Paul Ferguson has one selection for us today from Chepstow; Colin Tizzard’s Ohio Gold in the 13.15 Compare odds.
The market should prove informative with regards to the chances of newcomers from top yards Merrion Square and Nutin Fancy, but Ohio Gold (1:15) sets a fair standard and can finally get off the mark in Chepstow’s opener on Wednesday.
The five-year-old failed to score in six outings over hurdles last year and I actually put him up in this very race 12 months ago, when he finished third to the smart Sonofvic.
The son of Flemensfirth, who tends to travel well through his races, went on to chase home Grand National winner Ballabriggs at Wincanton and he finished eighth in the Neptune Investment on his final outing.
Colin Tizzard reports that he has strengthened up over the summer and he looks sure to win a race of this nature before too long.
Wednesday’s selection:
1:15 Chepstow Ohio Gold
