Newsboy fancies his nap, Recobella, to step up at Hamilton in the 5.22 after an encouraging second place last time out and he also rates Gallus Norman in the 4.51 at the Scottish track\"Hamilton<\/p>\n

RECOBELLA<\/strong> should get back to winning ways in the Hampton By Hilton Hamilton Park Handicap (5.22) at Hamilton Park today.<\/p>\n

The Phil Kirby-trained mare hasn\u2019t exactly been a winning machine \u2013 she comes into this afternoon\u2019s race with a record of 1-17, a slightly more encouraging 1-14 when the strike-rate is refined to turf.<\/p>\n

But the evidence of her last-time-out second to Sisterandbrother at Doncaster suggests Recobella is within touching distance of doubling her tally.<\/p>\n

Sent off at 7-2 for a seven-runner apprentice handicap over a mile and a half, my selection and Donagh Murphy \u2013 Mikey Sheehy is in the plate here \u2013 came home a half-length second to the Joey Ramsden-saddled winner.<\/p>\n

The form of that race has worked out very well indeed \u2013 both Sisterandbrother and fourth home It\u2019s Only Fun have won since.<\/p>\n

Now dropping from a 0-65 to a 0-55, Recobella will take the world<\/a> of beating on the back of a 1lb nudge up the weights.<\/p>\n

In the preceding Sodexo Live! Events Handicap (4.51), GALLUS NORMAN<\/strong> is expected to give the in-form Jim Goldie another winner.<\/p>\n

The seven-year-old got a peach from the front under Eireann Cagney in an amateurs\u2019 event at Musselburgh a fortnight ago but has bags of untapped potential and a 6lb rise shouldn\u2019t prevent another good account.
