New 12 months’s Day’s motion begins at Chaltenham and, in right here, the type of Broadway Boy at Newbury has already been franked with the horse that completed fifth in that race profitable on the weekend. I see no cause to go towards Broadway Boy.
I do know he’s going to be quick however he’s the perfect horse within the race and essentially the most dependable, too. There’s a little bit of rain round however that’s not going to matter to him.
It’s unoriginal, I do know, however it’s Liari for me in right here. Paul Nichols’ runners have had a little bit of a query mark just lately however I believe which means there’s going to be be higher costs about for this horse off the again of that.
He’s gained right here at Musselburgh earlier than final 12 months and I see no cause to go towards him. That race he ran in at Newbury has labored out very well and he was third at Chepstow, too.
I’m an enormous fan of horses who’re already confirmed at a monitor and I like Colonel Harry and Jamie Snowden’s in good kind as nicely. There’s only a little bit of me that’s drawn to Lounge Lizard.
This horse ran an excellent race in January 2024 behind Ga Regulation and didn’t get crushed all that far regardless of making a few errors on the best way spherical.
I simply really feel that now, with that run at Carlisle below his belt a number of weeks in the past, he’s going to be a participant right here. He appears to love the monitor and I’m an enormous fan of that so Lounge Lizard at a value is an efficient each-way wager.
Lucinda Russell’s horse, Corrigeen Rock, is a course and distance winner round right here. They despatched him all the way down to Ascot over 2m5f and he was there for fairly a very long time, however that was a scorching race for his first run of the season. I’m blissful to swing with him.
I’m going for one more each-way horse on this. I went again and watched a few of Deep Cave’s wins in France, together with a good hurdle race at Clairfontaine in 2024 on very mushy floor, and in case you watch him in his earlier race at Cheltenham, that was good floor and he saved at it very well having gotten outpaced. He’s operating off the identical mark Wednesday and, at an each-way value, Deep Cave is just not the worst one.
It’s very onerous to get away from the type of Golden Ace, isn’t it? The beating of Brighterdaysahead has lots of people scratching their heads. Jeremy Scott was very sincere earlier than the race at Ascot, saying that they’d been struggling along with her.
The one concern I’d have is there’s numerous rain round and I’m not satisfied she’s an out-and-out stayer. If the rain comes it might open the race proper up and you may see a distinct outcome then, with the likes of Fortunate Place having an opportunity to show her over, however the floor is the important thing right here. Golden Ace is the almost definitely winner if the rain doesn’t make the bottom heavy and switch it right into a slog.
