Hi all,
A nice Galway double courtesy of Teed Up & Excuzio Joe. What a great ride Sam Ewing gave the latter to overcome his wide draw in 17. I almost left the Galway pair off yesterday’s shortlist and was only going to put one selection up on.
Bangor
3:40 – Java Point – 100/30 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – A winner of a 3m Irish Point in March 2019. The 5-year-old ran well on both novice hurdle starts last season and makes his handicap hurdle debut off what looks a satisfactory mark. The step up to 2m 3 ½ f looks a positive and his point win came on soft to heavy so underfoot conditions should be fine. Trainer Kim Bailey is 8 -27 30% with his runners in the past 14-days.
Chepstow
1:50 – Hideaway Vic – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Trainer Anthony Honeyball had a novice handicap chase winner with Acey Milan at Aintree on Sunday and I think he can have one here with the selection. The 7-year-old was sent off the odds-on favourite for his handicap hurdle debut at Plumpton in January. He finished runner-up that day and can race off the same mark here. Looks the type to make up into chaser and has had a wind-op since running poorly in March.
Catterick
3:15 – Redrosezorro – 100/30 @ Bet365 – Is a real Catterick specialist and made 6 wins from 14 runs at the track when winning over C&D 10-days ago. The 6-year-old has been nudged 4lb for that success and has yet to win off a mark above 80 but he’s handily drawn to attack and shouldn’t be far away.
Cheers
John
