Sandown
3.50 Ardkilly Witness 5pts e/way 14/1 already advised – trainer says,
"He's in great form but we decided to miss Cheltenham and Aintree because he wants to go right-handed so he's being trained for the bet365 Chase at Sandown on the last day of the season. I'm looking forward to that and he will probably run in a novice chase on April 6 at Market Rasen which should set him up for Sandown. He wants genuine good ground and isn't a slow horse and I think he'll stay."
5.00 Christopher Wren 7/1 3pts e/way – looks on a good mark for this chase and the race is named after the trainers father so a possibly targeted for it.
Doncaster
7.05 Born In Bombay 11/4 – 10pts win – price will have probably gone by the time you read this.
Trainers choice in stable tours – “Has done little wrong and looks smart, he’s a horse I have a lot of time for and he’ll run over 1m-1m2f starting in a h’cap at Doncaster.”
Ran out of time to do write ups on some of these,
Leicester
2.00 Mendacious Harpy 33/1 1pt e/way – trainer says, “She is still a maiden but gave us plenty of encouragement last year, including when fifth at listed level. If we box clever we may just nick some black type with her along the way.”
Haydock
2.20 Louis The Pious 6/1 3pts e/way – trainer says, “ He had a run at Pontefract, which was fine. There’s a nice handicap for him at Haydock on Saturday, over 7f worth £50,000.”
2.20 Sir Reginald 5/1 2pts e/way
2.55 Talmada 5pts win sp – trainer says, “I like her, she’s a strong filly, and needed the experience at Newbury. It was a strong division and the first two are probably decent fillies and she might prove to be the same.”
Ripon
2.50 Doc Hay 7/1 3pts e/way – trainer says, “There’s a nice race for him at Ripon on Saturday and he’ll be targeted at all the top sprint h’caps and maybe conditions and listed sprints.”
3.25 1pt combo f/c David O’Meara runners – 1pt e/way each
Sweet Lightning 9/1 – trainer says, “He was 4th in the Lincoln and 5th in the Spring Cup so he’s been bang there in the two biggest h’caps so far this season. I think he’s capable of winning a nice h’cap.”
Ingelby Angel 10/1 – trainer says, “He’s a wonderful horse. All he’s done is improve and there’s a chance he’ll improve again. He likes a long straight, tracks like Ripon and Haydock.”
Robert The Painter 14/1 – trainer says, “All he has done is improve and was 3rd in the Lincoln and won at Nottingham off 95. There’s a nice race for him at Haydock on Saturday
4.05 Chancery 6/1 – 3pts win – trainer says, “The ground was a little soft for him l/t/o but I think he’s up to Listed class.”
Doncater
8.05 Vanity Rules 5/1 2pts e/way – trainer says, “She’s a lovely big filly and came to me from John Gosden. She goes nicely for us and I will start her off in a mile handicap at Doncaster. I’d like to try and sneak some black type with her.”
Limerick
2.25 Table Rock 5pts win
4.45 El Salvador 5pts win
