Hi all,
Wins by Rosie Bassett & Gabbys Cross gave us a short-priced double on Thursday. It seems so long since I have been able to use the word double. Today’s selections are from Uttoxeter, Fakenham & Dundalk.
Uttoxeter
14:53 – Easy Bucks – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 5-year-old has improved for going chasing. Runner-up at Plumpton on his debut over larger obstacles and last time out ran out a comfortable winner here over an extended 2m 6 ½ f. Steps up in class and distance but looks well in even under a 7lb penalty.
Fakenham
3:40 – Sir Jack Yeats – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Won a C&D hunter chase back in March 2019. Ran well on his first start for 194-days when 4th of 11 at Uttoxeter 21-days ago. The 9-year-old should be sharper for that run and if the ground isn’t too quick should give a good account.
Dundalk
6:45 – Crystal Dawn – 7/4 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Won off 7lb lower here over 6f back in August and ran a solid race to finish 4th of 12 at Fairyhouse last month. Shaped that day like a step up 7f could suit. Colin Keane booked for the 4-year-old and he’s expected to go close here.
Cheers
John
