Hi all,
Running late this morning.
Just two seconds yesterday. Today’s selections are from Naas and Warwick.
Naas
3:35 – Big King – 7/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – A winner on his handicap debut at Navan back in November. The 7-year-old improved again to finish 2nd of 20 in a valuable handicap hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nudged up just 4lb for that latest effort and provided the ground isn’t too testing looks capable of finding more improvement for the step up to 2m 3f today.
Warwick
3:12 – That’s The Badger – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 6-year-old seemed to show improved from when 3rd of 12 on his handicap debut at Carlisle 26-days ago. Today’s slightly long trip should suit and trainer Henry Daly seems to have hit form 3-11 in the past 14-days.
4:15 – Flashjack – 20/1 @ Bet365 – The 11-year-old might have reached the veteran stage but he’s twice won around here in the past, goes well on testing ground and returns to Class 3 company for the first time since winning at Haydock in December 2019, off 3lb higher. A thorough stayer his form figures racing beyond 3m 1f are 111531. A bit of a speculative pick, as his form of late has been poor but the yard is in much better form now.
Cheers
John
