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.
18:00 Kempton
SISTERS IN THE SKY 13/2 0.5pt E/W (1pt)
(bet365 - 4 places)
Sisters In The Sky has been well fancied across each of his last 5 outings, going off at an SP of no bigger than 5/1 in each affair, fav or 2nd fav in 3/5. He's finished respectably in each of those starts, the
best of which when finishing a mere half length 2nd off 53 over today's 6f trip at Wolverhampton, and his speed rating last time out over the same C&D is the best last time out rating of any of today's rivals to have ran within the last 100 days. He also ran a similar speed figure on his sole start over today's C&D, and the switch back to this track and trip, at which progeny of his sire Showcasing boast an impressive 15% S/R (+£127.61 LSP), looks sure to be in favour. Today's mark of 52
remains 13lbs below his last winning one, and the retention of Rossa Ryan in the saddle shows he should once again be giving his running. Solid EW chance.
