Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Ascot, Ffos Las and Market Rasen.
Ascot
2:00 – Art Power – 9/2 – Gen – A previous C&D winner. He also finished a length 4th of 16 in this race 12 months ago. And, a 1 ¾ length 3rd of 12 in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot. Add in his 4th placed effort in the July Cup and his 1 ¾ length 5th of 11th in the Haydock Sprint Cup and you have a horse who is just below Group 1 level. That said he may not need to be a Group 1 horse to win this year’s renewal. The 4-year-old easily beat Twilight Spinner in a Group 3 at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat if stall 20 isn’t an inconvenience.
Ffos Las
4:35 – Dobryn – 7/1 @ Bet365 – The selection improved with each of his three starts over hurdles and made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Ludlow in March. This is a much better race but there is plenty to like about the 5-year-old’s profile and he can go well.
Market Rasen
3:20 – Senior Citizen – 5/1 – Gen – A winner first up last season. The 8-year-old is much respected on his close-up 4th of 14 at Newbury in March and 3rd of 26 in the Topham Trophy at Aintree. There is a handicap chase in him off his present mark and goes well on a sound surface.
Cheers
John
