Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Newcastle and Leicester.
Newcastle
4:55 – Haunted Dream – 7/1 @ Bet365 – Top weight Military March finished fourth in the 2020 2,000 Guineas and could be well treated on his return from 999 day absence. However, a chance is taken with the consistent Haunted Dream who’s placed in three valuable 1m 2f turf handicaps this summer and wasn’t disgraced when 8th of 34 in the Cambridgeshire Handicap last time. The 4-year-old has won at 1m 4f in the past and is 4-6, 6 places on the all-weather including a win on the tapeta.
Leicester
5:10 – Marshall Dan – 7/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Won at Newbury (heavy) last October, off 2lb higher, and looked as good as ever when a 1 ¼ length 3rd of 12 at Redcar on seasonal reappearance in April. The 8-year-old hasn’t been in the same form on five subsequent starts, but he hinted like he might be returning to form when a 5 ½ length 6th of 13 at Salisbury 12 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time and he’s handily weighted if the headgear has the desired effect.
Cheers
John
