Hi all,
Well at least we have been among the winners in the last few days. Let’s hope we can continue the winning trend on Sunday.
Taunton
3:40 – Darling Maltaix – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Trainer Paul Nicholls has his runners in excellent form 12 winners from 29 runners 41% +12.78 in the past 14-days. The selection won an Ascot handicap hurdle last season but generally underachieved over the smaller obstacles. Has shaped with enough promise on his three starts over fences to think he’s on a competitive enough mark to win a race like this. Runner-up at Exeter 32-days ago and could be suited by the step back up in trip to 2m 7f if ridden with more patience than last time.
4:10 – Tactical Manoeuvre – 9/2 @ Bet365 – The 9-year-old has been well placed by trainer to win his last two starts since joining present trainer Jeremy Scott. The latter of those wins came over C&D 15-days ago. Up 6lb for that success but worth remembering that he did win off 3lb higher in Feb 2018 so the hat trick bid could be on especially if the ground remains soft.
Musselburgh
1:15 – Im Too Generous – 4/1 – Gen – The selection has outstanding record at Musselburgh with form figures 2111. Just the one run this season when making all here over hurdles 69-days ago. The 10-year-old wasn’t disgraced racing from the front on his one start over fences when 3rd of 5 at Perth in the spring. Unlikely to get an uncontested lead today but he goes well off a lay off and returns to his favourite track. Looking at his career record the sounder the surface the better his chance.
1:45 – Thyme White – 10/3 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Trainer Paul Nicholls has won this juvenile hurdle twice since 2013. The selection has finished runner-up on both his starts over hurdles firstly to Goshan and the Rowland Ward. His prominent style of running is suited to the track and should go close for an inform yard.
I’m having a day off tomorrow so the next selections will be on Tuesday.
Cheers
John
