Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Lingfield, Nottingham & Kempton.
Lingfield
3:00 – HMS President – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Brings strong form from competitive handicaps into the race. However, he’s disappointed on his last two starts, was sent off the 6/5 favourite at Beverley for a handicap won by the IIaraab, not suited by the slow early gallop, and struggled over a mile at Pontefract last time. Needs to settle better in his races but can be competitive of this mark if he does.
Nottingham
2:10 – Gordonstoun – 3/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Made it 2-2 on going with soft in the going description when winning over C&D three weeks ago. Up 4lb in a deeper race but he’s going the right way and should go close.
Kempton
6:20 – Silent Echo – 4/1 – Last run at Goodwood can be forgiven, as the 5-year-old didn’t like the heavy ground. He’s better judged on his close 3rd of 11 at Haydock two starts back. Was a close 2nd over C&D last October and is now 4lb lower. Not the most consistent of horses but has a handy low draw and Silvestre De Sousa is up for the first time.
Cheers
John
