Hi all,
I think Smugglers Stash is still running, as he never really got competitive and faded out of contention.
Taunton
2:35 – Vaziani – 15/2 – Gen – There has been a welcome upturn in the form of the Robert Walford stable – 2 winners from 10 runners 20% +3.50 – in the past 14-days. The 5-year-old isn’t the best handicapped horse in the field, but he ran well enough when 2nd of 5 at Plumpton 24-days ago. Slightly up in class here but looks set for a good run with a useful conditional jockey taking off 7lb.
3:10 – Spring Wolf – 11/1 @ Paddy Power – Another from the Robert Walford stable. The 11-year-old is lightly raced for his age just the 8 starts, including four over fences. Both his career wins have come over fences, including over C&D two starts back. Needs to jump better and cut out the mistakes but no problem should the going ease and shouldn’t be far away.
Warwick
1:20 – Sensulano – Evens – Gen – A very useful hurdler, including a win here, has made an encouraging start to her career over fences. A runner-up on her seasonal reappearance before running out a comfortable winner of a mare’s beginners chase at Fontwell last month. Steps up to listed class here but the 6-year-old be competitive on her hurdle form especially with the overnight favourite declared a non-runner.
I’m off tomorrow but will be back on Saturday.
Cheers
John
