NAP – Best selection of the evening
THE NAP (BEST BET) RUNS OVER JUMPS AT CHELTENHAM ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON!
Cheltenham 1.30 Faivoir (11/8)
Beat a good horse in Minella Drama to win a Grade 2 at Haydock in January; big run in defeat when third to The Shunter in the Morebattle at Kelso; made hard work of it last time but still on an upward trajectory.
It’s hard to knock FAIVOIR here as his form really stacks up. He is 4 from 7 over hurdles and while he had to fight to win again last time he did get on top at the line and the second Will Carver might not be a bad horse anyway. His previous form when winning a Grade 2 at Haydock and chasing home The Shunter and Night Edition at Kelso would be more than good enough to take this out. This small field scenario suits him and he should have too much. Torn And Frayed is a likeable type who finds plenty so he has to be respected but I can see the selection travelling all over him. Witness Protection may pose the greater threat as he is back in a novice now and almost certainly has more to come.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) RUNS ON THE AW AT KEMPTON ON WEDNESDAY!
Kempton 8.15 Gunnerside (7/4)
Well bred sort who showed little last season but returned a different horse winning impressively at Newcastle over this trip a week ago; made virtually all and ran on strongly; makes handicap debut now but surely more to come?
I’m surprised GUNNERSIDE opened as big as 2/1! By the time I had got the website live last night he had already been trimmed into 7/4 and this morning the money has been relentless. He could even end up going off odds-on given the weight of money. His profile certainly suggests he has more to offer and he could easily prove a cut above these. With no obvious pace angle it will be interesting to see if they force it with him again. He did look to enjoy himself last time and if he’s well handicapped I guess they’ll want to keep it simple? He is bred to be better than a mark of 50 so even under a penalty he is comfortably the one they have to beat. Elusif is consistent and likes it here. Main danger.
