Check The Name

NEWMARKET 3.10 ... NAMECHECK

Namecheck ran a decent enough run here his only outing in 2010 over 10fl when 2.5 length behind John Smith's Cup winner Wigmore Hall.

Wigmore Hall has since won back here before going on to finish 5th to Twice Over in the Champion Stakes (group 1) before success off 117 in a turf Group2 at Meydan.
Though Namecheck has done nothing this season which warrants such great respect, he may have needed 1st run back here over 9fl before encountering soft going latest run at 7fl.

This Colt returns from a 5 week break with Ahmed Ajtebi taking the ride for the 3rd time today, and he has 4 wins and 2 placed efforts from only 9 rides for the yard in the last 3 weeks.

Namecheck ran ok to Gallic Star in a 2Yr Old Pontefract Listed on good/firm going over a mile, and back over today's distance on similar going we may see a much better showing from Namecheck as he meets these handicappers on similar terms. With possibly the exception of Circumvent there is nothing of the calibre of those earlier rivals today and though value for an E/W wager @ 16/1 many firms, I feel either a win or nothing wager!

Won @ 20/1  ... Full Result>>
