Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Cork & Fairyhouse.
Cork
4:57 – Han Solo – 13/2 @ Bet365 – The selection’s sole career win came here over a mile in September 2020. The 6-year-old looks competitively weighted on the best of last season’s form. A wide draw in stall 13 isn’t ideal but not insurmountable.
Fairyhouse
3:30 – Falcon Eight – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection had to miss the Alberta Bartlett Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival on account of the rain softened ground. Last season’s Chester Cup winner on the flat remains capable of much better, just his third start over hurdles, and the visor he wore when winning at Chester is given a go for the first time over hurdles. The better the ground the better his chance.
4:05 – Flame Bearer – 15/8 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Bids for hat trick after wins over C&D and an improved effort when winning a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Naas 35-days ago Granted the selection must give weight away to his seven rivals but he’s progressing well and could prove to be competitive in Grade 1 company.
Cheers
John
