Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Naas and Fontwell.
Naas
2:00 – Blackbow – 11/8 @ Bet365 – Despite Paul Townend opting for Cash Back. I’m going with the selection. The drop back to the minimum trip suits the 9-year-old. He should get an uncontested lead here and if Danny Mullins gets the fractions right, he will be hard to pass.
3:30 – Magic Word – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection has improved with each of her three starts over hurdle. Posting a career best when a 3 ½ length 2nd of 18 over C&D last time. There is a small handicap hurdle like this in the filly off her present mark.
Fontwell
2:50 – Monmiral – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Last season’s high class juvenile hurdler, won a Grade 1 at Aintree, bids to get his career on track after a very poor run in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on his seasonal reappearance. Clearly comes with risks attached after that run and the stable isn’t back in top gear just yet either. However, a reproduction of last season’s best would make him hard to beat.
Cheers
John
