Newbury Race 5 - Local Iq Hcp (Str)
DRYMEE (3) goes handicapping after winning a 1500m contest on soft ground at Lingfield Park. Only finished a neck ahead on that occasion and should be capable of following up. LUCKY LUNA (2) has taken a step forward on every start. Finished 0.5L in front of the field at Salisbury tackling this trip three weeks ago. Stable enjoy great success here and she is respected. THANOS (1) goes in search of a hat-trick after back to back wins at Lingfield Park and most recently Chepstow. Has been in good condition and rates a major player. DEL CORSO (4) continues maiden after six outings but nicely bred and worth giving another chance. Something for the Multiples: VENTURING (5)
