Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Cheltenham and Kelso.
Cheltenham
1:30 – Rexam – 5/2 @ Bet365 – An improving novice hurdler who bids for the hat trick after wins at Downpatrick and Killarney. Yard had a double here yesterday and have taken the last two running’s of this race.
3:15 – Clear The Runway – 4/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The 6-year-old returned from a four month absence to make it 5 wins from 7 starts over fences. This is a deeper race on a very different track, but he remains very much on the upgrade.
5:00 – Strong Leader – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Is bred to win over jumps and the 5-year-old couldn’t have been more impressive when making a winning racecourse debut at Warwick in May. He produced an excellent turn of foot to win at Warwick and looks a useful prospect.
Kelso
4:00 – Edmond Dantes – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Made a winning start to his chase career at Market Rasen (2m 3f) in February and has occupied the runner-up spot on his last two starts. Doesn’t lack pace so the drop back to 2m 1f shouldn’t inconvenience the 6-year-old and if he’s ready to roll after a summer break can win this.
Cheers
John
