Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Ayr, Kempton, and Wolverhampton. I’m off tomorrow so let’s hope we can sign out with a winner.
Ayr
2:45 – Le Chevel Noir – 100/30 – Gen – Twice a winner over hurdles last season at Carlisle and Newcastle. The selection is bred to do better over fences than hurdles and shaped with encouragement when 4th of 11 at Carlisle on his seasonal return last month. Today’s step up to 3m can suit, won over 2m 6f over hurdles.
Kempton
3:00 – Rumi – 100/30 @ Bet365 – A winner here over 1m 3f two starts back. The 3-year-old looked in need of further when 2nd of 7 here (1m 4f) last time. He’s just had the five starts so remains with potential for the step up to 2m.
Wolverhampton
6:00 – Pomelo – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Looked a very useful prospect when winning over C&D last November. She was well beaten on her sole start in 2021 in the valuable Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. The soft ground probably didn’t suit her that day but her long absence since suggests that wasn’t the only reason for her poor run. The return to the Tapeta looks a positive and she’s open to more progress.
Cheers
John
