FLASH BARDOT – 1/2 Pt EW @ 40/1 Bet365 5 places, 28/1 boosts Hills/Lads 5 places
Speculative so could blow as she is one who needs the rain to arrive. He form with genuine cut in the ground is up there with the best of these and she has been running better than the bare form reads, travelling well before unable to quicken on ground faster than ideal IMO. She now gets lumps of weight off re-opposing rivals with George Bass’s 3lb claim an extra bonus, as his booking as he was her last winning jockey AND his combo with Jack Channon is tremendous, especially here over this distance so again, thought worth chancing given the forecast??
2:40 Haydock
NOVUS – 1/2 Pt EW @ 20/1 generally
One who needs the rain to arrive, form figures on good to soft or softer read an impressive 2,2,1,1,1,1,1! The step up in trip is the unknown but breeding suggests she could improve for it and may have a turn of foot unlike ALL the others in this so if the rain does come, the price will dramatically shorten IMO so although we need all of the 8-10mm forecast, worth chancing overnight at tasty odds.
