My first selection tomorrow is Block Party in the 7.20 at Kempton. He has put in some solid efforts this season and was second over course and distance on his last start.
I was impressed with Business as Usual when he won his maiden at Yarmouth and he may have the beating of his 3 rivals, all previous winners themselves, in the 2.00 at Leicester.
John Gosden may hold the key to the 3.05. He is double handed with both his runners looking to have a chance.
The jumps cards at Uttoxeter and Wetherby look pretty run of the mill stuff. With the benefit of a recent run Nirvana Swing looks to have an each way chance in the Wetherby but apart from that nothing really catches my eye.
I am interested in a couple of runners at Punchestown. Taking Stock makes his hurdles debut in the 3.15. He won a Punchestown bumper in February and although a chaser in the making he should be able to score over the smaller obstacles while gaining experience.
Weapon’s Amnesty, winner of the Albert Bartlett at the Festival last March is fancied to make a winning start to his career over fences in the 5.20. Davy Russell takes the ride.
