BillyHills Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 3.45 Ripon: Eccleston 4/1 Bet365 Last time this one won was August last year at Thirsk and that was off the same mark as he races off today (91). Not been in the best of form lately but showed much more last time out at Doncaster and the O'Meara yard are in better form now. Best form is on soft ground but has won on good so i'm not worried about that, or the fact that stable jockey Danny Tudhope is not on board as he hasn't been riding this one lately, we have an able deputy in Silvester De Sousa.

MagisterLudi Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) 17:15 Carlisle Gone With the Wind 1pt win 11/8 Coral (BOG) The selection has won 2/6 in this class of race and is 1/1 at the course. Unpenenalised for a victory last time out, There's a few handy opponents if the mood takes them but otherwise the selection appears to have a decent chance.

BillyHills Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 8.00 Windsor: Julia Dream 5/4 Ladbrokes Jockey pat Cosgrove and trainer Wille Haggas could have a decent day on Monday, they have a well fancied runner at Kempton in the afternoon and then team up with Julia Dream in the evening. Only 7 runners in this maiden and the selection is well ahead on ratings at the moment. This filly has finished second at Lingfield and Salisbury and looks to have found a decent opportunity to get off the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 7.30 Windsor: Stake Acclaim EW 9/1 Betfred Dean Ivory has three runners here and i reckon Stake Acclaim is the one to concentrate on with Robert Winston in the saddle. Won here back in April on soft ground and then was drawn wrong at Goodwood. Last time out he seemed to need the run after a break at Sandown and should be spot on here now. Has been dropped in the weights to a winnable mark and looks a fair price in an open contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalfh Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Naas Preview Decent enough card as usual at Naas with the potentially smart Leo Minor winning the opener as well as a cracking maiden at 4.25 which has little betting appeal but a very expensive Ballydoyle colt coming up against two potentially smart Qatar owned runners including one by Frankel. In the 2.55 Almanaara is proving to be disappointing after being bought for a huge some but he's taking a drop down in class after a decent run in a Curragh maiden. The horse who finished just in front of him bolted up in a maiden next time so if he can step forward from his reappearance and the first time visor brings out some improvement too he should be able to win this weak enough affair. Flowerhill Nova has some decent form but I don't see how he has been backed into favourite as he looks a bit exposed. The first handicap is up at 3.25 and it is full of pretty exposed types with Tribal Path now a non runner. Captain Power has dropped down to a mark he has been competitive off in the past and his run at the Curragh last time where he travelled nicely through the race suggested he is ready to win a race when dropped in class. Lynam is one to keep on side in these races and with not much else in the race, Captain Power looks a good bet at 7/2. The next race isn't a very appealing betting heat but I'll keep an eye on Danz Gift. I was close to putting this up as a selection after being dropped 2lbs for running a decent race at Dundalk last time when he travelled best but the trainers runner's often need the run so he is one to keep onside in the future perhaps. Helvic looks the bet in the 4.55. He improved in headgear when finishing 3rd at Gowran Park over 7f from a car park draw which is nearly impossible to win from. That piece of form may be underrated because of that and this lightly raced handicapper should be competitive in this lower grade. The next race looks in the bag for Intrepid Prince who runs here with a penalty after an easy win at Galway. It's a poor race but I could see Shepherds Crook going well for a place. However there's been a non runner taking the field down to 15 runners so the place terms are no longer attractive. 2.55 Naas - Almanaara @ 7/4 Betfred 3.25 Naas - Captain Power @ 7/2 Betfred 4.55 Naas - Helvic @ 13/2 BetVictor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
