Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Newcastle and Fairyhouse.
Newcastle
3:50 – Hooligan – 5/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Made it 2-2 over hurdles when winning at Wetherby on his seasonal return in November. Didn’t fully convince when stepped up 2m 2f at Exeter (heavy) 72-days ago. The return to 2m looks a positive and the lightly raced 6-year-old has the scope for a bit more improvement.
4:25 – Informateur – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Ran well for a long way when tried over 3m 1f at Catterick last time but just didn’t stay on heavy ground. The drop back to 2m 4f looks a good move and the 8-year-old was beaten just a neck off today’s mark at Carlisle (2m 5f) two starts back. Looks set for a big run here.
Fairyhouse
4:00 – Mattie’s Mountain – 6/1 @ Bet365 & Coral – Seeks the four timer after two wins here (2m) and latterly when stepped up 2m 3f at Limerick 60-days ago. Up 9lb for his last win but he doesn’t win his races by much and it’s hard for the handicapper to get him in his grip. Showed a good attitude to prevail at Limerick and can go well again.
Cheers
John
