Sunday Singles 🏇
14:15 Musselburgh
WHOSMYDADDY 4/1 0.5pt E/W
(PP/BF/BV)
Trainer Sandy Thomson is in top form, 5 wins from his last 22 and he had 2 winners from just 3 runners on Saturday. Whosmydaddy was clearly bred for chasing having landed a PTP over 3 miles, however he failed to show much in 2 starts in Ireland over hurdles, and it was a similar story on his opening 2 starts for Thomson in the UK, all 4 starts being over 2m-2m4f trips. He now switches to
what promises to be a better suited chase sphere, marks his handicap debut from a mere rating of 89, and makes the first time step up to the 3m trip under rules. Owner J Fyffe boasts a 19% strike rate and 50% place rate from 70 runners round Musselburgh, and the significant switches in discipline/trip, paired with the first time switch to Musselburgh, looks sure to see him putting up a big effort.
15:30 Southwell
ROCKCHOEUR 4/1 1pt
WIN
(bet365)
As a trainer, Nigel Twiston-Davies is already a decent 16% with his NHF horses round Southwell, however as an owner that strike rate significantly increases to 45%, 5 wins from 11 runners. Rockchouer was a €40,000 3YO purchase for the trainer/owner, and progeny of his sire, Choeur Du Nord, are a decent 17% in this NHF sphere. Rockchouer, whilst lacking in racecourse experience, may just be up for taking this contest first time up; he’s in receipt of
11lbs from the fav, and has Sam Twiston-Davies jocked up on board.
