Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Cheltenham, Fontwell and Punchestown.
Cheltenham
1:45 – Empire De Maulde – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A thorough stayer as he showed when winning over 3m 2f at Kelso last month. Needs a sound surface to be seen at his best but if he gets it will be tough to beat off a 5lb higher mark than last time.
Fontwell
3:10 – Gleno – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Looked the sort to do better over longer trips than 3m when staying to win in the shadow of the post at Chepstow in April over 2m 7 ½ f. Looked and raced liked the run, was needed when a 34-length 2nd of 5 at Exeter 26-days ago. The 9-year-old has won here over hurdles in the past and is 4-9 on good ground so looks set for a big run.
Punchestown
1;30 – Heaven Help Us – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Might be better going left-handed but she has a good chance back against on her own sex on her easy win in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival. Ground should be fine and she has gone well off a layoff in the past. If she’s ready roll on her return for the first time since April should be there or thereabouts.
Cheers
John
