Mortens Leam looks to have plenty going for him in the 3.45 at Southwell today and rates a solid bet at 7/2.
Pam Sly’s charge has run well to make the frame in his last three starts, including when runner-up to Dear Sire in a competitive 10-runner affair at Wetherby.
He went down by 2 3/4 lengths and the winner has gone on to score four times since and finish a solid fourth in theb Grade 2 Persian War Novices’ Hurdle at Chepstow off a rating of 138.
That form reads well in the context of this contest and suggests an unchanged mark of 104 for the selection is exploitable.
The stable is also among the winners of late having saddle three winners from eight runners in the last 14 days and this looks a nice opening for Mortens Leam to open his account.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 3pts win Mortens Leam (7/2 Betfred, Ladbrokes – BOG)
