I've a few fancies. I had a day off yesterday, so feeling refreshed and ready for war today.
Haydock
12.35 Maura Jeanne was raised 3lb for the last day when second, which looks fair enough. She should stay the trip all day long, and in truth I don't understand why she's not shorter in the betting, than the current 7/1 available.
1.05 Wolf Walker looks a half decent horse, having won several point to point races, and then an excellent second at Hereford last time when out running the odds. So I think it's closer between the market leaders than the market would have us believe, and Wolf Walker looks good value at 6/1 or thereabouts.
1.35 Ned Tanner is still on a workable mark of 119, won this race last year, and the wind operation he's had will hopefully help to rejuvenate him to his best form.
2.05 Paddy O Mahler ran better with the cheekpieces on the last day, and can cope with a 5lb rise in the weights. I'd have him as favourite myself.
3.05 Egbert is interesting now trained by trainer Christian Williams. He's got form on different surfaces, including better ground, so he should handle it today. A mark of 130 doesn't look too bad at all, hence if the best version of Egbert turns up, he should run really well.
3.40 I could see Sun Lady Marine running well here. When I looked at this race I got the feeling this horse was underestimated in the betting, basically because all it's form was in France. I'm happy enough to take a chance on her at double figure prices.
Taunton
1.50 Fat Faced Columbo should just bloody win, looking the form pick that he does.
2.50 See The Green has ran well enough the last few times, looks on a fair rating plus I'm hoping he can improve with the first time blinkers. I give him a really good squeak.
Let's go to war!
