Hi all,
It was a late decision to add Springfield Fox to the Friday selections, but it paid off as he turned out to be the sole winner on the day.
Newcastle
2:10 – What’s the Scoop – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Islightly raced over fences for a 10-year-old. Finished runner-up over C&D two starts back and then followed up with a win again over C&D. Up 6lb, but he goes well on heavy ground and could be up to defying his new mark.
3:55 – Thor De Cerisy – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Made all to win a heavy ground maiden hurdle over C&D two starts back. Ran too bad to be true on his handicap debut at Ffos Las 16-days later. Has had a wind-op since so if the procedure has had the desired effect, he can hopefully build on the promise of his win. Trainer Michael Scudamore’s last three runners have won, and he had a double on Friday.
Kempton
4:10 – Keep Wondering – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Left some moderate hurdling form well behind, when winning on his chase debut at Ffos Las 23-days ago. Has been raised 10lb for that success and faces a different type of test today on a sharper track and likely much better ground. However, he had plenty in hand last time and is a handicap chaser on the upgrade. Can win again if the sounder surface isn’t an inconvenience.
Cheers
John
