Hi all,

Well the ground seems to be easing all round the country. Better late than never I suppose.  It increasingly looks like the Cheltenham festival going will be more soft than good for Day 1 at least.

Anyway, let’s not carried away with Cheltenham just yet. As I have selections from Wincanton and Thurles for you today.

Wincanton

3:35 – Vis A Vis – 6/5 @ William Hill & Bet365 – The Neil Mulholland has started to hit form after a quiet winter. I am hoping Vis A Vis can continue the stables good form here. Fourth in last years Cesarewitch. The 5-year-old returned from gelding operation and a 128-day absence to make a promising debut over hurdle when 2^nd of 11 at Carlisle 17-days ago. Capable of better and should be fitter for that last run.

Thurles

4:45 – Smoking Gun – 5/2 @ Paddy Power – Made it 3 from 5 over hurdles when putting up a career best when winning at Gowran Park 19-days ago. The selection is 8lb higher now but he’s improving and the step up in trip to 2m 6 ½ f should suit. Any rain would be appreciated according to trainer Joseph O’Brien.

Cheers

John

Wincanton

5:00 – Risk A Fine – 11//10 @ WH or Evens – Gen – Multiple point to point winner. The selection showed his well being when winning a 3m Hunter Chase at Fakenham 12-days ago. Drop to 2m 4f won’t be an issue nor will going right-handed.

Kempton

5:30 – Magicinthemaking – 10/3 @ WH or 3/1 – Gen –  A winner two starts back at Chelmsford over 6f. The mare then went on to finish second back at that venue over 7f. Drop back to 6f won’t be a problem and she’s in form.
