BBOTD > Thursday May 1st

[Aidymac]

Punchestown 5:30 - Ladbrokes World Series Hurdle(Grade 1) 3m At Fishers Cross has been rather disappointing for me this season but his 2nd behind Whisper last time out at Aintree was still a run full of promise as he ran the race with a loose shoe for the most part. Tony McCoy takes the ride on the Rebecca Curtis horse but if he brings his A-game he won't be far away at the finish. Another horse that may outrun his odds is Sadlers Risk, the former Philip Hobbs horse has finished 3rd in a Grade 1 at Aintree in the past and he was once well fancied for the Triumph Hurdle. It is not known if he still has that ability but he is only having his third run for Henry De Bromhead tomorrow and with the yard in form he could well put in an unexpected big run.

Re: BBOTD > Thursday May 1st 15.25 Redcar: Dream Walker @ 3/1 Coral Eye-catching second at Yarmouth recently, travelling very well in midfield but not getting a clear run, basically stuck in traffic until switching wide. The eventual winner had the run of the race, while Dream Walker clearly had not, which made the difference in the end. He still finished a nice and easy second under hands and heels, not far beaten. He can race off the same mark tomorrow, the drop in trip should be a problem as he has won over 7f in the past, and the soft ground will be very much to his advantage. He was very progressive last year and he seems not finished yet.
