Hi all,
Another disappointing day at the office. Let’s hope we can turn that around today. Today’s selections are from Ascot and Haydock.
Ascot
12:40 – Imphal – 15/2 @ Bet365 – The selection shaped like he remains on a winnable mark when a 4 length third of 13 at Lingfield last time. Was set too much to do by a 10lb conditional that day and was staying on well all the way to the line. Can go close provided the ground isn’t to testing.
1:15 – L’Homme Presse – 9/4 @ Bet365 – Just the four starts over hurdles. The 6-year-old had been expected to do much better over fences than the smaller obstacles and so it proved when he made a winning chase debut at Exeter 15-days ago. He jumped nicely for a novice and can be expected to go progress further with experience. He takes on higher rated and more experience rivals in this Graduation Chase but looks a good prospect for the inform Venetia Williams yard.
Haydock
2:05 – Up For Parol – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The inform Jeremy Snowden yard 4-14 in the past 14-days and 7 -18 here at Haydock in the past five years saddles Up For Parol. The selection won twice over hurdles in the spring at Wetherby and Ffos Las. He possibly needed the run when 3rd of 7 in the Grade 2 Persian War Hurdle at Chepstow on his seasonal return. A disappointing 11/8 favourite on his chase debut at Ffos Las 41-days ago. There could be excuses for that performance though as he lost a shoe and suffered a leg wound. Interesting returned to hurdles
Cheers
John
