Harry Redknapp has Saturday goals for Shakem Up’Arry and Bowtogreatness

Former football manager Harry Redknapp has a pair of decent chances this weekend at Haydock and Lingfield.

Harry Redknapp is hoping for a brace from his horses Shakem Up'Arry and Bowtogreatness at Haydock and Lingfield respectively.

After winning nicely at Haydock last month, Shakem Up'Arry will return to Merseyside for the Grade 2 Patrick Coyne Memorial Altcar Novices' Chase on Saturday January 22.

The eight-year-old, trained by Ben Pauling, carried high hopes as a novice hurdler, with his best performance coming when second in last year's Tolworth.

The former Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur manager said: "I'm looking forward to a big weekend! I have Shakem Up'Arry and Bowtogreatness, who both won last time out.

"Shakem Up'Arry is a nice horse. He came to Newbury a couple of years ago and we thought we would win, but we bashed into a horse called Shishkin! He jumped the last upsides, and then he changed gear and went away.
"He is a nice horse and he is going chasing now. He would have won first time up at Ffos Las - he was absolutely cantering when he fell. He came back a couple of weeks ago at Haydock and beat a horse who had won quite comfortably the last time (Casa Tall).
"So, I'm looking forward to it. I like him."

Redknapp's Ffos Las scorer Bowtogreatness will bid to score in the Winter Million Novices' Hurdle on the third and final day of the Winter Million festival at Lingfield on Sunday, January 23.

He added: "Bowtogreatness won at Ffos Las last time and he is a nice horse, too."
Both horses are trained by Ben Pauling, who said: "Shakem Up'Arry had the option of going to Lingfield, but the race there looks just as hot and we decided we'd go to Haydock.
"All his best form has been over two miles, but every jockey that rides him thinks he'll stay two and a half. He seems in very good order and I think this looks a good opportunity.
"Bowtogreatness is a nice horse. He came from Ireland with a big reputation and just didn't really find his groove in bumpers last year.
"This year he's a completely different horse and I hope he's quite useful."
