Hi all,
York
3:45 – Ironclad – 4/1 @ William Hill- Caught the eye when runner-up at Chelmsford two starts back and won like a 4/5 chance should at Beverley 24-Days ago. The 3-year-old makes his handicap debut off a workable mark of 81. Trainer Hugo Palmer’s horses are getting better than they were and the Dubawi colt is bred to win better races than this. He should get a decent pace to chase here and looks a horse worth keeping onside in handicaps.
Chester
8:00 – Zeyzoun – 5/1 – Gen – The selection is a rare Chester runner for Newmarket trainer Chris Wall. Despite his age the 5-year-old doesn’t have many miles on the clock, just the 13 runs. No wins in 8 runs for the trainer but did win a soft ground maiden when trained in France. He made a promising seasonal reappearance at Doncaster in May and built on that when a ½ length 3rd of 12 at Nottingham off 1lb lower. A step back up 7f should be in his favour and he can go close if the ground isn’t too quick as his best performances seem to have occurred with some juice in the ground.
Ffos Las
6:40 – Marble Moon – 3/1 – Gen – Twice a winner here over hurdles.The selection looked a shade unlucky and probably should have won beaten just a head at Newton Abbot seven days ago. Drops back 2f here but this more galloping track will suit the 7-year-old. Races off the same mark as at Newton Abbot and has obvious claims of going one better today.
Cheers
John
