🐎 8/12 VIP PICKS!

📍 WOLVERHAMPTON AW 
• 1.10 - SHE GOT THE LOOK 28/1 (0.5pt) : 
Mark Johnston fields one of only 2 debutantes in this novice stakes and while the fav looks a nice sort, she doesn’t set that high a standard and will have to shoulder a penalty here. Could be vulnerable and at the prices I’d rather take her on.
Our selection is a Camelot filly with some smart siblings including multiple AW winners and a 2yo winner rated in the 100’s -  plenty of appeal on pape and Mark knows how to ready them first time. 
His runners are generally hardy, game sorts and no surprise if Joe takes him to the front..  I think is worth a speculative look in what doesn’t appear to be the deepest of contests. 
Shame there’s only 7 runners in here, we’d be playing each way in an ideal world.

 

• 1.40 - BUSBY 7/1 NAP (1pt x EW) : 
I’ve looked over this race ten times and still can’t understand the pricing. Kirby’s horse looks to easily have the best form on offer and comes here having lost by a nose in a Class 4 event over a mile at Newcastle, now drops into a class 6 off the same mark! 
Has an extra furlong to see out for the first time but recent efforts suggest the stamina is there and having won off marks 10lb higher in the past theres every reason to believe he can make light of this company. 
4 places on offer and honestly hard to see him out of the frame bar mishaps.

Tio Mio is an obvious danger with a CD win to his name and was a beaten fav by only a neck here last time out, Rossa Ryan retains.

📍 HEXHAM 
• 12.50 - CUDGEL (PLACE ONLY) 10/11 (2pts) : This looks an ideal return for James Waltons runner returning on seasonal reappearance. 
A course winner who has shown some of his best form when fresh and was running to his peak when last seen. 
Todays ground will hold no fears and he’s on avery competitive mark just 3lb above his last winning one. 
I honestly think he can probably win this race, however it is tight on the figures with Real Armani while Deep Charm has a shout too if backing up his recent improved effort. 
Our selection has only been outside the front 3 ONCE in his last 12 completed starts, and that one was a close up 4th. Solid AF.

 

• 2.20 - CHARM OFFENSIVE 4/1 (1pt) : 
This progressive mare looks to have been underestimated on her return here and with the sex allowance in her pocket I think could be very hard to catch if fully tuned up on her reappearance. 
 Has figures of 222 since handicapping over hurdles, improving each time and they represent some decent form in context of todays race. 
Plenty of hole she’ll continue improving and if anywhere near her best I think takes this lot for a ride - if she has a run under her belt I think she’d be favourite here.

Feival will be on many peoples shortlists for a trainer and jockey that do exceptionally well at this venue and looked to be about to play a role in the finish when falling a the final fence last time out, Looks set to go well today if none the worse for that and I wouldn’t overlook Ghandi Maker either who’s bumper form has substance. 
Tight race.
