Hi all,
A good win by Dakota Gold means York’s Ebor Festival started with a bang. York looks too competitive today so I’m off too Chepstow & Bath for today’s selections.
Leicester
6:00 – Knightcap – 15/8 @ William Hill – Seemed to improve for the return to 6f and soft ground when easily winning a Catterick nursery 3-days ago. Not surprisingly connections opt for a quick return for the filly under her 6lb penalty. If she reproduces her Catterick run, she should win this.
6:30 – Pinnata – 7/2 – Gen – The selection makes a quick return after finishing 2nd of 5 at Newmarket 6-days ago. He’s rated 14lb lower on turf than the all-weather but looks more than capable of winning on the grass based on the form of his last two starts
Chepstow
4:30 – Norab – 5/1 @ William Hill – Bounced back to form when a ½ length, 2nd of 12 here 7-days ago. The 8-year-old doesn’t win very often but this is a moderate race and if he can’t win this I’m not sure when he will on the flat again.
Cheers
John
