Our only bet ran poorly yesterday, let us hope the Skelton’s are not falling out of form ahead of the Festival, a few poor runners of late might indicate the yard is not quite firing as they would like.
Onto today, P&L to be posted tomorrow.
Southwell
13:00 – Nothing of interest.
13:30 – Nothing of interest.
Wetherby
15:50 – ZALVADOS was a selection on Saturday before being withdrawn, he has proven to like the distance and prefers a bit more than 2mil having struggled at the shorter trip, today he should be seen to best affect, the withdrawal by Oliver Greenhall should be a positive, let us hope that we collect today.
ZALVADOS 5/2 2PT EW
16:20 – HAAFAPIECE looked good at Wetherby when placing over distance , if anything like that today, his fall at Cheltenham when seen last time out can be excused (as he was looking well-in at the time of the fall).
HAAFAPIECE 5/1 2PT EW
Wolverhampton
18:10 – SWEET CELEBRATION is selected to defy a less than ideal draw and let us hope Marco Botti has advised the jockey to be a tad more prominent out of the stalls as if so, this horse should be challenging for favouritism on form.
The risk is the draw and the running style, which does not lend itself to success but the price is too interesting to turn down
SWEET CELEBRATION 6/1 1PT EW
