Friday Selections – February 5th 2021

Hi all,

Dundalk

4:00 – Drish Venture – 5/2 – Gen – Improved to win a nursery here in December (6f) and followed up dropped down to 5f in a non-handicap here 7-days ago. Takes on the older horses for the first time but is inform and on the upgrade.

4:30 – The Mouse Doctor – 9/1 – Gen – A winner over C&D last season off 2lb higher was only beaten a neck over C&D two starts back. Didn’t seem to stay over 2m here last time and should be better suited to a return to 1m 4f. Connections opt to take off a handy 7lb which could make all the difference.

Newcastle

6:15 – Athollblair Boy – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selections last win came over C&D, 12 months ago, off 9lb higher. Returned from a 129-day layoff to finish an encouraging 4th of 9 over C&D 13-days ago. Should be fitter for that run and should be able to win a race off his present mark.

Cheers

John
