Hi all,
A pretty dreadful run of form for the service that’s for sure but like at the beginning of September we will soon bounce back into profit. Today’s three selections run at Ffos Las and Leopardstown.
Ffos Las
4:15 – Monsieur Lecoq – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Looks a worthy favourite. A winner of a heavy ground C&D maiden last December. He then went on to win at Sandown before finishing 2nd of 13 back at the same track. Probably found the County Hurdle at Cheltenham came to quick after his Sandown run when only 10th of 24. Just 3lb higher than in the Imperial Cup he’s capable of better this season and with ground to suit can make a winning seasonal reappearance.
Leopardstown
3:05 – Faster – 8/1 @ Bet365 & William Hill – The selection goes well on soft ground, but his losing run goes back to September 2017. Shaped like he could win a handicap like this, in the spring and was an encouraging 6th off 11 at the Curragh six days ago. Gavin Ryan takes off a useful 5lb which could prove vital.
4:10 – Future Proof – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 4-year-old carries top-weight here but he he’s 3lb lower than when 4th of 14 at Naas back in April. Probably needed the run when 4th over hurdles at Galway 33-days ago. Trainer Noel Meade’s runner remain in good form and with Gavin Ryan taking off 5lb, the selection should be bang there at the finish.
Cheers
John
