Hi all,
A slow start to the week and after two days’ without selections I’m back with a bang today. Or maybe not as there are inspections at all but one of today’s meetings.
There were six on my initial short list, but I have whittled them down to three.
Newcastle
1:17 – Ladroone – 11/4 @ Bet365 – The 8-year-old bounced back to winning ways at Wetherby in October and progressed further when successful at Catterick 20-days ago. Up a further 4lb but capable of landing the hat trick given his present vein of form.
Taunton
2:38 – Ilanz – 11/8 @ Bet365 – A bumper winner at Market Rasen in June (good). The 4-year-old shaped well enough on first two starts over hurdles before getting off the mark at back at Market Rasen 7-days ago. Doesn’t have to carry a penalty, as that was a conditional jockey race, and will be hard to beat.
Chelmsford
8:00 – Luna Queen – 4/1 @ Bet365 – A winner at Lingfield in August from 2lb lower. The 3-year-old bounced back to form from two lesser runs when a 1 ¾ length 3rd of 9 at Lingfield 19-days ago. Off the same mark here and the blinkers are replaced by the first time cheekpieces.
Cheers
John
