Follow the money to Southwell and Taunton
"Ranjobaie has been steadily backed this morning from [5.2] in to [3.9]."
Today's follow the money market movers come from the meetings at Taunton and Southwell.
We start with the opener at Taunton, the Conditional Jockeys handicap hurdle at 13:50, where Normally has been supported from an early price of [15.5] in to [6.8]. Trainer John Flint has elected to put up his youngest son, Thomas, and whilst brother Rhys has been making many of the headlines, Thomas made a few of his own when, on his penultimate ride back in October and looking all over the winner (at [1.01]), he fell at the last on board No To Trident. That would have been a lesson well learnt if only for the telling off Thomas received in full view of the TV Cameras from his father! Dropped in class and relatively lightly raced, Normally is unexposed and from a stable more than capable of getting one ready, the money may mean that Thomas breaks his duck today.
In the 14.20 at the same track, a Novice Chase, Ranjobaie has been steadily backed this morning from [5.2] in to [3.9]. Admittedly, Ranjobaie has had the odd "four faults" over both hurdles and the larger obstacles but there was much to like about his last run when he seemed to be going best until tiring late on in the heavy going at Plumpton. With less testing ground today and the Venetia Williams stable enjoying four winners in the last week, it will not take too much improvement from Ranjobaie for the gelding to land the spoils today.
Our final mover is the day's negative in the shape of Double Duchess, in the 16:30 at Southwell, who has been on the drift from a low of [1.91] out to [3.2]. With a record of two from two over course and distance and just a 6lb penalty to shoulder for last week's facile win by nine length, it is difficult to fathom the weakness of Double Duchess, save the fact that he is up against one from the in form Mark Johnson stable (first run in a handicap), plus two other course winners so Paul D'Arcy's charge may not be able to dominate this field as he did last time.
Recommended bets:
Back Normally @ [6.8 ] Taunton 13.50
Back Ranjobaie @ [3.9] Taunton 14.20
Lay Double Duchess @ [3.2] Southwell 16.30
