Hi all,
An excellent Thursday with Defi Du Seuil & Siruh Du Lac giving the service 2 winners from 2 runners. The latter put in an excellent jumping performance and found plenty to hold of his rivals.
Onto Friday and I have one selection from Cheltenham and one from Fakenham.
Cheltenham
3:30 – Presenting Percy – 4/1 @ William Hill & Bet365 – Has had a very unorthodox preparation for the race just the one run, due to the quick ground over in Ireland, when winning the Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran Park 50-days ago. Hasn’t jumped a fence since running out an impressive winner in last years RSA Novices’ Chase. He also won the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle here in 2017. He likes the track 2 wins from 2 run and and is 4 wins from 5 runs on soft ground. Needs to improve to win this but has the potential to be a high-class chaser.
Fakenham
3:55 – Potters Midnight – 3/1 @ Ladbrokes & William Hill – Won this race last year off 10lb lower and is 2 wins from 5 runs around here. The mare returned from a 230-day break to win at Lingfield back in January and followed that up with a good 3rd at Market Rasen 26-days ago. Seems effective on good ground through to heavy and must be respected returned to Fakenham.
Cheers
John
