Hi all
Today’s selections are from Ffos Las & Kempton.
Ffos Las
3:25 – Alkopop – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Twice a winner on heavy ground, over hurdles, in Jan/Feb 2021. The 8-year-old had run well for a long way on his chase debut/seasonal reappearance before falling two out at Wetherby last month. He was likely beaten at the time but it was an encouraging effort given it was his first start since March. Steadily progressive in handicap hurdles last season and capable of progressive over fences.
Kempton
4:30 – Small Print – 9/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The selection had looked better suited by the step up to 7f at Lingfield last month and makes her handicap debut off what looks a workable mark. Likely capable of better and it’s interesting that the owners retained jockey Danny Tudhope comes down for the one ride.
7:00 – Hafeet Alain – 9/4 @ Bet365 – An improving 3-year-old handicapper when trained by Adrian Nicholls. He struggled on three starts in Hong Kong. Returning from 11 months off the track and now with Ed Walker. He improved with each of his three starts last autumn and put in a career best when a head 2nd of 6 on his all-weather debut at Wolverhampton 39-days ago. One from one over a mile, he can race off the same mark as last time and must have a big chance of going one place better.
Cheers
John
