Thursday Double...

Cartmel 15:40 - City Affair
2m 1f, Class 4 Begginers' Chase - Good

Richard Johnson has been on fire as of late and can add to his recent 25% strike rate with another winner at Cartmel today. He team's up with a trainer to keep an eye on, Tim Vaughn aboard the consistent City Affair. Yet to get off the mark over fences, this tough 7 year old has lost nothing in defeat against decent types and should gain compensation today. (Early Price 11/10)
4TH 6/4f

Leicester 15:50 - Pampas Cat
1m 1f, Class 3 Conditions Stakes - Good

On ratings this looks like the easiest opportunity in a while for John Gosden's Pampas Cat to get back in the winners circle and therefore this is just too good a bet to miss. This talented 3 year old, wasn't disgraced in a class 1 event at Royal Ascot and with today's course and conditions sure to suit, he can get the better of the potentially decent Ancient Lights, who maybe the one for the forecast. (Early Price 11/8)
WON 8/11f
