Hi all,
Lingfield
2:50 – Lady Bergamot – 11/2 @ William Hill – The mare did well to finish as close as she did in 5th in a listed race over 1m 5f here 65 days ago. Drops back 1f here but that shouldn’t be an issue and she will be more at home back in handicap company.
Kempton
6:40 – Astromachia – 7/2 @ Bet365 – The selection was runner-up to one of today’s rivals Rainbow Dreamer over C&D 24-days ago. He goes well here form figures 112 at the track and at the revised weights has a chance of reversing places with his old rival. Joe Fanning is 3 wins from 3 rides on the 5-year-old the returns in the saddle which is a positive.
Newcastle
1:30 – Domaine De L’isle – 11/4 @ Paddy Power – I fancied the selection for a handicap chase at Sandown so it’s interesting that trainer Sean Curran sends him up to Newcastle for this race. A winner over France when trained in France he didn’t seem to stay three miles on his stable debut, over hurdles, back in the spring. The 6-year-old built on the promise of his seasonal reappearance at Newbury with an impressive win at Chepstow 28-days ago. Up 10lb but he’s the scope to better over fences. Slight concern about the step back up to 3m on testing ground but if he stays, he should win, and connections have booked Brian Hughes for the ride.
Cheers
John
