Morning all, a few selections today both on the Flat at Doncaster and the Jumps over at Aintree & more.

We are over 150+ points up this Summer on the Flat hence as we move to the Jumps we will take things slowly as we build up to Cheltenham and the November meeting next week.

12:40 Wynn House 4/1 1.5PT ew

Alan King books Tom Cannon who has great form around the course, King himself does well with those returning after a long break (20% SR) and at the price it looks a decent each-way play.

13:01 – Flight Deck 9/2 1.5PT ew

Jonjo O Neil and his lad, partner Flight Deck, who relishes the heavier ground and is weighted well today to succeed. The Skelton horse would be a worry but for the yard’s recent poor run of form.

13:30 Sweet Believer 9/2 2pt ew

Haggis brings back the well fancied, Sweet Believer, unlucky at Ascot and Sandown when placing in successive starts, the heavier ground today may just be what she needs. Up in class but a modest rise in the weights should ensure this 4 y/o against the younger horses has too much come the line.

14:11 – Two for gold 8/1 1.5pt ew

Kim Bailey and David Bass partner up, bringing the horse down in class (last seen at the Grand National) and with the ground starting to be something like its preferred good to soft (heavyish). Experience around the aintree fences will mean plenty and the Lingfield win in January of this year is the race we hope the horse can replicate today.

14:39 – Yanifer 6/1 2.5PT ew

This race looks perfect for Yanifer who is set-up at the weights, with 5lb being taken off by the rider. A horse who relishes the soft, the trainer has a 25% SR with last time out winners and the draw today is favourable with the horse being quick to get out and lead from the outset. 

15:13 – Israr

The money is back down on Gosden and Crowley to do it again, at Doncaster, on Heavy going, Israr is the stand-out horse in the field and despite the shortening odds, the trainer knows the course well at this distance (27% SR) and the jockey the same (25% SR). 

11/4 2.5PT ew
