Hi all,
No luck yesterday so here’s hoping for better today.
Fakenham
2:55 – Le Sacre – 13/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Has failed to complete on either start but the 12-year-old will like the soft ground and is just 2lb above his last winning mark. Trainer John Flint had a winner at Newbury last week so the yard are in form and the top-weight should give his backers a good run for their money in this 3m 5f handicap chase.
Wolverhampton
5:50 – Grey D’Ars – 9/2 @ Bet365 – A three-time winner in France but the selection has yet to taste success after 16 starts for his present yard. The 5-year-old has been running well enough this autumn and was only beaten a head into second over C&D last month. Hollie Doyle takes over from an amateur today and he shouldn’t be far away from 1lb higher.
7:20 – Nezar – 9/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Won this race 12 months ago off 6lb higher and was only beaten ½ length in to third here two starts back. Nowhere near that level of form at Lingfield two weeks ago but better can be expected from this well handicapped 10-year-old back on the tapeta.
I’m off tomorrow so see you on Wednesday
Cheers
John
