NAP – Best selection of the evening
THE NAP (BEST BET) RUNS ON THE FLAT AT LEICESTER ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON!
Leicester 2.40 Dirty Rascal (7/4)
Likeable type who has made a bright start for this yard going down just a neck at Doncaster last month before building on that to win well at Wolverhampton latest; 5lb penalty shouldn’t be enough to stop him.
I liked the way DIRTY RASCAL won over 6f at Wolverhampton on Monday and with the step back up to 7f likely to suit as long as this doesn’t come too soon I think he is the one they have to beat. George Boughey has impressed and quite a few of his horses have managed to rack up a sequence of wins. This horse has won off a mark of 87 in the past so still looks well handicapped. He is seen to best effect when they go a good clip so hopefully a couple take each other on early to make it an end-to-end gallop. Soaring Star is interesting in opposition as Kevin Ryan has his horses in good order. He needs to improve though back from a break following a wind op. Apollinaire is also worth noting.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) WON YESTERDAY AND RUNS AT KEMPTON!
Kempton 6.10 Almost You (15/8)
Improved to make a winning start for this yard here in January and ran a big race in defeat when third at Lingfield last month; didn’t have much luck last time so with a clearer run through could go in again.
It’s hard to look past French mare ALMOST YOU here and I’m surprised she isn’t shorter to be honest. Her win here in January was a really good effort and with better luck in-running she might have followed up at Lingfield. Back at this track she looks to have plenty in favour and she is by far and away the most likely winner. Petit Bay remains unexposed so is feared most but she is back from a lengthy absence and has needed the run on return in the past. It will be interesting to see how she runs. Temur Khan is running to a consistent level and should be on the premises again probably finding a couple too good. Both Thermal and Famous Dynasty need to get back to their best to get involved.
