GYTO Thursday Notebook Double

There could be one or two nice types in here but hopefully none more so than FANCY YOUR CHANCES who shaped with enough promise on hurdles debut to be of major interest here. This mare by Presenting definitely could have jumped a bit slicker but I liked the way she stuck to the task and stayed on well up the run-in. She will improve with that under her belt and this looks a winnable opportunity. Porter In The Park could be the main danger to the selection. She cost €85,000 after winning an Irish point and could go well on debut under Rules. Bolintlea has experience on side and despite being turned over at short odds didn’t run badly at Newton Abbot. She lacks the potential of some in here though. Meetuatnine was pulled up in a bumper at Sandown but has had a wind op since so is also worth a second look in the betting.

After getting within a neck of victory at Uttoxeter last time COULDBEAWEAPON is likely to prove popular at Worcester on Thursday. He bumped into a horse who was winning for the third time in his last four starts in Lucky Lover Boy. That horse has since got within two lengths of victory when second at Stratford off a mark of 100 so with the selection running here off a mark of 98 and the likelihood of further improvement he should be going close. Half The Freedom is interesting as he shaped quite well when fourth at Chepstow on final start last season. He has more to come so looks the danger. Callisto’s King hasn’t been given a hard time of it so far over hurdles so connections have likely had handicaps in mind from the off. He has a stiff enough opening mark but will improve so is another one that shouldn’t be underestimated.
