CHRISTOPHER WOOD – 3.00pm NEWMARKET
EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 5/1 WITH BET365
The Paul Nicholls trained Christopher Wood looks set for a big run stepping up in trip with the recent rain very much in his favour. His trainer is much better known for his jumps horses but he has made a good start to the season with his flat runners (4-14, 29% SR) with one of those winners being the selection on his seasonal debut over 1m4f at Pontefract 30 days ago where he only got up late on looking like today’s extra yardage would benefit him. He is a dual purpose performer who has won several times over jumps when there has been Soft in the going description and he still looks on a fair mark having only gone up 3lb for that win with the extra 2 furlongs today looking a major plus. It is a competitive 14-runner handicap but he looks likely to be better suited by conditions than many and, off bottom weight, with Megan Nicholls taking 3lb off he is likely to be running on up the hill when others have cried enough. He looks a solid each way bet at the 5/1 still on offer with BET365. Good luck!
