Hi all,
Wins by Life Isfor Living & Delta Work made it an excellent Saturday for the service. Can we continue the winning festive run on Sunday?
Kelso
2:00 – Smiths Cross – 7/1 – Gen – Trainer Michael Scudamore normally makes his visits to the Scottish track a winning one. In the past 5-years he’s had 5 winners from 12 runners 42% +14.57. He has just the one runner here today in Smiths Cross. The 7-year-old had made a promising chase debut at Carlisle but has disappointed on both starts since. The step up in distance to 2m 6 ½ f should suit and if bouncing back to the form of his Carlisle run is more than capable of winning a race like this.
Doncaster
2:45 – Boldmere – 7/2 @ William Hill – The selection takes a step up in class here after his recent win at Leicester. This is just the 6-year-old’s third start over the larger obstacles but he’s going the right way and a 10lb rise in the handicap may not stop him winning again. Stamina for 3m will be tested but he will be tough to beat.
Leopardstown
3:05 – Cavalry Master – 4/1 @ Unibet & Paddy Power – Represents the inform Henry De Bromhead stable. The trainer won this race in 2016 and Cavalry Master comes into the race after a battling win in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month. The 5-year-old should develop into a good chaser in time but he’s capable of winning a race like this over hurdles. Makes his handicap hurdle debut and is open to plenty of improvement for this step up to 2m 4 ½ f.
Cheers
John
