Architect Wednesday Racing Tips

This is highly-competitive, no doubt about it, but I’ll give one more chance to the well-treated GUMBALL (best price 8-1), who wasn’t suited to hold-up tactics when last spotted and is better judged on his earlier seasonal efforts. He was useful when trained by Philip Hobbs and was in the process of beating Eldorado Allen at Cheltenham when falling at the second last when two lengths clear. The eventual winner subsequently won this year’s addition of the Grade Two Haldon Gold Cup to boost the form, while his other third in this sphere, in a Grade One at Aintree to Shishkin, was another perfectly-respectable effort and he’ll find this a lot easier. He made a winning debut for Fergal O’Brien at York on the flat and, if you can excuse his latest below-par showing at Newbury, he could be the value against the big pair in the betting as there’s no doubting the seven-year-old’s ability to win a race of this nature.
