Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Chester, Haydock, and Newmarket.
Chester
2:50 – Celtic Champion – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Improved to get off the mark at the third attempt when winning at Salisbury last month. Looks on a workable mark for his nursery debut and is taken to score here.
3:25 – Call My Bluff – 7/1 @ Bet365 – A winner here last season over 2m and was a good 1 ¾ length 3rd of 11 in the Chester Vase over C&D in May. Bounced back from a poor run at Galway when a staying on 1 ½ length 3rd of 10 to Rajinsky at Newmarket last Saturday. There shouldn’t be an issue with the quick turnaround as he’s 1-1 when racing within 7-days of his last start. Fresher than most coming into the autumn having had just four starts and an even gallop should see him go close.
Haydock
4:25 – Drafted – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – An eyecatcher on his York racecourse debut once again went into the notebook when a ½ length 3rd of 6 on nursery debut over C&D 23-days ago. He was doing his best work at the finish that day and provided they go a decent gallop he’s capable of winning off a mark of 68.
Newmarket
5:25 – Alrehb – 6/1 @ Bet365 – A three time winner on the all-weather the 5-year-old has yet to score on for starts on turf, but he’s run a couple of good races that show he’s capable of winning on grass. Runner-up on his last two starts was only beaten a neck when 2nd of 14 at Doncaster two starts back and was beaten the same distance when 2nd of 12 at Newcastle last time. Has bee nudged up the weights for those two close-up efforts but can win again when all the cards fall right.
Cheers
John
