With the month drawing to a close and our betting service showing a remarkable 120% profit on investment so far, our attentions are turned to the jumps action today.
3.20 Weth. Phillippides 1pt. 8/1 Hills
I always thought Phillippides would make a better chaser than hurdler, and he still has plenty of time on his side to prove that to be the case, which means that his current chase mark of 136 could be lenient
He was deemed good enough to contest the grade 1 novices stayers hurdle at Aintree in 2010, but didn't stay. Last season he showed a great deal of promise in his first 2 novice chases, before disappointing in his next 2 runs. With his stable in excellent from and conditions looking perfect, 8/1 could under estimate his chances if returning in decent heart.
4.30 Weth. Ngong Hills 1pt. 13/2 General
The favourite, Wide Receiver was very impressive when winning last time, but is up in class today and has gone up a whopping 20lbs since that run. He could well win again, but we are going to take a chance with Ngong Hills, at 13/2.
He shaped last time at Carlisle that there are still races in him at the age of 10. Today he returns to Wetherby where he has an unbeaten 3 race record. Off a mark of 96, he should go very well and represents decent value at 13/2.
4.55 Uttox. Master Somerville 0.5pt 10/1 general
A slightly speculative selection, but fits a very similar profile to the stables Wessex King, who won at Stratford last weekend. Both horses lost their way last year, and as a result start this season on very tempting marks.
Wessex King won first time out, and with Master Somerville having form under these conditions and Richard Johnson on board he could go very well if fit enough today.
He has won off 108 in the past, so is worth chancing at 10/1 off a mark of 101.
