Will our Folkstone Flat bets be winners?
"Jockey Jamie Spencer won first time out at Folkestone on Novabridge last April and the money suggests Gatepost may well go close today."
Today's Follow The Money movers come from the meetings at Folkestone and Wincanton
We start at Folkestone in the 14:30 Maiden Stakes (Class 5) over 5f, where Gatepost has been backed in to [3.9] from [8.0]. His sire Footstepsinthesand won all three of his starts including the Guineas in 2005. This looks quite a competitive race for a class 5 maiden. Jockey Jamie Spencer won first time out at Folkestone on Novabridge last April and the money suggests Gatepost may well go close today.
In the 15:00 Handicap (Class 4) over 6f Billy Red has drifted out to [4.0] from [2.09]. He hasn't won since winning at Brighton in August 2010, 12 starts ago, and punters feel that he is unlikely to break that sequence today. He does ride off a similar turf mark to that which he won at Brighton and generally likes to lead, however his current form has not been very good and his price has drifted accordingly.
Finally at Wincanton in the 15:10, Handicap Chase (Class 3) over 3m 3 ½ f Upham Atom has been supported in to [3.55] from [4.70]. He won last time out at Wincanton at 10-1 and may well be able to handle a 4lb rise in weight today as the step up in trip could be in his favour. The one question mark is whether he will be cope with the rise in class as he faces tougher competition today.
