Peter Chapple-Hyam is noted for getting the best out of promising two-year-olds and his colt Entertainer is napped to lose his maiden tag in the Haynes, Hanson and Clark Conditions Stakes at Newbury today. This good-looking son of Be My Guest made his debut over seven furlongs, finding only Caledonian Colours a neck too good in a hot-looking maiden at Haydock. Entertainer stayed on really well under pressure that day, looking sure to appreciate the extra furlong of tomorrow's conditions race. Certain to improve upon that initial effort, Entertainer can get the better of the more experienced Daliapour to win. King Alex is napped to open his account for the season in the nine-furlong Witney Conditions Stakes at the same track.
This lightly raced five-year-old is very smart on his day as he showed when capturing the Group Three Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh last year His two runs this season, fourth in a well-contested Listed race at Kempton and third in the Group Three Scottish Classic, show that King Alex retains all his ability.
Dropped in grade tomorrow the son of Rainbow Quest can reward Roger Charlton's patient handling by capturing this Class B contest.
Jimmy FitzGerald has been going well with his Flat runners recently and he can land another success through Mini Lodge in the Strachan Kerr Conditions Stakes.
Earlier on the card, Best Of All has an excellent chance in the Faucets For Safe Showering, Bathing & Handwashing Rada & Meynell Controls Fillies' Handicap.
With her favoured 10-furlong trip and her ability to act on any going, Best Of All is selected to gain her fourth win of the campaign at the Scottish track and earn herself a crack at the Cambridgeshire.
