Paul Ferguson two selections for us on Friday; UAE King in the 2:45 at Ascot and Petitioner in the 8:10 at Newmarket. Compare odds and bet.
A non-runner when selected in this column on Saturday PETITIONER (8:10) can make a winning handicap debut at Newmarket on Friday evening.
A half-brother to the same connections’ Biographer, he won a Kempton maiden last time and looks on a fair opening mark.
Earlier in the day UAE KING (2:45) can complete the hat-trick at Ascot. A maiden winner at Haydock, the Frankel colt relished the longer trip when winning a Sandown handicap last time. Up 6lbs, the step up to 2m could bring about further improvement and he looks most progressive.
Friday’s selections:
2:45 Ascot – UAE King; 11/8 Skybet
8:10 Newmarket – Petitioner; 5/2 Skybet
