I’m Back from the most beautiful of locations near Bridport in Dorset and spent a lot of yesterday on the move, hence the blog absence. I’m back again after my mini-break and am met with a plethora of noted horses. You’ve said it before, Outsider, a lot of alerts makes for a tricky day.
The ghost of last summer’s flat season drifts in as torrential rain causes the going at Catterick to change to Sft/Hvy in places and means that one of my selections is a Nr. So, there goes my L15 already. Ho-hum.
I was scathing about William Easterby’s ride on
Benny Baloo - 4.28 Market Rasen 4/1 Ew
last time out and, despite the booking of Jamie Hamilton hardly inspiring confidence, I take him to score on the good ground.
Commander Crouch – 6.07 Sandown 22/1 Ew
This one got going late last time out with the jockey not looking as concerned as he might have been to make up the ground. Given a comfortable ride on the day, I’m hoping Hector Crouch might rustle up a deal more vim on the ride today.
Invictus Machin 8.30 Limerick 9/2 Ew
is one that I’ve followed since his first chase. I thought he should have won on his last run and although not really convinced the breeding says 3m, he’s got to be done.
Elsewhere, I’ve had a little dabble with these:
Flying Finn – Longchamp 4.13
Sweet William – Sandown 7.07
Al Rufaah – Sandown 8.42
Ew Patent
