Good day yesterday, one bet and one win, nice to see Stone Soldier win, under a cracking ride by Luke Morris.
Nice 2pt e/w at 5/1 to improve the yearly performance.
Today, Lingfield, Newbury and Doncaster of potential interest.
Lingfield
14:00 – a shot is taken on Saint Hollie of Doyle to do the business on Requinto Dawn whilst not fancied in the betting, drawn high and likely to be prominent out of the gates, a consistent performer from a speed perspective at higher-weights, up in class but with a red-hot jockey on board I would be surprised if that 12/1 hasn’t contracted before the off.
REQUINTO DAWN 12/1 1PT EW
Newbury
15:00 – DEFI SACRE is the best horse in the field, he should get his head in front today.
DEFI SACRE 10/3 2PT EW
15:35 – NEVERBEENTOPARIS for the in-form Harry Whittington yard stands out at a big price in this competitive hurdle, although vastly up in the weights due to its last time out performance, carrying heavier in August last year he was able to get in front, the booking of Darryl Jacob is a positive.
NEVERBEENTOPARIS
Doncaster
14:15 – A LUCK OF CLOVER seems very well handicapped in this mares hurdle, a likely front-runner, who has set impressive fractions carrying far-higher weight than this prior to Christmas, if the run at Lingfield can be excused (NHF races throw up all sorts after all), with Brian Hughes on board I would be surprised if we do not make the frame.
A LUCK OF CLOVER 6/1 2PT EW
15:25 – Zalvados is the selection, Pogue has ran some freakish performances of late but if he doesn’t hit the heights of previous runs (no doubt free-wheeling from the front), I would anticipate Zalvados can make matters interesting at the end.
Zalvados 5/1 2PT EW
No further bets.
