Hi all,
The Mouse Doctor was given a great ride by 7lb apprentice Siobhan Rutledge to give the service a good profit on Friday. Today’s selections are from Leopardstown, Sandown & Kempton.
Leopardstown
1:05 – Gaillard Du Mesnil – 9/4 @ William Hill – The 5-year-old made a promising debut for Willie Mullins when 2nd of 20 at Punchestown back in November. He built on that initial promise when winning a maiden hurdle here (2m 4f) 40-days ago. He’s open to plenty more improvement for the step up to 2m 6f and looks a solid favourite.
Sandown
1:50 – Messire Des Obeaux – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Coral – Made it 2-2 over fences when winning a rescheduled Dipper Novices’ Chase at Wincanton last time. Has won on soft, although heavy is a bit of an unknown, he should be fine on the ground. He won’t be going to Cheltenham so this looks an ideal opportunity to land a Grade 1.
Kempton
5:20 – My Law – 13/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The mare won over C&D in December, off 6lb lower and was only beaten ½ length over C&D 10-days ago. Solid claims again from a handy enough draw in stall five.
Cheers
John
