Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Monday; Wadswick Court in the Southwell 17:00. Compare odds and bet.
Charlie Longsdon saddles the useful Key To The West in the 2m4f novices’ hurdle at Southwell on Monday and, if the six-year-old lasts home over this longer trip, he looks sure to go close, but he faces another useful maiden in Wychwoods Brook as well as dual Market Rasen winner Saints And Sinners.
He is best watched in a competitive little heat, but the trainer can leave the Nottinghamshire track with a winner in the last courtesy of Wadswick Court (5:00) who can make it two from two in the bumper.
The well-regarded son of Court Cave only won by a neck over a furlong longer at Hereford, getting on top close home to beat the useful Amifunyyet. That would suggest that today’s slight drop in trip could be a slight negative, but it looked greenness to me that caused him to take a while to get the job done. He should have come on for that and the five-year-old looks a nice prospect.
Monday’s selection:
5:00 Southwell: Wadswick Court; 5/2 Betvictor
