3:00pm Fontwell – Salver (NAP 🌟)
Salver (13/8) seeks redemption after a narrow defeat to Nemean Lion at Windsor. A 3lb swing in the weights and a step back
up to 2m4f (his ideal trip) could tip the scales. The Gary Moore yard has a strong record here, and with Steel Ally likely setting the pace, Salver can settle and strike. Nemean Lion’s stablemates underperformed recently, raising doubts about their current form. Sam Thomas’ Blueking D’Oroux (double-figure odds) is the wildcard but lacks the selection’s tactical versatility.
Pick: Salver @ 13/8

3:40pm Hereford – Lagonda & Christopher Wood
Rain Alert: Expected midday showers could soften the ground, favoring stamina types.
Lagonda (11/4): Consistent this season, culminating in a front-running win at Bangor last time. Shane Quinlan’s 3lb claim offsets a 5lb rise, and his aggressive riding suits this track.
Christopher Wood (9/1): A 13lb drop from his peak mark makes him intriguing. First-time blinkers aim to sharpen his erratic jumping. His Eider Chase effort (led before fading) shows he’s no slouch over staying trips.
Venetia Williams’ duo thrive in testing conditions. Champagnesuperover (unseated last time) is risky, while Almazhar Garde (veteran debutant) faces a steep
task.
Picks:
Lagonda @ 11/4
Christopher Wood @ 9/1 (Each-Way)
