Good Luck <ok>
 
Another decent day for punting.

Lingfield
3.25 Mountain Bell 2-1

Bet of the day - won by 10 lengths first time out and looks to have any amount of potential in him.

4.35 Winter house 6-4
Once raced and then injured. That one race however was the 2015 Wood Ditton in which he beat a good field. Should he have retained his initial ability he should be way too good for this lot.

Ascot
2.30 Sign of Victory 5-2

This one will wonder where all the hurdles have gone but a mark of 88 on the flat could prove very lenient. I suspect Barneys buddy may be looking to get him raised a few pounds to have a go at something bigger at the track in June.

4.15 Predominance 8-1
Didn't fire in the Silver cup on Lincoln day but made no mistake next time and looked as though there was more to come, at the price I will take the chance.

SIGN OF A VICTORY does look to be on a potentially easy mark! Finally has his good ground and altho blue is right in he will wonder where the hurdles have gone this doesn't looks the strongest rave and SOAV does have an awesome turn of foot 5/2 looks to be a very decent price
 
Real funny couple of Lingfield trials to work out but in the Oaks trial I like Capricious Cantor 12/1 who was green last time when veering but still had enough talent to win and if stepping forward again might grab herself an Epsom ticket.
 
A few I like at fancy prices today;
Two in the Victoria Cup;
EMELL 33/1 & RELATED 50/1

Regal Parade 4.45 @ 33/1
My old mate BEN CEE PEE M Hex 3.30 @ 10/1
BARWAH Thirsk 8.35 @ 16/1

I also see that JUNE CARTER runs in the Hexham bumper having missed the engagement I put it up for earlier in the week. Has the job jockey booked today!
 
2:15 Haydock - Beltor 20/1
3:20 Haydock - General Mahler 16/1
4:15 Ascot - Rivellino 40/1
4:45 Ascot - Salvatore Fury 22/1

Just a few I fancy ew at prices that seem way too big

They go through the cards. Anyone fancy a challenge?
 
Stephens equalizes for Brighton then sees a straight red for one of the worst challenges I have ever seen. He was still protesting his innocence when they showed him the 6 inch gash his stud made in the shin of the Boro player <doh>

Really poor tackle, he knew what he was at too with them having a run in just 2 minutes prior. Possibly cost Brighton a stint in the PL. Not much opposition in the play offs anyway <whistle>

Did you actually think that was a red card? I thought it was harsh. Booking for having studs up yeah but he got to ball first, think they might have that overturned if they appeal I don't think it was a straight red

A few inches higher and he's caught the knee and ended the blokes career. Downright dangerous in my book Smokey
 
I'm not saying he didn't catch him but there was no malice in it, he didn't go flying in to the challenge and he got the ball but had his studs a bit high, I just thought straight red was bit harsh. On the plus side is much rather play Brighton than Boro in Play offs so I'm not complaining too much!

Credit where it's due - Jamie Spencer is having a fantastic day at Lingfield with two high quality rides.
