Hi all,
Those fine margins came into play yesterday as Aquamas, unlucky in the run, just failed to get up at Ayr.
Today’s selections from Nottingham & Kempton.
Nottingham
3:30 – Noble Masquerade – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Travelled through the Old Borough Cup (1m 6f) like he remains a well handicapped horse. Hit the front 3f out and was only headed when his stamina gave way well inside the final furlong. He can race off the same mark here and although he takes a big drop back in distance today, he’s a big chance from an inform yard.
4:00 – Forever William – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 3-year-old is a six-race maiden. However, he’s shown that he has ability to win off around his present mark. Hung away his chance in the straight when a 1 ½ length 3rd of 7 at Kempton last time. The first time cheekpieces are applied and if they have the desired effect, he can go close.
Kempton
6:00 – Raadobarg – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection showed a liking for plenty of ease in the ground in the spring and completed the hat trick when winning at Haydock in May. He ran better than his 8 ½ length 8th of 29 suggests in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot on quick ground. Off for almost three months he shaped with plenty of promise when a 1 ½ length 3rd of 8 at Doncaster 18-days ago. Should be spot on fitness wise for his first start on the all-weather and looks capable of rating higher.
Cheers
John
