Hi all,
I have struggled to separate today’s shortlist so here are four of them.
Goodwood
1:45 – Imrahor – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Returned from a 9-month absence to finish an encouraging 1 ¾ length 3rd of 11 at Newbury last month. That was his handicap debut and his first run since a gelding operation. Really quick ground would be a slight unknown but apart from that he can get the better of last time out Sandown winner Kettle Hill.
2:52 – King Vega – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Didn’t have to be at his best when winning a novice over C&D (good to firm) 15-days ago. Prior to that he had returned from a 5-month layoff to finish a promising 2 ½ length 5th of 10 in a Sandown Group 3. Fresher than most, he ticks the all-important going, course and distance boxes and can win this.
3:27 – Sea Sylph – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection wasn’t as well placed as the winner when finishing a 1-length 2nd of 8 at Bath three weeks ago. If she had been closer when making her effort she would have probably have won. The filly has been nudged up 1lb for that effort but has a good chance of going one better.
Listowel
3:20 – Oscar Romero – 5/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Has won three of his last four starts. The 6-year-old posted a personal best when winning at Ballinrobe last month and although he’s up a further 11lb for that success, he’s likely remaining on a competitive mark and looks capable of going in again against some exposed handicappers.
Cheers
John
