Hi all,
There are fine margins in this game as we witnessed yesterday evening with a short head separating a tidy profit from a loss.
Worcester
3:20 – Singapore Saga – 7/4 @ Paddy Power & Bet365 – The selection made her debut in decent NHF race at Cheltenham back in April. The form of the race looks strong with the third and fourth both winning since. Trainer Philip Hobbs has his horses forward this autumn and won this race 12 months ago.
4:55 – Old Jeroboam – 10/3 @ William Hill – Made it 2 wins from 2 runs in bumpers when winning at Southwell back in April. The 5-year-old makes his hurdle debut today and looks the type to do well over hurdles as the season progresses. A son of Jeremy he should be even better suited to more ease in the going but he’s effective on sound surface with both last season’s wins coming on good ground.
Exeter
3:30 – Keep Moving – 4/1 @ William Hill & Ladbrokes – The selection made it 2 wins from 16 starts over fences when a tidy winner of a handicap chase on good ground at Chepstow in April. The handicapper has put the 7-year-old up 2lb for that success which looks fair. He should remain competitive and shouldn’t be far away if ready to go after a 167 -day break.
4:00 – Nifty At Fifty – 4/1 @ William Hill – Made a highly encouraging return to action when going down by head at Southwell 8-days ago. Returned the 2/1 favourite that day which suggests he’s on a winnable mark. The handicapper has raised him 5lb for that effort, but he can still race off his old mark here. Provided that race doesn’t come too soon, and he proves as effective on quicker ground he can win this.
Cheers
John
