FROM THE OFF

Former jockey Liam Hall pinpoints a few runners over the weekend not to ignore.

Likely odds on favourite Polly Darling ticks alot of boxes, dam was a smart sprinter and being an early January foal she's had time to strengthen already as a two year old, Showcasing is a top sprinting stallion but they often prefer a bit of cut in the ground so with no rain forecast that's the only concern. Youfillupmysenses is bred to be all speed and could be involved but the Tim Easterby newcomers tend to improve alot for their first experience. There's a chance has a very appealing pedigree, plenty of speed merchants in the family but being by Magna Grecia she may be doing her best work at the finish.

A valuable class 2 novice stakes where I'll be opposing the top two in the market with Frio. A son of Havana Grey who as a stallion continues to thrive with producing early two year olds. Our Hero Matty is by A'Ali who is another stallion who has started sharply this season and the dam has produced sprinting quality already so a market check is advised.
