Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Wednesday; Junction Fourteen in the Fontwell 13:10. Compare odds and bet.
The hurdling debut of Diamond King is the highlight at Wetherby on Wednesday, but he is bound to be short, so the day’s selection comes 10 minutes earlier from Fontwell.
Emma Lavelle and Aidan Coleman teamed up to provide us with a novice hurdle winner last week in the shape of useful looking stayer Swallowshide and they can repeat the trick here with Junction Fourteen (1:10) who shaped with an abundance of promise on his hurdling debut at Exeter recently.
Third in a warmer ever than this, the son of King’s Theatre travelled well for a long way and looked as though he would learn plenty for that initial experience. The four-year-old drops back in trip two furlongs this afternoon, but that shouldn’t be an inconvenience and he has more scope for improvement that the other main protagonists.
Wednesday’s selection:
1:10 Fontwell : Junction Fourteen; 15/8 William Hill
