Hi all,
Another poor day at the office on Sunday. I’m hopeful of better on Monday. Today’s selection as from Fontwell, Carlisle and Wolverhampton.
Fontwell
1:50 – Foxboro – 3/1 @ Bet365 – The selection has been running well of late. A close-up second at Wincanton two starts back. He ran arguably just as well when a 1 ½ length 3rd of 7 to Falco Blitz in a slightly better handicap chase at Kempton last time. There are races to be won with the 7-year-old. Hopefully starting here,
Carlisle
3:20 – Cornerstone Lad – 7/1 @ Bet365 – A very useful hurdler back in the day winning the 2019 Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle. The 8-year-old hadn’t really put it altogether on his first five starts over the larger obstacles. However, it all clicked for him when be beat four rivals at Wetherby last time. He’s only been raised 3lb for that success and with confidence hopefully restored he can go in again.
Wolverhampton
8:30 – International Law – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Isn’t the most consistent of horses but this former C&D winner is now below his last winning mark and shaped like his turn was near when a ½ length 2nd of 10 over C&D in December. He bounced back from an underwhelming effort at Newcastle with a much better effort when a ½ 2nd of 11 back at that venue last time. A wide draw in 11 to overcome but there’s a race in the 8-year-old when all the cards fall right.
Cheers
John
