FAIR TO DREAM is fast becoming a cliff horse for me but he keeps sucking me in with good performances and although today may be his last chance I do like his chances. To be fair, he could well have genuine excuses for his poor runs this season and if you did excuse them then he certainly isn’t without a chance today.
He ran a nice race the last day at Ludlow behind a well handicapped horse and the horse who finished behind him that has since ran well since so the form has an ‘ok’ look to it. This wouldn’t be the strongest of races albeit there are a number of runners and providing Will Kennedy can keep him out of trouble I think he can reward each way backers.
Over at Huntingdon, I think NASHVILLE NIPPER is worth a mention in the opener. Toby Lawes’ horse was subject to a big gamble last time out over 2m 4f and despite travelling well he came to a standstill turning for home, stopping very quickly. Connections have dropped him back 2 miles today and if the market speaks in his favour I can see him going well here.
Taunton 3.17 – Fair To Dream
Huntingdon 12.30 – Nashville Nipper
