Chiringuita Could Come Back To Form For Red Hot Bethell

Unfortunately our winning run came to an end when Fazza finished down the field on Monday. It was a much better run than his finishing position suggests though, as he never managed to get a clear run in the closing stages. Paddy Aspell went for the brave man's route up the inside but unfortunately there was no room at the inn. Fazza looked to be travelling well but once the gaps didn't come Aspell let him come home in his own time. He will be a big price again next time out and he showed me enough to think he is definitely capable of reaching the frame in the future, especially if he is dropped another couple of pounds in the handicap.

Tomorrow there is some cracking action at Newmarket as the July festival continues. The Duchess Of Cambridge and the Falmouth are the big races of the day, and in the former I think that Magical Fire is worth a second look returned to the ground she likes. I have no strong fancy for the Falmouth. My main bet tomorrow goes in the fillies' 7f handicap at 3.10 and I think Chiringuita could be set to take a big step forward on her two runs so far this season with Mickael Barzalona booked for the ride.

This filly had some very useful form last season as a 2yo, and she has already earned black type with a head 2nd in a Listed heat behind Whitman at Ripon last year (6f good). She has won just once in her 7 race career, a facile victory at 7/1 on debut at Pontefract. However, she has been highly tried on occasions, and she even had a crack at Group 3 level at Ayr. She was well beaten in that contest but she bounced back with an excellent 4th in a Listed heat at Newbury (7f soft).

She has only had one run in a handicap and she was well beaten on the all weather at Chelmsford off 91 on her seasonal return. She ran much better back in Listed company at Carlisle (7f gd/fm) last time, beaten just under 6L in 4th. She was very awkward at the start and if she had got away better she may well have finished a lot closer to the winner.

The handicapper has generously dropped her 4lb to 85 for that run, and on her form last year that is a mark that she could do damage off. Whitman beat her by a head at Ripon (she was getting 4lb) and he went on to be beaten a head himself off a mark of 92 in a handicap at Ascot. I think Chringuita looks well overpriced at 25/1 and her trainer has been in great form the last couple of weeks. This is her trip, she will like the ground and a top jockey is booked. Bethell has had 3 places and a winner from his last 6 runners and hopefully Chringuita continues his good run tomorrow.

STEVOS' SELECTION: 3.10 NEWMARKET-CHIRINGUITA E/W 25/1
