Hi all,
I’m running late this morning. Today’s selections are from Ludlow and Kempton.
Ludlow
3:00 – Coolnaugh Haze – 11/2 – Gen – Made most to win a Plumpton maiden hurdle 23-days ago. That was just his third career start and second over hurdles. Gets the 4-year-old weight allowance for his handicap hurdle debut and looks capable of better in the sphere.
3:35 – Slate House – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection isn’t the horse he once was but he’s finished runner-up on his last two starts over fences at Wincanton & Taunton. Came up against an improver in Revels Hill last time. He might be vulnerable to stronger stayers, even over a sharp 3m like Ludlow’s, but is handicapped to win a race like this.
Kempton
7:30 – Sip and Smile – 7/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Has won both his career starts at Newcastle. The latest of them coming 19-days ago. Handicap debut off what looks a workable mark and if he’s as effective on the polytrack as the tapeta won’t be far away here.
Cheers
John
