3.40 Nottingham – GREAT CHIEFTAIN (1pt win – 7/1 bet365 William Hill, 888Sport, 13/2 generally)
It paid to race handily in the 1m Epsom handicap won by Portsmouth on April 23rd and GREAT CHIEFTAIN caught the eye in finishing a 12-1 fifth of 11 from a midfield sit in first-time blinkers. The Paul & Oliver Cole-trained three-year-old fared second best of those to come from midfield or further back, finishing just behind Mr Baloo who was best of the closers. Mr Baloo won at 7-1 on his next start and the patiently-ridden seventh, outsider-of-the-field Whathappensinvegas (40-1), caused a 25-1 upset at Newmarket last Saturday. The Cole yard does well when taking blinkers off a runner who wore them for the first time on their latest outing (22 from 132 this century, 16.7%, +£71.12 to a £1 level stake at SP). The cheekpieces go on today and he’s worth a punt.
4.40 – Nottingham – LADY BANCROFT (1pt ew – 22/1 888Sport, Paddy Power, 20-1 generally)
Ralph Beckett has a cracking record with his runners in first-time blinkers, scoring with 30 of the 156 qualifiers since the beginning of 2016 (19.2%) for a profit of £89.60 to a £1 level stake at SP. Only two were fully owned by Amo Racing and both win (16-1 and 8-1). LADY BANCROFT didn’t show much on her turf debut at Windsor last month but the switch to handicap company for the first time could bring about improvement.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – Is Being Gelded a Negative Where Flat Horses are Concerned?
The low draw dilemma proved as prevalent a discussion point as ever during the Chester May meeting last week. Andrew Mount discussed that in last week‘s column, but turns his attentions to a broader question for this week: should being gelded be regarded as a negative for flat horses?
