Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Cheltenham and Fontwell.
Cheltenham
1:45 – Crebilly – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The top weight won two of his five starts over hurdles last season including a valuable handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m 4f) in April. He has the scope to make a chaser and hopefully he can make his first start over fences a winning one.
4:00 – Brechin Castle – 9/4 @ Bet365 – An expensive purchase after winning an Irish Pont earlier this year. The 5-year-old made an impressive winning debut for new connections in a Sedgefield bumper (soft) 28 days ago. He looks well worth his place in Listed company and will take the beating here.
Fontwell
2:04 – Gerico Ville – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Twice a winner over hurdles he made no show from the rear when down the field on his chase debut at Huntingdon 20 days ago. He’s surely better than that effort and given his improved form over hurdles came when ridden prominently he will surely be ridden more aggressively in a race which doesn’t have much in the way of pace. The cheekpieces return and the testing ground shouldn’t worry him as he won on soft.
Cheers
John
