We have a runner at Sedgefield, where the going is currently described as good, and we are doubly represented in the evening on the all weather at Newcastle.
Milajess ran her best race to date on her latest start at Sedgefield back in early June, when finishing second from 1lb lower than now. She had shown ability previously as well, when finishing second for her previous yard in Ireland in 2023. Milajess runs at Sedgefield at 1.50.pm, in the 0-105 conditional jockeys handicap, over the extended two miles, with her regular rider Emma Smith-Chaston in the saddle.
At Newcastle Milltown Lily goes again over over the same course and distance she attempted two weeks ago, when staying on up the stiff straight to finish a five and three quarter lengths fifth of the nine runners. She would appreciate a strongly run race over this trip, where the best of her three previous runs at Gosforth Park was when finishing a close up third in April last year. Milltown Lily runs at 5.0.pm, in the 0-55 handicap, over 10 furlongs, with Billy Garritty on board for the first time.
The four year old gelding B Associates makes his stable debut for us at 8.30.pm, in the 0-75 apprentice handicap, over seven furlongs, where he will be partnered by Aiden Brookes. B Associates is the winner of eight of his 37 starts for two different yards to date, and appears to act on all surfaces. He is the winner of two of his last four races, and ran with credit on his latest start at Chester from a 1lb higher than now, when going down by just a length.
