Zipple Back NAP 2/1 Bet365
Alan King teams up with Noel Fehily here and they look the likley winners of a typical summer maiden hurdle. The 5yo Zipple Back has been placed in all four starts over hurdles and is arguably improving and slowly getting the hang of it. He has found a weak race today and should get off the mark.

3.40 Southwell: Class 5 Handicap, 6f

Captain Bob is a very infrequent winner, in fact his last "1" dates back to 2014. However a falling mark seems to have reinvigorate him, particularly on the All-Weather were he has been placed in all his three starts which all came earlier this year.

He also took relatively easily to the Southwell fibresand. In fact he produced a strong performance over 6f when only beaten by a head in the end. This piece of form looks rock solid and judged on it he appears now to be potentially well handicapped.

He followed up with a fine 3rd place at Brighton subsequently on fast ground over 6f but I feel it this more stamina focused test over the same trip at Southwell suits him slightly better, and probably even more so as we now know he acts on the surface and Captain Bob himself has learned how to race on fibresand. 

He's got a good draw and a red hot apprentice in the saddle, so this may represent the best chance in a very long time to finally get his head in front. 

Selection:

2.20 Stratford 

LADY LONGSHOT @ 5/1 Skybet


From the Scott stable that historically do well in May with there non bumper horses.  This one ran a good second last time against a horse that has won again since.  Extra 2f today should  suit in a race that lacks quality.  Money around also increases confidence.
