A tricky 3-year-old handicap to kick things off. Adele is sticking with her husband Paul who has spoken positively about his chance at the prices. Steve is with Last Hoorah who should help cut out the running whilst Iโm chancing the completely unexposed Spirit Catcher for a yard with a decent record in this.
Steve and I agree that Stowell should have a lot more to offer this year. Heโs been off since July but has some solid form in the book. Adele thinks Raymond Tusk is the one to be with, small stakes.
Adele suggests Another Batt has solid claims and Iโm a backer at the prices too, win and place. Steve’s best bet of the weekend goes here whose Doncaster form from two starts ago is working out well.
Tough and a difference of opinions. Adele makes the favourite a bet on form and sheโs hard to argue with. I think Jumbly could really improve this year and she was a winner at the track last time. Steve thinks if thereโs a Guineas contender in here then itโs Shaara.
Iโm chancing Sunday Sovereign who could just pop up at a decent price in a race like this. Adele is strong on Copper Knight having seen him go well in a piece of work recently. She likes Makanah to place too and thatโs Steveโs relatively strong selection.
Best bet of the weekend here for Adele and I. Perfect Power was the standout sprint two-year-old last year and an extra furlong shouldnโt be a problem (though I think a mile might be). Add to that the favourite likely wanting softer ground and heโs a strong play. Steve isnโt convinced about Perfect Power staying even this far and heโd rather be with Lusail for a team with a good record in this.
Bet Now
Steveโs selection isnโt proven at the trip but he progressed well last year and should have more to offer this term. Adele and I are against the early favourite and prefer the chances of Ian Williamsโs Enemy who drops back into a handicap off an interesting mark.
Two big prices for me in Etonian, who looks well treated back in Grade, and Teodilna, who Jamie Spencer should get on well with. Adele is playing the place market with Isla Kai and Steve is sticking to his guns with Lincoln fancy Modern News.
No worse than yielding ground could make this tough for current favourite Love Envoi and Steve and I want to oppose her. Adele thinks Grangee has been a bit overlooked in the market, mainly because producer Dan is adamant sheโs a betโฆ
Adele thinks the favourite could and should be shorter. Iโll play the without market and want Master McShee on side, as does Adele. Ultimately, itโs a small stake, sit back and watch job.
Some decent prices going up here as youโd expect. Steve likes Mister Fogpatches (26.0) in cheekpieces for the first time. Adele is with Off You Go (34.0) also in cheekpieces and wants talking horse Gaillard Du Mesnil (9.0) on side too. My Grand National fancy Death Duty (21.0) lines up and Iโm sticking with him plus Lieutenant Command (34.0) who looks interesting up in trip.
