1.50 Goodwood Bless Him 14/1 SkyBet

 

Stepping up to 1m 2f for the first time and the way he runs suggests it should suit perfectly, especially on this sharper track. He is bred to stay this far and I think he will improve for it. He has also improved each run this season and as a lightly raced 5 year old I think there could be further general improvement.

[Naps - Saturday July 27th]

Gabrial the one 11/2 BV

 

Doesn't seem to quite get home over 1m 4f and doesn't quite have the pace for 1m 2 1/2f on good ground but I think soft ground at 1m 2 1/2f at Chester will be perfect for the horse. I can see him going well at a course he likes.

[Racing Chat - Saturday July 27th]

Given the change in ground I've gone for a few outsiders who may go under the radar.

 

5.35 Chester  Gabrial The One, I actually think 1m 2 1/2f on soft ground are the perfect conditions for him, especially at a track where he runs very well. Strongly fancied here.

 

5.00 Newmarket  - James Watt looks extremely over priced given he is one of the few to have proven soft ground form. Has drifted all day but just means a better price for me.

4.35 Newmarket - Imperial Court, again has distance form on soft ground and connections are running him despite him being out of the handicap.

5.20 Ascot - Lariat, Proven on the soft and looks to be improving. Should have no issues with the stiffer track.
