Hi all
One good winner in Espoir De Guye but two other poor selections on Friday. On to Saturday and today’s selections run at Chepstow, Navan & Wetherby.
Chepstow
1:55 – Looks Like Power – 9/2 @ Bet365 – It maybe worth taking a chance with Looks Like Power in the Coral Welsh Grand National Trial. The 9-year-old is a bit of Chepstow specialist with form figures 2113, with both wins coming at around 3m. Returns from a 244-day break, 0 wins from 7 runs 2 placed so no record fresh which is a slight negative but the softer the ground, the better his chance.
Navan
1:05 – Gran Geste – 6/1 @ Bet365 or 11/2 – Gen – The selection looked a well handicapped hurdler when winning over 2m 6f at Galway 41-days ago. The handicapper has raised the 6-year-old 8lb for that decisive win but he’s capable of more progress stepped up to 3m and looks the one they all have to beat.
Wetherby
2:50 – Cash To Ash – 4/1 – Gen – The 6-year-old has yet to shed his maiden tag after 8 career starts, four over fences, but surely a win can’t be far away. He put in a career best when runner-up at Market Rasen 16-days ago. Can race off the same mark today and has a big chance here today with ground set to suit.
Cheers
John
