With both selections finding the frame at Ludlow and Kempton yesterday, we return with two more selections from the jumps meetings across the UK and Ireland.
In the 2m1f Class 5 Visit Bettingsites.Ltd.UK Today Handicap Hurdle (2:20) at Sedgefield, Mr Rumbalicious appeals at the current prices of 7/1. The four-year-old switched from the Alan King yard to James Moffatt over the summer and appeared to enjoy the change in scene, making a winning reappearance at Cartmel over the same distance. The son of Kodiac has always had the tendency to be keen and he produced a similar performance, pushing forward before taking the lead after the home turn to score by a neck. The gelding is only on a mark three pounds higher, and conditional Charlotte Jones claims the same amount.
SELECTION – MR RUMBALICIOUS – 7/1
With plenty of non-runners at Southwell, our attention switches to Tramore and a potential each-way shout in the 2m5½f Doneraile Walk Beginners Chase (2:30). A winner over hurdles, the six-year-old made a solid start to his chasing career when fourth in a fourteen runner Thurles contest at the start of November. Although he was beaten twenty-five lengths at the line, the gelding made headway with three to run and was caught for pace in the closing stages. The step up in trip is undoubtedly a positive and 20/1 appears to be a big price for a horse capable of jumping into the frame.
SELECTION – MAHLERS COVE – EACH WAY – 20/1
