    Well done Stick on Mick and the winners today

    7.55 Worcester

    Saga De Tercey 8/1


    This is about as poor a contest as you are likely to see and if the application of a first time visor (replacing blinkers) can rejuvenate Donald McCain's 8 year old then Saga De Tercey could win this comfortably under top weight off a mark of 95. A winner of 3 Novice Hurdles in spring 2012 which earned him a rating of 125 (final start he gave 12lb to a horse now rated 114), Saga De Tercey has been very poor in his 8 starts over hurdles to date but he has fallen a massive 30lb to a mark of 95 now which allows him to drop back into this extremely poor selling handicap hurdle. Moreover, he did run his best race in a long time 2 starts back off a 10lb higher mark (unsuited by soft ground LTO) and it looks significant that stable jockey Jason Maguire is back in the saddle for the first time since November last year. Although a mark of 125 was probably slightly high, judged on his 3 Novice Hurdle wins last year he definitely has more than enough ability to win off a mark of 95 and this will probably be the easiest opportunity he'll get. Donald McCain has a good record at the track and in Selling races and if the first time visor adds that little extra spark then he could rout this field. However, given his regressive looking profile you can't have more than a small bet on him but hopefully he can land the spoils at 8/1.

    Favourite looked beaten, hope he is ok.
    The lovely Mrs Hill will now be explaining how last week the horse needed the run and blinkers have made all the difference and be fluttering her eyelashes!

    Not Sure why the commentators are saying Richard Hughes was unlucky on the jolly at Sandown. He lost the race in the first furlong when he took a pull from the inside stall and allowed everyone to come across him which is a very risky tactic at Sandown. The horse however is a different class to anything else in that race today and must win next time when ridden more appropriately.

    What is also so nice about AP is that he comes across as such a nice guy. He is always so quick to give praise and credit to others, I heard him interviewed post race on ATR this afternoon and he just left you feeling what a nice man he was.

    I quite fancy the Clive Cox newcomer in the next at Sandown, I think Adam Kirby has come from Lingfield to ride it which must imply they are looking for more than a quiet introduction. The Jarvis horse looks useful however and has attracted support this morning, maybe a forecast for fun.
    Sandown
    7.10 Winter Spice 7-1
    Win bet
    & Top of the Glas in a reversed forecast.
