Hi all,
The start of a new month. Today’s selections are from Leicester and Dundalk. It’s April Fools Day, I just hope my selections don’t make me look the fool.
Leicester
3:20 – Sea Sylph – 5/1 @ Bet365 – The selection is having her first start since switching from William Haggas to Alan King. Twice a winner last season, including on her seasonal reappearance in June. Poor final run last season when upped into Listed company at Bath but she’s better judged on her previous run when winning at Bath off 2lb lower. Despite reservations about soft ground she’s the pick.
4:25 – Dashing Dick – 9/1 @ Bet365 – Plenty of consistent efforts last season from the 4-year-old with his sole success coming over today’s distance at Yarmouth, off 3lb lower. Best efforts came on good ground but he does seem to handle good to soft. Likely needed the run when a 7-length 7th of 8 to The at Kempton 20-days ago.
Dundalk
8:20 – Storm Eliza – 17/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection’s sole career win came over C&D in January 2021, off 1lb higher. The mare returns for the first time for 288-days and if she ready to roll after her long absence is handicapped to go close. Her small yard are 1-2 in the past 14-days which gives me hope she can go well.
Cheers
John
