Highlight Picks at Fontwell and Perth

For those following the action this Thursday, here are the standout horses to consider:

• Crooked Path - Fontwell, 1:44 PM
• Tap Tap Shamie - Perth, 3:05 PM

Fontwell’s Featured Race: Crooked Path

In the Class 4 Conditional Jockeys' Handicap at Fontwell, the spotlight is on Crooked Path, trained by James Owen. At just four years old, Crooked Path is the youngest competitor in this race, promising an intriguing performance.

Originally trained in Ireland, he made a notable mark with a maiden hurdle victory back in April before transitioning to Owen's stable, where he has since shown promising form on the flat, achieving one win and two second places across three handicap outings.

His recent outing was a competitive Class 2 handicap at Market Rasen, where a late fade saw him finish third. With a drop in class and a longer trip ahead, Crooked Path is well-positioned to demonstrate his abilities today, despite some uncertainty surrounding his stamina. Owen’s high strike-rate adds to the anticipation for this runner.

Perth’s Competitive Scene: Tap Tap Shamie

Next up at Perth is the Class 4 Handicap Hurdle, featuring Tap Tap Shamie. Trained by Olly Murphy, this six-year-old is set to tackle the challenge with a weighty top burden of 12 stone. However, he appears to have the potential to outperform expectations.

His journey began with a close second at Wincanton in February, where he faced off against a notably experienced winner. Since then, the form of that race has been validated with subsequent performances by the competitors.

Despite finishing second again at Carlisle, he demonstrated resilience and promise that now translates into today’s race. Following a decisive victory at Hexham, Tap Tap Shamie seems ready to continue improving, making him a strong contender for bettors.
