Hi all,
Today’s selections are spread around three racecourses across Britain & Ireland.
Musselburgh
1:50 – Dumfries – 7/2 @ Bet365 – A rare Musselburgh runner for Marcus Tregoning, his first in the last five years. The colt got off the mark at the fourth attempt when making a winning return to action in a Southwell maiden last month. That was an improved performance and if he can replicate that improvement on grass won’t be far away on handicap debut.
Haydock
3:15 – Hyland – 7/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Returned from a 12 week absence with 1 ¼ length 2nd of 7 at Newbury last month. The step up to 3m suited the 6-year-old at Newbury and although he’s been nudged up 3lb he remains with handicap scope now that Nicky Henderson knows he stays the trip. Another who will appreciate any drying ground.
Fairyhouse
4:30 – Western Walk – 7/1 @ Ladbrokes & Paddy Power – Made a winning debut for new trainer Jonathan Sweeney when winning a Naas maiden (2m 6 ½ f) last month. That was the 6-year-old’s first start in over 9 months so there could be more to come from him for the step up to 3m on handicap debut.
Cheers
John
