TOONAGH WARRIOR can dominate the Fowey Lifeboat 165 Years Handicap Hurdle (4.20) at Taunton.
The six-year-old arrived at Stuart Edmunds’ yard from Ireland last November, and soon left his maiden tag behind, following up a fine length and three-quarter second behind the useful Helnwein at Warwick with a five-and-a-half-length victory in a two-mile novice event at Wetherby.
Tried in handicap company at Ascot just before Christmas, he just failed to hold off Titan Discovery by a head, with the winner running a big race in a valuable handicap at Kempton recently.
Charlie Hammond’s mount ran solidly on his two most recent starts and with the Edmunds stable in cracking form my selection has a big shout to score a second career success in this two-mile and half a furlong contest.
On the all-weather at Southwell, FANZONE can gain revenge on Inexplicable in the first division of the Boost Your Acca At BetMGM Classified Stakes (7.45) over a mile.
Liam Bailey’s seven-year-old may only have won once in 32 starts but was only beaten a head by his rival at Newcastle eight days ago. He ran on strongly at the finish and is weighted to come out on top this time.
