Month: October 2014

 

Fontwell

1.55 Miles to Memphis

2.25 Deputy Dan

Worcester

2.15 Midnight Belle

4.00 Lady Buttons

5.05 Binge Drinker

 

Exeter

2.40 Tricky one this. I am inclined to go for the French bumper winner Alcala who looks like a horse with potential improvement. He is the selection with the Philip Hobbs trained Hello George likely to be the main danger.

3.10 Puffin Billy returns to the racecourse after he nearly died from colic. He is an interesting recruit to the novice chasing ranks.

 

Plumpton

4.30 Virtuel D’Oudon

 

Cheltenham

2.00 Five times points winner Bally Beaufort is a solid stayer, seems to handle any ground and represents a stable that does well at this time of year.

2.35 Ackertac does well at this track and looks on a reasonable mark.

5.30 How About It is a point to point winner in Ireland and is well regarded by connections.

Cheltenham

2.05 There a few promising types in this as you would expect at the track. My selection is Blaklion, a good looking sort that has already won over hurdles.

 

Uttoxeter

2.30 This looks to be between Battle Born and Champagne at Tara. Slight preference is the former.

 

Wetherby

4.35 Lady Buttons has already won two bumpers at this track and finished runner up in the Aintree championship bumper. She gets a weight allowance here on her hurdles debut and will hopefully go well.

 

Sedgefield

2.40 L’Aigle Royale could be a decent recruit from France.

 

Chepstow

2.00 Full Blast

3.40 Southfield Theatre

6.00 No selection here but Detroit Blues and Murphy’s Way look interesting recruits

 

Carlisle

2.40 The ex Sir Michael Stoute runner Vital Evidence looks the type to do well over hurdles and is a threat but my selection is Voyage A New York, a course winner that should be suited by this stiff track.

4.20 Point to point winner Simply the West looks a potentially useful recruit.

4.50 Final Assault is narrowly preferred to Classic Move.

5.20 Deadly Move probably has the most potential of these.

Newton Abbot

2.20 Arenice Et Pictons has decent from in France and looks open to improvement.
