Yesterday we had 3 second placed horses from our 5 selections with 2 of those returning our stake through the insurebet system but today we are hoping to go one better and add to our current average of 3 successful selections per day (Usually out of 4/5 picks, so not a bad average at all).
Today's selections come from Leopardstown in Ireland
14:40 HURDLE (5YO+) 2M 2F - Blackstairmountain @11/10
15:10 HANDICAP HURDLE 2M - St Devote @5/1
15:40 NOVICE CHASE 2M 1F - Rupert Lamb @2/1
16:10 HANDICAP CHASE 2M 5F - Hellberemembered @11/4 Place only 4 places
17:10 NAT HUNT FLAT 2M - Ange Balafre @9/4 WO Fav.
Reasoning
Blackstairmountain: A grade 1 winner with two flat wins also two his name. That combination over jumps and flat always makes for a good horse and with the master Ruby Walsh on board blackstairmountain clearly justifies his favoritism.
St Devote: Can be rated a serious contender having run a blinder to finish fourth to the progressive Tennis Cap here last month (several of today's rivals behind). Barry Geraghty takes the ride today having won three times previous on this horse.
Rupert Lamb: Former Howard Johnson inmate who has improved with each run over fences since his return after missing all of last season; really getting the hang of things to judge from his front-running course and distance win five weeks ago; can be fancied to uphold form with fourth-placed The Real Article.
Hellberemembered: Very consistent over hurdles while adapting well to chasing with a recent 2M 4F victory at Down Royal under his belt. Making his Handicap debut today and with no real market leader in this one we can see Hellberemembered finishing in the top 4 places at 11/4 while you can get his winning odds at a large 12/1.
Ange Balafre: It's a straight battle between Ange Balafre and the favorite Grecian Tiger in this one, so what can we do the eliminate the favorite? Back Ange Balafre in the betting without favorite market @9/4 (9/2 with fav). Nina Carberry loves a bumper and she's on board our selection today!
BEST OF LUCK!
