Hi all,
Bangor
3:00 -Kingston – 7/1 @ William Hill & Coral – I’m hoping the rain stays away from Bangor as the selection needs a sound surface to be at his best. A winner over C&D last season. The 10-year-old can now race off a 4lb lower than last year’s winning mark. A good chance if the rain stays away!
Newcastle
7:20 – Ibraz – 4/1 @ William Hill – The selection is worth chancing against favourite Lush Life. The 4-year-old won twice on fast turf last season. Probably unsuited by soft ground on his Newbury seasonal return but ran better when 6th of 10 at Newmarket 31-days ago. The drop back to a mile will suit and if he handles the synthetics for the first time, must be considered a strong contender.
Tipperary
8:00 – Eight And Bob – 2/1 @ William Hill – Did well over hurdles over the winter and the 7-year-old is rated 72lb lower on the flat than over hurdles. Trainer Willie Mullins has booked Colin Keane for the ride and the trainer has his horses in winning form. Looks too well handicapped to ignore even though he’s plenty short enough in the betting for an 18 runner handicap.
Cheers
John
