Hi all,
Exeter
3:45 – Don Herbager – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A maiden after eight starts under rules but he’s only had the two starts over the larger obstacles. A ½ length runner-up at Lingfield on his chase debut, before finishing a close-up 3rd of 14 here over 2m 5f, last time out. He’s up 5lb for that effort but still looks competitively weighted. The step back up to 3m should be fine and he goes well on soft/heavy ground. There is a race like this in the 7-year-old.
Clonmel
2:35 – Stand Off – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Got off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles when winning here over 2m. 47 days ago. That win came on heavy ground and today’s extra three furlongs shouldn’t be an issue for a yard who had a winner at the weekend.
Cheers
John
