Hi all
Sadly, the winning run came to an end yesterday. Today’s selections are from Haydock and Taunton.
Haydock
12:30 – Lady Bowes – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 7-year-old won a maiden hurdle at Hexham last December. It was heavy that day and the mare ran well at that meeting again when a 4-length 3rd of 14 in a handicap hurdle. She was staying on that day over 2m 4f and could progress for the step up to 3m here.
1:00 – Farrants Way – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The only one of the six runners that has yet to race over fences. The 7-year-old is having his first start since pulling up here over hurdles in February. Prior to that he had gone close on heavy ground here in a handicap hurdle. He looks a decent mark for his chase debut.
Taunton
1:50 – Cape Robin –12/1 @ Bet365 or 11/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner at Worcester in June. He bounced back to form when a 2-length 2nd of 8 to Reve in a similar race at Ludlow 56-days ago. That was the 7-year-old’s first start beyond 2m 6f since his point days. He showed he stayed an easy 3m 2f that day so today’s 2m 7f will be fine. Wouldn’t want the ground to ease from good to soft but if it doesn’t, he’s in the mix.
Cheers
John
