JOHNNY BOOM is fancied to get back to winning ways as he takes on eight rivals for the BetUK Over 40,000 Live Streamed Races Handicap (8.30) at Wolverhampton on Monday evening.
After drawing a blank on his first six attempts of 2022, the Shaun Lycett-saddled son of New Bay ended the year on a high with a win over Dunstall Park’s extended mile.
Johnny Boom followed up over an additional furlong in the Black Country a week later and has since taken another step forward upped to middle distances.
Sent off at 4-1 for a course-and-distance handicap on his penultimate outing, Johnny Boom and David Probert had a comfortable three and a quarter lengths to spare over Testing Faith.
My selection missed out by half a length over a mile and three at Southwell 10 days ago and a 2lb nudge up the weights may not be enough to stop Johnny Boom from going one better for a fourth success form his last seven starts.
Wolverhampton hosts an all-weather meeting on Monday when Newsboy’s nap, Johnny Boom, runs in the 8.30An hour earlier, GLORIOUS CHARMER looks ripe for a course-and-distance hat-trick in the Top Odds With BetUK Every Day Handicap (7.30).
Having registered a two-length supremacy over Wolverhampton’s five-furlongs in the middle of last month, Michael Hetherington’s seven-year-old followed up with a neck call over Proclivity a fortnight ago, and Aidan Keeley’s partner will be hard to stop in his current form.
