Hi all,
A frustrating day on Thursday for the service. However, I think we can get back to winning ways today. Friday’s selections are from Warwick, Hexham and Dundalk.
Warwick
2:30 – Mercutio Rock – 100/30 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Not seen out since an eyecatching 12 lengths 4th of 12 in a Uttoxeter novice hurdle last December. Looked the sort to do well when going handicapping and makes his handicap debut here off a workable mark of 110. This will be the 5-year-old’s first start on ground better than soft but if handles he should go close here.
Hexham
12:30 – Lord Caprio – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 6-year-old gained his second C&D success two starts back and confirmed that he remains in form when a 5 ¼ lengths 3rd of 9 at Sedgefield last month. Not ideally placed last time and Hexham’s stiffer track plays more to his strengths. Kevin Brogan takes off a handy 3lb and I will be disappointed if the selection can’t add a third C&D win today.
Dundalk
6:45 – Rosie Rock – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Remains a maiden after 11 runs but she’s been knocking on the door on her last two starts over C&D. Needs a strong pace to chase, stall 13 isn’t ideal, but if the race is set up for the closers and the pace forecast suggests it could then she’s got a great chance of belated first career success.
Cheers
John
