Merlin The Wizard heads to Newmarket to run in the ‘Racehorse Lotto Novice Stakes’ for owner Imad Alsagar.

Today he makes his 3 year old debut over a mile in a field of 10 runners with a draw of 4. Hollie Doyle takes the ride.

Ashky is our final runner of the day and heads to Newmarket to run in the ‘Racehorse Lotto Lucky Ticket Handicap’ for owner Mohammed Jaber. She is a winner of 3 races from 9 runs as well as placing 3rd on 4 other occasions.
