Hi all,
A win by Alternative Fact (7/1) meant a nice profit for the service on Friday. Today I have two selections from Ascot and one from Ayr.
Ascot
2:45 – Adjali – 11/2 @ William Hill – Won his first start for Nicky Henderson last season. The 4-year-old didn’t really improve much on his debut win, but he was racing mostly in Grade 1 company in subsequent races. Drops into handicap company here and the trainer did win this race in 2014. Any easing of the ground enhances his chance.
3:20 – Vinndication – 7/2 – Gen – The selection won two of his four start over fences and finished 3rd of 5 in Grade 1 behind Defi Du Seuil and Lostintranslation at Sandown in February. Not so good in the JLT at the Cheltenham festival but he’s better going this way around. Two from two on his previous starts here and is 2-2 when returning from a 121-day break. Yet to race beyond 2m 6f but shouldn’t have any stamina issues over 3m. Plenty to like about his chance.
Ayr
3:25 – Fanfan Du Seuil – 7/2 @ Paddy Power – Won a juvenile hurdle at Exeter last November and put in a career best when 5th of 21 in the Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Ended last season when down the field in a Grade 1 at Aintree. The return to handicaps should suit the 4-year-old more. A reproduction of his Cheltenham performance would see him go close if fully tuned up for his first race since April.
Cheers
John
