BBOTD Saturday 3rd of September

[Aidymac]

Simon De Montfort - Kempton 2:15 Versatile horse who has won 5 races from 9 runs, and won a big handicap at Meydan in the process. Did most of its winning in France but although he ran a bit flat last time out at Windsor , he was just behind Dux Scholar and Prince Siegfried and Dux Scholar has won a Listed race and i think my selection has every chance tomorrow and i think it is nailed on for a place so is a reasonable price. Harris Tweed should prove the biggest danger dropping down in trip with stable going well, wont have his stamina as strectched tomorrow. Modun is up in class so might struggle. Myplacelater is a bit hit and miss so hard to know what you will get with that horse. Confident of a place i am. E/W @ 11/2 Boylesports BOG

Re: BBOTD Saturday 3rd of September H2.30 Ashbrittle 0.5pt E/W 18/1 SkyBet Well I certainly got the price by posting early yesterday despite the horse not reading the script (16/1 into 3/1f), so hoping for better on this one for Saturdays race. It's a lightly raced 4-y-o who was leading at this distance on its only previous visit to the track over 2 furlongs further. The drop back in trip looks sure to suit and it's been dropped a couple of pounds in the handicap. Indeed unlike a lot of these, it's highest winning mark is only just below its mark for this race which considering that it's lightly raced and open to improvement is a big plus. The horse hasn't raced for a while so I don't know if the trainer has been waiting for this race his cards, but it's certaintly not an 18/1 chance in my book and it won't mind if any rain arrives at the track (it's forecast).
