Rizz didn’t have time on Saturday evening to cover a lucky 15 thread. Cairnzy has offered to do one for Monday's racing.
I didn’t exactly have a whole lot to look at on Monday, with only two meetings on offer for punters to kick-start the week. I have also done my study for these selections prior to the odds becoming available. Hopefully none of them is too short when the odds go live later on.
Time teller 13/2 – Wolverhampton 4.30
I’m a big fan of George Baker as a trainer, and he tends to do quite well with his string of horses. Apprentice jockey Jace Dace claims a handy 5lb for this contest as well.
Timeteller was last seen finishing second behind an odds-on shot here two weeks ago. I thought he kept on well that day to suggest this step up in trip is worth exploring. He’s still only a two-year-old and I’m hoping the extra distance will see him take a further step forward.
Ginolo 4/5 – Plumpton 12:45
I’m hoping the price of Ginolo isn’t too short, but given he’s out of the Nicky Henderson stable, I do expect him to be somewhere towards the top end of the market.
He’s not a badly bred horse and his second on debut in a bumper was a good effort. The form reads not too badly either, with the winner of that bumper contest finishing second in a novice hurdle race recently.
My selection makes his jumps debut here, and if he jumps well he should have every chance.
Norman Fletcher 4/1 – Plumpton 2.15
Norman Fletcher definitely deserved to get off the mark last time out after running some good races in defeat.
This race looks wide open, but he won quite comfortably last time out by 3L and given he goes unpenalised he surely comes here with a good chance. The Twiston-Davies yard are in good nick at present, and it’s the apprentice jockey Jamie Brace who takes the ride and claims a handy 5lb.
Alan Bresil 10/1 – Plumpton 2.45
I had to go and check if this horse was owned by TalkSports Alan Brazil, but sadly he is not 🤣
With that said, I think my selection comes here with a chance and should be an attractive enough price.
He is still a maiden after 15 races, which is a tad concerning, but he has run some fair races recently, hitting the frame twice and unseating once within his last 3 outings. Apprentice jockey Nathan Andrew’s claims 10 lb, which surely boosts his chances; however, I’m not too familiar with how capable he is as a rider, but that’s the risk you take when backing horses with an apprentice on board.
