Cheltenham 12.10 Ballyalton
1PT WIN@9/4 Various
Ballyalton was
visually very impressive at the last Cheltenham meeting at a trip short of his
best. Racing Pulse is a big danger based
on his impressive performance at Newcastle, but I think Ballyalton will have too
much class and speed for him over this trip.
4TH 3/1(drifted in market, not able to quicken going to last, disappointing run)
Cheltenham 2.30 Double
Ross 1PT WIN@2/1 Various
I expect him to be
able to defy the 7lb increase for a victory in a much more competitive race
here at the last meeting, where he had the race won from the top of the hill. Stable amongst winners again yesterday.
1ST 11/8F rule 4 (well backed, always in control, comfortable) 1.9PT Profit
Catterick 3.25 Five in
a Row 1PT WIN@10/11Bet 365
Winner of a point and
a bumper (second has won twice since). He was highly tried on hurdle debut
behind Ballyalton and Oscar Rock. This represents a drop in class and the step
up in distance is also a plus.
2ND 10/11F (disappointing in a slow tactical affair).
