Win & Place Disadv. – Class

Although well beaten over the same distance last time & off the same
mark, I think there is a good value bet fo the place market with

Vivarini

& expect him to fight it out with

Deep Pockets

&

Quay Meadow

. Good value to back

Vivarini

at 22.0 & 5.8 e/way.

Trainer Course Chase Record

Win Disadv. – Weight

With the trainers other horse

Quartz Du Montceau

out along with

Hobb’s Dream

, gives

Portrait Royale

an excellent chance. The trainer has a 30% chase win record at Plumpton & as long as the extra weight isn’t to much of a burden over 3 & a 1/4 miles in what is a weak race, should have a really good chance.

Portrait Royale

3.65 to back.

offers good e/way value. I think the race will be contested between

Albertas Run

,

Kalahari King

&

Poquelin

. Albertas Run 9.6 to back & 3.2 e/way.

16:00 AYR H’CAP HURDLE CLASS 2 3M GOOD

DOUBLE HIT 4.1 BACK (WIN ONLY)

Win Adv. – Weight
Trainer Course Hurdle Record
Course Characteristics

Win Disadv. – Class

I expect

Double Hit

to repeat the recent Newbury win off the same
mark & with the jockey weight allowance. The course characteristics
are exactly the same at Ayr & with the trainer’s course record, looks
a good value bet.

Caroles Legacy

has a chance & should be in the place market
with possibly

Pakanoket

.

Double Hit

4.1 to back.

In what is a short field over 17f, I think

has an
excellent chance despite being top weight.

She’s Humble

&

Croon

could feature in the place market.

I think

Crazy Bold

has the best chance & comes out top on my
ratings. My main concern is the extra weight, although it’s only
over 2m. I expect

Jenny Potts

I think our chosen horse

is a competitve race, with about six horses capable of winning.

Rosbay

I think with

Beat The Rush

now out of the race, this gives

Monkton Vale

a good chance.

Judiciary

is unknown over the distance &

Dancing Dude

is carrying a bit of weight.

Monkton Vale

reasonable value to back at 4.2.

I think

Finbin

&

Overton lad

have a similar chance of winning
& the value lies with

Finbin

Win & Place Adv. – Distance

Win & Place Disadv. – Class

With rain getting into the ground in the north east of England, this should play more favourably into Crystal Feather’s hands & I expect good place claims, along with top weight Visions Of Johanna. Crystal Feather 8.4 to back & 2.66 e/way.

In what is a tricky race with the weights, I think Babycakes is handicapped better & should have a good chance along with Sea Of Heartbreak. Babycakes 5.7 to back.

Todays win only selection & a bit of an outsider punt.

With a previous course win at the same distance & ground conditions to suit & the trainers superb course record, I think Count Bertoni odds are more than generous & should be about 12/1 .
