Hi all,
Both Saturday’s selections ran well to place and if you had an each-way double you were smiling. However, neither looked like winning their races.
Wincanton
4:37 – High Wells – 15/8 @ Paddy Power & Bet365 – Improved on the flat over the summer and looks on a winnable mark if he can replicate that improvement over hurdles. Drop back to 2m should suit the 6-year-old and he can get off the mark at the 6th attempt over obstacles.
Hexham
12:25 – Blazing Port – 3/1 @ Bet365 – A half-brother to Burton Port & Burtons Well the selection is bred to do well over jumps. A winner of a Sedgefield bumper (soft) on his racecourse debut last December. First run over hurdles and first start for new trainer Nick Alexander but I expect him to make it a winning one here.
Wexford
1:35 – Fresh Appeal – 6/1 – Gen – Relished heavy ground when winning a Clonmel novice hurdle in March. First run since and needs to have improved to win this but given the 5-year-old’s only had two starts over hurdles she maybe capable of doing so.
Cheers
John
