Scoop6 on November 27 is a Serious All-Weather and Jumps Puzzle
- By A.J. Ryder on November 26, 2010 20:44 GMTIt's another tricky Scoop6 on offer from the tote on Saturday as the card alternates between the quality jumps racing at Newbury and the all-weather surface at Kempton. These are some of the toughest to capitalize on and the card is staying away from some of the more probable Newbury races like the Fighting Fifth or the Long Walk.
2:00 at Newbury
This limited handicap is set to go 2m110y over ground expected to be good to soft. The going shouldn't shake things up too much here and the play appears to be ADVISOR. He comes out of the Nicholls yard for a seasonal debut and this well-bred French four year-old is by Goldikova's sire Anabaa. He looks poised to capitalize on a full stone from top-weight Alegralil. Keep your eye on The Betchworth Kid as an addition to the ticket if he looks to be making a nice pre-race appearance.
2:10 at Kempton
These types of all-weather races are some of the most random races going. The play here appears to be top-weight GREYLAMI (Daylami) who comes into the 1m2f contest having just missed on the last gallop over course and distance by the talented Ottoman Empire (Pivotal). Eddie Ahern is up for this one and the two have forged a solid partnership over the past few months.
2:40 at Kempton
We've got a 5f dash over the Kempton all-weather surface in this one as INSOLENCEOFOFFICE (Kodiac) looks the selection. Johnny Hancocks (Taisho) has been knocking on the door lately but this two year-old has been run twenty times since March. You have to question the logic of running a two year-old gelding four times in the month of September. Insolenceofoffice acquitted himself well in a step up in class at Wolverhampton last time out and he looks set to roll here.
3:05 at Newbury
It's tough to bet against DENMAN in this one though he certainly faces a serious line-up of class 1 contenders. Weird Al has been a consistent second favourite in the antepost market while Nicky Henderson's Burton Port also deserves respect. Those looking for an additional selection would do well to opt for Big Fella Thanks, who appears to offer up plenty of ability at this distance.
3:15 at Kempton
Back to the all-weather for the fifth leg of the Scoop6 and this oen looks to be all about BEAUCHAMP VICEROY (Compton Admiral) as he steps up off the conditions circuit to tackle listed action once again. He has looked sharp in his two prep-races this season, notably coming in 2nd at a 12/1 price over the Kempton all-weather and he should enjoy the extra furlong here.
3:40 at Newbury
David Pipe's PIRAYA will hopefully be the one that brings the ticket home in this 2m4f handicap chase. He was beaten at Ascot last weekend in his seasonal debut and was up against quality company that day and acquitted himself well to place at a 16/1 price. The jockey switch back to Tom Scudamore is also a solid reference and he looks the play. Working Title is a solid addition if you're looking for an additional selection.
