No selection yesterday but it was interesting that Bishophill Jack who was a selection a couple of weeks ago when he jumped appallingly managed to win a very weak handicap chase at Wetherby. Two meetings today at Kelso and Warwick and the selection comes from Kelso.
P&L at advised prices since 24/8 +28.42
Kelso 2.30 Ballyfitz 1PT WIN@9/2 B365 Unseated rider (10/3F)
I was at Cheltenham recently when Ballyfitz finished 2nd to Galaxy Rock and I remember at the time thinking “where did he come from” as he was doing his best work at the finish and really staying on up the hill. Although in the twilight of his career he ran well over these marathon trips last season finishing 4th in the Welsh National and 2nd in both the National trial at Haydock and in the Midlands National. The ground should not be an issue today and he has had a good break since Cheltenham whereas one or two of his rival have run much more recently in testing ground over these extended trips. With the stable in goodish form this represents a drop in class for Ballyfitz and I am expecting a very bold show.
