THE BETTING STRATEGY

Year to date: +54.04 points

Saturday 04 December 2021

Not the best of days yesterday. We were saved in the last race when Pileon Won 3.61. Boothill was disappointing as was Adrimel who was pulled up. Brave Kingdom and Gunsight Ridge were both well supported but neither was able to get their heads in front. Montanna pulled up and Count Meribel fell three out when holding every chance.

Another busy day today, so let’s get cracking!

Analysis

11.15 Aintree

Olly Murphy’s Bombs Away was impressive when winning his debut race over hurdles at Sandown just under a month ago and I will be disappointed if he can’t build on that.

11.45 Aintree

David Pipe has put cheekpieces on Grangeclare Glory for the first time and that should help him to improve on his 2^nd at Ascot last month.

12.55 Aintree

Galahad Quest ran a great race when finishing 5^th in the Paddy Power Gold Cup last month and that form is better than anything else in this race and if the Nick Williams horse repeats that then he’ll win this.

1.57 Chepstow

After running at Wetherby recently, Gericault Roque gave the distinct impression that a step up in distance would suit and the extra four furlongs here should be ideal for him.

3.45 Chepstow

Neil King’s Poets Corner finished 6^th in his first race for his new trainer but he can get a lot closer today at a big price. It may be that this is just a pipe opener before he goes chasing but at the price he’s worth a bet.
