Hi all,
Hardly a great start to the month and there’s a requirement to halt the losing run. Today’s selections are from Wetherby and Wolverhampton.
Wetherby
4:05 – Indian Brave – 8/1 @ Bet365 – Is returning from a long absence. When last seen in action two seasons back he was a progressive handicap chaser having won at Chepstow and Newbury. The 11-year-old was well suited to the mud so underfoot conditions will be fine. Trainer has his horses in decent from and this is his sole runner on the card. If he’s got Indian Brave ready to roll. I think he can win this.
4:40 – Motown Lake – 6/4 @ Bet365 – A faller on his chase debut the selection looked a much different horse for the fitting of the first time cheekpieces when running out a 9-length winner at Uttoxeter (soft) 23-days ago. He jumped soundly that day and given he’s unexposed over the larger obstacles, a 7lb rise in the weights shouldn’t stop him from following up here.
Wolverhampton
8:00 – Clap Your Hands – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection is now down to his last winning mark and put in his best effort since returning from a summer break when a ¾ length 3rd of 7 at Kempton last month. Slight concern that there won’t be much pace in the race but if he gets an even gallop to chase the 6-year-old is handicapped to go close.
Cheers
John
