Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Newbury and Haydock.
Newbury
1:50 – Stowell – 13/2 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Looked a useful stayer in the making when coming from behind to finish a 2 ¾ length 3rd of 13 to Kemari in last season’s Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot. He ran poorly when last of 5 to Yibir in a Group 3 at Newmarket the following month and hasn’t been seen since. Lightly raced for his age, just the four career starts, the 4-year-old remains with the potential to do better this season.
2:25 – Jumbly – 7/2 @ Bet365 & Coral – The filly comfortably won the Listed Radley Stakes over C&D on her final juvenile start. The ground was soft last time but if she doesn’t need that sort of ground, she looks well worth her place back in Pattern company and can go close.
Haydock
3:19 – First Impression – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection jumped well and improved to win a Wetherby handicap hurdle (good to soft) in good style back in November. Has remained in form over hurdles since finishing third (beaten 8 ½ lengths) to Tommy’s Oscar at Musselburgh and runner-up to Mick Maestro at Catterick. Fitness assured after a run on the flat at Pontefract 11-days ago and the 5-year-old’s form figures are 121 when returning within 15-days of his last start.
Cheers
John
