Wednesday Racing Tips – Dan James Racing

Anaconda brings strong juvenile form from France, where he impressed in competitive hurdles, and now makes his UK debut with a big opportunity to strike immediately. His schooling reports have been positive, showing slick, low jumping and a good attitude under pressure. The Wetherby track should suit his fluent style, and the step down in class compared to French company gives him a clear edge. The stable has enjoyed notable success introducing French recruits at this time of year, and Anaconda’s natural cruising speed will make him tough to peg back if allowed to dictate.

The expected soft going poses no issue, having handled similar conditions abroad. With a solid fitness base and the right tactical setup, Anaconda looks well placed to make a winning impression on his British bow, confirming himself as a talented prospect among the juveniles.

Canopus looks a serious contender at Nottingham, coming off a string of consistent efforts in strong handicap company. He has been knocking on the door for several weeks and finds an ideal opportunity to convert promise into victory. His recent runs have displayed excellent balance and a smooth stride pattern, suggesting the flat, galloping nature of Nottingham will suit perfectly. The forecast going also favours him—he travels best with a little give underfoot. Drawn well to attack from a prominent position, he should get a good early pitch, and his ability to quicken under pressure gives him a decisive weapon in the final furlong.

His trainer has timed this entry cleverly, dropping him slightly in grade while maintaining trip continuity. With solid recent form, a tactical draw, and favourable race conditions, Canopus has everything in place to break through and secure a well-deserved success.

Green Triangle has been shaping like a winner in waiting, building steadily toward peak form after several encouraging runs. His latest effort hinted he’s ready to strike, finishing strongly from an unpromising position and clocking solid sectionals in the closing stages. The step back to Nottingham is a plus, as he’s previously run well on this surface and trip. His pedigree suggests continued improvement as the season progresses, and conditions look ideal for him to deliver a top-level performance.

The race setup suits his running style—he can settle early before producing his trademark late surge down the straight. With fitness, form, and a favourable draw all aligning, Green Triangle has a golden chance to get his head in front. He’s a progressive type entering this race on the right trajectory and looks ready to finally turn consistency into a deserved victory.
