Hi all,
Things didn’t go to plan on Friday. Here’s hoping for better today but it looks competitive
Today’s selections are from Ascot, Huntingdon, and Wolverhampton.
Ascot
12:55 – Young Bull – 3/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Finished third behind one of today’s rivals Demachine in what looks like it was a good novices’ handicap chase at Uttoxeter. The selection might well have needed the run more than the winner and he’s entitled to get closer on 9lb better terms for a 7 ½ length beating. The step up to 3m should also be in his favour and I think he can win this.
Huntingdon
1:23 – Sizing Cusimano – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes Showed ability in four starts over fences last season and was steadily progressive on RPR’s. Was racing at around 3m last season and returns over 2m 4f here. A mark of 118 looks workable and the first time cheekpieces and the booking of Tom Scudamore for his seasonal return look positives for his chance today.
Wolverhampton
4:30 – Beau Geste – 13/8 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection is 3-4 here, including C&D. Was doing his best work at the finish when 3rd of 14 at Kempton (1m) 19-days ago. The 4-year-old could be slightly better over a furlong further but the return to the tapeta is a positive as is the booking of Tom Marquand.
Cheers
John
