A busy Wednesday of racing<\/a> with action at Punchestown, Ludlow, Doncaster over jumps whilst Kempton hosts a late all weather card for punters today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was great to have a winner yesterday to get us back on track! Today I am heading to Ireland where BetVictor sponsor three races on an interesting Punchestown<\/a> card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NAP comes in the closing bumper at Doncaster<\/a> today. Ben Pauling is having some time of things with his operation currently running at a 32% strike rate in the last two weeks. Monty Bodkin<\/a> made a good start to life finishing second in what is traditionally a decent bumper at Ascot in November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that strong debut it was disappointing to see him flop on Boxing day at Aintree. This looks a fair race with I Play County<\/a> set to give our selection plenty to think about, but I am keen to keep the faith with Ben Pauling\u2019s horse who hopefully can go well in the last at Donny today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
