National Hunt Racing > Thursday March 20th

[Aidymac]

Chepstow 2:30 Tom O'Brien is 2 wins from 4 rides when he rides for Debra Hamer here at Chepstow and I am a big fan of Tom, I think he is a brilliant jockey. This horse Pennant Dancer is yet to win a race after 14 starts but with cheekpieces going on tomorrow and down to a mark of 79 under a strong ride he should be able to figure. He has been tried over a variety of trips between 2 miles and 3 miles but his best run yet came at Ludlow two starts back over 2 miles where he finished 3rd to Great Link at 66/1 in a Class 4 contest (this is Class 5). He ran well for a long way at Taunton last time out but finished 6th, the heavy ground no good for him! Back on good ground over his ideal trip, I think he looks a very big price at 16/1. Pennant Dancer WIN @ 16/1 Bet365

Re: National Hunt Racing > Thursday March 20th Ludlow 4.40 - Oyster Shell (1pts win, 9/2 Paddy Power) Did it pretty easy lto landing the spoils here at Ludlow when he led from the front to score. He was slightly hampered by a loose horse that day on the run in but was pushed out to win and it would probably have been a much ore comfortable win that day. He has only had two chase starts and his jumping was a bit unpredictable on his chase debut but buckled down well to the task in the end and his jumping was much better in that lto win so I think he still has improvement to come over fences.
