Perth 1.10 Golden Jeffrey This horse is a course winner and 13lb below last winning mark. Drops down to a class 5 after finishing 6 of 10 in a class 4 at Southwell where he didn't run bad in my opinion (lost a shoe during the race). Its his 5th race for David Pipe and I just have the feeling they are finding the key to this one now. David Pipe has a good record at Perth. Stats for his hurdlers there over the last 5 seasons: 14 runs 5 wins 5 placed PL 4.60 Will be interesting to see if the money goes down on this one.
Perth 16,35 Kajaki 7/1 e/w Usually runs well after a long break. Six races on hurdles two wins, two seconds and two thirds.
In the 4.00 at Perth I will take a chance on Wolfcatcher. Has run some good races for Ian Williams in the past. Obviously needed first run at this track after a long layoff on stable debut. Today back on good ground and with Sean Bowen going to Perth only for this ride I'm hopeful that Wolfcatcher outruns his odds.
Pontefract 2:05 Iconic Choice Best run this season was at this track 4 runs ago in a listed event when 2nd over a mile (had to wait until gap opened, ran on well). Todays drop in class and being well handicapped could make this worth a bet. Stable amongst the winners recently and jockey Ben Curtis who rode the horse last time at Pontefract is in good form too. There is a bit of money coming for Iconic Choice.
Newmarket 3.35 Withhold won a listed race here last month, and won this race last year. narrowly beaten on last run at Salisbury.
