4.45 Wolverhampton, Thursday, July 23
In the Hotel & Racing Packages Available Handicap (4.45) at Wolverhampton on Thursday, Ian Williams’ 6-year-old Ferryview Place returns to Tapeta after a fruitless spell on turf and may be able to regain the winning thread.
The Compton Place gelding won over course and distance, in 0-55 company, off his current handicap mark in February and ran his best race on turf for some time when fourth of twelve, beaten 4½ lengths, in a 0-70 amateur riders’ contest over 1 mile 2 furlongs at Newbury two weeks ago. The only horse from that race to have run since, Engai, who finished third, won a similar contest at Beverley last Tuesday, so the form looks even better than it did at the time.
His career record of 4 wins from 39 starts isn’t particularly inspiring, but two of those wins came over course and distance, under Stevie Donohoe, earlier this year, so he has plenty going for him in a race that probably won’t take much winning.
