Hi all,
All three of today’s selections come from Ludlow.
Ludlow
3:05 – The Welsh Paddies – 5/2 @ William Hill & Ladbrokes – The 7-year-old made it 3 wins from 9 runs over hurdles when winning at Stratford two starts back. Before finishing third to Tobefair at Cheltenham 25-days ago. The selection makes his debut over fences in this novices’ handicap chase. Interesting he come here for his chase debut as his trainer Kerry Lee is 3 winners from 3 runners 100% +12 with her runners here in novice handicap chases. I think he can make a winning debut over the larger obstacles.
3:40 – Court Royale – 10/3 @ William Hill & Ladbrokes – The selection made it 3 wins from 9 runs over hurdles when battling on well to win over C&D 41-days ago. That win was the 6-year-old’s second C&D win and his third win on good ground. The handicapper has raised him 5lb for that last win but there’s every chance he can progress to defy his career high mark.
4:15 – Hatcher – 11/8 @ Bet365 & William Hill – Made it 2 wins from 2 runs over fences when making all to win at Southwell 33-days ago. Seven of his eight wins have come on good or quicker ground and he’s also 6 wins from 6 runs in field sizes 7 or less. The 6-year-old jumping has been good in the main and although his jumping will be tested more in this better class of race, I think he can make it 3 from 3 over the larger obstacles.
I’m taking a day off tomorrow but will be back on Tuesday.
Cheers
John
