Judicial couldn't get to the front but he travelled well in behind. Once he got out he picked up very nicely and nailed Major Jumbo comfortably by 2 and 3/4 lengths. That was a nice performance and the time was quick. Major Jumbo kept on for the forecast. Not the biggest forecast in history but a 9/4 winner and a £5.40 forecast made it a nice enough day.
Not watched yet but it did look like a sure fire R/f
 
I thought Alben Spirit was the safest option in the 3.30 Leicester. Some fairly exposed horses in the field and the 3YO runners appealed more.

The Fahey horse seemed to run a slight personal best last time and off the same mark of 75 he now runs in Class 5 for the first time after running in slightly higher grade previously.

7/2 this morning but only 5/2 now, he has run consistently in all six career starts to around the mid 70's and every reason to assume he will do so again today. The jockey had been on a losing run but just had a winner today so he should be hungry for another one.

3.30 Leicester Alben Spirit 5/2


Back out again today and managed to win from his new mark of 80 at 17/2. I suspect the handicapper will get hold of him after today, so I doubt I will push my luck for the three timer when he next runs.
