Paul Ferguson has two selections for us today; Side Glance in the 3.55 (Donc) and Leceile in the 4.15 (Lime) Compare odds and bet
Andrew Balding’s Side Glance (3:55) has upwards of 7lbs in hand on official ratings and is therefore fancied to land the Listed Doncaster Mile on his seasonal reappearance this afternoon.
The five-year-old went from strength to strength last term and wound up by taking his chance in the QEII Stakes at Ascot last time. Clearly this is a much easier task and connections will no doubt be disappointed if he doesn’t make a winning start to the campaign.
Over in Ireland the Follow Limerick Racecourse On Twitter Mares Hurdle can go the way of Leceile (4:15) despite having been off the track since winning at Fairyhouse in October.
Noel Meade’s six-year-old was hugely impressive that day under a motionless Paul Carberry, having chased home Steps To Freedom at the same track a couple of weeks earlier.
She needs to step forward again here, as she faces a useful mare in the shape of Little Green, but she looks more than capable of progressing judged on her form in the autumn and she’s potentially quite decent.
Sunday’s selections:
3:55 Doncaster Side Glance (5/4 VC)
4:15 Limerick Leceile
