Picks From The Paddock Best Bet – Friday 7th December

Racing Post NAP

20.45 Kempton

Jamie Osbourne’s yard is on a real role at the minute and has been in excellent form of late. Your Band really made huge strides when winning on handicap debut last month at Lingfield staying on strongly at the finish to pick it up on the line and with only a 3lb rise for that narrow win, the 3yo looks primed for another big run here this evening. The on-song Nicola Currie in the saddle is another huge plus for the team as she is in the midst of a real coming of age season in terms of winners and she might just add another to her tally here so Your Band gets the confident nod here in very moderate company. The main danger will likely come from Rod Millman’s unexposed 3yo Singing the Blues who may just benefit from the step up in trip and the move into handicap company.

YOUR BAND (WIN) – NAP

18.30 Dundalk

Hey Pretty was touched off here a fortnight ago over course and distance when running an absolute blinder and he runs off the exact same mark here tonight in this apprentice handicap. John McConnell has his team in great nick this term with winners on both sides of the Irish sea. Donagh O’Connor is a very capable assistant and he should be able to gain compensation tonight and land the spoils. La Novia is raised 7lb for his cosy victory last time out and rates the biggest danger to the selection bidding to follow up that win.
