Wolverhampton hosts a seven-race meeting on Monday evening, and Newsboy’s nap selection, Moulin Booj, is fancied to win the 7.30 handicap. The George Scott-trained six-year-old has a strong chance to return to winning ways in the Midnite, Building The Future Of Betting Handicap.
Moulin Booj has won five of his 37 starts, with 13 podium finishes, often finishing late but falling short. However, a strong pace is expected with Sam’s Xpress likely to lead, while The Bell Conductor and first-time-visored Almaty Star will be close behind. Callum Shepherd’s mount, rated 81 by the BHA, typically does his best work in the final stages. With a course-and-distance victory and a half-length second from two previous visits to Wolverhampton, Moulin Booj can get his head in front.
At Plumpton, Ferret Jeeter (3.30) is the next best selection, aiming for a fourth win in six outings this season. Anthony Honeyball’s nine-year-old won by four and a quarter lengths over course and distance four weeks ago, and a 6lb higher mark may not prevent another victory.
Newsboy’s daily double pairs Moulin Booj and Ferret Jeeter. Other selections include Book of Life (5.30 Wolverhampton), Church Wedding (6.00), Crown Relic (6.30), Beaming Light (7.00), Time to Sparkle (8.00), and Crown to Win (8.30).
