Interested in one in the Windsor 5:15 tomorrow. Its a classic case of three maiden efforts and then first time in a handicap but its isnt the Varian trained favourite that catches my eye. The one I like is MORELLO 12/1. He has bumped into some decent types including Icespire and put in a fair performance on latest behind Time Chaser at Kempton when going off at 100/1. His performance that day suggests to me that he is quite capable of winning off 65. The yard are very capable of improving one for a few runs and despite the lack of support he can go very close in this modest race. Now 20/1 so the stars possibly not aligned for this one today....but still had a bit more at that price!
1:30 Huntingdon - Water Willow 8/1 looked like it was maybe coming into some sort of form and then fell last time out so i'm chancing that the placed effort on its penultimate start wasn't a one off and can go well again today.
Many happy returns, Simon. Like me, you will know that you are getting old when you see that somebody famous has passed and your first thought is “how old?” R.I.P. John Noakes, television legend and companion of Shep: please log in to view this image
All the best SimonJ. Auld Brig over at Ballinrobe, 8pm @ 20s was my ew punt yesterday evening which I'm already regretting as I reluctantly passed over the Rachel Blackmore ridden Ronova which is attracting a bit of market support. RIP John Noakes, a children's tv legend for those of a certain era.
Gina Mangan can ride Diore Lia in Saturday's Investec Derby Delighted for the owner Richard Aylward that his charity horse is going to be able to generate some extra publicity, although Gina will not be able to claim because the race is a little too valuable; and in reality she would need to claim a couple of stone to be anywhere near the placings. She will face a maximum of nineteen rivals: Twenty hopefuls remain for the Investec Derby at Epsom
Redcar 3.00-Visitant win 5/2.10lb hike for Ayr win might not be enough to stop him going in again. I see Ruby in on six favs at Ballinrobe but I just cant trust him at the smaller meetings.Happy Birthday Simon, remember age is just a number!!
15:20 Cartmel - Morning Royalty (Better over fences, for sure, but will take a chance with him over this marathon hurdle slog).
