Tentative nod toward SWEETTOOTHTOMMY 22/1 Chepstow 4.05 Despite having some fair point to point form he found a 3 mile slog on heavy ground at Exeter a bit too taxing in December. He finished a well beaten sixth that day having had every chance turning for home. The form is interesting because the front five have all won since! The drop back to 2m 4f and the sounder surface could very well suit and Tom Scudamore takes over from the yards apprentice. He can certainly outrun his price!
That's basically why I put Bastien up. That form line with Robin Roe. Le Breuil will have to be very good to concede weight here.
The winner has won since, the runner up has won twice, the fifth and sixth have both won since. The third was a bit dissapointing on his only run since. Bastien was fourth. Its a pretty decent bumper to be following. The Robin Roe form with Laser Light was point to point form!
Ya i just hope Alan has the animal ready to go on seasonal reappearance. Surprised you ain't keen on What A Diva in the Sweettooth race...
Because of the Copper Kay link huh ;-) Its one of those NH bred races that you never can be quite sure what might happen!
Look out in that 1.30 lads- the presence of Citrus means that this is an acid test for your selection.
Just one little eycatcher in the Bangor bumper at a price and that was Robin The Raven 14/1 each way. Ran a lovely introduction for Roy Brotherton when held up off a steady gallop and then fetched £30k+ at the sales. If stepping forward it might go well for Kim Bailey.
Iora Glas 2.00 Chepstow! Owners think it stands a good chance, were worried about 2 that were entered but now not running
15:30 Auteuil - Blue Tara e/w (Had a long break, but mare has chance if fit enough. Decent form for this event. 11/1 with Bet365 atm).
Catterick 430 JACOBS PILLOW 4s in places should take all the beating today and gets a nice claimer to turn the 2nds into a first
Very good start lads. Keep a close eye as we have a form line developing here. Very early days I know but that looked a really decent novice hurdle? Time will tell.
Good stuff Beefy Those owners of the green silks slowly getting some nice horses after recent investments failed to bear fruit
Phew, excellent by Thistlecrack. Jumped with aplomb, and apart from that, what a galloper he is. A bit of cut in the ground is an obvious necessity for him I'd say. Good recruit to the big obstacles game, very good.
