Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Thursday; Stilletto in the Wincanton 15:40. Compare odds and bet.
Though there remains a slight question mark over this trip STILLETTO (3:40) is fancied to land the Dick Hunt Handicap Chase at Wincanton on Thursday.
Paul Nicholls’ seven-year-old also may not be the most straightforward, but there is no doubting he has plenty of natural ability and I believe he is still ahead of the handicapper.
A smooth winner on his debut over fences, in a race that has worked out well since, the Westerner gelding travelled supremely well when beaten over shorter at Newbury last time.
Racing off the same mark and with the heavy ground not an issue, the former Philip Hobbs innate can return to winning ways (won a maiden hurdle for Hobbs having won an Irish point to point before being bought by Roger Brookhouse).
Thursday’s selection:
3:40 Wincanton – Stilletto; 11/2 Coral
