Tips
Three bets across the Newbury maiden card today: two Owen Burrows newcomers and a big-priced Jack Channon 2TO, leaning on the two angles that have been almost bombproof for us. For the first time in a while, I’m playing a 1pt minimum.
I’m going to chance one who we backed recently on stable debut for Luke Dace, who put a similar showing in on his first start at Kempton. Switching to Lingfield today, where he has solid course form, I’ve had to dip back in.
One bet on a quiet Monday – one of Musselburgh’s strongest yards with their only runner of the day, 7lbs below his last winning mark. Brief thoughts on the others I looked at as well.
A week spent on the sidelines as a watching brief, and we’re back with the one that went into the tracker last post. Kiss Don’t Tell at the Curragh, 1pt each-way at 33/1 off what I think is a lenient opening mark, with a 5lb claimer on board.
A bumper day of it on the betting front, going to war with four chanced and all from the Tracker.
Two bets on the evening cards, at Windsor and Lingfield — including one I couldn’t leave alone after we were unfortunate to have a blown start on Saturday, turned back out in exactly the same sphere.
One bet tonight at Kempton, and it’s a 100/1 shot with All-Weather form and a pedigree that wants this trip. There’s method in the madness.
Three today – Carmel Valley at Ayr, Ballybunion at Kempton and Just An Hour at Windsor. Plus a word on two baffling runs in Ireland yesterday, and the email list being canned.
The Curragh is by far where the best of the action is today, and it’s my watch for the afternoon. Two bets there, both with Billy Lee up – Lohoobb for Michael Grassick and Ken Condon’s Marmeladova.
The only bet is in the worst grade of the day, but a bet is a bet. Roman Spring drops into a Classified Stakes for the first time and from stall 2 should be able to ping the gates and dominate at Lingfield.
