Thinking blinkers might do something for Safran De Cotte in the next at Taunton. Other afternoon dart is Jacob's Pillow in the 2.30 at Southwell, though tempted by Golden Spun e/w in that too.
There's a Norton / Bradley match up, Indian Affair, in the 2.30 @Southwell, but it's rock bottom - oh, go on then! ( but I can also see Fujin, in an uncanny link to the first race, going in again )
Afternoon all, going for an outsider here at Southwell with SHEARIAN. Looking at previous runs here likes to be near the front and can do this from stall 3. Worth a couple of quid ew at 28/1.
Bloody Mary won in a nice enough fashion today. Bookmaker reaction for the Mares Novice was surprisingly unexcited, cut in a few places but unchanged in others. I thought they'd have taken a more impressed stance, purely on the basis it's likely to be a small field and apart from Limini, it's very open.
Yep, Bloody Mary did what she was asked and enjoyed a solid UK introduction. By all accounts now heads straight to Cheltenham for the new Mares Only Novice Hurdle. I hope the caterers order in extra supplies of tomato juice, voddie, Worcestershire sauce et al. Because if she obliges on the Thursday of the meet there is only one thing that winning punters are going to want to drink!
