Hi all,
Eddiemaurice kept the winning run going with a win at Ludlow yesterday but the well backed Aces N Kings could only finish third. Will it continue today? Today’s selections are from Chepstow, Huntingdon and Sedgefield.
Chepstow
4:00 – Jurys Out – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The selection remains a maiden after five starts over fences but the 8-year-old has shown promise and bounced back from a poor run at Ffos Las two starts back (5/4 fav) when 2nd of 13 at Wincanton 47-days ago. Nudged up a further 2lb for that effort but there is a moderate handicap chase in the 8-year-old.
Huntingdon
2:35 – Rob The Getaway – 9/2 – Gen – Looks to be getting better with racing over fences. The selection posted a career best on RPR’s when 2nd of 11 on his handicap chase over C&D 65-days ago. Up 5lb for that effort but if he jumps as solidly as he did last time, he’s a got a good chance of going one better here.
Sedgefield
2:42 – Spirit of Hale – 7/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The 10-year-old looked laboured when well beaten by one of today’s rivals Sigurd at Catterick last month. That was his fourth poor run this season but it’s worth remembering that he easily won this race 12 months ago, off 1lb lower and trainer Jennie Candlish has been among the winners this week. If he’s in a going mood can go close.
Cheers
John
