3.10: Thirsk: Chaenomeles
Going to chance a big priced selection today. With Mark Johnston's horses really starting to find their feet (4 winners yesterday), it may be worth chancing Chaenomeles today. Joe Fanning goes to Thirsk today to take the ride and based on Lingfield maiden run when last seen in 2007 has a real chance today from top weight. Was 4th that day at Lingfield but finished only half length behind 2nd placed horse Divine Power who went on to win from a mark of 78 next time out. If that form is taken at face value the selection must be well in here from a mark of only 65. Reappearance run over 1m2f on soft can be easily ignored as the selection appeared not to handle the extra distance and ground after racing prominently. Return to 1m today on fast surface could see that form easily left behind. Looks capable of place at worst today where nothing in the race stands out as an obvious winner.
