Steve Jones has identified three each-way opportunities for Saturday's action, headed by Zigazig Ah in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury (3.37). The Richard Spencer-trained filly steps back down to 5f for the valuable sales race after two promising efforts over 6f.
Zigazig Ah finished a close second on Lingfield's all-weather track on debut before going one better at Yarmouth three weeks later. She showed plenty of speed in both starts and was well on top when winning that fillies' maiden. Although she clearly stays 6f, she may prove even more effective over this shorter trip, and her low weight is an advantage. Jones suggests 1pt each-way at 18-1, with several bookmakers paying five places.
At Market Rasen, High Fibre is the pick for the Betway Summer Handicap Hurdle (2.10). The former Harry Fry inmate finished third on the Flat at York last week on his first start for in-form trainer James Owen, a run that should set him up for a return to hurdles. He showed his liking for decent ground when winning at Kempton in March, and conditions should suit.
High Fibre had become disappointing for Fry but was capable of decent form on his day. A change of scenery may help, and Owen has a strong record with horses arriving from other yards. He races without his usual cheekpieces and tries a visor for the first time. The tip is 1pt each-way at 12-1 with several firms offering four places.
Breizh River also appeals in the Betway Summer Plate (2.45). Since joining Tristan Davidson last autumn, he has won three times from nine starts, most recently at Cartmel three weeks ago when he showed a good attitude in the closing stages. He looks the most likely pacesetter and may prove hard to catch. Jones recommends 1pt each-way at 10-1, with many bookmakers paying four places.
