Two selection and two winners from last night’s preview!
There are 3 jumps meeting tomorrow and I will start down at Exeter where Paul Nicholls has a fancied runner in the novice chase at 2.40. Inchidaly Rock won 3 point to points in Ireland before joining the Ditcheat trainer and last season won twice over hurdles. He looks a very interesting recruit to steeplechasing and is the selection. Another horse to note in this race is Giles Cross who has winning form over hurdles and looks the type to make a chaser.
Copper Bleu who was 4th in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham last season makes his chase debut in the 3.10. He is another former Irish points winner and I fancy him to win on his chase bow. The main danger may come from Captain Americo who won twice over hurdles last season and is another that should make up into a decent chaser although the trip tomorrow may just be on the sharp side for him.
Andy Turnell trains Captain Americo and he also runs Best Oscar who is my idea of the likely winner of the novice hurdle at 4.10. An impressive winner of an Irish point to point he should jump a fence in time but he can win over hurdles this season.
At Lingfield Chilli Rose has the best form on show in the bumper at 4.00. 6th in the mare’s bumper at Aintree this mare is very well regarded by her trainer and should win. Nothing really appeals to me on the Sedgefield card.
Good luck
