Reasoning Today’s accumulator blends three horses with strong claims: Sea The Clouds, a proven Cartmel performer stepping up in trip; Silver Wraith, well treated in calmer waters at Epsom; and Shaboozee, thriving after a dominant Ballinrobe win. Together, they combine proven form, course suitability and progressive profiles to form a confident betting treble. |
16:05 Cartmel – Sea The Clouds
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Sea The Clouds is a horse who knows how to win at Cartmel and looks ready to strike again in the Wicks Group Cavendish Cup Handicap Chase. James Moffatt trains plenty of winners at this unique Cumbrian course, and his runner has shown time and again he relishes the demands of the track. Last summer, Sea The Clouds took a 2m6f handicap hurdle here in determined fashion before almost repeating the feat in May over the same trip.

Most recently, he switched to fences and made the perfect start to his chasing career, landing a 2m1½f contest at this venue. That distance was always likely to prove on the sharp side, but he got the job done in willing style under Brian Hughes, and the extra stamina test on offer now looks an ideal scenario. Yes, he carries 6lb more this time, but his profile suggests further improvement as a chaser is likely. With proven course form, proven staying power and a trainer who knows exactly how to prepare one for Cartmel, Sea The Clouds holds all the right credentials to deliver once again.
13:35 Epsom – Silver Wraith
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Silver Wraith has been knocking on the door in competitive company and looks poised to make her mark in this six-furlong handicap at Epsom. She shaped very nicely on her handicap debut at Goodwood in June, chasing home a rival who looked above average, and that run provided the clearest signal yet that she has the ability to win at this level. Since then, she has contested stronger races than today’s, most recently finishing a creditable fourth at Sandown after a sluggish break left her with ground to make up.
The drop in grade here gives her an obvious opportunity to break her maiden tag. Her style of running, travelling strongly and finishing well, suggests that stepping back up to six furlongs will play right into her strengths. Oisin Murphy maintains the partnership, and his confidence in the saddle adds another layer of appeal. Epsom’s track can catch some out, but Silver Wraith’s balance and determination look tailor-made for handling its twists and turns. Everything points towards a well-deserved breakthrough, and in this company she is unlikely to find many better chances to get her head in front.
17:13 Ballinrobe – Shaboozee
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Shaboozee arrives in cracking form and looks a horse very much on the upgrade. His run at Killarney two starts ago showed real promise when he finished second despite losing his rider’s irons early on. That effort highlighted both his talent and his tenacity, as he still managed to travel strongly and stick on despite the mishap. Building on that, he returned to Ballinrobe earlier this month and stamped his authority with a commanding performance, making all the running and pulling clear in the straight.
That victory came with plenty in hand, suggesting the assessor has been lenient with only a 7lb rise in the weights. Trained by Joseph O’Brien, who excels with progressive types, Shaboozee has the hallmarks of a horse capable of climbing higher through the handicap ranks. His ability to dictate matters up front, combined with a proven liking for the track, makes him a very difficult rival to peg back. Given his trajectory and the quality of his recent form, another big effort looks inevitable.
