With the flat season now well underway and The Craven Meeting fast approaching there really is no better time to join/re-join – following yet another incredible winner on the service on Tuesday at 5/1 down at Southwell I’m looking forward to another productive season with the service having already recoded a two-year old winner earlier in the week as well.

Below I’ve included three horses from the past week or so that are well worth putting in your trackers. All three are expected to progress over the coming weeks:

SO SASSY (James Fanshawe) – So Sassy was a beaten odds-on favourite on her reappearance and handicap debut but she shaped well in third and is one to keep in mind. So Sassy was a step slow into stride and raced off the pace, but she kept on well in the straight without ever being able to get into a challenging position. The way she kept on suggests she’ll stay an extra furlong and she remains with some untapped potential after only four starts and just one in handicap company. It’s worth noting that her dam, If So, progressed well with age and developed into a useful handicapper as a four-year-old.

NATIVE WARRIOR (Karl Burke) – A Lincoln that didn’t prove as competitive as it looked beforehand, several of the fancied runners closer to the pace than ideal in a race run into a headwind, whilst there was plenty of trouble in running, too. One horse who did shape better than the bare result was the Karl Burke-trained Native Warrior, who was given a contrasting ride to the principals, close up and sent for home around two furlongs out but headed in the final furlong. He made his effort earlier than ideal in a race where it paid to be ridden more patiently and it is worth remembering he had some strong form last season, notably when finishing first home in his group in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Native Warrior has the potential to climb higher still this time around, so is very much one to be interested in.

STRESSFREE (David O’Meara) – There were no shortage of interesting handicappers in this field and it’s most likely form to note even if there were clearly differing stages of readiness among them. The well-backed Stressfree had won over hurdles in February, so had match fitness on his side, and even though he finished two places worse than in this race 12 months ago, he very much caught the eye. He was denied a run on more than one occasion, finishing with running left at the line having not enjoyed the rub of the green. He’s definitely a handicapper to keep on the right side and the upcoming big meetings at Chester and York are interesting options considering he’s excelled at both tracks in the past.
