Take a look at our Lucky 15 selections (four singles, six doubles, four trebles and a four-fold) for the British and Irish meetings on Sunday, May 29, 2016…
FOUNTAINS WINDFALL (Fontwell 1.50) won a bumper at this track and faced stronger opposition in his last two races over hurdles, latterly splitting a couple of subsequent winners when second to Gala Ball at Wincanton in February. Anthony Honeyball’s string has been in decent form lately and this extended 2m 1½f maiden hurdle should be at his mercy.
THEINVAL (Uttoxeter 2.40), a Grade 3 winning hurdler at Aintree last year, but has not looked totally at home over fences in his two attempts in Britain. To be fair, he did not jump too badly when third of five at Warwick in a novices’ chase three weeks ago in a much hotter race than he contests this afternoon and he may well be able to show improvement in the four-runner 2m4f beginners’ chase for trainer Nicky Henderson.
WHATS UP WOODY (Kelso 3.35) was beaten by Scotswell over this same track and 3m2f trip 25 days ago in a bid to land the hat-trick, with Cobajayisland third. Those two re-oppose again and they are closely matched on revised terms, but George Bewley’s 11-year-old still looks fairly treated off a 2lb higher mark. He has been ultra-consistent lately and should again run his race.
HIGHBURY HIGH (Fontwell 2.50) did not really take to fences before reverting back to timber and re-found his form. He was placed twice at this track twice before scoring on fast ground at Wincanton, albeit by a neck. Neil Mulholland’s representative does not look well handicapped at present, but this looks a slightly weaker race and he may well be able to overcome a 6lb rise in division one of the 2m1½f handicap hurdle.
