Sandown 12.45 Boughtbeforethelunch Very reliable chaser for each way purposes. On the same mark as when 2nd to Le Boizelo in this race last year. Blinkers on could eak out some improvement. Paul Webber had 2 winners and 2 placed last 14 days. Gina Andrews had 1 ride last 14 days and that was a winner.
Today starts the first of several winter meetings in Cagne (france). The first race is a maiden hurdle where a unraced Noroit filly catches my eye HOURRA DE SIVOLA trained by leading trainer Yannick Fouin Some of the big NH stables in britain have been successfull with horses by Noroit over the last years. Several have won first time out. This one could be another Sivola-named jumper with a future in britain.
Sedgefield 12:00 Dubai Instinct Fairly useful on the flat for Brian Meehan. Mick Easterby has smart stats for each way purposes at Sedgefield over the last 5 seasons ( 30 runs 5 wins 11 Places). Conor O'Farrell a good booking for todays debut over hurdles. At 9/1 on offer worth a small each way bet.
Two singles for the ew extra at Dundalk this evening: 4:00 - Musical Rue 33/1 5 places 7:30 - Geological 50/1 5 places. Also done little ew double at 4 & 3 places respectively at 35/1 & 66/1
Maybe a little late for a speculative bet. The money arrives for Exeter 12.25 Big Chip And Pin 25/1 e/w ( Bet365, four places) Other bookies 20-16/1 (five places)
Nass, you should know a winner at 9/4 is better than a loser at 10/1 Btw it wasn't a dig either, just a bit of banter on a slow day
not as good as a 12/1 winner backed into 17/2 though eh? no worries, didn’t take it as a dig. It was a race that both horses were expected to run well in, the yard were more confident on the amateur race.
