Seems to be a few of these popping up recently so thought I'd jump on the bandwagon! Sorry for the crude title also!! Rules for selection: Not rules as such as they are merely just a guideline as to what I might select, if a prospect comes up I will still stick it up even if it doesn't match the rules entirely! - Bets will mostly be Non-Handicap races - With 6+ runners - Mixture of both Hurdles & Chases (For the time being) - No set type of bet but 90% will be Win & E/W I will start with a bank of 200pts with a level staking plan of 10pts per bet. Total Bets: 0 Total Staked: 0pts Total Returned: 0pts Strike Rate: 0/0 (0%) Longest Winning Streak: 0 Longest Losing Streak: 0 Previous Bank: 200pts New Bank: 200pts Here goes...

Mewstone last ran 16 days ago in her hurdling debut under Paddy Brennan and won very comfortably to Kielder Rise. Steps up in distance though should cope as all her races have come on pretty testing ground.

Over Sixty finished 2^nd to

Golan Way

at Cheltenham lto. Beat American Trilogy in that race who is a pretty decent horse so is certainly a good prospect. Should cope with the increase in distance as she has looked pretty comfortable in her past outings.

Carole’s Legacy won both her bumpers including a good quality class 1 at Aintree in which she beat Over Sixty by 6L and also has an extra 3lbs in her favour here today. Was 2^nd on hurdling debut at the start of the month being comfortably beaten by Shoreacres.

Suggestion:

Over Sixty – Win @ 10/11 Ladbrokes 13-20 Uttoxeter

Starburst Diamond last ran 24 days ago (4^th) at Warwick getting beat by winner Officier De Reserve by 11½L. Likes the ground soft and won at this distance in the past. Could put in a big run with Jack Doyle offsetting the penalty by 3lbs.

Cast Cada should improve for last run and step up back to 3 miles should be perfect. Ground is about right and could go for a place at least.

Comhla Ri Coig has only the one run over hurdles with it coming 19 days ago where he finished 3 at Kelso. Will stay the distance and if the pace isn’t fast he could have a good chance.

Gypsy George is a course & distance winner who is a chase horse though drops back to hurdles for the 1^st time. Won a class 2 chase lto here at Uttoxeter off a mark of 127. Has bags of ability if he takes to the hurdles and should be in good form despite a break of 208 days.

Suggestion:

Comhla Ri Coig – E/W @ 7/1 BlueSQ Todays Picks Newbury 12-25 - Over Sixty Win @ 10/11 Uttoxeter 13-20 - Comhla Ri Coig E/W @ 7/1
