Hi all,
High Fibre came out the wrong side of photo after being beaten a nose in the last race at Newmarket yesterday. Today’s selections are from Newmarket and Cheltenham.
Newmarket
4:45 – Tylos – The Crisford yard is 4-11 (36%) in the past 14-days and I’m hoping they can have another winner here with top-weight Tylos. The selection finished runner-up on first two juvenile starts before improving again to a Wolverhampton novice. Back for the first time since August and is open to further improvement for the step up to a mile on his handicap debut.
Cheltenham
4:25 – Last Royal – Recent easy Wincanton winner Lord Royal looks interesting on his handicap hurdle debut off a mark of 122. The 7-year-old’s last win came on soft ground but he won a bumper on good ground so shouldn’t be inconvenienced by underfoot conditions. Stamina for 3m not guaranteed for this full brother to Honeysuckle shapes like it will suit.
5:00 – Herbiers – The top-weight is 5lb higher than for his Doncaster success three starts back but has run well on both starts since and wasn’t disgraced when 12 length 9th of 23 in Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle here last time. Two from 5 on good ground and with a useful amateur taking off a handy 7lb off the top-weights back, the 5-year-old should be in the mix.
Cheers
John
