Hi all,
Ascot
1:55 – Capeland – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Won a handicap chase over C&D last November. Was unlucky in this race 12 months when taken out at the last by stablemate and eventual winner Diego Du Charmil. He’s now 7lb higher than for that C&D win but remains the one to beat.
Down Royal
2:25 – Chris’s Dream – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Although well beaten in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, he’s a much better horse off a break Three miles on rain softened ground looks his optimum conditions and the 8-year-old has won three times going right-handed. Has 6lb to find with Delta Work but can take advantage if the top-rated needs the run.
Ayr
3:27 – Faire Part Sivola – 11/1 @ Bet365 – Looks interesting on his first start for Lucinda Russell. The selection won a heavy ground novice hurdle at Leicester on his seasonal return last December and bettered that performance when beaten a head at Wincanton (soft) under a penalty a month later. Looks on a winnable mark and get’s the first time cheekpieces today.
Newmarket
1:30 – Galactic Glow – 7/2 @ Paddy Power – Has improved with each of three starts for new trainer David Menuisier and put in career best effort when 2nd of 9 at Yarmouth 19-days ago. Heavy ground is an unknown but he seemed to handle soft at Yarmouth well enough. On a winnable mark and William Buick, 3-10 when combining with the trainer keeps the ride on the 3-year-old.
Cheers
John
