Tom Scudamore: “Grangeclare Glory could be my best ride of the weekend”
Coral ambassador previews his weekend rides
Our man takes us through his rides at Kempton on Saturday and Fontwell on Sunday.
Saturday
Kempton 13.15 – White Moon
He promised an awful lot a couple of years ago. He obviously has had his issues but I hope he can take another step in the right direction here.
Kempton 15.35 – Slate House
He is a Grade 1 winner over course and distance. Things haven’t gone right for him since then, but he will be suited by the drying ground. He showed signs of a revival last time. He is dangerously handicapped and if he is back to near his best you can’t rule him out.
Kempton 16.10 – Eden Du Houx
He has been slightly disappointing so far over fences. He’s had bits and pieces of form but hasn’t quite hit the heights we were hoping for. Hopefully he will appreciate the better ground. He is another one that has a lot of ability. He just hasn’t quite transferred it to fences yet.
Sunday
Fontwell 14.10 – The Crooner
He was only just touched off at the track last Thursday and he would look to have a very good chance.
Fontwell 14.40 – Duc De Beauchene
He was a bit disappointing around Haydock and a small field might help him, but he has to improve on what he showed last week.
Fontwell 16.10 – Grangeclare Glory
He has improved with every run this season. He was a really pleasing third last time around Doncaster. He could be my best ride of the whole weekend.
