Lots of rain about presume its on the soft side everywhere just small stakes for me again multiples

Stormin tom 11/1 sportsbook/ppower 10/1 totesport/betfred Ingleby hollow 15/2 sportsook/ppower/totesport/btefred
Stormin tom may have been unlucky with the weather yesterdat ground was good/gdsft and have only just checked again and its now gd/sft ad soft in places so could easily be soft tomorrow,has never done anything on soft ground but run ok on gd/sft..A track record of 2/2/1/4/1/2/2/1 last season won over 2fs shorter at the track winnig a 0-85 off 80 that was highest ever winning mark so was running better than ever,since that run done nothing and come back down the weights to 76.Could only be speculative now with so much rain was second in this race last season off 72 on first run back,but first run back in this grade one to follow probably not tomorrow but will leave it in as token bet..
Similarly ingleby hollow lots of form on faster ground last sesson won off 76,runs off 75 tomorrow but did run second at carlisle off 79 in a 0-85 on soft ground and is fit from hurdling,has run here before form not great over the c/d but ran well at dinny last time out over a trip to short 5th in a 0-80 over 1m4fs again on faster ground..Again it cpuld be ground that beats it so just small interrsts..
Drifting like a barge stormin tom,i presume as i mentioned thats due to the ground being too soft.16/1 skybet/boyles wouldv'e beeen 4-5/1 last season either complete non trier or running it deliberately on ground it hates,just better off taking it out of the race..
Nottingham 5.50
Penny pot lane 8/1 sportsbook/ppower/corals/lads/skybet/boyles 17/2 victor/365 9/1 skybet/victor.
Pennypotlane ran nice seasonal debut even though only 8th of 13 at ripon thought the horse was left to come home under a consuderate rude that was a 0-80 on faster ground,then ran at donny in what was a weaker race bit dusappointing compared to the donny run...Has a few question marks now after that run,didn't run terrible just compared to tomorriws race it is better,its only a 0-65 same as the donny race but better horses in this potential wise and a few wekl handicapped runners,Pennypotlanes off 65 that's the same mark it wo off last season over tomorrows c/d that was a 0-80 and the softer ground may suit better,again wouldn;t be overly confudent drawn 15 of 17,on softer ground the draw seems to make little difference but there looks a bit of pace on the stands side with tricky dicky so will have another small bet,another one that night be worth following..

Me To nagasaki 8/1 365
Me to nagasaki won't be winning this on recent form for new trainer stewart williams four mediocre runs on the aw,but comes back to turf racong first time since 2017 that was a long time ago may have simply regressed but that season edged on 86 and had run on soft and heavy won off 80,then 3rd off 86 and 2nd off 86,obviously bit to prove after recent form but only runs off 75,if it's the ground its wanted then well handicapped betting will be interesting although this race is a lot harder than recent poor aw form..again could be one to follow for a few runs.
Wolves 7.40
Fire diamond 7/2 365 skybet/betfred/totesport/sportsbook generally International man 6/1 generally 13/2 sportingbet..
Fire diamond and international man have been running consistently after having not run well for quite awhile,fire diamond winning at swell last time out winning by 5ls in a 0-75 only got 5 pound rise for winning that 0-75 and drops into a 0-70 tomorrow..Hoprfuly adventureman will go on with something else as fire diamond often gets beat through lack of pace,like when behind international man over c/d on april second,fire diamonds worse off at the weights as well tomorrow,but international man had won a 0-80 previous to that win...Proably something lurking in here so just a couple of small bets...
