baffled (trap 2) could continue to progress following his recent win.

SHARP STAR (trap 6) has some bragging rights after his recent success and may be in a position to give out to these rivals too. There was plenty to like about the recent success of Market Group (trap 2), who is a serious player. Kerrs Lunch (trap 3) will go for broke early and isn't without hope of making the frame.

The bookie chaps are likely to be in the red if GERT MAJESTY (trap 3) obliges as he should prove popular for this contest and it's fairly obvious to see why. Kilanders (trap 5) did the business recently and could do so again if the selection messes things up. Punter-power has been squashing the odds on Natural World (trap 4) and she is a runner.

WISEACRE RANCH (trap 3) looks set to go off a short-priced favourite against these and it'll be disappointing if she can't claim top honours. Diegos Manna (trap 2) can be expected to give a good account and he could be hunting up the tip late on. Prestige Diamond (trap 6) is highly respected on the back of his recent win.

With good reason the shrewd judges will be sniffing around DARBYS GEM (trap 2) as she seems to hold an ability superiority over the rest of the field. Smooth As Satin (trap 1) has the ability to give these the runaround so is afforded serious respect. Finnside Corna (trap 4) is turned around fairly quickly after her latest appearance.

MELBURY CURLY (trap 4) banked a first prize recently and he has serious chances again as this doesn't look a great deal tougher. Tullamore Prince (trap 6) has a shout timewise and should certainly be amongst the medals. Rapido Ali (trap 2) has the ability to be an active player when it matters.

OPTIC RAMBO (trap 5) looks the one to be on in this field. Although he may come under pressure early from a couple of these, he can dig deep at the finish. The fan club of Rias Twinkle (trap 6) oozes members and she has a big shout at pulling this out of the fire. It could be wise to include Da Milk Man (trap 3) as he may ultimately be overpriced.

It should be full steam ahead for PUNK ROCK IVY (trap 3) as she is definitely clutching the ticket to ride against opposition that could quickly find themselves derailed. If Sleepy Jane (trap 6) is instantly in the driving seat, things could become very interesting. Sporting Bafta (trap 2) is pacey enough to make the frame if avoiding mistakes at trap-rise.

The initial spurt of speed should stand PUNK ROCK CHEWY (trap 5) in good stead in this company and there's a realistic chance he can go all the way. Insane Piper (trap 6) is expected to be in the heat of battle at the finish, so rates a leading contender. Im Justa Bigboy (trap 4) is often in demand in the market and won't be friendless here either.

The prospects of OIOIDURRANTDREAM (trap 2) look sky high against these and she can put these rivals in the shade if things go according to plan. Clairkeith Rayna (trap 6) can show sizzling early speed and would rate the chief threat with a ping break. Jesse Gee James (trap 4) is turned around quickly after his latest race and has a chance.

It's easy to be taken by USETHEFORCE LUKE (trap 2) in this field and he gets the vote for sure. With a decent start, he should soon be in a winning position. Antigua Shore (trap 5) can edge round in front and make a real buckle of it. Punters swarm round Kate Almighty (trap 1) like bees around honey, but they may come unstuck.
