Hi all,
The poor run continues but hopefully today is the day results turn around.
Leicester
3:15 – Ardmayle – 7/2 @Bet365 – The 8-year-old is 2 wins from 2 runs at the course, including C&D, and is 3 wins from 5 runs on heavy, so ticks the all-important boxes marked course, distance and going. Has yet to fire on three starts this season, last two over fences but the return to the smaller obstacles could see the selection bounce back to winning form today.
4:15 – Sabathical – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Put in a career best effort when 3rd of 11 at Plumpton off today’s mark 9 days ago. Just the four starts over hurdles so the 5-year-old is open to a bit more progress on just his second handicap start off what looks a workable mark.
Kempton
7:45 – Distant Applause – 13/2 @ Bet365 – The selection down the field on his first start for 303 days two starts back, seemed to bounce back to form when 4th of 12 at Wolverhampton 14-days ago, although the first-time blinkers he wore that day have been removed. Just the eight career starts, and it’s worth remembering the 5-year-old was beaten just a short head, off 3lb higher, over a furlong shorter here 12 months ago.
Cheers
John
