Bayard - Fakenham 1.05 5 Taroum 4/1 / Southwell 1.45 4 Aliandy 5/1 (1/2 point each way singles + 1.2 point each way double)
Bayard likes a couple who will be in the 4-5/1 price range, so the suggestion
is 2x 1/2 point each way singles (50%) of your normal stake and then a 1/2
point each way double. TAROUM is a distance winner, back over preferred
hurdles and is both fit and from a small yard with an excellent strike rate here
over the past 5 years with a return on investment of around 60% on its runners.
ALIANDY is taken to push the likely favourite Definitely Grey who has gone up
8lbs to a career high mark and may be vulnerable now. The selections has
always looked a promising long term project and the jockey/trainer combo have
a decent strike rate and if you look closely this horse finished within 20 lengths
of Yarnworth at this stage of last season, whilst the distance may be mis-leading;
we've gone back and looked at the race, and it does show the scope this horse has
