Monday Selections – August 23rd 2021

Hi all,

Yesterday is best forgotten about.

It’s the start of a new week and today’s selection are from Chepstow & Ballinrobe.  

Chepstow

1:30 – Mountain Ash – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner over an extended 7f at Lingfield (soft) in May. He hasn’t replicated that level of form on three subsequent starts on quicker ground but wasn’t disgraced when 4th of 14 in the first time cheekpieces at Newbury two starts back. Yard in tremendous form and provided there’s soft in the going description a better run is expected. Yard has its runners in excellent form.

2:30 – Sir Plato – 9/2 @ Bet365 – The 7-year-old goes really well at Chepstow – 4 wins from 8 starts – with the latest of those wins coming here in June, off 1lb lower. Another good effort over a mile here when a 1 ¼ length 4th of 7 last month.

Ballinrobe

5:15 – Varna Gold – 7/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Just 1-10 over hurdles but the selection put in a career best effort when a ¾ length 3rd of 20 over an extended 2m at the Galway Festival last time. Nudged up 2lb for his latest effort but today’s slightly longer trip looks set to suit as he was strong at the finish at Galway.

Cheers

John
