Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Pontefract, Newton Abbot & Killarney.
Pontefract
3:55 – Golden Apollo – 4/1 @ Bet365 – A previous C&D winner during a productive 3-year-old campaign. He went just over two years between wins before landing the Ayr Silver Cup last September, off 5lb lower. Ran respectably when 8th in the Silver Wokingham on his seasonal return and should be sharper for that run.
Newton Abbot
4:50 – Templepark – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection seemed to improve for the switch to the Fergal O’Brien stable last season winning at Wincanton in November. Normally a decent jumper he was still in contention when falling two out at Kempton back in February. Likes a sound surface and if fit enough can make a winning return.
Killarney
6:00 – Kaiser Black – 4/1 @ William Hill – Only ran once last season when well beaten in a heavy ground Grade 2 Chase at Gowran Park. He’s a much better horse on a sounder surface, form figures 112 on good ground, and ended the 2018-19 season finishing runner-up La Bague Au Roi in Grade 1 at Leopardstown before going on to win a Naas Grade 3. A reproduction of those efforts would see the 9-year-old go close and he goes well fresh.
Cheers
John
