Hi all,
Today’s two selections are from Haydock & Musselburgh.
Haydock
1:30 – Barton Knoll – 6/1 @ Bet365 – A previous C&D winner. The better the ground the better his chance, all four career wins have come on good ground – 4 wins from 16 starts +24.50 8 placed (0-7 1 place on all other going). The 9-year-old returned from a winter break to finish an encouraging 5th behind Umbrigdo at Newbury last month. The top-weight should be sharper for that run and can close.
Musselburgh
2:25 – Forest Falcon – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection made all to win at York on his final start as 2-year-old and the son of Raven’s Pass has the size and scope to make a better 3-year-old. His prominent style of racing is suited to the track and he has a handy draw in stall 2. A mark of 83 looks workable and I will be surprised if he can’t rate higher as the season progresses.
Cheers
John
