Good afternoon.
I'm sticking with two previously selected runners in Mass Rally and Gallagher.
Mass Rally is 33/1 and Fastha is 10/1 yet Mass Rally finished just behind Fastha in 6th at York on his first ever run at 6f which promised a lot as he's totally unexposed at the trip. The ground and more galloping course should be in his favour as well I feel and he looks well worth a go at 33/1. He looks to be an autumnal horse and seems to be improving at just the right time.He had some good bits of form last year notably a good 2nd to Excellent Guest the Bunbury Cup runner up. I feel 6f could well be his trip in a big field with a strong pace and with just a handful of runs this year comes here fresher than some and with room for improvement at the trip.
Gallagher has been out of sorts for ages and shown nothing for David Nicholls this year although he should now be fit enough after three runs. He's gone to Ruth Carr who does very well with this type of runner and although this is a very recent change of stable I'm going to take the risk at 40/1. Ground should be to his liking and the handicap mark has dropped to a very winnable one if there is still ability there.
MASS RALLY 1 POINT E/W AT 33/1 BOG THE FIRST FIVE
GALLAGHER 1 POINT E/W AT 40/1 BOG THE FIRST FIVE
