🐎 SAT 11/12 VIP PICKS! 🚨
📍 NEWCASTLE AW
• 1.45 - VICTORIANO 9/4 (1.5pts ) : Brian Ellison’s charge looks well placed to notch up a course and distance hatrick getting to run off only 2lb higher than his comfortable win last month. Looks sure to go well and be involved in the finish
📍 DONCASTER
• 2.05 - TAKE IT EASY 7/2 (1pt) : This lad has been a model of consistency over hurdles improving all the time and his recent form stands up to the closest scrutiny. A beaten favourite last time having been caught on heels by a front runner, Paul O’Brien retakes the reigns and I fancy compensation awaits.
He previously had Tommys Oscar in behind when winning at Wetherby and again has a healthy weight advantage with that one, though he too is rock solid and a viable EW candidate.
• 2.40 - KNIGHTS SALUTE 7/2 (1pt) : Some have suggested this isn’t the strongest renewal but I think it’d fascinating contest. 4 of these are in my tracker so let’s go down the list.
I think Porticello could be the best of these in due time, came out of some solid French form and I have eyes on for a possible Cheltenham feature next year (hence I’d like him to lose here).
Our selection today I think has the best form on offer including a grade 2 win and remains unbeaten having showing fluency and determination to battle out his finishes.
Skeltons unbeaten gelding is an obviously nice prospect and his latest form reads very well while David pipes debutante is interesting albeit starting out in a very hot race.
I fancy us to be weaving through the field strong late on and be looking just that bit more accomplished than the rest..
📍 HEREFORD
• 12.12 - EBONY GALE 18/1 (0.75pts x EW) :
While the favourite in the contest looked good on chase debut that was on soft ground as has been the case for most of his best form and he’ll have to prove and back that up on quicker surface today.
Our selection looks somewhat overpriced albeit has to carry a tank on his back, has been in very decent form all season and with the latest win being close to a career best there’s reason to believe he can cope with a 6lb rise and make the places atleast.. considering he won by over 5 eased down.
