Hi all
Emmpressive Lady’s win at Kempton means two winning days for the service and it seems a long time since I have been able to say that. Ok. Its just a small profit but its better than a 3pt loss.
Today’s selections are from Catterick, Leopardstown and Limerick.
Catterick
12:10 – Bitasweetsymphony – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Has made a good start since going over fences this autumn winning at the third attempt at Bangor 18-days ago. Up 9lb for that success but the 6-year-old is a handicap chaser on the up.
Leopardstown
12:35 – Priory Park – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection showed improved form on his first start for 6 months when winning an 18-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles last month. Up 8lb for his last win but was value for more than the ¾ margin of victory suggests and as a 5-year-old is open to more progress.
Limerick
2:40 – Espanito Bello – 10/1 @ Bet365 or 15/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – This valuable handicap chase looks a good starting point for Longhouse Poet although I wonder if he’ll be better over further. A chance is taken with the selection who did well over fences last season. A winner of a beginners’ chase at Naas the 7-year-old then ran Coko Beach to 4-lengths in a Grade 2 novice chase at the same venue. Poor return over hurdles last month but better expected back over the larger obstacles. If he can cut on the errors, he looks on a handy mark.
Cheers
John
