NAP – Best selection of the day
THE NAP WAS BACK TO WINNING WAYS YESTERDAY AND RUNS AT FFOS LAS ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON!
Ffos Las 2.05 Air Horse One (3/1)
Talented grey who shaped as though needing the run when down the field at Plumpton on return; should strip fitter now and handicapper has certainly given him a chance; blinkers on and no surprise to see him back to his best.
A mark of 128 looks too good to pass up for AIR HORSE ONE on Thursday. He is a talented horse who should come on for his reappearance run at Plumpton. He is now 4lb below his last winning mark and will go well in the testing conditions. Iron Horse won well at Uttoxeter but the handicapper has hit him with a 10lb rise which looks harsh to me. He is respected though and Whoshotwho is also a danger if jumping more fluently.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST HAS WON TWICE IN THE LAST THREE DAYS AND RUNS AT LINGFIELD ON THURSDAY!
Lingfield 1.55 Sky Defender (11/2)
Useful colt who looked on the upgrade when winning well at Bath in May, making all the running; things obviously didn’t go to plan behind Headman at Newbury but was hampered; given time since and no surprise to see him bounce back.
I’ve taken a chance on one at a price here for Mark Johnston. SKY DEFENDER looks too big at 11/2 (did open at 8’s but missed it) as he obviously had excuses when finished last at Newbury and given time since could resume his progression. A mark of 85 looks well within reach and if ready to go could be a danger to all. El Ghazwani is probably the most talented here but isn’t straightforward. Time Change is probably the main danger.
