FOSTERED PHIL is fancied to reward his connections’ patience with a win in the Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap Hurdle (4.00) on Monday.The James Ewart trainee hasn’t been an easy horse to get to the track – he’s now 11 years old and has made the same number of visits to the track.But what is also clear is that Fostered Phil has ability as he has failed to make the frame just once, and his sole career win came here at Gosforth Park in November 2020.After a lay-off of 626 days, my selection made his return to action at Musselburgh at the start of last month.A 40-1 chance in a field of 15, Fostered Phil and Charlie Maggs –Brian Hughes is in the plate today – came home a seven-length third to Bashful.The son of Arcadio, who had wind surgery during his time on the sidelines, should come on for his return and appeals from the same British Horseracing Authority mark of 104.
At Southwell, TIGERS MOON gets the vote to strike at the fifth time of asking in the concluding Sky Sports Racing Virgin 535 Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (5.15).Tom Ellis’s five-year-old did best of the horses coming from the back when third to Lady Babs at Market Rasen last month, and the winner has since given the form a boost with a follow-up at Carlisle.MONDAY'S SELECTIONS NEWCASTLE1.50 SMOKERINGINTHEDARK2.25 LOOKING SPLENDID2.55 KILLYBEGS JET LADY3.25 DIAMOND MIX4.00 FOSTERED PHIL (NAP)4.30 THE PADDY PIE5.00 GEORDIE MACKEMSOUTHWELL2.03 FINN LOUGH2.37 WE GOT YOUR BACK3.07 WILLEWONGA3.42 JACK HYDE4.12 MOONSHINE MAN4.42 JASMINE BLISS5.15 TIGERS MOON (NB)WOLVERHAMPTON4.25 CITY ESCAPE4.55 KHANGAI5.30 COME ON JOHN6.00 PREANKA6.30 AUTUMN ANGEL7.00 ROGUE THUNDER7.30 NORDIC GLORY8.00 COLLUSION8.30 GUSTAV GRAVES
