Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Market Rasen & Thurles.
Market Rasen
12:52 – Go Chique – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The mare won a handicap hurdle at Southwell in April over today’s distance and made a pleasing return to action 6th of 8 at Ascot, over an inadequate 2m 3 ½ f, 19-days ago. The return to 2m 7f will suit, as will the good ground.
1.22 – Thunderstruck – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 7-year-old comfortably won a novice handicap hurdle at Fontwell in May. And has run equally as well on both starts this autumn. Given he jumped markedly to the right he did well to finish a ½-length 2nd of 6 at Uttoxeter last month. Nudged up another 3lb for that effort makes life tougher but the good ground is a definite positive.
Thurles
2:00 – Kilkenny Star – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Looked on a stiff mark on his handicap hurdle debut but ran well to finish a 7 ½ length 4th of 20 at Punchestown at last month. The 6-year would have finished closer but didn’t get the best of run coming to two out and made a mistake at the last. Doing his best work at the finish there’s surely a race to be won.
Cheers
John
