2.45 Chosen Character 2pt win 8/1
generally 9/1 Sky
There are 2 horses that are running at Catterick today that
we have backed this season and I’ve suggested are worth keeping an eye on. Crown Choice in the 3.20 and Chosen Character
in the 2.45. Crown Choice has the
outside stall so will need plenty of luck in running. There doesn’t look to be a massive amount of
early pace in the race, so I’m happy to leave him alone today, and wait for
another day, possibly Ripon on Wednesday.
Chosen Character has a double figure stall in his race too,
but due to his running style, and the fact that this race looks full of
potential front runners, I’m prepared to take a chance on him, although again
he will need the gaps to open at the right time.
He’s a well handicapped horse, who has shaped well on a
couple of occasions this season, and today is the first time this year, that he
has encountered a sound surface over 7 furlongs with the visor on. Everything is in place for him to go well
today, and 8/1 looks a fair price.

Dash – Epsom Saturday 2nd June
1pt
win Jamesway 14/1 generally
Jamesway travelled like the best
handicapped horse in this race last year, when beaten under a length off a mark
of 88. This year he turns up off 83, and
with a decent draw in stall 18, he holds an obvious form chance, and currently
looks overpriced at 14/1.
You need a massive amount of luck
to win this race, and that is one factor that you can’t take into account, but
I can see him sitting on the stands side rail for the first 4 furlongs, and if
he gets an opening at the right moment he should go close.

Park Racing, who own Jamesway, strike me as an outfit who are more concerned at
landing a big prize at the feature festivals, as opposed to racking up the
winners like they did in their early days.
A number of their horses seem to be campaigned with one particular
target a year. I think this is
Jamesway’s target, and I can see horses like Tajneed being teed up for one of
the big handicaps at Ripon, and Victoire De Lyphar being laid out for something
like the Stewards Cup later in the summer.
