Cannington Brook looks a strong EW bet at 14/1 for Welsh National

December 26, 2011 ~ Steeplechasing

I was very impressed by Cannington Brook last time out at Haydock despite about the worst piece of idling I’ve ever seen. He’s seriously unexposed in my view, with quite a bit more to come.

He seemed to get on much better – jumping-wise – with Tom O’Brien than with his regular rider J Tizzard. He’ll love the ground at Chepstow tomorrow (2.10 race) and is a very sound EW bet imo.

I’d fear Cappa Bleu, if he is definitely over whatever was ailing him, and Blazing Bailey, but will be betting Cannington Brook each way with some confidence.

Good call Joe (cappa went well at a good price too)

Thanks for the tip

  Thanks Tim – 14s into 15/2 but goes the way of most value EW bets missing out by one place!
  
  All the best

I know that Skybet (and maybe a few others) were paying 1-2-3-4-5 relating to win and place investors. I hope you were on with one of those layers Joe–good effort (beat the book nicely)–well played as ever.
