Track down value with Hunting Country
Hunting Country (3.55 Newbury), from the in-form Mark Johnston stable, rates a decent bet at the 11-2 offered by William Hill this morning.
A typically progressive type from this yard, he made a winning handicap debut at Nottingham last time in determined fashion, looking to have a little more up his sleeve than the head verdict suggests. A 5lb rise in the weights is fair and, open to plenty of improvement after just four starts, he can follow up.
Fantasy Princess (2.50 Newbury) should appreciate a step up in trip after a staying-on fourth on her reappearance here 16 days ago and is a fair bet at 7-1 with Ladbrokes, while Vital Statistics (3.35 Newmarket) hated heavy ground on her reappearance at York and is too big at the 15-2 offered by William Hill to bounce back on this faster surface.
No comments about Rob's 33-1 nap and next best double on Friday, obviously, much less the 11-2 price watch tip on Saturday that ended a frustrating week on a winning note.
