Hi all,
It was good to end the losing run with a couple of nice priced winners at Yarmouth yesterday. Today’s two selections are from Pontefract & Uttoxeter.
Pontefract
5:35 – French Asset – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Shaped well when 4th on his handicap debut at Kempton two starts back, despite still looking green. Finished runner-up to Glenties at Windsor 10-days ago, looking a shade inexperienced in the finish. Gets the first-time blinkers today and can race off the same mark as at Windsor. If the headgear has the desired effect, he looks the one to beat.
Uttoxeter
2:40 – Twin Star – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Was a decent flat handicapper when trained by Andrew Balding. Hasn’t reached any great heights over hurdles – 0 wins from 8 runs- so far but has shown enough to suggest she’s capable of winning in the sphere. Third of seven on her seasonal reappearance at Newton Abbot 16-days ago was a satisfactory return to action and if she can find a bit more improvement shouldn’t be far away.
Cheers
John
