Wednesday Double...


Perth 15:00 - Freddie The Third
2m, Class 4 Novices' Handicap Chase - Good to Soft, Good in Places

We journey upto Perth this afternoon in quest of today's double and put our first selection in the more than capable hands of Nigel Twiston-Davies. Britain's most northern track is a happy hunting ground for the Cheltenham based trainer and he saddles no fewer than four favourites in today's seven race card. Freddie The Third makes his chasing bow after some encouraging efforts over the smaller obstacles last year. Bread to by a chasing type nothing would have been left to chance with regards to his jumping and he is taken to get the better of the frustrating Carthy's Cross and score at the first time of asking. (Early Price 2/1)

Perth 16:10 - Cebonne
3m, Class 3 Handicap Chase - Good to Soft, Good in Places

Cebonne is a chaser in form and that is more than can be said for the rest of the field and the improving gelding is taken to notch the hat-trick today and land the Double. Progressive enough over staying trips, Paul Maloney (2 out of 2) has built up a strong relationship with the 7 year old and they can make fitness count over their less than inspiring rivals. (Early Price 9/4)
