Busy Easter Good Friday with some excellent action at Newcastle and Lingfield today. Here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Newcastle
J: Rossa Ryan
T: M Botti
Sommelier has a big task carrying top weight in a competitive handicap, however he could well prove to be a horse better than handicap class in the future. He put behind a fair debut to win a maiden and then novice event with the minimum of fuss on both occasions. He then ran a blinder over this very track and distance at the start of the year in a good handicap. Sommelier travelled powerfully that day and may have just hit the front too soon, as he was ran down in the final strides. Granted a stronger early pace today and more cover, he can be produced to win this time round. Sommelier looks every inch a future pattern class performer and can work his way up the ladder, starting from today. Sommelier rates a 5 star each way Pick.
