"If Powerful Wind can get ahead early he could be hard to claw back. Daryl Byrne claims a valuable 5lb today and that could prove the difference."
Back Powerful Wind @ 7.413/2 in the 16:25 at Southwell
Today's selections come from the meetings at Southwell and Wincanton.
We start things off with today's recommended lay which comes in the 15:25 at Southwell where Moonlight Venture has been matched as low as 1.444/9 but is now out to 1.784/5. Second on his debut for Kevin Ryan, the market drift seems strange at first but the form of that race is yet to be franked and it is hard to gauge just how good this gelding is.
The opposition looks strong, too. Sea Spear is another who has had just the one run (finishing a close-up sixth) but nevertheless looks promising. Playtothewhistle, however, looks a bigger danger to us at a tempting price of around 10.09/1 with some fairly decent form already in the book. Well backed when 6.5 lengths fourth of eight last-time-out over course and distance at Southwell, that form looks solid with winner Mondlicht an easy winner around Lingfield on Tuesday. Considering all this, we have to make Moonlight Venture a lay today.
We stay at Southwell for the 16:25 where Powerful Wind has been well backed for Ron Harris, moving from 8.71n/a in to 7.413/2. Notorious for going off very fast, the wide draw in stall 9 is not ideal but he should be able to get past the field from the stalls to get a lead. And if he can get ahead early he could be hard to claw back. Daryl Byrne claims a valuable 5lb today and that could prove the difference. With the money coming for him he could be worth giving a chance to at a tempting price.
Our final recommendation today comes in the 16:35 at Wincanton where Giant Sequoia is being backed off the boards from a high of 9.08/1 in to 4.1n/a. Disappointing on the flat and over hurdles when trained by Barney Curley but very interesting with that former connection with all the money coming for him today. It is his debut for Sophie Leech today over hurdles and despite not having the best of form and infact no winning form since taking a handicap hurdle at Clonmel in 2011, the sheer amount of money coming for him today is impossible to ignore.
