Today we have an interesting meeting at Huntingdon, and there are a couple from my alert list running.
In the 3:50 DE BLACKSMITH has his chase debut and this horse is bred to be a chaser. He caught my eye last January when winning a hurdle race at Plumpton in game fashion. Highly tried after that, he was out of his depth. Not a great idea to bet on chasing debutants, especially as there is good support fir the likes of Bucking The Trend and Loudmouth, but 14/1 looks fair and I will have a nibble in the place-only market.
The 2nd horse running today from my alert list is MULDOONS PICNIC. He looks a decent chaser in the making after winning his last couple of races. It is the soft ground that is a worry and so I would not take a small price, but 4/1 looks fair for a small win wager.
Selection:
Huntingdon 4:50, MULDOONS PICNIC, £10 win @ 4/1 (William Hill and Stan James, both go BOG).
What an easy winner! Finished virtually alone at an SP of 5/1. That's another £50 in the bank.
