Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Sunday; Lambro in the 2.40 at Leopardstown Compare odds and bet
Over in Ireland Last Instalment sets a very good standard in the Dr P J Moriarty Novice Chase, one of four Grade 1’s on a cracking card at Leopardstown, but at the prices a chance is taken on Lambro (2:40) who had the favourite back in third in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last April.
Granted, Last Instalment has looked a natural over fences, but the selection has made a smooth transition to the larger obstacles himself, winning impressively on debut at Naas before giving subsequent Irish Arkle winner Flemenstar a race at the same track.
The step back up in trip will suit and at 5/2 he is worth supporting, though he had opened up 9/2 on Saturday afternoon; that was clearly an incorrect price.
Sunday’s selection:
2:40 Leopardstown: Lambro (5/2 Boylesports / Bet365)
