Hi all,
Kempton
2:25 – Ar Mest a three-time 127 rated hurdler, unseated his rider three out at Fontwell on his seasonal return/chase debut. He looked to be in the process of going close but for that error in what now looks like was a decent novice chase. Ran well on his return to fences when third to Molineaux at Wincanton last month., the second that day has since gone onto win a handicap chase. He needs to improve further here but he was progressive over hurdles and this is only the 7-year-old’s third start over fences, so that’s possible.
1pt win – Ar Mest – 9/2 – Gen
3:30 – Waikiki Waves, like Ar Mest trained by Garry Moore, has been well placed by his trainer to win five of his seven starts over fences. The selection made a winning seasonal reappearance at Fontwell back in October. Was put up 10lb for that success but put in a decent effort off his new rating when 5th of 9 at Sandown last month. Had been off for 73-days prior to that run so may just have needed it and still bang in contention when making a race ending blunder at the last. Probably needs to find some more improvement to win off his present mark but the step up to an easy 3m could do the trick. Has an each-way chance in a decent looking handicap chase.
1pt each way – Waikiki Waves – 10/1 @ William Hill
Cheers
John
