Skidmore's Selections: Friday Racing

By Ryan Skidmore



Cheltenham

13:35 - Lively Citizen 15/2 EW


David Jeffreys is quite lucky to have a horse that likes Prestbury Park as much as Lively Citizen. His horse has won two races at the track from four starts, finishing second on the other legitimate start and the saddle slipping in another before being pulled up early. He had a good season last year winning two races, placing 2nd in an Imperial Cup and running well at the Aintree festival, connections will be hoping for more of the same this term and if he is ready to roll today then he looks a big player at an each way price.


10 Lively Citizen

Age: 7 Weight: 10-9 Jockey: Archie Bellamy Trainer: D J Jeffreys

Form: 1P126-


Cheltenham

17:05 - Hullnback 2/1 WIN


Fergal O’Brien loves to target the showcase meeting at Cheltenham and his targeting has paid off as in the last five seasons he has had the most winners at the meeting, with 7/34 winning, a strike rate of 20.59%.He has good chances on the card today, notably Hullnback who was a good bumper horse last term. He won impressively on debut before going on to run well in a hot bumper at Newbury, then finishing second in the G2 bumper at Aintree. He has a wind operation since and if converting his flat form to hurdles he will tough to beat today.


8 Hullnback

Age: 5 Weight: 11-4 Jockey: Paddy Brennan Trainer: Fergal O'Brien

Form: 152-
