Hi all,
Just to let you know this week’s notebook will be with you later this evening, along with some selections from the first day of Ayr’s Western Meeting.
I also have an each-way selection running at Sandown this afternoon.
Sandown
4:35 – It will be interesting to see what impact the wind-op has had on the John Gosden trained Sucellus. The colt has only had the four career starts. This will be the top weights first since May but he looks on a competitive mark if the procedure has had the desired effect.
My each-way preference is for the Marronnier. A winner over C&D back in July, he’s since gone onto to finish runner-up over C&D, off 1lb lower, before a slightly below par run when 5th of 7 here. Trainer has said that he felt they rode the aggressively last time and he’s been given a 41-day break to get over those exertions.
The gelding has only had seven starts and if you ignore his last run, he was essentially a progressive horse who can rate higher than his present mark of 86.
The 15/2 available this morning looks solid each way value to me given his liking for C&D.
Marrionnier – 15/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – each way
Cheers
John
