Thursday’s Best Bets
ANOTHER BUSY DAY COMING UP! Away from Cheltenham on Thursday we also have action from Hexham, Down Royal, Southwell and Wolverhampton. Daily Double pays 3/1!
Scroll down to find our most confident selections (NAP & NB) PLUS race-by-race picks for every race across all FIVE meetings.
NAP – Best selection of the evening
Wolverhampton 6.30 High Velocity (1/1)
Promising colt who landed the hat-trick impressively over C&D 10 days ago, running on well and always doing enough; remains open to further improvement and a penalty shouldn’t be enough to stop him here.
I’ve been really impressed with HIGH VELOCITY so far and I think this Gutaifan colt can bring up the four-timer. He moved through the race strongly before always doing enough over track and trip last time and with the promise of more to come he should be too strong for these rivals. I think he’ll win this before moving up in grade. The danger is obviously Wyvern but he was slowly away last time and paid the price. He needs to bounce back so there might be value in backing Manhattanville to finish second. He is back down in trip and should come on for that reappearance run last time. Of the rest Little Prayer was third to the fav last time but at least meets on 6lb better terms now.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) RUNS OVER JUMPS AT HEXHAM ON THURSDAY!
Hexham 3.45 Camdonian (1/1)
Well bred sort who showed definite promise when runner-up on debut over hurdles at Chepstow back in November; jumping let him down at Warwick last month; better than that and good chance to bounce back.
I’m confident CAMDONIAN is the one to beat here. I think you can put a line through that Warwick run last month and if he resumes his progress after a very promising debut over hurdles at Chepstow he is going to take some stopping under Bridget Andrews. He still retains plenty of potential and could be a cut above these. Luke is the obvious danger as the market is suggesting and he has to be feared after going down just a neck at Market Rasen last time. Like the selection he should have more in the locker and should run well. It’s still early days for Roan so it will be interesting to see how he runs here but he looks to be bumping into a couple of useful prospects and likely needs more time.
