Hello, everyone. There’s one from the county that I like of the morrow. He makes the journey to Chelmsford.
MICK DUGGAN (6.10) – this one had his first run for his current barn, last month, and performed with great credit when finishing a very, and I do mean very, close 3rd at Lingfield Park – he was beaten just two noses. I’d take him to step up on that performance here and get an early win on the board in 2016. That previous outing was Mick D’s first for 15 months and in 3 runs for old boy Ralph Beckett, previously, proved himself more than capable as he won handicaps off 69 and then 75. That last perch incidentally was the same mark he ran off, most admirably, last month. Mick D has only been raised 1 lb for that highly, highly promising effort and for those poor at maths, therefore, runs off an attractive looking perch of 76 tomorrow. The previous Lingfield form look solid as the winner has since run twice and won twice, albeit over hurdles, by 12 lengths and 19 lengths. Meanwhile, the stable of Michael Blake are in decent form with a winner and a runner-up from their last 3 runners.
Good luck, all.
