Picks From The Paddock Best Bet – Friday 25th January - (2021)

14:55 Lingfield

The Jamie Osbourne yard continue in red-hot form through the all-weather flat campaign and they look to have another live chance here today with Dotty Grand. The horse was backed off the board last time out as if defeat was out of the question, but the performance suggested the 3yo perhaps needed the run as she was protected once her chance had gone in the final furlong in her first outing since September. She should now be primed for this one with the cobwebs removed and it will be interesting to see if the money comes again. Nicola Currie once again takes the ride and she has been in the winner’s plenty for the yard in recent weeks so expect a bold bid here. Brockey Rise from the David Evans team would rate as the main danger and is well in at the weights despite an impressive recent victory.

DOTTY GRAND (WIN) – NAP

18:30 Dundalk

Jessica Harrington’s team continue to hit red hot form across both disciplines and Calling Time was an impressive winner here last time out in handicap company. Once he struck the front he was never going to be caught and showed a good attitude to win a shade cosily by a half a length. He looks more value than for the distance of the victory and is still open to improvement in this company and he can follow up here under penalty. Joseph O’Brien’s Numerian also scored last time out and would rate as the main danger should the selection fail to fire.
