Just the two form based selections today as you are spoilt for choice already with 2 info tips and some quality looking bets from the guest tipster Casey (see post entitled Special Guest Appearance).
6:15 Fontwell - CLU AGUS CAIL (4.5 place Betfair) - 2 points (** Rating) - Now this horse is a bit of a speculative selection but I think she will run a good race and has every chance of finishing in the first 3. The horse looked to be progressing very nicely last season over fences and saw he OR rise from 85 to 97. Although the form of a few of her races haven't worked out particularly well I believe that she still has room for improvement off her current mark and she has always been a horse which the trainer/owner believed to be a reasonable chasing prospect. She gets into today's race off bottom weight and although the GS ground is unknown territory it may actually work in her favour as she isn't horse with an abundance of tactical speed. The jockey is also able to claim 3lb today and for me his is good value for that especially over fences at this course where he holds a 21% strike rate.
8:15 Fontwell - NO NO CHARLIE (2/1) - 15 Point win (**** Rating) - A good looking bumper race ends the card at Fontwell today and I really fancy the Longsdon horse to take all the beating. His third placed finish at Chepstow in April sets the standard and he is a proven performer on softish ground. He has a solid racing pedigree and has been blessed with plenty of tactical speed, the yard operates at an incredible strike rate in races of this kind and with Brennan in the saddle (only ride at the meeting), I fully expect this horse to win.
Starting Bank = 609.32
Total Bets (including info selections) = 37 points
Well anyone who got on NO NO Charlie at the advised price of 2/1 should be very very happy right now.
