Short Listed Rebel Duke, Tajneed, Cheveton, Whiskey Creek
Rebel Duke makes the short list and though making a step up in grade, he’s the obvious selection in a race which is a class 2 handicap in name only. Whiskey Creek is overlooked from out of the handicap and poor draw.
Tajneed could be anything and hails from a yard where even the stable cat is winning races. However, as an All Weather debutant he fails my litmus test.
Cheveton is unexposed and picked up wins at grade 1 course’s last year. Has previous on this surface, if he can continue his form running fresh, in my book he looks the likely winner.
Cheveton @ best price available
Southwell 4.25
Short Listed Handsinthemist , Sherjawy, Magic Glade, Chantilly Jewel
The majority of the field are proven losers so it a process of elimination from those that remain in this bottom of the barrel event.
Handsinthemist – poor draw Sherjawy – Top weight and hold up performer on a front running surface.
Magic Glade, and Chantilly Jewel @ best price available
