Napoleons Casino Bradford Handicap
6f
Going: Soft
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRichard Fahey has won five of the last eight renewals of this contest so his Amy Santiago must be considered, having run well enough in defeat when bidding for a double off 1lb lower at Kempton last month. Project Black created a good impression when winning at Redcar and going very close at Newcastle late last year and an opening mark of 81 looks workable, but preference is for PRAIRIE FALCON. The Michael Dods-trained colt won a good contest at Ayr off 5lb lower before a fine effort in a valuable sales race at Newmarket in October, and should go close if fully wound up for his return. Dods also saddles Phoenix Fire, who hacked up in a 7f novice event at Redcar in November and makes his handicap bow off a feasible mark of 80.
