Timeform Daily: Tuesday, Yarmouth 15:40

"King Of Jazz has run in some good handicaps last 3 seasons, and though yet to win one, has shaped well both starts this year..."

Timeform analyse a decent handicap over seven furlongs at Yarmouth on Tuesday...

Khubala did well at 3 yrs, winning 3 6f handicaps before fine effort in defeat in Ascot contest in October. Pedigree offers hope he'll stay 7f and could go on again this term.

Princess Of Orange won 1m Newmarket handicap on good to firm last summer. Well held in couple of stronger races as year ended and needs to pick up again on return with mark looking on stiff side now.

Spirit Of Sharjah is a hold-up performer who has fine turn of foot when on song. Fended off sole rival in a 7f minor event at Kempton (7f) in January, but not in the same form since, and others make greater appeal.

Karam Albaari came up short in pattern/listed races at 3 yrs after making winning debut at Kempton (6f) in September 2010. Missed 2012 and can only be watched on return.

Noble Citizen didn't quite kick on from Goodwood second early last season. Has dropped in the weights and should make presence felt in some good handicaps this term but may need this.

Swiss Cross is now 5 lb below last winning mark and better than bare result both starts back on turf this month, finishing well behind Ajjaadd at Epsom latest. Leading claims.

Galician has gained all 3 wins over 6f but has stamina for this trip and ran a blinder when touched off by York Glory at Pontefract last week. Leading claims from same mark if overcoming highest draw.

King Of Jazz has run in some good handicaps last 3 seasons, and though yet to win one, has shaped well both starts this year at Doncaster over 6f. Just as effective at 7f and well worth considering.

Fast Finian has done well on AW for this yard, winning 3 times in 2012. Some good efforts in defeat since latest success but must carry that form back over to turf now. Blinkers tried.

Bayleyf improved throughout 2011, winning 6f nursery at Glorious Goodwood. Been given big chance by the handicapper after quiet 2012 and excuses for Lingfield defeat in January.

Comrade Bond has gll 3 wins over C&D but no great record fresh and may just need this.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. King Of Jazz
2. Galician
3. Swiss Cross

Timeform Verdict: Galician ran a blinder at Pontefract and Swiss Cross will find an opening again before long, but perhaps this could be the day King Of Jazz gets an elusive first handicap success following on from 2 eye-catching efforts at Doncaster.

Timeform Radio Tips: Junket to do the job at Yarmouth

Timeform Radio Tip / Terry Norman / 09 April 2012 / Leave a Comment

Junket's jockey Ryan Moore

"None of Junket's siblings have won over the distance but her style suggests that she needs it."

Terry Norman gives two selections from today's bumper Bank Holiday fixtures...

There may be a plethora of fixtures today but decent betting opportunities are very thin on the ground.

Mac's Power (3.20 Warwick) has, on ratings, only New Planet to worry about in the conditions event over 6f. The pair can be separated by New Planet appearing to need his first run of the season and also not being proven over 6f.

The selection, however, goes very well fresh, is adaptable regarding tactics and comes from the in-form yard of James Fanshawe.

The application of a hood - a tactic Fanshawe likes to use - will also help a horse that can get buzzed up. Any rain that falls will be an additional aid.

The only thing that stops me lauding over the chance of Junket (5.20 Yarmouth) is the slight doubt over whether 10f is the right trip for John Scargill's mare.

The fragile daughter of Medicean - this will be only her sixth start in three years - makes her first attempt at the trip after a strong-finishing second at Kempton over a mile.

None of Junket's siblings have won over the distance but her style suggests that she needs it. The threat of more rain at the seaside track will enhance confidence as well as compromising the chance of Jewelled, Spin Cast and Glass Mountain, who may also need the run.

Ryan Moore is also an unusual booking for the yard, Scargill, though he has struggled for winners , is a more than capable handler and will only book a top jockey if he fancies it.

Recommended Bets

Back Mac's Power (3.20 Warwick) @ [2.54]

Nick Shiambouros' Patented 80/20 bet: Great Yarmouth, 16:10

80/20 / Nick Shiambouros / 26 April 2011 / Leave a Comment

Nick Shiambouros is to the seaside to follow the fortunes of an intriguing 80/20...

Today's 80/20 is Mata Keranjang in the 16:10 at Yarmouth. This gelding finished down the field behind Eton Forever at Doncaster earlier this month. He met a fair amount of interference during the race and was not given a hard time when all chance had gone. He is a pretty decent performer on his day and could run well at a fair price in this interesting handicap. At present he is trading at [8.2] on the exchange.

Nick is hoping there will be no clowning around by his 80/20 selection this afternoon but who has he gone for?...

Can this well-bred individual do the business?...

Monster price on Nick's Sandown selection - will you be joining the bet?...
