7.00 Kempton – DARK TROOPER (3pt win – 15/8 Bet365, 7/4 generally)
DARK TROOPER looked a handful on return for Ross Coakley, having made his AW debut after a break and a gelding operation. He hung to the left and then right under pressure, but there was far more in the tank than the winning margin suggested.
He was a big eye-catcher at Newbury last term in a hot Maiden that has produced plenty of winners (hung left there), and he took a step forward with his Southwell win with the step back up to seven furlongs looking like a positive move. The same can’t be said about his main market rival Dyed In The Wool, who won a very slowly run race at Newcastle earlier this month and arrives with a bit to prove. To put it into context, he would have finished stone cold last in the following 0-55 Class 6 handicap. He showed a bright turn of foot, but his stamina for this trip should is not a given.
In the hope that Tom Marquand gets a good prominent position (many of these like to or have been held up in recent starts) from a good draw in stall two and uses the rail to help his mount (Marquand is excellent with the stick in the left hand) – he will take some pegging here.
GG Cheltenham Ante-Post Book – Wednesday, 18th January
No bets this week as the racing has calmed down somewhat since the turn of the year but it will soon be ramping up again and so will my suggestions. The weekends cards look to be in some doubt so I won’t spend time looking into those but instead I’ll crack on with my A-Z…
