Hi all,
Four selections today from Taunton, Ludlow, and Chelmsford.
Taunton
4:15 – Rose To Fame – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Made 2-2 at the track when winning a handicap hurdle 15-days ago. Up 6lb but still looks on a workable mark stepping up in trip. Trainer Kim Bailey has his horses in winning form and he had jockey David Bass are 4-8 +13 when teaming up at the track in the past 2-years.
Ludlow
2:15 – Don Lami – 5/2 @ Bet365 – The 7-year-old hasn’t been the easiest to keep sound. He’s only had seven career starts and this will be only his second start since May 2018. Today he returns for the first time since winning on chase debut 12 months ago. Just 2lb higher than for his last success and has scope for a bit more progress over fences.
Chelmsford
7:00 – Ritchie Valens – 8/1 – Gen – Made a winning stable debut over C&D on his seasonal return and wasn’t disgraced when 3rd of 10 at York a month later. Last of 8 at Ripon when last seen in action but he returns to C&D, just 2lb higher than for his last win. Goes well fresh so the 98-day absence shouldn’t be a problem. Probably needs a truly run race to be seen at his best though.
8:00 – Alsvinder – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The previous C&D winner seems to have returned to form for a switch back to the all-weather. He was 4th of 12 over C&D two starts back and then beaten less than a length into second at Wolverhampton 10-days ago. Off the same mark as last time and looks set to strike from a handy low draw.
Cheers
John
