Weekly NAP Competition, day 4, Wednesday 1st July 2015


Recommended Posts

2.20 Worcester: Forever My Friend 8/1 bet365/Skybet Peter Bowen saddles this one in the opener at Worcester and Jaime Moore rides who won on him here last June. He's 2lbs lower than when he won that day too so is obviously well handicapped on his best form. Likes the quick ground and we can safely ignore his last run when he was coming back after a lay off and running on softish ground which he doesn't go on.

8.45 Kempton: Handicap (Class 3), 1m 4f This race looks to be between the top two in the betting. You can forgive Majeed's recent poor showing at Newmarket. He is better judged on the impressive performance here at Kempton before. However I feel thw additional furlong today as well as the much bigger weight will make life tough and he's easily oppose for that reason, particularly given his short price. No doubt Plutocracy is a very talented, but also fragile individual. He had only ten career starts to date, which is low mileage for a fife year old. That says he's best fresh anyway, his record clearly indicates that. I think you can draw a line under his Doncaster performance in November when last seen. Testing ground was never to suit. He run with loads of credit the other two times last season, though. Off a handy mark today, he has a major chance in this field if he is fit and ready to go. Th trip is no issue and the All-Weather shouldn't be one either. The yard is going well and the trainer/jockey combo has a 35% strike rate over the last twelve month - Plutocracy looks overpriced today. Plutocracy @ 4/1 Coral

8:15 Kempton - Late Shipment - 1pt win 20/1 BetVictor Formerly with Mark Johnston this horse has once ran over 16f at Chester in September 2014 which although finishing 3rd was in retrospect a good effort carrying 9-7 against horses who later ended up higher in the handicap than First Shipment. Jamie Osbourne is a fantastic trainer of AW horses when fancied and this horse, in his first run for Osbourne went off 10/3 second favourite at Sandown and ultimately disappointed but back on a favoured AW surface (won a 12f handicap by 10 lengths earlier in his career) hopefully we'll see an improved showing tonight.

T4.00 Kodicil 11/1 Betvictor Jason Hart is more known for booting sprinters home, but he's a great jockey and has won on this horse before from just a handful of rides. When the horse races on the flat, it need 2 miles in fast ground to show its best and that's exactly what it gets here. The horse races off just a 4lb higher mark than its last flat win which this jockey was on board for. Both trainer and jockey have good strike rates this season and both have decent records at the course.
