Monday Towcester Horse Racing Preview

Riddlestown has now won four times at Towcester and is entered to run at the Northamptonshire track on Monday evening
RIDDLESTOWN will bid for a five-timer at Towcester on Monday afternoon when the Caroline Fryer-trained ten year-old tackles the 3m handicap chase on a seven race card which gets underway at 2pm.
This quirky son of Cloudings has proved a revelation during the course of the last month, winning twice at Southwell before scoring over hurdles and then fences at Towcester, all of these rides under Jack Andrews.
The going seems sure to be soft after all the recent rain, but Riddlestown has plenty of form in these conditions.
Fryer, who trains near Wymondham in Norfolk, has little option but to run Riddlestown at Towcester which does not race again until October after Monday’s meeting, although the horse has also won seven times at Southwell.
She said of the 13-times career winner: “Fryer said: “If we go anywhere other than Southwell or Towcester he just makes a fool of me. We took him to Huntingdon and he hated it. For whatever reason, he is in the form of his life. I haven’t done anything different.”
Fryer’s charismatic star came storming up the hill in the 3m handicap chase last Monday evening to defeat Better Days by four and a half lengths.
While it is not unusual for a horse to have a racecourse preference, Riddlestown defies logic as Southwell and Towcester are poles apart in their geography, the former being a flat left handed track while the latter is infamous for steep gradients and running the other way round.
Elsewhere on the Towcester card it might pay to take a chance with My Nosy Rosy for the local in-form Ben Case stable with the nine year-old having both chase and hurdle options.
My Nosy Rosy returns from an 18 month lay-off but has previously scored on an undulating track in the form of Chepstow.
