Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Friday; Carlton Jack in the Bangor-on-Dee 7.45. Compare odds and bet.
A Catterick bumper winner in December for Mick Easterby Carlton Jack (7:45) joined Jonjo O’Neill and JP McManus for £70,000 the same month and, having shown promise on all three starts for current connections, looks one to note on his handicap debut at Bangor this evening.
Fifth in a Kempton bumper, the six-year-old ran well on his hurdles debut to get within a couple of lengths of Bob’s World, who has won again since before finishing runner-up at Sandown last Saturday off 120.
Seen as the selection was conceding weight to the four-year-old, his opening mark of 114 doesn’t look too harsh and Richie McLernon’s mount was most recently seen finishing fourth in a decent little event at Huntingdon. Available at 9/2 with Bet365 on Thursday evening, he looks open to plenty of improvement on this his third start over timber.
Friday’s selection:
7:45 Bangor-On-Dee Carlton Jack
