Well, Red Ramesses was a disappointing NB for us yesterday, but Flambrough Breeze was by far the most disappointing. When watching the race i felt he wouldn’t get there due to being too far back, but my word, he fairly flew home and was only foiled by the gambled on Tadabeer (14-1 into 7-2) by half a length. Nevermind, we can’t win them all?
Still trying to get used to the come down after Cheltenham. Multiple grade 1 races to modest class 6 affairs on the all weather, this will take a while.
Today I am going to focus on the jumps at Exeter, and for a change, I’m going to put up a double.
2:00 Exeter – Lauberhorn 6/4 VC
3:00 Exeter – Jump City 1/1 VC
5.25-1 Double
Lauberhorn came right back to form last time out picking up a handicap at Huntingdon by 9 lengths. No one noticed this win as it happened during Cheltenham, but it really was a taking performance. Jump City should be a better horse than he actually is. Once upon a time it was expected this horse would go onto great things, but it hasn’t materialised. This is a 2 horse race between it and Dare me, and for that reason alone, i have to side with Jump City (who’s at least won a few times recently against a place animal).
We advise 3 pts @ 5.25-1 on VC. Happy days!
