Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Ascot and Haydock.
12:40 – Idefix De Ciergues – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Displayed promise on four bumper outings last season and has performed credibly in two hurdle starts this autumn. The 5-year-old has indicated that a move to around 3m could unlock additional progress, making his handicap hurdle debut an opportunity for further improvement.
1:50 – Cap Du Mathan – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Likely needed his seasonal reappearance when a 6 ¼ length 4th of 9 to Boothill here (2m 1f) last month. The return to further is fine for the 8-year-old who’s on a competitive mark and should go close.
Haydock
3:15 – Bushypark – 11/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 9-year-old isn’t the most reliable of handicappers but on his day he’s capable of winning off his present mark. He’s 2-2 here over hurdles including C&D, 3-6 on heavy ground and more than likely will get an uncontested lead.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas filled with warmth, happiness, and the magic of the season.
I’ll be back on Boxing Day.
Cheers
John
