Town Charter Can Bring Johnston Joy
There are meetings at Ayr, Worcester, Windsor and Ripon, on Monday. The 1.45 at Ayr is a 6f race for juveniles and a chance for Mark Johnston’s Town Charter to get off the mark, at the second time of asking. The American grey colt impressed on debut at Carlisle, finishing runner-up to Burrishoole Abbey.
Worcester’s 2.30 is a Class 3 handicap chase, over a 2m 4f trip. No Likey will probably start as favourite, although David Pipe’s Castlemorris King is the blog’s preference. While it’s true that he lacks experience over fences, he has looked very sharp over hurdles and won on his last 2 appearances here.
Claudio To Click At Roscommon
The meetings at Windsor and Ripon take place in the evening. The Listed Lenebane Stakes is the feature at Roscommon (7.55), with Claudio Monteverdi representing Aidan O’Brien. At Maisons Laffitte, Midweek takes on Powder Snow in the Listed Amandine Stakes. There are 8 races at Fairview.
