Blenheim Brook makes his eagerly awaited debut over fences at Perth today and is worth a bet at 9/2 to make it a winning one.
Lucinda Russell’s winning pointer is a strapping type who has always looked as if he would come into her own when tackling the larger obstacles.
Anything he achieved over hurdles was always going to be a bonus, and the fact that he managed to score three times and achieve a rating of 137 shows how classy he is.
Make no mistake, this is a very hot contest and one of the best line ups I have seen for a novice chase at the Scottish track for a long time.
Champion Court and Atracad are both very useful types in their own rights and bring a high level of form to the table.
However I rate Blenheim Brook a very exciting prospect indeed, and he is one of my horses to follow this season.
He has reportedly been schooling well at Alary House, and is sure to be straight enough to do himself justice.
At 9/2 he looks overpriced in my book and worth an interest, but win or lose today he is definitely one to keep on the right side in the coming months.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts win Blenheim Brook (9/2 Boylesports – BOG)
