Hi all,
Had to settle for a couple of seconds on Sunday. Here’s hoping for more luck today.
Plumpton
4:10 – Shambra – 11/2 @ William Hill – Returns from 132 day lay off but if fully fit has a good chance to add to her two wins over hurdles as a juvenile. A win after a 114-day lay off suggests she should be straight enough here. The mare can race off the same mark as when beaten a neck at Fontwell last November.
Windsor
3:30 – Mr Top Hat – 11/2 @ William Hill & Paddy Power – Others come into this 1m 2f handicap in better form than the selection, but the top-weight is just 1lb higher than for a win on soft ground at Chester back in May and he’s also won on heavy ground. First time blinker tried today and with going to suit he’s got a good chance dropping into Class company.
4:00 – Prince Of Harts – 9/2 – Gen – The selection ran well on testing ground in the spring winning at Nottingham on good to soft, off 7lb lower and earlier had finished runner up, on soft ground, at the same venue. No match for easy winner Flashcard when runner-up at Ascot when last seen 86-days ago. The form of that race is strong, and it was a Class 2 handicap, and this is a Class 4. Well-being must be taken on trust, but he did win first time up this season off an even longer absence.
Cheers
John
