Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Huntingdon and Doncaster.
Huntingdon
3:40 – Thundersockssundae – 9/2 @Coral & Ladbrokes – The 7-year-old placed on his first two starts since joining Fergal O’Brien, both starts over around 2m 4f. Beaten when pulled on his first start over 3m at Wetherby (soft) last month. Had shaped on his previous two starts like he would be suited by the step up to the distance. Worth another try at 3m, on better ground, and on his chase debut.
Doncaster
12:15 – Ahead Of The Field – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner on his second start over fences at Southwell last month. Possibly wasn’t suited by the step up to an extended 3m on softer ground back at the same venue 25-days ago. Surely better than he was able to show last time and a combination of a drop back in trip and a sounder surface can suit the 7-year-old.
4:00 – Get Prepared – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Showed improved form to win on his handicap hurdle at Southwell (good to soft) last month. Not as good on heavy ground when a 19 ½ length 4th of 13 at Huntingdon 33-days ago. He’s just had the six starts over hurdles so is capable of a bit better especially back on a sounder surface.
Cheers
John
