Masters at work
"Cape Express previously showed a good level of ability when running on the level and represents the all-conquering combination of Nicky Henderson and Barry Geraghty."
Today's Follow The Money comes from the meetings at Kempton, Uttoxeter and Ffos Las.
We start at Kempton where Cape Express has seen noticeable support in the 13:45 2m Novice Hurdle, currently trading at [3.0] from an early [5.5].
This seven-year-old was last seen on a racecourse when running at Newmarket in the summer of 2009 and makes his hurdles debut today, meaning a certain amount of faith is required. However, the Cape Cross gelding has previously showed a good level of ability when running on the level and represents the all-conquering combination of Nicky Henderson and Barry Geraghty. The master trainer is bound to have him fit for this test the gamble suggests his ability remains intact.
We go to Uttoxeter for our next selection where Posh Bird continues to be the backed for the Midlands National at 15:20 and is now the market leader at [6.6] having been available at [10.0]. The mare has improved for the step up to marathon distances this season, winning at Catterick over 3m6f back in January and then only being narrowly denied by a well-handicapped sort in the Eider last time out over today's trip. Although up 5lb in the weights for that effort, Lucy Alexander's claim negates that and she will be receiving weight from all the field. The move indicates she can go one better today.
We head to Ffos Las for today's negative, where Paradise Expected has proved easy to back in the 3m Hcap Chase at 17:10 and is available to lay at [4.3] having been [3.4]. A course winner on seasonal debut, the Tim Vaughan runner has run without success on two occasions since and finds himself only rated 1lb higher than the aforementioned victory. However, with the in-form Mac Helen and the talented but quirky Pancake in opposition today punters seem to feel he will struggle to gain a first victory over three miles.
