DOUBLE: Savvy Warrior and Mr Wagyu

Savvy Warrior can build on a recent success as he tackles the first division of the Weatherbys ePassport Handicap at Thirsk.

Out of luck in four juvenile starts, the three-year-old showed initial promise over a mile on his seasonal return in April, but upped to 10 furlongs at Pontefract the following month he clearly did not stay.

Trainer Sean Woods adopted a new plan after that, moving down to seven furlongs at Wetherby last month – a decision which yielded an immediate return with a one-and-a-half-length victory.

The win should have given him a nice confidence boost and even though he is saddled with an extra 4lb this time, Savvy Warrior can prove up to the task.

The Reverend is interesting on his return to action in the British EBF Novice Stakes.

He posted a stylish success on his only two-year-old start, with a degree of ease about that win.

A half-brother to Group Three winner Angel Power, The Reverend could be a useful prospect.

My Wagyu hit the bar on Derby day and a return trip to Epsom for the Betfred Nifty 50 Handicap can yield compensation.

John and Sean Quinn’s admirable performer has been running consistently well so far this term, not beaten too far in any of his four starts, with his short-head Epsom defeat a particular highlight.

He has placed on each of his three Epsom starts so clearly enjoys the particular test the track poses, and his subsequent Ripon third was another good attempt. Back on the famous Downs off a reduced mark of 92, Mr Wagyu can his presence felt once more.

Alpen Power can enjoy his moment in the spotlight in the Betfred “Pickyourpunt” Handicap.

Charlie Johnston’s three-year-old has endured some mixed fortunes so far this term, with three placed efforts interspersed with a couple of disappointing runs on ground that had a bit of cut.

His best efforts have been on the all-weather but he is on a fair mark and has a fine rider booked in Billy Loughnane.

Crystal Guard is a likely contender in Musselburgh’s Racecourse Live Streams On RacingTV Extra Handicap.

A narrow winner at Ayr at the beginning of last month, he narrowly failed to make it a double off 1lb higher when beaten half a length in third just over two weeks later.

The handicapper has left him unchanged on a mark of 47 which does not look beyond him.
