Diary: December 18 2008

 

Silverburn was well fancied for the Boylesports Gold Cup that was washed out on Saturday and he takes his place in the Graduation Chase which is the Exeter 1.50. He shouldn’t be inconvenienced by this shorter trip and is preferred to another rerouted from the Boylesports, Private Be.

Sprosser represents my list to follow in the 2.20. He is yet to finds his form this season but should appreciate the small field and the assistance of jockey Dominic Elsworth. He has not won on soft ground though.

There are two runners from my list in the 2.50. I can’t support Quickbeam as he has fallen in his last two races. Russian Trigger was staying on at the death when 7th at Haydock on his seasonal reappearance and he is my selection. In the 3.50 I would suggest a small each way interest in Carrickmines, who looks quite well handicapped.

Ludlow

In the Ludlow 1.10 my selection is Alan King’s Paquet Cadeau who won at Uttoxeter on his UK debut. Emma Lavelle has her string in good form and Regal Quote, owned by the trainer’s father, looks the main danger to the Alan King runner.

Carole’s Legacy overturned a useful favourite at Newbury last time out with the remainder of the field in another parish. The form looks strong and she will take all the beating in the 3.10. Dual bumper winner Dancingwithbubbles was 4th on her hurdles debut and looks the one for the forecast.
