Hi all,
It was good to get back among the winners after a couple of disappointing days.
Plumpton
3:05 – Meteorite – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Trainer Tom Symonds had a winner at Huntingdon yesterday and I think he can have another win here with the selection. Meteorite broke his maiden tag over hurdles at the eighth attempt when winning at Sedgefield (soft). Up 8lb for that success he looks capable of a bit more progress and if ready to roll first time can go close here.
Hereford
2:45 – Eclair Surf – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Made a winning debut over hurdles at Exeter (soft) last November. Looked laboured on his next starts. Risks attached on his return to action for the first time since March but he’s former point winner and looks capable of making his mark over fences. Chase/handicap debut here and trainer Emma Lavelle opts for the first-time hood – 4 winners from 11 runners 36% +31.5 with her runners in the first-time headgear since 2018.
Wolverhampton
5:50 – Production – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner over 1m 2f last summer has yet to win on seven starts since joining the Ed Walker yard. However, he shaped well on both his last two start when dropped to 6f. A close-up second at Kempton and third at Pontefract 46-days ago. Didn’t get the best of runs a furlong out at Pontefract. Looks on a winnable mark for trainer who’s 8-30 +56.88 with his runners in the past 14-days.
I’m off tomorrow, back on Wednesday.
Cheers
John
