SANDOWN TO CORK ANY FANCIES ?

Letthegoodtimesroll is interesting in the newcastle bumper. Was very strongly supported to make a winning debut for the yard but ran off the track and has been out since with a knee injury. The fav won a relatively decent bumper the last day but horses typically find it tough a defy penalties in British bumpers. If Ellison’s is strong in the market I would follow this horse in.

It was hard not be to impressed with Finian’s Oscar in Hereford and he is clearly a horse with a massive future. However, he is being priced on the assumption that he has the requisite pace / ability for the Tolworth. The market is taking a huge amount on trust and, on a pure form basis, he has to be a lay @ c.7/4.

Veinard is yet another advertisment for Gordon Elliot’s yard. The make-up of the race is quite favourable and odds against looks a touch big to me.

It shouldn’t stop him tomorrow but hardly a positive sign for Bob Papa that he starts of straight over three miles. Blazer showed plenty last time and this looks his trip. I imagine they are working backwards from the Novice handicap in Cheltenham with him so interesting to see what he does tomorrow.

All in all its not a Saturday bountiful in star quality but there should be a reasonable amount of informative action.

What in the name of Jesus is David Pipe doing with Celestial Path i'd like to know as well.

also, this for me is the Racing quote of the year so far from Nigel Twiston-Davies re Astrocad.

Astracad has won eight races for Nigel Twiston-Davies, including a veterans' chase at Cheltenham in November.

He was last seen filling the runner-up spot in an open handicap at Wetherby and while he has never previously tackled three miles in 48 starts, his trainer does not expect that to be an issue.

Twiston-Davies said: "He's in good form and the drier the ground the better his chance.

"He hasn't run over three miles, but we've never thought he wouldn't get it."

And Twiston isn't a bad trainer at all but jaysus!

Yeah its a bit anodyne of me to say I was taken with him, sure weren't we all.

I seem to remember Nicholls saying many enough times in the press that he isn't wildly hard on his novice hurdlers and that the novice chase season is what it is all about. He hasn't been producing novice chasers anyway, but that looks to have changed a little bit this year.

I wonder if the fact Capitaine is by Montmartre might mean he is a little racier than your typical Nicholls Tolworth novice hurdler.

My head is kind of being lead by the kind of horse you'd warm to and the kind you wouldn't. Don't think its been a wildly strong year for novice hurdlers, Willie Mullins struggling a little in the AP list. Just looking at Tizzards thinking sh!t, that could go off a single figure price for the neptune.

Pipes are by no means sentimental, but that horse has done a lot for them during some pretty baron years. I'd like the think they wouldn't have persisted after kelso if they felt there was nothing there.

im amazed at how short the potts horse is now?..just on value ..
