I've kindly offered to step in and cover Sunday's Lucky 15 bet for Rizz as he concentrates on the main thread for tomorrow's racing.
Rizzel's lucky 15 bet yesterday was a dud, but he can count himself a tad unlucky as a few of his bigger-priced selections missed the frame by small margins.
Cairnzy's Lucky 15 Tips
Kindest Nation 12/1 EW – Chester 4.52
My first selection of this Sunday's lucky 15 bet is Kindest Nation, who is one of two Hugo Palmers runners in this contest.
Although the top two in the market arrive in good nick, I think they are worth taking on in this contest, and my dart landed on Kindest Nation, who is the least fancied from the two Hugo Palmer runners.
Kindest Nation has been pitched in some tough assignments of late, one of which was a Group 3 contest and the other was a competitive Class 2 handicap contest at Ascot. His finishing positions in both of those races were far from inspiring, but he is back in calmer waters this time around, and I thought the 12/1 on offer could be good value if he were to put his best foot forward. My selection has run well at Chester in his previous two visits, producing a respectable third on seasonal debut and a win last September.
Orandi 9/1 EW – Galway 4.00
With four places on offer in this race, I thought a chance could be given to the A J Martin-trained Orandi, who has already run at this year's Galway festival, finishing third behind your current market leader Dunam.
I can understand why Lupini's Dunum is favourite for this contest, he runs well at Galway, he is drawn well and arrives here on the back of a win. With that said, he only finished two lengths ahead of my selection on that occasion and now meets Orandi on 7lb worse terms, which could be enough to turn the tables in Orandi's favour. My selection is taking a drop in trip for this contest from 1m down to 7f, but I think it should suit this horse well, given his proven stamina over the mile. J S Dalton, who rode my selection last Tuesday, retains the ride, and he claims his usual 10lb.
Lone Piper 12/1 EW – Chester 5.22
Most of this field is completely out of sorts, and the current market has the well handicapped James Owen debutant Hamlet's Night as your favourite. 10/3 for Hamlet's Night is probably a decent bet given how well James Owen does with his newcomers, but at the same time, I think you can take him on.
I opted to take him on with the Tom Clover-trained Lone Piper, who looks interesting with jockey Rossa Ryan booked for the ride. My selection flattered to deceive last time out, but his runs before that were more of a satisfactory level, finishing fifth, sixth and winning at Windsor last September. Notably, the three runs just mentioned all came whilst wearing blinkers, which are back on for this contest. Lone Piper would certainly hold claims in this field if reproducing a similar performance to when winning at Windsor, which came of just a 1lb lower mark.
The Cola Brasil 7/1 EW – Yarmouth 3.07
This is a messy race indeed, with many arriving with question marks on their heads. At the prices I thought The Cola Brasil was worth a chance for last year's winning trainer, Michael Bell.
My selections form has been up and down like most in this field, but he has been a runner-up twice for this yard, so be it in an amateur riders' handicap. On his best form, The Cola Brasil would surely be there or there abouts at the finish but it's just the question mark regarding if he shows up or not, which tends to be the risk you take in these sorts of contests. On a more positive note, Hector Crouch is on board and riding well at present, which boasts The Cola Brasils chances if he is to put his best foot forward in this contest.
