Popelys Gull , really like this horse , apart from it winning me a holiday ! , it's been a model of consistency and improvement since going chasing , nobody can touch pam slys track stats at her local track , especially with her chasers , at 9/4 this is a great price it's 3/1 !
With little fare on offer tomorrow I'm having to take you on with Charlie Mann's Morney Wing. Won the Sussex National last year off 10lb higher, won't mind the soft ground and has form at the this track. Paddy Brennan makes the trip to the Norfolk coast for just this one ride. The last time he was on was the aforementioned Sussex National. 11/2 and being backed. Also on the sand at Wolverhampton 5.20 Gift in Time. LTO he got baulked at the start which scuppered his chances but then ran on to finish 3rd not beaten far. 4/1. 2 singles and a double.
No worries. Of the higher profile jocks Skelton and Coleman also go to Fakenham for just a single ride. They can't all win so some will be pissed off on the long drive home.
A lot of punters from the shop were going to go to Fakenham today, but when they saw the card, they decided it wasn't worth it. Although one punter is as happy as a pig in ****, because he is a big fan of Olly Murphy, and he has something like 14 runners there today.
So does Fehily, so I'm going to do his mount HALO MOON who has a couple of wins at the track but was off for a long time before finishing 7th on his reappearance a couple of months ago. Will like the ground too. Between us looks as if we've covered most of the field so it's not just the jockeys that we be peed off if they don't win.
I backed MORNEY WING at 13/2 last night. They gambled him for a race last week when the card was lost so I thought there would be money for him today. Probably get done by Rudey again today with the form he is in.
Dickies rides at Fakenam pays 77/1 accumulator....a treble without Captive Island pays 22/1. I have a go at both Stay Frosty xx
I'm on this for my sins as well - Hurricane Rita and Wood Pigeon are the Naps of the day for Sporting Life and the Winner's Enclosure respectively today so a lot of influencers towards some of those prices dropping later.
Buried at the bottom of a piece in the RP about David Evans' recovery from a booze problem is this observation about the chances of a runner at Wolves: ''Evans reckons Sonnetist (5.50) has a great chance and said: "I thought he was unlucky last time at Kempton and I think he can win." Fav, 10/3 available several places, you've got info direct from the trainer, worth a punt.
Have also seen info for Popelys Gull, and dave Massey makes it his Daily Punt selection, saying this: ''2:25 – Popelys Gull – The 6-year-old came up against a Ben Pauling improver in Creep Desbois over 2m 5f here last month. The handicapper has raised him just 1lb for that run which seems lenient to me. The selection steps up to 3m today but he stayed 3m over hurdles so the extra distance shouldn’t be an issue. Trainer Pam Sly had a winner last week and I think her runner can add to his Wetherby novice chase win earlier in the season.'' Despite all that I'm not backing it meself, lol. Just a bit wary for some reason. May leave Fakenham entirely alone today, just do Wolves, depending on any more info I get.
