Just the two yesterday .

Jm Jungle wasn't drawn in the right place, given that no horse drawn higher than 14 has won the race for years. However, to be honest, he wasn't really travelling the best even from the off in my opinion.. Not to worry; he'll be one I'll keep tabs on because I think he's an improved horse and will come good. Shame he missed the Ew places by a Hd but that's racing, eh?

Military Tycoon was not there to win, I think but just to get a run into him to make sure he's in the pink for when they send him out in handicap hurdle on the soft. That's my assessment and I can only say it as I see it, right or wrong.

There's just one bet for today:

Grey Fox - Newbury 2.00 10/1 Ew

Although well beaten last time out, I thought he travelled well until the final 2f found him out. It was a good pipe-opener and he'll appreciate the step down to 1m. He was second in this race last year rated 6Lbs higher and although he looks like a Windsor specialist, I quite fancy him here for at least a place. Trainer Emma Lavelle has three winners in her last seven runners.

Elsewhere I'll have a smidgeon on two others:

Get Shirty - 7.15 Hamilton.
Kinudu Kueto - 7.30 Aintree


From tomorrow I'll be in beautiful Dorset for a few days so my Blog entries will be quite minimal. Unusual for me, I know.

Thanks, chaps.
It's a relief to know that one of my first noted horses has come up and won well; it proves my race-reading eyes were correct with that one and it gives hope for further noted nags.

My other two today are just fancies, really and my betting day is done.

Chuffed :thumbsup:

Racing Post after-race analysis:

"GREY FOX usually saves his best for Windsor but he finished runner-up in this in 2022 and was able to go a place better from a 6lb lower mark this time around."

He'll have to stop reading my blog lol.
