Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Haydock & Wolverhampton.
Haydock
1:30 – Show Palace – 9/2 @ Bet365 – The softer the ground the better for this dual C&D winner. Hasn’t shown much in two starts this season but the cheekpieces missing since his return to action are back on and he’s 1lb below his last winning mark.
Wolverhampton
8:00 – Shepherd’s Purse – 6/1 @ Bet365 – Might be a veteran but the 8-year-old won twice last year, including over C&D last October, off 2lb lower. Should be sharper for his recent Beverley run and shouldn’t be far away at the finish.
8:30 – Galata Bridge – 6/4 @ Paddy Power & Sky Bet – Interesting that Jim Crowley stays around to ride this son of Golden Horn. The 3-year-old shaped with encouragement when 2nd of 8 in a Newbury novice three weeks ago. He’s bred to improve with racing and should like the step up to 1m 4f for his handicap debut.
Cheers
John
