Hi all,
Phew, Punk Poet got us back among the winners at Dundalk yesterday and it looked like it might be two with Young Butler finishing a close-up second at Exeter. Today’s selections are from Kempton and Fairyhouse.
Kempton
1:50 – Impulsive One – 6/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The selection impressed when putting a career best on RPR’s when winning at Musselburgh 20-days ago. A right-handed, sharpish track seems to suit him. The drier the ground the better and he won’t be far away here.
4:10 – Herbiers – 6/1 @ Bet365 or 11/2 @ Paddy Power – Made it 4-8 over hurdles when winning at Doncaster (2m 3 ½ f) 91-days ago. That was the 5-year-old’s first start beyond an extended 2m. Step up to 2m 5f asks a new question of him stamina wise but he remains progressive and despite a 7lb rise in the weights can be competitive.
Fairyhouse
3:08 – Enniskerry – 7/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The selection who is 2-4 over hurdles put in a career best when a ½ length 2nd of 10 to M C Muldoon at Galway 212-days ago. Long absence to overcome but the yard is 3-4 in the past 14-days so no concerns on stable from. Best form last spring/summer came on a sound surface but if he’s as effective on today’s softer ground. He’s of plenty of interest on his handicap hurdle debut.
Cheers
John
