Hi all,
Carlisle faces a morning inspection due to heavy ground. if they do race at the Cumbria track we do have an eyecatcher running.
Carlisle
2:45 – The Last Day – 4/7 – Gen – Trainer Evan Williams looks to have found a good opportunity for the the 7-year-old to get off the mark over fences. He won’t have any issues with the testing ground as he won on heavy over hurdles. Sadly his odds don’t set the pulse racing.
Over the Irish Sea at Wexford there is an interesting looking Veterans handicap chase.
Wexford
4:00 – Westerner Point – 11/4 @ William Hill & Coral – Is the reliable option. The 10-year-old put in a career best over fences when winning a valuable handicap chase at Limerick over Christmas. He’s no eligible for Veterans Chases. Up 7lb for his last win but he’s in the form of his life and could well be able to defy his rise in the ratings in this race. The 80-day layoff shouldn’t be a problem as the selection is 3 wins from 6 runs 4 placed when returning form 60+ day layoff. His form figures here at Wexford are 211, in March 11121 and 1111 on soft or soft to heavy going. A solid win contender.
Cheers
John
