Hi all,
Yesterday was the most disappointing day since racing’s resumption but it was to be expected given the run we’ve been on.
Doncaster
2:35 – Copper Knight – 9/2 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – Has the benefit of a recent run at Newmarket 8-days ago when he ran a cracker to finish runner-up in Class 2 handicap, beaten just a short head. That was a career best on turf from the 6-year-old on RPR’s, so he’s clearly returned to the track in great form. Six of his eight career wins have come when racing 8 to 15-days since his last start so he should be spot on here. Drying ground will suit and a reproduction of his Newmarket run would see him go close
Newmarket
2:45 – I Know How – 8/1 @ Bet365 – Improved for the fitting of the blinkers last September and put in a career best when winning at Newcastle two starts back. Not quite at his best when 4th in a better race 101-days ago. Has been running mostly at Newcastle of late but he’s won twice on turf in the past so the retun to the grass shouldn’t be an issue and he’s back down into Class 5 company.
Leopardstown
5:45 – Confidence High –9/4 @Bet365 – Looked much improved when winning over C&D (good to firm) five days ago. Has a 6lb penalty to carry for that success, but if in the same form as last week can win again.
Cheers
John
