Hi all,
Three selections on Monday, one from Ripon and two from Epsom.
Ripon
4:30 – Fayez – 3/1 @ William Hill & Paddy Power – Alfred Richardson appeals at the prices with Osin Murphy a significant looking jockey booking. However. I am sticking with Fayez who put in a career best when winning at Goodwood 27-days ago. Drops back 2 furlongs in trip here but is progressive and has won three times around Ripon which is a big bonus. Trainer David O’Meara won this race in 2014 & 2016 and has a good chance of another success.
Epsom
2:30 – Golden Parade -7/2 @ William Hill & Bet365 – The selection comes into the race in great form having won at Wolverhampton and Doncaster before finishing runner-up in a big field at Redcar 16-days ago. Made all to win for his latest two wins and this track should play to his strengths in that regard. He’s the one for me.
3:40 – Mistiroc – 9/2 @ William Hill & Paddy Power – You have to go back 3-year for the selections last win, but he’s run plenty of decent races in that time. He’s well handicapped on the best of his form including when 2nd of 14 at Doncaster back in April. Top Irish amateur Jamie Codd is an eye-catching jockey booking and he and trainer John Quinn teamed up to win this race in 2016.
I’m off tomorrow, so my next selections will be on Wednesday.
Cheers
John
