Much to my surprise some of my nap selections are actually winning and Glencove Marina was another success at Navan this afternoon, albeit with the help of a couple of fallers.  He looks a decent prospect.

 

Bedlam Boy makes his debut over fences for Nicky Richards in the 1.00 at Ayr tomorrow.  He won twice last season and ended his campaign with a 3rd behind the highly rated Tidal Bay.  He is likely to need further than this 2 miles eventually but he has the speed for the shorter trip and could make a winning start to a career over fences.  Monolith also makes his chase bow.  He is not very big but could well be the sort to pick up a race or two over the larger obstacles.  If he does he will join that “club” of horses that have won over hurdles, fences and on the flat.

 

Berwick Law was 2nd over two miles at Newcastle last time out.  The extra half miles of the Ayr 3.05 will play more to his strengths and he should go close.

 

Daltaban, a winner at Chantilly on the flat looks the form pick in the 12.20 at Plumpton.  He is owned by David Johnson.

 

Pauillac jumped soundly when winning on his chase debut at Lingfield.  With the David Pipe stable in fine form he should be able to follow up in the 12.50 at Plumpton.

 

Low Delta may well have won when unseating last time at Chepstow and is worth another chance in the 2.25 at Plumpton.

What’s in a name?

 

Sheriff Roscoe was a winner at Leicester the other day.  The name is taken from a character in the old TV series The Dukes of Hazzard.
