Sunday selections
MINELLA BLUEWAY – 2.40 Plumpton (NAP)
It’s going to be testing judging by the weather forecast at Plumpton for the BetGoodwin Sussex National Handicap Chase but MINELLA BLUEWAY has shaped like he wants a severe test of stamina and he’s certainly going to get that here. Evan Williams’ horse is proven on heavy ground and when he was second over three miles at Windsor last time he stayed on like he wanted a trip. Other rivals might not appreciate conditions, but this horse has run well in soft and heavy on numerous occasions and he gets the vote.
LIVIN ON LUCO – 1.45 Chepstow
LIVIN ON LUCO was meant to run at Wincanton on Saturday until the weather intervened but his reroute to Chepstow can pay dividends in the Congratulations 2024 WGN Winner Val Dancer Novices' Limited Handicap Chase. Philip Hobbs & Johnson White’s horse showcased his stamina when winning in heavy ground at Newton Abbot on his chasing debut earlier in the season and the ground was probably too quick for him at Cheltenham after that. With conditions sure to be testing on Sunday, he could get back on track under 7lb claimer Callum Pritchard.
