2.20 I will avoid the top 3 in the betting and take a chance with South Bronx, The geldings form doesnt look too appealing but he has ran some creditable races over G&D in the past a few of them have also been in better classes carrying higher weights, also placed at bangor in class 3 carrying top weight. Advice South Bronx 1 Point E/W. 2.50 The top 2 in this Beginners chase look like the ones to concentrate on. Freeloader who ran in a Class 3 carrying 11st 12 to victory back in June last year looks like good formand could build upon his 6th last time out as this was his first run for the season. De Soto has been running some good races in Class 1 company and could bring that form off his current mark into this Class 4 race. Advice Freeloader 1 Point Win De Soto 1 Point Win. 3.20 Castlemore looks a interesting candidate in this Handicap chase, Nick Scholfield will be hoping to improve at this venue and could have a good chance here, Castlemore placed back in june off a similar mark and has just missed out before on placing carrying top weight. Advice Castlemore 1 Point E/W or 1 Point Win depending on price. 3.50 Withington could be a good E/W bet has won over this distance but does have ground worries has dropped down in the weights and has Richard Johnson on board which could be a ideal oppotuinty for him to improve, Win A Rose is another who could have good claims his Jockey Oliver Dayman has a immpressive 100% strike rate at this course and could build upon this, Has placed a couple of years back over G&D and is almost a stone better off with his claimer. Advice Withington 1 Point E/W Win A Rose 1 Point Win. 4.20 Coronados Gold record over G&D reads 220 and is now a couple of pounds down in weight on his best form and has Robert Thornton on board again and could improve and pick another win up, Dennick looks over priced considering he has won on G&D before, id carry only 10-2 but has just missed out on placing before carrying 9lbs more. Advice Coronados Gold 1 Point Win Dennick 1 Point E/W. 4.50 College City would need to improve on his recent outings but does have some good form to run a big race has run some big races off similar weights, Another Storm shouldnt be dismissed either, has got to over come a couple of pounds hike in the weights but this doesnt look the strongest of races to stop him. Advice College City 1 Point E/W Another Storm 1 Point E/W.
