Paul Ferguson two selections for us on Saturday; Whiskey In the Jar in th Bangor 14:05 and Singlefarmpayment in the 3:00 at Newbury.
Tom George is fancied to lift today’s Ladbrokes Trophy Chase at Newbury, with Singlefarmpayment (3:00) who finished runner-up at the Cheltenham Festival and filled the same spot at the same track on his reappearance.
That run – runner-up to Cogry who re-opposes here – ought to have put him spot on for this and his narrow festival reversal reads quite well, with Go Conquer (5th) having won a brace of handicaps so far this term.
The seven-year-old remains on a mark from which he looks capable of winning a valuable handicap and, with conditions to his liking, a big run looks on the card in this afternoon’s feature.
Up at Bangor-On-Dee Whiskey In The Jar (2:05) is fancied to make a winning debut over hurdles, on his first start for trainer Olly Murphy.
A Warwick bumper winner for the Dan Skelton yard, the Oscar five-year-old relishes soft ground and, though he might want a bit further as the season unfolds, he ought to possess the requisite pace to score over the minimum trip under such conditions.
Saturday’s selections:
2:05 Bangor-On-Dee: Whiskey In The Jar; evens bet365
3:00 Newbury: Singlefarmpayment; 7/1 bet365
