    A week ago I tipped CAP ELORN 5.50 Worc 9-1 to win at Worcester. He ran no sort of race and I am surprised to see him out again so soon. I am thinking that maybe it was only a pipe opener and this time he will be ridden with more purpose. The same reasons apply from last week. At his best he is chucked in. I hope Mrs Hill has her excuses ready as last week was a shocker!

    Not looked into any races but for a life changing bet I think 10p win double on Mighty Yar and Madame Vestris in the last 2 at Sandown. Now where is that holiday brochure?

    Ive done the same dbl Ron, the Mighty Yar race was the only race that interested me from tomorrows cards and I think Madame Vestris has been found a nice race to try and exploit a nice mark, id be more confident about her of the two.

    Mighty Yar is a big horse who might need the run fitness wise and will almost certainly come on for the experience but my gut feeling is that he has the most ability in the field and as such, is the best handicapped. Im not convinced by Leitrim Pass at the trip, he shapes like he wants further than a mile but hes out of a sprinter and he might just be a bit slow. Mount Tiger was impressive at Wolves but it was a nothing race and I dont think that run justifies him being top weight in this field. Swift Bounty has caught my eye this season and I think there is a race in him off his current mark, im not totally convinced about the 1m2 but he certainly outruns his pedigree and I rate the race he ran in last time, id say he would be a decent e/w play in this race at double figures. Pleasure Bent I fear the most but im not sure what to make of his form, on his maiden win you have to say he is still very well handicapped off 78 but he just got home off 72 last time and the form has been shot to pieces. He has the experience/fitness advantage, should improve for the step up in trip and ive little doubt he is a bit better than 78 but I just dont see in him the same level of potential that I see in Mighty Yar.

    Should be an interesting race.

    I quite liked the way UNCLE BERNIE stayed on lto and will be having a dabble at a nice enough e/w price. 2.20 Lingfield. 13/2 general.

    A couple of e/w fancies at Uttoxeter too.
    Chandlers Cross 3.50. 18/1 SJ
    Fintan 4.50. 14/1 SJ
    good luck all.

    NEVEROWNUP is a ridiculous price at 50-1 for Worcester 7.55 tonight. Fist time tongue tie and wouldn't even need to improve any to take a hand in this shocking quality race.

    Cor blimey that seller at Worcester is an appalling race. I can&#8217;t see the old auctioneer earning much commission on that heat as the cry &#8216;no bid&#8217; will surely resonant along the banks of the Severn.

    Wouldn't want to have a bet but the one I&#8217;d take a second look at would be the runner from those old rogues the Pipe&#8217;s which is named after a Bond villain. He&#8217;s got next to no form but that stable doesn&#8217;t preserve with 75 rated beasts unless they think there is money to be made from them. Any whispers, people, about Daddy Martin, who also owns the horse, opening his &#8216;magic fridge&#8217; last night?!?

    Probably Pirou or Creance. If the price drifts I might even stretch to Coutainville or Jullouville. Just for the day of course. That's a holiday for me.

    PS. I went to Skegness once when I was in my late teens. Good time I think.

    Thanks for that one stick bud! Unlucky uncle, i was so close to getting the reverse forecast on because I usually follow your picks but the race had already started, wonder that that would have paid!
