‘He looks like he’s going to take plenty of stopping’ – Sam King’s daily wagers

Sam King tipped two winners at Newbury when last in action and is back with a pair of selections on Tuesday.


The best wager of the day comes from Nottingham, with Man Of La Mancha expected to prove tough to pass in the 5.05.

Trained by last weeks Dante Stakes hero Ralph Beckett, Man Of La Mancha looks like just the type of progressive three-year-old this trainer can often excel with.

Having finished a promising third behind the now 106-rated Marvelman at Kempton in March, it was hardly surprising to see Man Of La Mancha make a bit of a mockery of his opening mark of 71 at Windsor last week.

Always towards the fore under Rossa Ryan, he picked up well in the straight to win cosily by over two lengths on his first start since being gelded, leaving the impression he had a much bigger pot in him at some stage this season.

Ralph Beckett wouldn't be one to turn his horses out quickly that often, so it's interesting this gelding is back running just a week after his Windsor success, suggesting connections may wish for their son of Lope De Vega to head up the handicap sooner rather than later.

A 6lb penalty is completely negated by Jack Dace's 7lb claim, with the talented apprentice a positive booking on his first ride for Beckett.

Quick ground is clearly no problem, while the extra half a furlong should be right up his street and, in all truth, he looks like he's going to take plenty of stopping at around the 10/11 mark.

2pt Win - Man Of La Mancha

Odds – 10/11

Earlier on the card, it could pay to take a small chance on the Michael Appleby-trained Snow Berry in the five-furlong handicap (3.02).

Disappointing when last seen four months ago, Snow Berry's chances appear to hinge on this return to her favoured venue.

A three-time course winner, including on ground officially described as good-to-firm, the seven-year-old wasn't at her best towards the end of last season.

However, it does mean she's now 4lb lower than when scoring at Bath last September and with the likes of Banana, Antiphon, Stroxx and Gypsy Nation all expected to be up with the pace, this could suit Snow Berry, who often finds herself coming home strongly from off the speed.

1pt Win - Snow Berry

Odds – 12/1
