BBOTD > Tuesday 2nd July

[Aidymac]

Manger Hanagement looks a big price going by my own tissue. The Barry Brennan trained 8 year old gelding was impressive back in April at Taunton when winning a Class 4 Handicap chase, beating the Tizzard horse Health Is Wealth, who was placed here at Stratford at 40/1 a couple of weeks ago. He is now only 2 pounds higher than that success at Taunton, so is handicapped to go well once more. He travelled well for a long way last time out at Fakenham over further, so the step back in trip should suit. Barry Brennan seldom runs a horse at Stratford, this is his 10th ever runner here, but he is 2 from 9 at the track. *Manger Hanagement > Stratford 7:10 > Each-Way @ 20/1 VC BOG*

Re: BBOTD > Tuesday 2nd July 16.00 Hamilton: Beacon Lodge @ 5/1 Paddy Power Beacon Lodge doesn't get any younger but this small field might play into his hands. I thought he showed a very impressive return to form at Ayr recently over 1m, when he travelled very well in the middle of the pack and looked to have a huge chance of winning the race but he found himself in a very difficult position where he couldn't get out and had to sit and suffer until very late when finally a bit of room emerged and he finished very strongly indeed. I think he would have taken this race with a clear run. So I think he can give the very short favourite a real race here tomorrow. Quick Wit looks to prefer a bit further actually and it is a possiblity that there won't be too much of pace on here tomorrow, which should then be in favour of Beacon Lodge i would like to think. Of course he has loads to find on ratings with the favourite, but for me it doesn't look all that clear as the odds are suggesting.
