Royale looks good for that stick , scotswell followed royal home some time back and a return to sedgefield could well aid in a return to form and I would not be suprised if scot followes royal home again at a big 14s
2:00 Sedge - Sam Lord 12/1 Back down to last winning mark and excellent course form with 3 wins, 3 seconds from 7 visits makes this a cracking eway bet in my opinion.
Morning guys off to see the Poppy's at Tower of London today so I will be having a double on alfajar 120 hills and dales 150 both lingfield £50 win double and the returns will be donated to this years poppy appeal so fingers crossed GL if you play
Livia's Dream for a n each way selection in this 3.20 at Lingfield, second in this last year and 14-1 looks alright for a place.
Cheers chaps. Certainly did it very cosily. If any of you get a chance I would be interested to hear thoughts on the ride given to AFICIONADO in the 2:00 Sedgefield
Absolute swaggering ride from Shane Kelly on Princes' Trust at Lingfield there. Tons in hand and cocky as you like.
Just had a look for you Stick - I would say that is a horse worth following when money shows up for it. It travelled very well and the jockey had more horse than he would have liked underneath at some stage as it was clear today was not the day. I feel he would have been happy to see others pull clear as would not have wanted to continue travelling like that with everything else pushing away. As it was he could genuinely say that once he realised the horse had no chance with the leading pair he did not want to give the horse a hard race on his return to the track. I think this is a genuine explanation and I do not feel were he to have ridden for everything he would have got near the winner and runner up today. What is clear is that a horse that can travel that well and is only 4 years old has not reached the mark he will eventually have. What were your observations? On another note over at Lingfield Hidden Gold must be very useful as was given a poor ride by racing wide, making ground up mid race to yet still race wide, and still managed to win with authority.
Aficionado -was it a schooling job --didn't see it -but put it in a bet with your winner stick and Heisman 6 30 k tonight........
Backed Top Diktat this morning in the 6:30 at Kempton got 50s which I thought was a huge price for this horse and can't understand why it's so big and well worth an EW play Also like 7:00 Kempton - Jenny Sparks 14/1 8:00 Kempton - Black Truffle 9/1 Both EW
