Cheltenham 3.35 - Handicap Chase - Amateur Jockeys - 3 miles 1 furlong - Good to Soft - 19 run
We have to take many of the field on trust in terms of race fitness and past evidence suggests that most will come on for the run, although a wet late summer and early Autumn should ensure most have had plenty of time on the grass gallops already this time around.
I want to TRACK the Irish raider St Dennis Well forwards, and whilst I fear Mole Court and the race fit Strictlyadancer, a couple of horses with proven form here and good Autumn form really stand out.
WICK GREEN ran his best two races last season over Course and Distance early season and will no doubt be ready to try to repeat that this time round. He runs off a very appealing mark of 115 here. THE NEWEST ONE has excellent form running fresh and was runner up over Course and Distance first time out last season and looks another promed to run well (RJ)
-------
Doncaster 5.25 Handicap Chase - Class 5 - Soft - 15 run
A lot here with chances on proven soft ground form in this tight contest but the more I looked, the more I am drawn to the outsider of the field LUNAR JET. A very nice mark and a substantial drop in trip looks ideal to generate a bold show here and despite the early price I'll be disappointed if we aren't in the first 4 home (Northern)
-------
Sligo 4.50 Handicap Hurdle - 3 miles 1/2 furlong - Yielding to Soft - 15 run
BROKEN ICE looks to have an excellent chance here reverting back to Hurdles and with some important proven Course and Distance form off a nice hurdle mark is a confident each way selection. RAJIN CAJUN was bang in contention and a tip when falling last time out and repeat of that run together with a safer passage will surely take him in to the first 4 home at least. (MG)
