Hi all,
Today’s selections are from York, Newmarket, and Aintree.
York
3:00 – Rogue Bear – 9/4 @ Bet365 – The selection has developed into a consistent handicapper. Third of 22 in the Lincoln Handicap on his seasonal reappearance, doing best of those drawn high. He did even better on his next start when a ½ length 3rd of 17 in the Newbury Spring Cup. He’s been nudged up 2lb but the step up to 1m 2f looks worth a go and he’s a worthy favourite.
Newmarket
2:15 – Bad Company – 17/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 5-year-olddoesn’t’ have much in hand of the handicapper but he wins his share of races 5-17 on turf and posted a career best on RPR’s when a ¾ length 2nd of 10 to Soto Sizzler over C&D last October. Not at his best on either start in 2022 but there’s a good chance he will get an uncontested lead here.
Aintree
7:35 – Empire De Maulde – 4/1 @ Bet365 – A winner over C&D last June and at Kelso, off 2lb lower, in October. Off for four months, the 8-year-old will be sharper for a recent spin over hurdles. He does need genuinely good ground to be at his best but that seems likely today.
Cheers
John
