So Swinging London hit the frame @ 20/1 which was fine for my only bet of the day.
Today I have a couple and, as usual, I put them up here with questions attached so you can decide.
Firstly:
Military Tycoon - Uttoxeter 3.10 12/1 Ew
I've been waiting for this one to enter a handicap hurdle but was frustrated that he kept being pulled out on account of the ground not being soft enough. Of course, racing continually sees contradictions being presented and here we are again with the ground at Uttoxeter described as 'Good' yet MT has been left in. I still expect him to be pulled out unless the rain comes in time. I took a small, tentative Ew last night at 8's but feel inclined not to cash out and get the12's on offer. I'll let it ride at 8's and see what happens. If he wins, at least I'll have something on but the ground looks to be an issue. It's a tricky event with a few first-time handicappers.
My second swipe is:
Trethorn - Dundalk 8.30 12/1 Ew
Will wonders never cease? Me, backing in Eire on the all-weather: it's a rarity alright.
Noted this one last time out over the c/d and he was travelling sweetly enough but got caught out as they quickened off a slow pace. He made late ground but wasn't close enough to the action to get involved. He's back again with a useful 7Lbs claimer aboard and has taken money, seeing the current price at 8/1
Two little ew's and a little ew double but do expect MT to be taken out before the race.
