Hi all,
Hardly a good start to the Christmas racing but hopefully there’s a winner lurking among today’s three selections.
Newcastle
6:35 – Lomu – 9/5 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportbook – The 6-year-old’s last win came off 3lb higher at Wolverhampton 12 months ago. Has been knocking on his last two starts at Chelmsford and Lingfield. Was beaten a length into 5th in Class 2 handicap off today’s mark at Lingfield, 9-days ago. Big chance if replicating that form in this company.
Catterick
3:07 – Toi Storey – 5/1 @Bet365 – Won this corresponding race 12 months ago. Not in the same form since but is now 10lb lower than last year and looks capable of a much better performance today.
Limerick
1:35 – Dessie Deschamps – 9/2 @ Bet365 – Would probably have won handicap hurdle at Navan last time but for mistakes at the final two hurdles. Nudged up a 1lb but is a winnable mark. Second reserve here but if he gets in can go close.
Cheers
John
