WANNABE BRAVE (8.30, Nap) is fancied to land the Unibet Support Safe Gambling Handicap over two miles at Kempton this evening.
The course-and-distance winner, trained by James Fanshawe (below), has won three times from just four runs on the Flat this season.
His latest victory at Lingfield in May saw him travel strongly before taking the lead over a furlong out and running on well to win by one and a half lengths from Daaris.
Last time out, the five-year-old was a decent third of eight to Abraaj over today’s course and distance.
The winner has franked the form by winning at Kempton and finishing a close runner-up at Chelmsford.
My selection will have a tongue strap on for the first time tonight and should be thereabouts again.
At Nottingham, the Paul Midgley-trained MAJESKI MAN (3.45, nb) gets the vote in the 5f Autospares (Sutton) Ltd Handicap.
The seven-year-old has won over today’s course and distance and returned from a break with a good second of seven in a handicap at Leicester last month, beaten a length by Catch Cunningham.
He will race off the same mark here and the son of Dandy Man is fancied to land the spoils in the hands of David Nolan.
