Robin Goodfellow’s Key Races Analysis
In the Spring Cup at Newbury (3.12), METAL MERCHANT (NAP) is tipped to replicate last year’s triumph, despite a 6lb rise in handicap. The form from that race received a boost when Godwinson, finishing a close second, subsequently secured victory in the Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster. Godwinson’s handicap was then increased by 11lb to 99. In contrast, Metal Merchant, known for performing well when fresh, competes with a handicap of 97.
Earlier in the day, RUBY ISLAND (NB) emerges as a strong contender in the Mares’ Handicap Hurdle at Ayr (2.55). Having finished 15 lengths ahead of Lavida Adiva at this course last month, and now benefiting from 5lb better terms, Ruby Island could demonstrate further improvement over this extended three-mile distance.
Wizard of Odds Expert Insights
3.12 NEWBURY: McHENRY (NAP) boasts a record of winning first time out for the past two seasons, indicating strong freshness. His 2024 campaign was notable, highlighted by a second place in the prestigious Cambridgeshire Handicap.
3.35 AYR: SNIPE and SAIL AWAY present compelling cases based on established historical trends. A victory for either runner would significantly aid Dan Skelton’s ambition to overcome Willie Mullins in the Champion Trainer race.
4.54 NEWBURY: METALLO maintains peak fitness from all-weather runs and is now positioned in a lower class for this return to turf racing. With Rossa Ryan back in the saddle, the duo are well-placed to overcome top weight conditions.
