fintron Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 3.10 - Atabaas Pride - was never really out of the frame as a 2 yo last term and finished the campaign with a win at Newcastle after being narrowly pipped by a neck by Dandy Nicholls' Fol Hollow on its previous run (Fol Hollow built on that win by later winning again at Ripon and came third on its reappearance this season when upped to a class 2 handicap). Atabaas Pride ran a good race on soft ground at Ayr when only beaten by a neck so it wouldn't be a worry in conditions deteriorate and resumes the turf season off only a 1 lb higher mark than that win at Newcastle. 5/2 Bet 365 BOG 4.20 - Franksalot - CD winner here around this time last season off 1 lb lower mark. Followed up with a win at Hamilton next time and then with a 3rd win at Pontefract shortly after. The last of those wins came off a mark of 66 to suggest he could score again today (rated 58). A 3rd placed finish LTO behind Jessica Wigmo at Kempton could have freshened him up and another positive is the jockey booking of Royston Ffrench - all of his wins last season came under Ffrench. 6/1 Bet 365 BOG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
