Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Aintree and the Curragh.
2:40 – Hitman – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Trainer Paul Nicholls thinks he can win in Grade 1 company this season and although he carries top weight here a mark of 159 looks a winnable one. He’s had a wind-op since finishing runner-up to Fakir D’oudairies in the Grade 1 Marsh Chase over C&D in April.
Curragh
3:45 – Beamish – 15/8 – Gen – The favourite comes into the race fresher than most with 2-wins from 4 runs this season. An excellent head 3rd of 9 to Duke De Sessa in the Group 3 Paddy Power Stakes at Leopardstown (1m 4f) 43 days ago. Steps up to 2m here but stays 1m ¾ f and goes well on soft ground.
Cheers
John
