One feels inclined to have a little on Tippy Toes (2.55 Chester) since we have absolutely no clue as to the stable's intentions for this one or, indeed, what the real ability of the filly is. To us punters, it's anyone's guess. So, A tiny insurance, so as not to miss out in the (unlikely) event that he should strike lucky here.
Really, it's a trappy old race, with so many ifs and buts, that it should be left alone but this is a calm Sunday (Placido Domingo, in Spanish, would you believe?) that invites watching some sport for little stakes. So, I'll chance my arm with a go on:
Illustrating - 2:55 Chester 20/1 Ew
He's run some decent efforts in the context of this race, not least with three group race runs last back-end. There's every chance that the eassier ground and the extra furlong will be welcome and 20/1 does look generous to me.
Railway Muice - 2.45 MR - 5/1 Ew
This two-times course winner looks a safe bet to at least frame here so the 5/1 is just about 'do-able'. It's not the best race in the world, is it?
Lunar Jet - 4:30 Chester - Ew 16/1 first 6 places
Last back - end this one ran 5th in the November h/cap at Donny with an OR of 86 on soft ground, running on with Ceiran Fallon up. Well, he's down to 77 here and that, surely, makes his 25/1 price look ridiculous to me. However, the trainer is 0-8 on the course over the last 5 years so I'm content to take 16/1 ew extra 6 places with that in mind.
3 x Ew singles
Ew trixie
Good luck with whatever you do today.
