BEST of the BETS

Taking the fav on, despite it and the trainer being in good form, it’s due to rise 5lb and they have to run, not always the best reason


Backing two


The Welsh Paddies, has been with three trainers now but owned by the same Cardiff firm throughout. It’s 1-1 when running in Wales. Two good autum runs last year, first off at Uttoxeter, gave weight and went close behind Equis Amadeus now rated 132, next up won it’s maiden, then went over too short and then went out of its grade at cheltenham, put a line through those two. Negative is the lack of winners from the stable and the owners do seem to prefer winners at Ffos Las, 4-12 compared with here 0-12.


Socksy - Has ran well fresh before, stable in good form, top jockey and could be the best handicapped of these if she can transfer her improved jumps form to the sticks today

Bet - Socksy - 6-1, Coral, Lads
Bet - The Welsh Paddies, 12-1, Bet365, Paddy
