hi fellas! looks like a seriously good day. here are my first three for today,all over the jumps: carlisle,1 40: MINELLA FIVEO ran a lot better last time out,than before,before falling,so if that hasnt left its mark,can back that up today.solid e w chances..also is on the same mark as last time out.. 2 10: a highly competitive and very open contest,which isnt easy easy to work out,as most of these make their chasing debut today,so a lot will depend,how they take to it.DU SOLEIL,though,is far less exposed than the majority here,and goes well fresh.he might not have been so useful over hurdles as some others,but his future was always going to be over fences,being with this yard,so definite claims today.. uttoxeter,2 20: not the strongest of races,but the two main players are surely KINGSTON and kublai.the latter romped home by 18 lengths last time out,and has major claims again off the same mark today,but the former ran quite well in a better contest than this last time out,and his bangor win looks solid enough too,so a narrow vote goes to him here..
carlisle,2 45: at first sight,this looks a two horse race between return ticket and good boy bobby,but i ll take a chance on THE SOME DANCE KID e w.has already shown some ability last season,and is with a highly respected yard,so not impossible,he ll run a good race..
uttoxeter,3 25: a similar contest to the 2 10 at carlisle,as most of these enter new territory over fences,so there could be some untapped potential here.i think,JUST A STING looks every inch a chaser,as connections waste no time to to send him over fences this season.last time out was probably a step too far for him(at this stage of his career),but his third two starts back behind two very promising rivals was a clear sign of better to come,despite eventually beaten far..so,all things considered today,can run a massive race on chase debut,for a top yard..
carlisle,3 45: this features one of my big old favourites,LOOSE CHIPS.last season was a bit up and down for him,but hes too well treated at present,to be ignored.so,if he gets into his customary frontrunning rhythm today,wont go down without a fight here..e w value..
Wolverhampton 5:25 Compas Scobie is in a rich vein of form but will be massively handicapped by being in Alex Hammonds daily double! Michael takes two to Wolverhampton tonight and the one in this race has a chance of making the frame. BIG TIME MAYBE is 20/1 and although the yard are not exactly in the best of form that price is way too big for a horse of his ability. Worth an EW dabble.
I was just about to put one up in this race too. CS is very short but I like the look of THE LACEMAKER @ 12/1. Only beaten by CS just under 3 lengths but seems a massive price tonight. Furthermore the last time he ran here he won.
