Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Chepstow, Leopardstown and Wetherby.
Chepstow
1:40 – Perseus Way – 9/2 @ Bet365 & Coral – A useful flat handicapper was pitched into the deep end on juvenile hurdle debut when a promising 2 ¼ length 2nd of 8 to Scriptwriter in Grade 2 at Cheltenham. Didn’t need to reach that level of form when comfortably seeing off four rivals at Leicester last month. Gets 5lb from Scriptwriter and remains capable of better for a yard that won last year’s race.
Wetherby
1:35 – Bass Rock – 11/10 @ Bet365 – A useful handicap hurdler the 6-year-old showed he can make up into a much better chaser than hurdler when beating six rivals on his chase debut a Carlisle last month. He jumped very well that day. Handicapper has raised him 7lb for his Carlisle success but I will be disappointed if he cant defy the rise in the weights back up in trio.
2:45 – Eclair D’Ainay – 5/1 @ Bet365 & Coral – First run since February for the 8-year-old who is also returning from wind surgery. The softer the ground the better for the selection who has a good chance of following up last year’s win in the William Hill Castleford Handicap Chase even off a much higher mark.
Leopardstown
1:10 – Chacun Pour Soi – 11/8 @ Bet365 – The selection’s form figures at Leopardstown are 21111 with one of those successes coming in this race in 2020. Making his seasonal return here, he’s won first time up in the past, the 10-year-old is vulnerable to younger legs but this C&D suits him and provided he’s evens or bigger is the pick.
Cheers
John
