BOUCLIER - 9/4 Paddy Power

There has been a strong word in the village for BOUCLIER and the early birds could have got on at around 5/1 in the opening exchanges.
Now less than half those odds,the support is interesting given the selection hasn't been seen on a racecourse since finishing 12th of 12 at Kempton some 178 days ago.
Six times a winner,the 8 yo gelding is useful when right and clearly the application of first time blinkers is expected to have a desired effect. The booking of Luke Morris for the ride,catches the eye..

1.05 Lingfield

ASTROSPEED - 5/2 Paddy Power

James Fanshawe is no stranger to having winners on the all weather circuits and he can notch up another one here with ASTROSPEED.
  Formerly trained in Ireland,the selection looked to have improved for a switch to this stable when second behind a useful sort at Kempton earlier in the month.
The winner of that Kempton race has gone on to win again since,so the form looks rock solid..
