Newsboy fancies his nap, Speed Of Maajid, to win at Chelmsford and also hopes Isla Bella can score on the same card and complete his Daily Double
Chelmsford hosts an all-weather Flat meeting on Thursday when Newsboy’s nap, Speed Of Maajid, is fancied to win the 7.30
SPEED OF MAAJID is expected to bring to an end a frustrating run when he takes on seven rivals for the Cosy Dining In The Fairwood Handicap (7.30) at Chelmsford City on Thursday evening.Robert Cowell’s son of Mayson has won one of his 10 starts on turf and is still searching for his first victory on the all-weather after six attempts.
But he’s made the frame on his last four runs on sand, following a close fourth over course and distance in November with silver medals at Wolverhampton (twice) and Southwell.Last Friday, Marco Ghiani’s partner came home strongly to be beaten one length by Emperor’s Son at Dunstall Park and his quick return to action means the sprinter can compete from the same British Horseracing Authority mark of 67.There should be plenty of pace on here for a closer to aim at and Speed Of Maajid gets the Nap vote to be the beneficiary for a first success on artificial surfaces.
