Christ, Risen Again at Yarmouth 2.55 Can't be missed at 6/4 WH. Won easing up in decent time over C&D
4.25 Yarmouth Capital Guarantee. What more can you ask for. Best price I can see is 11/8 but looks like another easy winner lto aiming to capitalise before running at a higher mark
Haydock 16.52 Woroodd. Another easy winner lto looking to follow up Evs still available but can't see it lasting
I had been greatly looking forward to her 3YO debut today but, unfortunately, now a non-runner. Fantastically bred filly who looked potentially very decent as a 2YO but no future entries at the moment.
15:47 Harvanna e/w Class-3 Handicap over minimum distance on good-to-firm ground. Havana Grey filly has a chance in this 5f dash. A tricky event with many holding decent chances of winning. Tom Marquand rides for the Mick Appleby yard. 11/1 (Unibet/BetWay) best price on ATR site, at time of writing.
Over in France there are two who stand out a bit for me in the Gp3 Prix Harcourt. The Francis Graffard trained Asmarani and Andre Fabre's Avedi While Asmarani won a maiden at 4/11 Fav last time, Avedi was runner up to Midak, who won a Gp3 next time. The Fabre horse looks to have the stronger form to me and is readily favoured for me. Of course these are young enough horses open to improvement so it's a bit of a guessing game but I like the form that has been franked to some extent. 4.13 Longchamp Avidi 4/1
Guyon rode him for a turn of foot but the horse doesn't have one. They all looked pretty slow to be honest. Commentator said it was a recognised French Derbt trial. Maybe when the Derby was 12F but I can't see any of today's field wanting a furlong less. I'll give the French Racing a miss, I can't recall the quality of the French runners being so poor. There must be a shed load of colts in the O'brien yard who could have popped over to trouser 33 thousand euros for a few minutes work.
20:50 Chelmsford City - Heeratthetrack - e/w Class-6 Handicap over 7f on the Polytrack surface. 10/1 (Bet365/Wm.Hill) best price on the ATR site, at time of writing. NON-RUNNER (WIthdrawn)
