Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Chepstow and Clonmel.
Chepstow
3:20 – Caswell Bay – 11/2 @ Paddy Power & Ladbrokes – Last season was season to forget for connections of the selection. However, the 7- year-old returned from a 10-month absence with an encouraging 11 ¾ lengths 5th of 9 to the progressive Green Book at Haydock 19-days ago. That performance came over an inadequate 1m 7 ½ f and he’s better suited to further. A C&D winner in January 2020 on heavy ground, off 4lb higher. He will be sharper for his Haydock return and can go well.
3:50 – Destin D’ajonc – 9/2 @ Bet365 – Another previous C&D winner in the mud. The 9-year-old won over C&D in February off 1lb lower. Back from a wind operation. He shaped nicely enough on his seasonal return when 5th of 10 at Uttoxeter last month. The run will have been needed last time and he’s the pick here.
Clonmel
1:20 – Belle Lurette – 6/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – I’m going to take on the short-priced favourite here with Belle Lurette. The mare had shown promise in bumpers in the spring but had struggled on her first three starts in maiden company. She shaped much better when a 16 ¾ lengths 5th of 16 on handicap debut here last month. There is a race in her off a mark of around 87.
Cheers
John
