Hi all,
Just one selection from Leicester this evening but its going to be a busy weekend. with the Irish Derby Festival getting underway at the Curragh on Friday evening and the Northumberland Plate Meeting at Newcastle on Friday & Saturday.
Leicester
6:45 – Blackheath is increasingly looking regressive and he’s 0-13, 1 place since switching to Michael Dods yard. On the plus side the 7-year-old is a former C&D winner and all three of his turf wins have come on good to firm/firm ground. Today’s field size looks another positive as he’s 4-16 +9.25 9 placed when racing in field sizes 11 & under. Compared with 0-26 3 placed in race with 12+ runners. Not one for maximum faith but the yard is among the winners. The first time visor replaces the cheekpieces which looks a last throw of the dice but provided the ground is on the fast side I think we’ll see a much better performance from him.
1pt win – Blackheath – 15/2 @ Gen.
Cheers
John
