Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Wincanton.
Wincanton
2:40 – Crossing The Bar – 100/30 & Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Has just had the two starts over hurdles and the 4-year-old was a good 3 ¾ length 3rd of 8 at Ffos Las last time. Open to further improvement and makes his handicap hurdle debut off what looks a winnable mark of 108.
3:15 – Mont Des Avaloirs – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection is back from a 455-day absence here. A useful hurdler, the 9-year-old is 0-5 over fences but he’s shown enough to think he can be competitive off a mark of 137. Looked booked for second when taking a crashing fall at Chepstow when last seen in action. Ground should be fine and trainer Paul Nicholls saddled the winner of this 12 months ago.
3:50 – Storm Force Ben – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Looks to be effective in the mud so should enjoys today’s underfoot conditions. The 8-year-old remains a maiden after 11 starts under rules. Has run well on both starts since going chasing this season, including when finishing 3rd of 17 over an extended 3m 6f at Exeter last time. That was Class 3 handicap this is Class 5 contest so hopefully he can take advantage of the ease in grade.
Cheers
John
