Bear with me as it’s a strange angle that has led me to this selection!!
As there’s racing at Chepstow today I went looking for Rossa Ryan as I had it in my head that he has a very good record riding the course.
A quick look on the RP website shows that his record at the course 29/122 (24% Win Rate) Extremely impressive!
Those 122 rides are almost double the next highest number for any turf track he’s ridden in the UK.
i.e. Discounting all weather tracks he has had by far the most rides at Chepstow of any course in the UK.
BUT he’s not riding at Chepstow today! He’s gone to Leicester tonight, and you don’t want to be going there at the moment without reason!!!! SORRY!
So a quick look at his four rides thereto me looking more closely at SUNSHINEANDBUBBLES.
Back to back wins for David Evans since racing restarted, the latest a comfortable win at Chepstow! under Rossa, and she is still on a very lenient-looking mark of 54 today. (Has won in the past off as high as 69)
So a quick look at Rossa’s record on the horse - 10 rides, 4 Wins and 2 places. Very decent!
Slightly tougher opposition tonight than that latest win, but this horse has run up good sequences in the past and I think 11/2 is a good price to notch the hat-trick.
