Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Monday; Juniper Tree in the Naas 3.05. Compare odds and bet.
After a very successful week at the Galway Festival, it’s over to Ireland once again for today’s first selection of the week.
After a hugely promising debut behind stable-mate Australia at the Curragh last month Juniper Tree (3:05) sets a decent standard in the 7f maiden at Naas.
The Galileo colt is out of the top-class race mare Alexander Goldrun and holds a stack of big race entries, indicating that the beautifully bred two-year-old is held in high regard. He ought to be tough to beat here, before going on to bigger and better things.
Monday’s selection:
3:05 Naas: Juniper Tree; 4/5 bet365
