Paul Ferguson has two selections for us on Wednesday; Great Example in the Salisbury 4.20 and Dromineer in the Ffos Las 5.10. Compare odds and bet.
Ffos Las stages a decent jumps card this afternoon, with the unbeaten Longhouse Sale perhaps the most exciting horse in action. It could be that he heads to Market Rasen for the Summer Hurdle after this, whilst both the novice chase and the extended 2m7f handicap chase are decent events for the time of year.
Although he faces some unexposed types – including a rare runner in this sphere from the Charlie Hills stable – I’m siding with Dromineer (5:10) in the concluding bumper.
David Pipe’s six-year-old made all and scored impressively at Taunton, and he has since had wind surgery. With Fergus Gillard on board to offset his penalty, the son of Oscar is taken to make it two from two.
Tom George’s filly Balladame – who receives plenty of weight – is respected, judged on her second over course-and-distance on debut.
A non-runner – due to the softening ground – in the King George V Stakes at Ascot last week, Great Example (4:20) had impressed me with the way he won a novice event at Ripon last month and is of interest in a competitive-looking handicap at Salisbury.
The Cape Cross colt is out of a Singspiel mare and ought to relish the step up to 1m4f, so although there are plenty of similarly unexposed types in opposition, the Godolphin runner is taken to score, under Oisin Murphy.
Wednesday’s selections:
4:20 Salisbury – Great Example; 5/1 BetVictor
5:10 Ffos Las – Dromineer; 5/2 Unibet
